Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 109

Cecilia

“Really?” I gave Alpha Sebastian a look that was somewhere between laughter and tears.

“But haven’t you heard the saying? Only the good die young. The worst people always seem to live forever.”

Alpha Sebastian glanced at me, his eyes gleaming with something couldn’t quite decipher. “Do you trust them, or do you trust me?”

“I trust you,” 1 answered without hesitation.

I wouldn’t dare say otherwise. Besides, there was something about the way he spoke that naturally commanded trust.

Alpha Sebastian slowed the car and looked at me again, the corner of his lips curving into a subtle smile. His voice softened just enough for me to notice. “Good.” Those simple words seemed to possess a magical quality. Something warm bloomed in my chest, giving me the strange sensation of being a devoted follower. Was it weird to have such faith in my boss? Probably.

Glancing out the window, I realized we were heading toward Silver Peak Pack’s headquarters. “Um, would you mind dropping me off at the corner? I can walk the rest of the way.”

What’s this?” Alpha Sebastian’s eyebrow arched elegantly. “Are you embarrassed to be seen arriving with me?”

“Wow. Use me and then ditch me. Classic.”

“…Fine! I’m sorry!”

I surrendered, and of course, the car didn’t stop at the corner but drove straight into the company’s underground parking garage.

The whole time, I was scanning our surroundings like a paranoid spy.

I realized I wasn’t just worried about gossip-l felt guilty, like I was doing something wrong.

Just as I thought we’d arrived undetected and was calmly stepping out of the passenger side, someone else exited an another car.

We turned our heads simultaneously. Our eyes met.

“..Vice President Wiley.” My smile felt as forced as if I’d just bitten into raw ginger.

Wiley was about to respond when he saw who emerged from the driver’s seat.

His expression instantly morphed into one of horror.

I mentally sighed. hope Wiley doesn’t misunderstand my relationship with Alpha Sebastian.

When we entered the elevator, Wiley smiled at me with false pleasantness. “Secretary Cecilia, do you and the Alpha Sebastian live in the same direction?”

“We live in-” I began, only to be cut off by Sebastian’s cool voice.

“Whether we live together or not, is that information you need?” His tone was flat but carried a clear warning.

Wiley’s eyes nearly popped out of his head.

My body tensed in shock.

Wait, why was my boss creating rumors himself?

“Vice President, please don’t misunderstand,” I hurried to explain. “We just happen to live in the same neighborhood, not together.”

“Ah, ah, I see,” Wiley responded, nodding mechanically.

But I could practically read his thoughts: No need to explain!

I noticed him pulling out his phone and typing a message. Daring a peek, I caught the words Alpha Yardley on the screen.

Holy shit!!

He was reporting this to Alpha Yardley!

Vice President Wiley!” I shouted near his ear, letting my irritation show.He jumped, quickly pocketing his phone as we reached his floor. He hurried out without another word.

I moved to follow him-l felt I needed to clarify things with the Vice President before rumors spiraled out of control.

As I took a step forward, Alpha Sebastian pulled me back. “Where are you going? We haven’t reached our floor yet.”

The elevator doors closed again.

“He’s texting your father!” I protested.

‘You think this is the first time?” Alpha Sebastian replied calmly.
