Blood moon

Chapter 16. Fired

Hunter left that office knowing he had done the right thing, but with a bad taste in his mouth. The idea that his older brother was interested in the same woman infuriated him, having to depend now on her authority made him feel vulnerable and weak.

If only he could have had an administrative position before, things would have been different, but he had never been interested in having any kind of power within the company before, so much bureaucracy made him despair, although right now he was totally sorry, if he could turn back time, he would look for a position that would allow him to help his girl.

Chris was afraid of what would come next, because as soon as Harley entered the room the whole air changed, it was as if a suffocating air was present in the air. He was afraid that things would go further and he would really get fired. He wouldn't know how to explain that to his mother.

Harley had to do his best not to jump. His wolf was showing him how he just had to transform his hand into a claw and run it through the human's skin. He could make him scream, then he would give him a good punch in the ribs, he could fracture them and hear him beg for his life, then he would just rip him apart as if life depended on it.

He had to nail his hand to the wood of his desk, so as not to fulfill that fantasy.

—Mr. Harley, please allow me to explain— the human's voice was very irritating.

—Do it.

Harley suspected that he would not stop his words until he tried to justify the unjustifiable. He turned to look for his name in the system to find any report that had been filed against him before. He only found reports of poor performance and a warning about minor mistakes he had made, that would also be enough to fire him.

—Andrea— hearing her name on those lips, made Harley's pressure skyrocket. He wanted to pull her teeth out of his mouth one by one, so that he would never dare to name her again —She planned to humiliate me, she cheated on me with one of her friends that she sleeps with, to make me look like a coward, they even have me on tape. She has been harassing me and blackmailing me with showing the recording— the werewolf could smell the lie emanating from his body, he was very afraid of being caught, but he could notice how he tried to convince himself that he was telling the truth and the worst thing was that he would end up believing it, stupidityities.

—Do you not harass the young lady, Andrea?

—I have never done it, she is the one who is always looking for me to harass me, that's why today, what she saw was my loss of composure. I was tired of her asking me for money and following me everywhere— Harley thought.

—I understand, an internal investigation will be carried out and the decision will be communicated to you, but while that happens, we cannot allow one of our employees to behave violently within the facilities, so I must inform you of your immediate dismissal— Chris' face turned white because of the diplomatic words of his boss.

—He could not understand why something like that would happen to a man as good as him, his mother always talked about how far he would go, if he was fired now, it would only increase the problems at home.

Harley just raised an eyebrow in the direction of the human.

—Mr. Anderson, you got in through fraudulent means, using contacts with your friend to bypass the intake process the right way, you've received multiple corrections for mistakes over the years, apparently according to the system and now a charge of assault, do you think you don't deserve to be fired? — werewolf in the future leader of the pack, was waiting for the situation to get violent to jump on him.

Jump, cried the CEO's chest.

—Enter by fraudulent means? I just filled out the form, I did what they asked me to do, it's not my fault that one of my friends is in human resources, but I met the requirements needed for the position— Chris felt very scared, how could they find out about that? It happened many years ago. Someone wanted to see him very badly, they knew his little secrets in the company and now they wanted to see him ruined. That fear was transforming into anger. Who could want to see him badly? It had to be that little rat, he had to hit her when he could, surely she was the one who wanted to see him ruined, now that she couldn't have him.

—I reiterate, we will do an internal investigation, but in the meantime, I ask you to leave our facilities in a good way— Harley could feel the threat coming from that man, at least while this was being solved. He would have to watch Andrea closely, that last part he liked. No one could say he was not doing it for a good reason, he thought this pushover, finally he was good for something.

—You can't fire me sir, my mother is sick, I'm her only breadwinner.

—You should have thought of that before you assaulted one of your coworkers.

Chris cursed Andrea under his breath.

—She provoked the situation— Harley remained impassive at her words, because he knew he was dealing with a child's tantrum —What will he do to her?

The werewolf made his neck snap. He was furious at her insinuation, although he had to be cautious because he didn't want his behavior towards Andrea to be misinterpreted, which would be exactly what he intended to insinuate about what he would do with her.

—Miss Smith is so far considered the victim of an assault case, she will be questioned, we will check the security cameras and make the necessary inquiries—the human frowned.

—It won't do anything to her, then— he declared in a rage.

—We will consult the available information, but I cannot dismiss someone who is a victim, if that is what you are implying and as an aggressor it is in very bad taste for you to discuss this— Harley stood up from his chair using all his physical power to be more intimidating, —In future conversations, I advise you not to talk about your victims, just stick to defending your case.

Both men were standing now, sizing each other up with their glares. Chris felt that his boss would be capable of murdering him if he continued talking, and for all he knew under that shirt he was hiding only muscles, he regretted not being able to erase that look of self superiority he had.

—I'll come for my things tomorrow— Chris tried to buy time.

—You will take them now, the security team will accompany you to get them and we will be the ones to notify you about the check for your salary, after going through the evaluation committee we will know if we have to add any value for the years rendered, now get out of my building— that last thing was pronounced with a threatening voice.

While this was happening Andrea was in the infirmary feeling scared, she wanted to call Hunter to comfort her, she wanted support.
