Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 76

Cecilia

I stood frozen in the hallway, my mind still foggy from our earlier conversation.

His apology… it was for how he’d spoken to me when I first came to his bedroom.

So the cold, demanding Alpha had suddenly developed a conscience?

But what did those last sentences mean?

I replayed his words over and over, analyzing each syllable carefully.

I’think I understood now.

The reason he’d been angry earlier was because I hadn’t entered his room immediately – he was frustrated that I, his secretary, had been so hesitant and filled my head with unnecessary concerns.

With this interpretation, his final statements made sense:

He was assuring me there would never be anything between us, and he wouldn’t allow any rumors to circulate.

A twinge of embarrassment swept through me.

Of course that’s what he meant.

“I understand,” I nodded solemnly. “You’re right. The innocent have nothing to fear. I’ll be more professional.”

Alpha Sebastian stared at me with an unreadable expression.

I’d completely misunderstood, hadn’t I?

Back in my downstairs apartment, my mood had improved considerably.

Alpha Sebastian might be difficult to please, but at least he was willing to lower his guard and clear the air.

This way, we could avoid misunderstandings.

Half-asleep later that night, I heard the soft ping of a message notification.

I rolled over, fumbling for my phone in the darkness.

Alpha Sebastian: [Cecilia, remember to come to work tomorrow.]

I was already drifting back to sleep, my eyes barely open in thin slits as my fingers clumsily typed a reply.

What I didn’t notice was how my sleepy fingers had shifted ever so slightly upward…

Transforming “Yes, boss” into “Yes, baby.”

After sending it, I carelessly swiped away the message window, tossed my phone aside, and rolled over to continue my sweet dreams.

The next morning, at 7:30 AM, Liam had already set out breakfast.

The Alpha had mentioned he’d be going to the office today.

Normally, Alpha Sebastian would be up at six for his morning run, seated at the breakfast table by seven, reviewing financial news.

He’d make calls or hold video conferences in the garden before departing precisely at

– nine for the office.

But with his injury, his schedule had been pushed back.

Eight o’clock came and went with no sign of him.

Beta Sawyer arrived, surprised to find Alpha Sebastian hadn’t emerged from his bedroom yet. “Did something happen last night? Has our Alpha finally discovered nightclubs?” he joked.

It was clearly a bad joke.

Even without his injury, Alpha Sebastian’s nightlife was as exciting as that of a monk who’d taken vows of abstinence.

Liam folded his hands in front of him, sighing with concern. “It is strange. Alpha Sebastian never sleeps in.”

Neither dared knock on his bedroom door.

At 8:30 AM, Alpha Sebastian finally emerged.

His pale, handsome face looked exhausted, as if he hadn’t slept well. Dark circles shadowed his eyes.

Beta Sawyer and Liam exchanged glances. Had he actually gone clubbing?

Alpha Sebastian ignored their questioning looks and walked to the dining room. The two men followed close behind.

As Alpha Sebastian sat down to breakfast, Beta Sawyer assumed his mood was too dark to disturb with the day’s schedule.

Liam silently served him.

To their surprise, after taking a sip of juice, Alpha Sebastian smiled. “Mm, the juice is particularly good today.”

Beta Sawyer blinked in confusion.

Liam stared.

Wasn’t juice.. always the same?

Perhaps today’s fruit had been exceptionally sweet?

Alpha Sebastian continued eating with surprisingly good appetite.

Beta Sawyer felt that reporting work matters now would only disturb this unexpected pleasant mood.

Just then, his phone rang.

Glancing at it, he muttered, “Why is Cecilia calling me so early?”

He was about to step outside to answer when a cool voice stopped him.
