He needed some blood to replenish his energy, and to also help him out for the next two weeks. He wasn’t sure if this young girl was really his mate, and maybe he was granted a second chance mate as he never got to meet his first one. He didn’t want to suffer from blood lust around any humans and he was sure if that orphanage did exit as well as the girl, then he was sure to encounter a lot of humans.
He walked to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, he removed the fresh tray and then opened the secret compartment that was hidden from the human staff which contained blood packs. Lee frowned, he didn’t like the packs but at the moment it was better than scaring the staff for some fresh blood which would lead to the whole household waking up and him explaining what he was doing that early in the morning.
Just after he reheated three packs of the blood and some raw meat his cellphone rang, seeing that it was Michael he asked, “What time?”
“Eight.”
“Good, everything else?”
“It is still too early to see about those, and it is also Sunday which means there are a lot of offices closed today. However, I am already working on an email that can be sent to all the businesses and informing them that a sudden issue has occurred and your immediate attention is needed. The time stipulation of how long the problem might be for is still undetermined and they would have to wait for a follow-up message,” Michael said.
“That could work too. Get James to pick you up and make sure to pick me up by six. From here to the airport is an hour and don’t want to be caught in the Sunday morning traffic.”
“Yes sir,” Michael said and the call was cut again.
Lee looked at the time on his phone, there was still an hour again before James would be here. He then drank the blood that was clotting due to getting cold and ate the raw meat. Lee returned to his room, grabbing a suit jacket, matching pants, a tie, a shirt, clean boxers, a pair of socks, and placed them on the bed before taking his business trip leather shoes and place them next to his bed.
Lee then freshened up himself, he couldn’t be smelling and have bloodstains on his teeth, so he made sure there was no evidence showing what he was to the human eyes. After showering and while dressing, he suddenly had a thought.
‘I have to do this. I need to get that girl, what if she really is my mate, if something happens to her I would indeed hate myself later on after knowing that I had known about her. After getting her I would need to keep her hidden and out of sight, if my family gets to know about her then things wouldn’t be easy. What if she doesn’t want to come with me? I need to think of something. What should I do to get her to come here with me?’
He heard his phone vibrate, he looked at it and saw it was a message from Michael informing him that they had arrived and waiting for him ten feet away from the main gate to enter the family mansion entrance. Lee looked at himself in the mirror and ensured that he looked like he was heading out for a business meeting, he then grabbed his phone charger and the interceptor inside his room before turning on the detector and cameras in his room.
“Where are you going?” he heard his grandfather’s voice when he was about to close the front door, he looked up and saw that his grandfather was now coming into view from at the top of the stairs. His suitcase was already outside and behind the door so he was sure that his grandfather didn’t see it.
“Meeting,” was the one-word answer that he gave his grandfather.
“Best of luck,” his grandfather said, before turning and returning in the direction that he came from.
Lee released a sigh before closing the front door and then taking his suitcase and walking the way to the main gate. It was a good ten minutes’ walk from the house to the main gate with his long legs but he really didn’t want to have the staff informing his grandfather that he was leaving with a suitcase.
When he reached out the gate he saw the car, James was sitting behind the car wheel while Michael was sitting in the passenger seat. Lee walked towards the car, he hit the trunk to indicate for James to open the trunk, after placing his suitcase in the trunk he then got in the back seat.
It was still early and there was still a slight mist that could be seen but that didn’t affect the werewolf that was sitting behind the wheels. “Have the emails been sent out?” Lee asked.
“Just for this week so far, I am presently in the process of sending out the ones for next week,” Michael said while he was busy typing away on the laptop that was on his lap.
“Get it done before we arrive at the airport,” Lee said.
“Will do sir, will do,” Michael answered still looking at the laptop screen and typing.
“James, I want you to have the villa on the mountain ready by the next two weeks. Get a human girl to come and clean out the place. It would also be good if she do some cooking as well,” Lee said.
“Boss, we can get the girl who has been working for you for the past two years,” James said.
“That is fine, just make sure that she is not one of those nosey type girls,” Lee said.
“Anything else?”
“Make sure no one is able to track us down, keep your antennas up at all times. Also, make sure that there are proper protection measures at the villa. Wouldn’t want our guest to be in harm’s way,” Lee said.
“The guest room needs to be prepared?”
“Yes, preferable for a teenage girl, also make sure that her safety would be the top priority. Accordingly, we may have to prepare clothing, clean bedding and I would have to inform you if there is anything else needed.”
“Yes boss, I would keep my phone on at all times. I will also make sure that the transmission is working two hundred percent perfect and no other message than mine to you or Michael and vise vicar.”
“Good, if there is time before we arriving at the airport then stop for us to get a cup of tea and probably something to eat.”
“Yes sir,” James answered.
