Chapter 65: Chapter 65
Here is the most prosperous office building in the center of the city. From the huge window walls here, you can see the scenery of the entire city center.
The position I'm applied for was a part-time personal assistant for an actress, and because it was a short-term contract, the pay was high and the working hours were relatively free. I knocked on the door, and a serious- looking man opened the door for me, he told me his name was Joe.
“It is going to be a challenging position, because most of your working hours would be at night, mostly starting from 1am to 6am, are you sure you are okay with that? ”
I nodded my head firmly. Staying up all night might be hard for normal human, but for me, a werewolf, it’s very easy. Besides, I’d rather stay awake at night than kept having those weird dreams about Athan Buffay and wolves.
“Perfect!” Joe looked relieved, “let me take you to Elaine then, you will be working for her in the next few months.”
We took an elevator and went down, Joe said Elaine was getting ready for a magazine cover shooting. As we walked through the hallway, everyone seemed so busy, a tense atmosphere spread throughout the floor, and these working humans were almost running at work.
I don’t usually pay much attention to movie stars, so I didn’t know how famous this Elaine was. But when Joe pushed the dress room door open, I recognized her immediately. Not from the TV, but through Athan Buffay.
I met her once, when the first time I went to a party with Athan. She was the woman that spilled her wine on my dress! I had great impression with her because she was so unforgettable! Not just because of her pretty face and perfect body, but because Markus once told me that she was the woman who drugged Athan Buffay with hallucinogens!
How on earth did she, a werewolf became an actress in the human world?
Elaine waved her hands to Joe, and he left the room and closed the door, there were only the two of us left in the room. Surprisingly, she was not surprised to see me.
“Katherine Green, is it?” she raised her eyebrows, she was wearing a black velvet beret black vail, her deep blue eyes peeked out from the veil and looked at me, her red lips slightly raised, “I didn’t expect that you actually dare to come.”
She didn’t look as aggressive as the last time I saw her, but her eyes were full of disgust as always. I tried to make myself sound very calm: “I didn’t know I will be working for you,” Elaine slightly smiled while I talk, and I continued: “why did you hire me if you knew it was going to be me?”
“Well, I have my reasons,” she stood up from the sofa chair and lighted up a cigarette, soon the smoke filled the room. Elaine walked forward and stopped in front of me, she glanced me from head to toe, after a few seconds, she burst out a laughter: “Did Athan get tired of you and kick you out? You look terrible.”
“I told you, I was his assistant, nothing more.” I lowered my eyes, didn't look at her, and continued, "Why, do you miss him? ”
“Shut up! Now that you work for me, you will be answering my questions!” Elaine leaned toward my face said fiercely, “don’t you dare question me!”
I looked up and met her pretty eyes, and laughed: “don’t get angry at me so easily yet, Elaine, I’m not your enemy. Now will you tell me the reason you hire me?”
Elaine rolled her eyes and spoke back: “I just want to see what happened to you, how did you pissed off Athan and got throwed out!”
“If you are so curious, why don’t you give him a call and ask?” Elaine’s face turned red when she heard my words, and she raised her hand to hit me. I caught her wrist and pushed it back, said to her calmly: “that’s right, I know that you are never allowed to show up in front of him, and I also don’t plan to see him ever again. If you are actually offering me this job, I will stay and work for you. But it doesn’t mean that you can humiliate me or hit me, and I can assure you that I have nothing to do with Athan Buffay.”
Elaine looked at me carefully for a moment, as if thinking about what I said. After a moment, she nodded, "fine, but you need to tell me what had happened to Athan. He hasn't been showing up to any events since the explosion, what exactly happened? Where is him right now?"
I sighed, I didn’t know that she cared about him this much, even when she knew that he hated her. I shook my head and said sincerely: “Sorry, I don’t know where he is, I haven’t seen him since I left.”
I knew that Elaine didn’t hire me out of kindness, but because she want to know about Athan. So when I told her that I didn’t know much, she waved at me impatiently and told me to go out. Walking out of the building, I couldn’t help shaking my head, it didn’t look like this job was going to be easy.
Just when I was about to leave, a woman stopped me.
