Chapter 49

• Ariana's POV
• I whirled around to see Dylan standing right behind me, why hadn't I felt his presence, perhaps I was too occupied with my thoughts, he took two strides towards me and stared at me, "what won't you tell me?" I looked at Ms. Bennie, who was shaking her head, eyes wide with fear, damn, what was I supposed to do? "Er..er...." He suddenly wrinkled his nose, "cigarette?" His gaze pinned Ms. Bennie, "was that what she wasn't supposed to tell me?" She looked from me to Dylan, realizing the kind of trouble she was in, she quickly knelt, "it was my mistake Sir, please forgive me" damn werewolves, he must have sniffed out the smell, how could I forget that nothing can be hidden from him, although, I wasn't overly fond of Ms. Bennie, I still felt empathy for her, I stared at Dylan, not uttering a word but pleading with him with my eyes to just give her another chance, he took a deep breath, his eyes portraying that he had gotten my message but was in no mood to humor me, damn, if he fires her right now, I'll once again be blamed by other staffs, I was already not getting along with them, except for Olivia, even though it wasn't my fault, they would always look for a way to put the blame on me, "you shouldn't go unpunished, should you?" Ms. Bennie shook her head, her eyes pleading for her not to be fired, "I won't fire you" hope brimmed in her eyes at Dylan's words, "thank you so much sir, I promised it won't happen again"
• "Not so fast, that I won't fire you does not mean you'll go free," she gazed at me in confusion, even I was left confused, what was he up to?