When they arrived at the airport it was seven, since Michael had bought the tickets online he needed to present their passports to the receptionist to get their tickets. Their luggage needed to be checked in and tagged as the decision was made suddenly and the proper arrangements were not put in place. James helped them offload their things from the car, he was planning to park the car in the parking lot and then see if he could still get a meal and a drink for his boss at the airport. However, Lee stopped him and said, “Get the things on your way back home. I know we had rushed you this morning and you didn’t get a proper breakfast, but you should know as one of my employees, you need to also take care of yourself.” Lee could see the hesitation on James' face and he could tell that the man wanted to object, but he beat it and said, “No need to help us, just make sure everything is ready before my return in two weeks and that the place is secure enough. Also, make su
“No need to do that, this is Mr. Ford and I am his assistant,” Michael said. “Oh, then I am safe. I should get your things in the car then. You guys probably want to use the washroom and get something to eat before we head out,” Davis said while taking their things and putting them in the trunk of the SUV. “Why is that?” Michael asked. “Well, it is now half four,” he said as he looked at the time on his watch. “It is peak time, fortunately, it is Sunday so there not supposed to be much traffic on the highway. It may take us approximately four to five hours for the most to arrive there.” “Fair enough, which side is the washroom and the canteen?” Michael asked. “I have never been inside the airport before, but there are signs around,” Davis said. “Anyway, I should move the car from here before the security returns.” Lee and Michael looked at each other, their luggage was already inside the vehicle. Even though their suitcases were locked
“KFC safe,” Lee said. “Cool, I was thinking about a Sub, but Subway is a little distance off, I would also choose KFC. What about you Mr. Bernard?” “Same here,” Michael said. “Anything in particular?” “The Zinger sandwich with the drink and fries for the boss, same for me but with biscuits instead of fries,” Michael said. Davis left them and walked towards the KFC outlet, he stood in line while Michael and Lee took a seat just around where KFC was. They sat down on a table that had just been cleaned and had four chairs, they would notice from time to time girls would keep looking in their direction and were laughing or giggling. Davis returned ten minutes later with a tray that had three drinks, a large box, and three smaller ones. “I bought some extra sandwiches for you guys. It’s for the morning,” Davis said while placing the drinks in front of each of them, then placing a small box. “Thanks,” Michael said, he could clearly s
“He seems okay and would be a good assistant,” Michael said walking towards the door and locking it. “Men would do anything for money, loyalty is what’s important,” Lee said, before pulling his suitcase to the master bedroom. “Boss we forget to ask him about the orphanage,” Michael said before entering the guest room on the opposite side of the living room area. “Didn’t we already find it?” Lee asked. “You mean the house we stopped in front of is the orphanage? How do you know that?” “Don’t ask any questions, just get some rest,” Lee said and then locked his room door. Lee head to the shower and take a cold bath, he found that this country was too humid for his liking, a good thing he brought a lot of cotton t-shirt and jeans pants, or else he would feel suffocated in only wearing suits the whole day. By the time he got on the bed, it was midnight in Trinidad but he couldn’t sleep as his body clock would wake him at five in the
“No matron, you know she is always lagging behind so that she wouldn’t have to do the chores,” the girl who was trying to chat up Lee said. “Lying is a sin,” everyone heard that fine voice. “I wasn’t lying. If you weren’t always invisible to everyone then people would see you. Don’t you get it, invisible that no one sees you,” the girl said. “Anna gets inside now, don’t forget you have to help out with the dinner. Girls inside now, don’t forget you have exams going on now and you want to get scholarships for a good university,” the matron said. After the four girls entered the house Lee asked Michael, “You heard her right? You saw her too right?” “Yes, well after she spoke. It was like she was invisible,” Michael said. “Boss you saw her last night?” “Yes, she was the one that put out the garbage, she was also the one looking at us from the window. She was also the one I wanted to shake hands with and she is also my mate,” Lee said look
“Why do you need to go and study? It’s not like you are going exams like the others,” the matron said. “Yes matron, I do have an exam tomorrow.” “What exams are you doing?” “CAPE ma’am. I am doing A’ levels.” “Anna you could go ahead and study for your exams,” the matron said. “Yes ma’am,” Anna said and they saw her walk up the stairs. Lee was looking at her every move and even saw when she turned back to look at him and wave before the wall blocked her. “Matron we would return tomorrow to negotiate more about this. We have somewhere else to be at the moment,” Michael said before opening the door and Lee was the first to walk out before Michael also exited. “Call Davis and ask him to take us to the supermarket,” Lee said. “Yes sir,” Michael said and then he made the call while they were strolling back to the beach house. Davis had just pulled out of their garage when Lee and Michael arrived at the beach house en
“I did say that we would be visiting again today,” Michael said. “Yes, you did. How can I be of assistance to you gentlemen?” the matron asked. “How about we help you with these bags inside first and then we can sit somewhere more confidential and talk,” Lee said, before the matron could reject their help Lee had already taken the bags that she had placed on the ground after getting out of the taxi. “Thank you,” the matron said since her hands were now empty and the two men had already walked towards the door and were waiting for her to open the door for them. Annabel opened the door and led them to the kitchen, “You can place them there, one of the caretakers would pack them away a little later,” she said. She watched the two men place the bags on the counter, “Come this way,” she then said as she showed them to her office. “Gentlemen take a seat,” she said while pointing to the two chairs that were across from her. Lee and Michael looked aro
When he came out he saw Anna hiding to the siding of the step. He just took a glimpse at her before walking away like he didn’t see anything. “What is it?” Michael asked when he looked in the same direction. “It’s nothing, I thought I saw something but I didn’t,” Lee said. Anna watched them walk away, she was about to come out from by the stairs when she heard the matron talking, she slowly walked towards the office door and listened. “About the girl, did you already make the arrangement…Someone came yesterday and today asking for her…I told them that there is already someone that wants her…The young man keeps insisting that he wants her…I tried to get him one of the other girls…Yes, I agree with you that Cindy would be the best candidate but the man only wants Anna…I tried, I even told him to leave…I don’t think this one would be as easy as the rest, this is already the second day he came…How do you expect me to do that?... I understand that after all Anna i
