Joel looked devastated, and some of the other employees who were passing by looked uncomfortable. They knew how harsh Alisha could be, but they also knew that Joel was a hard-working man who was always willing to help anyone.
Dwayne tried one more time, "Alisha, please. He's apologized, and he's clearly sorry. Let's just go home and forget about this."
Alisha took a deep breath and tried to calm down. "Fine," she said, "but he's on thin ice. One more mistake, and he's out of here."
As they walked away, Dwayne put his arm around Alisha and whispered, "You need to learn to let things go, babe. It's not good for you to hold onto anger like that."
The next day, one of the employees accidentally spilled some shampoo samples on the floor in the lobby area. She quickly called Joel to come and help her clean it up before anyone slipped. Joel arrived promptly and began to clean the mess, but just as he was finishing up, Alisha entered the lobby and stepped on the still-wet spot, causing her to slip and fall hard on the ground.
"Ouch! What the hell is going on here? Can't anyone keep this damn place clean?" Alisha exclaimed, visibly angry and in pain.
Joel rushed over to help Alisha up and apologized profusely, explaining that he had just finished cleaning up the spill when she walked in. However, Alisha wasn't having any of it. She was in too much pain and too angry to listen to Joel's excuses.
"I don't want to hear it, Joel! You're always making a mess of things around here! You're lucky I haven't fired you yet!" Alisha shouted, wincing in pain as she struggled to get up.
Dwayne, who happened to be passing by the lobby at that moment, saw what was happening and rushed over to help Alisha up. He tried to calm her down and get her to see reason, but she was too upset to listen. Eventually, she was able to stand up with Dwayne's help, but she was visibly shaken and in a lot of pain.
"Let's go to the hospital, Alisha. You could have seriously hurt yourself," Dwayne said, trying to lead her towards the door.
"I don't need a damn hospital! I just need people around here to do their damn jobs!" Alisha snapped back, pushing Dwayne away.
As soon as Alisha kicked Joel, he got angry and started cursing her. "You will regret this, Alisha! When the red moon comes, you will see what it is!" he said while clenching his teeth. And before anyone could do anything, Joel suddenly lunged towards Alisha and bit her arm roughly.
Alisha let out a blood-curdling scream as she felt Joel's teeth sink into her skin. Dwayne and the guards quickly pulled Joel away from her, while Alisha was left shaking and gasping for air. "Get him out of here!" Alisha shouted, pointing towards Joel.
The guards escorted Joel out of the building, but Alisha was still shaking with rage. "How dare he do that to me!" she screamed, holding her bitten arm. "He's going to pay for this!"
Dwayne tried to calm her down, but Alisha was inconsolable. "I can't believe this is happening to me!" she said, tears streaming down her face. "I'm the CEO of this company! I shouldn't have to deal with this kind of thing!"
The guards called for an ambulance and Alisha was taken to the hospital to get her wound treated. Meanwhile, the office was in chaos. Everyone was talking about what had happened, and rumors were spreading like wildfire.
The incident with Joel had left a mark on Alisha's reputation, and it was clear that things would never be the same again.
Joel entered his home in the forest, his son Jake immediately ran to greet him. "Dad, what happened to you? You're hurt," Jake asked in a worried tone.
Joel sighed and sat down heavily on a chair. "I got into a fight with Alisha, the CEO of Johnson hotel. She humiliated me in front of everyone and kicked me," Joel said, wincing in pain as he touched his wounded arm.
Jake's eyes widened in anger. "How dare she hurt you, Dad! You are the alpha king! We can't let her get away with this!" Jake exclaimed.
Joel shook his head. "I don't want to cause any trouble, son. I just want to live a normal life," he said, looking at Jake.
"But Dad, you can't let her get away with this. She needs to be punished," Jake argued.
Joel sighed again. "I already cursed her, son. She will turn into a werewolf during the red moon," he explained.
Jake's eyes widened in shock. "What? You cursed her? Dad, that's awesome!" he exclaimed.
Joel gave him a stern look. "No, it's not awesome, Jake. It's a curse. And it's not something to be proud of," he scolded.
Jake looked down, feeling ashamed. "I'm sorry, Dad. I just want to protect you," he said.
Joel put his hand on Jake's shoulder. "I know, son. But we can't let revenge consume us. We need to live our lives peacefully," he said.
Jake nodded, but his eyes still burned with anger. "Okay, Dad. But can we at least watch Alisha and see her become a werewolf?" he asked.
Joel thought for a moment before nodding. "Fine, but we'll do it from a distance. We won't get too close to her," he warned.
Jake grinned. "Got it, Dad. Let's make a plan," he said, feeling excited.
Joel smiled slightly. "Okay, but first, let's take care of my wounds," he said, wincing again as he touched his arm.
***
Jake was determined to take the job and get close to Alisha to watch her behavior during the full moon. He applied for the position and went for the interview. Jenna, the HR manager, was impressed with his qualifications and immediately hired him.
Jenna warned him to be very efficient because Alisha was known to be very strict with her work. "You're going to have to keep up with her pace. Alisha is a workaholic and expects nothing but the best from her employees," Jenna said.
