Episode 3
When I was ready, Vincent was waiting at the front door for me. School only had a few more weeks and then it would be just us for the summer. I was planning on taking some time off before his last year of high school and his hockey season started. Life was always busy for us so I needed to slow down and enjoy the time I had left before he went off to college.
Kim Taehyung
" Yup, let's go "
My boss was standing by the front desk as soon as I stepped out of the elevator, holding my much– needed latte. I wasn’t in the mood to deal with him today. I just wanted to get to my office and finish my workload. He was chatting with the receptionist, Evelyn. My strides became more purposeful as I made my way to my office, trying to go unnoticed.
Evelyn
“Good morning, Mr. Kim”
Evelyn’s overly cheery voice rang out when I was almost in the safety of my office. I cringed before forcing a smile. I turned around to see my boss, Mr. Miller, and Evelyn, both watching me.
Kim Taehyung
“Good morning”
I told them, trying to sound chipper, even though I was anything but. I turned on my heels and headed into my office, closing the door behind me.
The relief I felt after closing my door and I was alone was short–lived when Mr. Miller, opened the door and entered my office. I silently groaned as I placed my latte on my desk before placing my purse and bag on the floor beside my chair.
Kim Taehyung
“Mr. Miller, what can I do for you?”
I asked him, as I removed my coat, placing it over the back of my chair.
Mr. Isaac Miller was a few years older than me. He took over for his father a few years ago when he decided to retire and spend his golden years traveling with his wife. He wasn’t a werewolf but his sister was mated to one, which is uncommon. It helped him build his accounting firm. He was trusted in the werewolf community because his sister was associated with the firm. And she was mated to a wolf. He also has some great forensic accountants working for him.
Issac Miller
" Taehyung, I need a favour."
He said, sitting in a chair in front of my desk. My body froze as I looked at him. Whenever I hear those words, my mind automatically goes to a date. If I had a dollar for the number of times I’ve been asked to make another jealous, I wouldn’t need to work anymore.
Kim Taehyung
“What kind of favor?”
I asked him, suspiciously, and he let out a sigh. It’s too early for this and haven’t even enjoyed my coffee, I thought as I took my seat.
Issac Miller
“Do you remember the Jeon Enterprise case, I had asked you to investigate?”
I remember that case drove me crazy for twenty–four full hours until I finally figured it out. The person who was stealing was good at hiding their tracks but I was better.
Kim Taehyung
“Yes, I remember. Did something happen?”
Issac Miller
“I need you to travel to the Jeon pack.”
Unfortunately for me, his brother–in–law scented me when I met him and his mate at a work function.
I told him firmly. I won’t go into packs. I’m a lone wolf and I don’t need that kind of drama. If I was from a lower bloodline, I would be considered a rogue but it’s not uncommon for a strong wolf to not want to submit under an -alpha. I’m one of those wolves.
Issac Miller
“Taehyung , I wouldn’t be asking if it wasn’t important. Mr. Jeon suspects more fraud is happening within his empire and has demanded I send the person who found the person the first time. You saved his enterprise almost a million dollars.”
Kim Taehyung
“You know I have Vincent. I can’t just uproot our lives. He has school and hockey.”
Issac Miller
“Isn’t school almost done for the year? And it may be nice for him to be with his own kind”
Issac Miller
You know what I mean, Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
"Yes, I know what you mean. But I have my reason for keeping me and my son away from that life.”
He sighed as he ran his hand down his face.
Issac Miller
“He is one of our wealthiest clients. I need my best on this.”
Kim Taehyung
“Flattery will get you nowhere, Isaac. This isn’t just my life. And school may be done soon but what about next year? It will be Vincent's last year, I want him to graduate with his friends.”
Issac Miller
“What if it’s just for the summer? And I’ll give you a bonus now and one at the end of the summer.” ( pleads )
Kim Taehyung
“If I do this, Isaac, Vincent, and I need our own home. I won’t stay at their pack house. I will need my own office, and weekends and all the other days I request are guaranteed off."
Will the request be accepted
