WEREWOLF UNEXPECTED LOVE

Kan smiled faintly as he pulled the leaf from his pocket. Closing his eyes, he held it tightly. Suddenly, heat seared his palm. His eyes snapped open-the leaf was burning.

"Oh, Moon Goddess... please, don't do this to me," he muttered desperately.

But the flame consumed the leaf, leaving nothing but ash that slipped through his fingers.

"Mr. Kan, please wait!" Cherry's voice called. She ran toward him, panting, her cheeks flushed. "Sorry about earlier, Mr. Kan... but you are qualified for the job."

Kan scoffed, his jaw tightening. "Seriously? The Moon Goddess must be joking with me."

"Mr. Kan, aren't you happy? Please, don't reject this offer. If you want, I can even talk to my boss about doubling your payment."

He studied her for a moment, then shrugged. "Fine. I'll stay. But only because of you, Miss Beautiful." With a mischievous grin, he pinched her cheek.

Cherry's face turned scarlet, red like ripe tomatoes.

The Next Day

Melissa

It annoyed me to no end that I had allowed that man to work for me. All the maids behaved as if he had cast a spell on them. Worse, he could read my thoughts, while I couldn't read his. Is he also a special being like me? I kept asking myself.

I couldn't even rest properly the night before because he kept responding to my thoughts in real time. It was infuriating.

"Ma'am, are you alright?" Cherry tapped my shoulder gently.

I gave a small nod. "Yeah, I'm fine."

"Breakfast is ready," she said with a smile.

"Okay."

We went downstairs. A maid entered carrying a tray of food and juices. She carefully set the plates on the table, then poured juice for Cherry and me. When she turned to Kan, however, she deliberately spilled the juice onto his shirt.

"Oh! Sorry, sir. It was a mistake," she said coyly.

"It's fine," Kan replied with a smile.

The maid quickly reached for a napkin and began wiping his shirt, her movements slow, her blouse conveniently low. She made sure he had a clear view of her cleavage.

Wow... he has such nice abs and a soft body, she thought to herself.

Kan's lips curved upward-he had already read her mind.

My blood boiled. Hearing her thoughts made me furious, but what angered me more was the way Kan seemed to be enjoying her little act.

I snatched the pen and paper beside me and scribbled quickly. When the maid finished dabbing at his shirt, I handed her the note.

Her face drained as she read it. She fell to her knees. "Ma'am, please don't fire me! I didn't mean it-I swear! Please, Ma'am, I don't want to lose my job."

"You should have thought about that before trying to flirt in front of me," I wrote coldly, refusing to look at her.

I continued eating my food as though she didn't exist.

Moments later, two security guards entered. Without hesitation, they escorted her out of the mansion.
