CHAPTER TEN

The glass of wine  is what kept me company at my birthday party as I didn't really feel so happy. Not after what Olivia did to me. I thought buying a new house in another region for my 25th birthday party will make me happy. Well it didn't.

But all I felt inside was emptiness. And the only thing that will get me to smile is if I see Genevieve one more time. My eyes searched round the party, hoping by chance to see her pop up. "Happy birthday, boss…hope you are enjoying your party?" Bart and Akira ask me, eager to hear my response. " well…not really. You know I'm not a party type. I just want to relax with my friends." I say to Bart and Akira. 

I  glanced at my baby sister, resting her shoulders on my chest as we both moved our feet to the music that was playing.It was a cool jazz music. My feet were hurting and I was tired of dancing. "Boss.. Happy birthday! Here is a little something from me." Akira say to me giving me an envelope." Don't forget my own present to you boss." Bart say to me, handing over a parcel to me. " Ethan! I am tired." Carly say to me as she walks back to her seat to sit down. 

A lot of guest were at my birthday party. Even though I wasn't so happy, I happen to smile. " Time to take your seat .. boss." Bart and Akira echoed together. "What were these people up to?" I say to myself. Whenever Bart and Akira wanted to surprise me, they always seem to say a word in unison or complete each other's sentences. "Okay! It better be worth the surprise." I say to Akira, teasing her.

As I sat down on the birthday couch, provided for me at my birthday party, waiting for their surprise, I noticed something. A man kept staring at me from the opposite direction, where I was seated. His stare wasn't killing though. Rather it looked like he was trying to tell me something. Even though he never signaled to me. " I need to go to the bathroom, I will be back shortly." I whispered into Carly's ear, as she sat close to me. "Okay! Brother, be back in a hurry… Remember it's your birthday we are celebrating." Carly say to me, winking at me again. Focusing back on the music and games that was taking place at the party.

"Okay!" I  replied to her. I got up to go to the bathroom, even though I wasn't feeling like using the bathroom. I just wanted to breathe fresh air, before heading back inside to continue the whole birthday drama. I still noticed the same guy who was staring at me, now stood up to follow me from behind. I felt pressured this time around. Was my past hunting me back or was there a plot to kill me. Anyways I wasn't scared of him because I knew I was a werewolf , an Alpha and wouldn't spare anyone that dares to attack me. Infact their whole career will be over, because the press will carry the news of them trying to kill a popular billionaire bachelor and with my status and all I can make them miserable round the country making sure they don't get employed ever again and their career will be over." Son of a bitch!" I say to myself. Waiting patiently in the bathroom for the stalker. I waited for like a minute, after washing my face in the bathroom. Yet I didn't see the man. " Maybe I was just overthinking it." I say to myself. Walking out majestically and then I hear a familiar voice "  I'm so sorry if my staff  startled you." A ladies voice say to me. "Genevieve! " I voiced out, after turning to face her direction to truly confirm that it was her voice I actually heard. "You look like you have seen a ghost, it's me Genevieve the CEO of Gen'sGen airport." Genevieve says to me, smiling from ear to ear. How can she be the CEO of an airport, when she initially was working for me as my personal assistant. Everything didn't seem okay to me . " Hey.. Ethan … Hope everything is okay?" Genevieve ask me. She saw the puzzled look on my face. " You remind me if someone I know. And she looks exactly like you." I say to Genevieve. Sizing her from head to toe." Exactly, like you. Only difference is that she was my personal assistant." I say to her.

I watched her stare and smile at me as I talked to her and her assistant, who was the one staring at me at the party. "What do you want to tell me?" I ask Genevieve, pretending like I wasn't excited she came to attend my birthday party. I felt drawn to her. Like I finally found the missing puzzle in my life. Even though I wish it was my personal assistant that I was talking to and not just a different Genevieve, I still find myself wanting her nearer and nearer to me.  "Hope you got my note?" Genevieve ask me, her two hands folded on eachother, resting on her chest. "Oh! You were the one that sent the birthday note to me this morning?' I ask Olivia." Yes! I gave it to one of the chaperones to give to you." Genevieve replied to my question. "Anyways.. before I delay you any further, have this." Genevieve say to me, handing me a brown shiny bag, with a wrapped gift inside the bag. " Wow! Thank you so much ." I say to Genevieve, smiling at her.  I genuinely felt happiness when she handed the present to me . It made me feel loved. And more feelings for Genevieve began to grow. " I need to get back to my party, Carly and my senior staff have a surprise for me, I don't want to miss it." I say to Genevieve. "Okay!  I should be leaving too." Genevieve says to me. " Wait..what..why are you leaving?" I ask her confused on why she would leave so soon,vwhen my party wasn't over. " Well, I need to take care of something's." She replies to me. " No..wait, you can't just go like that. Have a drink with me." I say to her, not wanting her to leave. " I'm not accepting no for an answer." I say to Genevieve again. " Okay! I'll stay and have just one glass with you."  Genevieve say to me.  I was very happy, seems as if my birthday party was beginning to become interesting. Genevieve on the other hand walked out of the convenience with her staff, while I follow both of them from behind.  I couldn't wait to see the look on Olivia's face when she sees me with Genevieve. She never liked my assistant and didn't also embrace the fact that there was a look alike of Genevieve in Africa. I could hear her signal to her assistant to leave, while she joins him later. " Yes ma! " Genevieve's assistant left us alone.
