Proxy in Command (Creepypasta X Reader)

Chapter 13

I turned off my phone and placed it on my small black purse. I carried my coat and then proceeded to go downstairs with Derek following me.

"Do you think your associates will like me? I mean, I understand why you wouldn't accept just anyone in the organization."I spoke out as we went downstairs. I used my right hand to hold onto my purse that was hanging from my shoulder.

"They should like you. I think you can contribute good ideas to the team. Not to mention you're not annoying like one of the girls." He opened the door for me to leave first. We both then made our way to the elevator.

"You're talking about that girl you spoke of when we left the masquerade ball right?" I asked with my eyebrow raised as we waited for the elevator.

He chuckled. "Just a warning love, don't get jealous if she tries to flirt with me. She's been trying to make me fall in love with her for two years and it's just a pity attempt."

The doors had finally opened which gave us the chance to enter. He pressed the 24th button meaning the floor beneath us.

"Why did you press the 24th floor?" I asked.

He let out a laugh. "You ask too many questions, love. Just loosen up a bit. I can assure you the meeting will go fine especially since you joined."

I gulped but tried to stay calm. Derek couldn't have figured out my real identity right?

The doors opened and revealed a hallway. He held my hand and started walking, leading us to the door that was at the end of the hallway. He gave my hand a gentle squeeze before opening the door for me. I slowly got in and saw five people looking straight at me with fear and confusion in their eyes.

There was a long conference table with seven chairs. There were three on each side with one on the head of the table.

The chairs closest to the door were taken by 2 women. One had brown hair, blue eyes, and slightly tan skin, with a black suit while the other one had blonde hair with blue eyes and fair skin with a black dress. There had been 3 men that sat across from them. One had black curly hair, fair skin, and brown eyes. He was as wearing a green vested sweater with glasses. He seemed like the techy guy in the group especially since he was the only one with a laptop in front of him. The one that sat in the middle had dirty blonde hair with dark brown eyes. He wore black pants with a matching shirt. The one closest to the head of the table was a tall dark man. He had brown eyes with glasses, short hair, with a white shirt with black pants.

Derek stepped inside which eased the tension.

"I apologize for canceling our meeting yesterday, something important came up," Derek announced as we both walked towards the table. "This is R/N and she will be joining our association."

The brunette stood up and forced a smile. "Can I privately have a word with you, Derek?"

Derek shook his head. "Whatever you have to say, you will have to announce it in front of us. I thought I made it perfectly clear I didn't want any secrets between us."

She growled before making her way to Derek and pulled him outside the room, making sure to slam the door shut.

"I apologize for her behavior. I'm Chloe by the way. It's about time we have another female in our team!" Chloe exclaimed as she held out her hand.

"I'm R/N nice to meet you, all of you,"  I said as I shook her hand and smiled.

"That's Arthur, Carter, Hunter, and the crazy girl that left with Derek is Rachel," Chloe explained. She noticed I was still holding my coat. "Your seat is the one in front of Hunter, you know so you'll be closer to Derek." She winked.
