Chapter 54: Chapter 54

I'm not a crybaby but I never thought I would live in such a situation.

I always watched these kinds of scenes in high school with distance and detachment, the victims I could not put myself in their place being on the highest step of the hierarchy, when the others were harassed, I never took part or almost.

Indeed, for me it was normal, it was how society should normally operate. The strong make their authority known to the weak. I saw no harm in it until I experienced it for myself.

Having to suffer the wickedness of others when I did nothing to them and for something beyond my control.

I find that really unfair.

So when I heard Greg's voice, I turned to him asking for his help. It's just like when those people who were being bullied in my presence looked at me begging me to ask my "friends" to stop bullying them. At that time I did it or not depending on my mood, but I was so haughty and arrogant at that time when I thought that their fate depended on a whim on my part.

The day when I felt good I helped them but when I didn't feel like it, I went my way without giving them a second look.

It was so cruel of me but I couldn't know how other people felt so I couldn't put myself in their shoes.

But today when I had a simple taste of their ordeal without even having to be physically harassed, I feel like the most fragile of women and I don't like to feel that way.

We only understand someone's pain when we have experienced it ourselves, otherwise, everything we say about it will be out of pure condescension.

I looked at Greg and saw deep in his eyes the trouble settling in despite his cold face. He moved through me to stand in front of me. Elsa was also there with a frowning face looking at everyone in the room with a real desire to tear them to pieces. She was a lycanthrope after all so seeing her getting so mad at these people for me when she was part of this damn pack really warmed my heart.

" I asked you a question. What is happening here?"

I saw everyone present begin to tremble with fear, even this woman who was looking at me all high and powerful just now. She was so scared it looked like a little mouse in front of a tiger.

In fact, it really was.

Greg may be sweet and kind to me when it comes to us, but when another person comes in, especially if that person wants to bully me, he becomes a whole different person.

He's so scary, I got stuck in his office probably interpreting his actions to Sherry, he didn't do it to preserve his star model so as not to hold his agency's brand image and by extension his own.

Greg did it for me.

My heart skipped a beat as I put a hand on my chest. Greg defends me no matter who? So he too feels the same as me? I smiled my face blushing slightly despite the current situation.

I really feel very happy to learn that he may still love me a little even if this realization scares me a little not knowing what I will do if it is really effective.

What should I do in this case when I belong heart and soul to my alpha and fatefully I am also in love with him? I'm screwed, I can't give up either of them, I want them both, it's unbearable.

I am garbage.

I sighed looking up at the stage in front of me.

Whether it was Greg's assistant or this woman, no one dared raise their face in front of Greg, the others had turned their faces leaving those who intimidated me in priority to have their suspenders pulled up.

Ah, when the boss arrives there is no one left?

That's when I realized that despite his young age, Greg didn't get there just because of his talent for business.

His only charisma is pressure on others and when he seems pissed off you might think of a monster when he doesn't do much. It must probably be due to his overwhelming aura. Even I can feel it despite it not being addressed to me.

" Sir... I..."

The woman tried to speak but her voice trailed off as she looked at her boss's cold face. She did not understand how they ended up in this situation. Their president never set foot in this place and never cared about what goes on between the employees, but for this new girl, he came and is now holding them accountable.

Who is she exactly? She just thought it was a girl recommended by Elsa, but no more. If she is so important to the point that he, the CEO himself, comes to her rescue, then she has committed a serious fault. Greg Travis is ruthless, everyone knows that.

She looked at the assistant angrily, he didn't tell her that the girl in question was so precious in the eyes of their CEO or she would never have dared to do what she did.

Greg was so angry, he smelled Sophia's anguish and following her scent found this gang-stalking scene. He knows who the instigator is and intends to take good care of him.

This guy had allowed himself too much freedom since he had been his assistant... Still happy that it was his driver who is also a lycanthrope in his pack who takes care of the personal aspect of his life. He restricted his influence in his affairs but even with so little room for action, he still managed to profit from it.

He and this woman thought they were the bosses in this structure, he didn't care since they were doing their job, but by attacking his wife, they signed their death warrant.

He looked at them one last time before turning.

" Put away your things. You're both fired"
