Chapter 48: Chapter 48

**Cassie’s POV**

That celebration was not bad at all. I have lots of fun, and at least it helps me to forget that thing that I have been struggling with for the past few weeks. My dad said that talking to other people and focusing on other things will help me cope, and I think he is right.

Angel insisted that she would drive me home, and I cannot disagree with her, especially with those glistening eyes of hers. I have no heart to reject such a wonderful offer from a wonderful person. She might be a little bit rude to our boss, but she is kind. There is no need to doubt it.

Before leaving, I approached Mr. Ross, said goodbye, and thanked him for his warm welcome party.

"Ahm, thanks for the treat; I am so happy about it, but why did you let us off this early?" I asked him. asking ink I am being too shameless. Asking that straightforward way.

"You are new, and I think you need to take a little bit of rest. This day is intended for you to familiarize yourself with yourself, and I think you are doing a good job. I see that you have those papers. Memorize those faces because you will need them for your work. Have a safe day."

I smiled at him, just a small smile. "Thank you, Mr. Ross."

He nodded, and we said goodbye again. Angel will drive me home, but she needs to go back to the company. I can't stop myself from feeling bad about going off work this early, and she has to handle all the work.

"It's okay; I am okay, Cassie. I can handle the work, and it is your celebration, so relax," she aforementioned.

"Thank you, Angel. I hope I am not being a burden to you."

"Not at all! But I wish I could go with you. I miss Charlie; that kid is so cute and handsome at the same time! I am sure that he will be a heartthrob like his father in the future."

I cackled. "He is a loyal man then."

She drives me home, and when I am finally in front of the apartment building, we say goodbye again. She has to go back to the company.

I knocked on the door, and Marcus opened the door for me. "You are a little early, sis."

"My boss let me have me off for this day. Where is Charlie? I have something for everyone."

Marcus took the large paper bag that I am holding. My boss is so generous that if I do not manage to stop him, he will order food that can last for a month for us. Kidding, werewolves have a huge appetite, so I have to work harder. Bills and food

"Mom! You are early?" Charlie asked me.

"Yes, my boss gave me a day off, and he also gave me this! You want steak, right?"

We went straight to the kitchen, and I served the food. Put everything on the plate and bowl. Dad asked me the same question, and I answered it with the same answer too.

We shared the food and had a little chit-chat. Since it is early, I decided to go for a walk with my son. It is so cold here, so we wear thick clothes and jackets. We go outside until darkness envelopes the sky.

The moon shines so brightly, and I can't help but feel bitter about it. I know that I have no right to question her. In the first place, life is not intended for eternity. It is something to be treasured for a lot longer. But I can't stop thinking that my friend's life is too short. I hope there is even more.

"Is Dad happy now?" My son asked me an innocent question. It is hard for me to answer that.

"I hope he is."

We go home, and when we arrive on my pad, I prepare Charlie for his bed. And when he fell asleep, I took very strong pills for me to have a good night's sleep. Human sleeping pills do not affect me.

The next day, the same routine happened as well. I send my son to his grandfather and his uncle as well. Angel gave me a free ride, and I told her that when my payday comes, I have to treat her with money for her gas. I am the kind of person who hates being a burden and such.

"You have to prepare, Cassie! Works are piled, and the number of paperwork is chilling," she said in a joking manner, but I have this gut feeling that she is not joking at all.

But if she thinks that I will be a little offended about it, I am not. I think having lots of work will help me stay that way, and I also forgot about that pain for a while.

We entered the parking lot, and we went straight to the lobby and elevator. Inside, we were greeted by some employees and some familiar faces as well.

When we finally reached the top floor, Angel instructed me to go inside Mr. Ross's office so I could give him his schedule.

I do not know what came into my mind, but I went first to the pantry and made a cup of coffee.

I went inside his office, forgetting to knock, and I was so shocked at what I saw that I almost threw the cup of coffee. It is a bit hot, so it spilled on my palm.

It is so early! So I never imagined him with a girl on his lap, and goodness gracious, I thanked whoever it was that spared some clothes on their body.

"I am so sorry! I will be back later," I said out of shock. But I am also confused because I feel offended by thinking that a woman is sitting on his lap. What is wrong with me?

My boss pushed the woman to the floor and tried to chase me, but because I am faster than him, with my inhuman speed also, I managed to escape.

I look at my palm, and the burned skin is slowly healing. I am a bit confused since I should have a lesser power for healing since I am mateless.

Hey, are you alright?" Angel asked me. I nodded to her.

"I am fine."

She looks satisfied with my answer. "Tell me, is something happening inside his office?"

Well, I hate lies, so I did not dare to lie. I said to her that I saw, and I regret not instantly

"That walking horny dog! I will castrate his balls!"

I managed to stop her and calm her down. I have no plans to be an accessory to a human murder. I believe that violence is not a choice here.
