Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 118

Sebastian

I snapped my eyes open, a flash of cold fury racing through me.”What Miss Hazel? Who mentioned this person to you?” My voice came out sharp as winter frost.

*..Um-” Beta Sawyer’s face fell as he registered my displeasure.

I could see him scrambling for words, clearly realizing hed stepped into dangerous territory.

He stammered, searching for a way to backtrack.

I answered for him, my tone arctic. “Perhaps this came from Secretary Moore.”The woman who had wished me a pleasant weekend last night.

Sweat beaded on Beta Sawyer’s forehead.

Nothing ever escapes my notice. Further explanation would only make things worse, and he knew it.

lt’s like this, Alpha. Wednesday morning you mentioned going to Boulder on Saturday but didn’t specify why. That morning I briefed Secretary Moore about the trip, and then that afternoon at the company, she heard that Miss Hazel had posted photos of your matchmaking meeting on Instagram, saying she was looking forward to a culinary tour in Boulder on Saturday.”

And coincidentally, you were also going to Boulder on Saturday.”

“When those two facts combined, it might lead someone to think… that you were coming to Boulder for a date with Miss Hazel.”

“So… did you… actually…”

He didn’t dare finish the question.

Tang, driving, sounded exasperated. “Sawyer, are you trying to ask if the Alpha is actually here to date Miss Hazel? He’s not. The Alpha has other business, and besides, he wasn’t interested in Miss Hazel to begin with. What date would there be?” Damn it. A complete misunderstanding.

My Soren said:Hell. She was pulling away even more because of this stupid misunderstanding.We had to do something. NOW.

The frost on my face intensified, turning to glacial proportions.

I mentally retraced everything that had happened that day, and the day before, feeling my breathing constrict.

I reached up to loosen my tie, only to realize I wasn’t wearing one today.

Taking out my phone, I dialed Cecilia’s number.

After a few rings, she answered. “Alpha Sebastian?”

“Having an enjoyable weekend?” My voice was cold and sharp.

There was a pause. …lt’s quite nice, yes.”

“Is that so?” I-let out a mocking laugh. “And what exactly has made it so enjoyable?

Spreading rumors about your boss?”

Just then, a bright, cheerful mate voice came from her end: “Cecilia, do you want some watermelon? I’ll feed you.” Silence.

There was a faint rustling sound then the call ended abruptly.

She had hung up on me!

My expression turned murderous, a killing intent practically radiating from me.

Up front, Tang and Beta Sawyer had also heard the man’s voice through the phone-it had been too loud and cheerful to miss.

“Beta Sawyer…”

My voice was like the Grim Reaper calling his name.

Beta Sawyer reflexively blurted out, I don’t know anything about her new boyfriend, l swear.”

Aglared at him, my gaze sharp as surgical blades.

Five minutes later.

Under my intimidating pressure, Beta Sawyer reluctantly confessed, “I swear I didn’t know before, just… Liam came back from grocery shopping this morning and saw her leaving with a young man… Apparently… he was extremely young.”

Tang was curious. “How young? Underage?”

Beta Sawyer continued, “Not that young. Liam said he was tall and handsome-looking, probably a college student.”

Tang exclaimed, “She’s keeping a college boy!”

Beta Sawyer protested, “..t can’t be like that! With Cecilia’s looks and figure, she could have young guys falling at her feet with just a crook of her finger! Young guys love mature women like her!”

As soon as the words left his mouth, the atmosphere in the car turned as cold as a tomb.

He didn’t dare look back at me.He could feel might take out my frustration on him.

He looked pleadingly at Tang

Tang caught his meaning immediately. “Alpha, don’t blame Sawyer. It’s not like he could control Cecilia finding a younger man to warm her bed, and-” Beta Sawyer reached over and covered Tang’s mouth.

The car fell into a frozen silence.

Not a sound could be heard.
