Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 77

Cecilia

My smile froze on my face as my scalp prickled with dread.

Complete and utter despair washed over me.

I was doomed.

His reaction, plus those dark circles under his eyes from lack of sleep, told me everything I needed to know… He. Had. Seen. My. Message!

I couldn’t meet his gaze, dropping my eyes as I cleared my throat awkwardly. “.. slept okay. Mostly because I had some wine last night.”

” was really out of it-seeing double, you know? Haha.” The laugh sounded hollow even to my ears.

Alpha Sebastian’s expression turned cold.

The smile vanished completely.

A peculiar light gleamed in his eyes as he spoke. “Alcohol isn’t an excuse.”

“Really,” I insisted, desperately searching for the right words.

“When I drink, my vision gets terrible and my fingers completely lose control, like they’re… like they’re…” I fumbled for an appropriate comparison. “Like they’re possessed!”

Alpha Sebastian let cut a derisive snort. “Keep making excuses.”

1 fell silent, mortified.

My expression turned earnest as I tried again, practically bearing my soul, It really was just a slip of the finger!”

Even half-asleep, I would never have deliberately called him “baby.” There was only one explanation-my brain and fingers weren’t coordinating properly.

Alpha Sebastian seemed tired of my excuses. “Enough. If you’re brave enough for a finger slip now, next time it’ll be a tongue slip. Own up to your actions, Cecilia.” His stare accused me of being some sort of shameless woman who wouldn’t take responsibility after getting what she wanted.

I nearly had a cardiac arrest right there.

Wait… did he actually think I’d done it on purpose?

Did he seriously believe I had the guts to flirt with him like that?

Was he questioning my will to live?

Both Beta Sawyer and Liam looked utterly confused.

They couldn’t make sense of our conversation at all.

Alpha Sebastian wiped his mouth with a napkin. “Cecilia, you didn’t come up here just to say good morning and explain your… finger slip, did you?”

As he spoke, he placed his hand near his phone, long fingers tapping lightly on the table.

The rhythmic tapping made my heart race erratically.

Did he know I was here to destroy the evidence?

I set down the strawberry mousse cake I’d been nervously clutching.

“This cake is delicious. I’m here to bring you guys a cake.! don’t have anything else to discuss. Goodbye.”

I turned to leave immediately.

“Where do you think you’re going?” Alpha Sebastian called after me. “Since youre already here, come back.”

I froze mid-step.

Turning around, I reluctantly walked back.

Alpha Sebastian asked Liam to open the cake box and bring it over.

He took a small bite, then pulled out his phone and started taking photos.

After a moment, he clicked his tongue. “Cecilia, come help me take some pictures.” Beta Sawyer and Liam looked even more confused now.

I sensed he was up to something.

I could practically smell the devious intentions radiating from the alpha capitalist’s core.

The moment I took his phone, divine inspiration struck-wasn’t this the perfect opportunity to destroy the evidence?

Once there was no proof, I could deny ever sending that message until my dying breath.

I quickly opened his WhatsApp.

A soft, deceptively gentle voice that made my skin crawl came from beside me, “Be careful, Cecilia. Don’t accidentally delete anything with another slip of your fingers.”

I stiffened. “…Yes, of course.”

I obediently agreed, then proceeded to delete the message without batting an eye.

One finger slip or two finger slips-what’s the difference?

They’re all finger slips.

After deleting that horrifying chat history, I felt somewhat calmer.

I took a few random photos and handed the phone back. “All done.”

Alpha Sebastian took it back.

Suddenly Beta Sawyer looked like he’d just seen a ghost.

I wondered why Beta Sawyer looked like death warmed over.

“What’s wrong?” I asked

Beta Sawyer covered his face with one hand, as if unable to bear the sight, and extended his phone toward me. “See for yourself.”

When I saw it, I was rendered speechless.

Alpha Sebastian had posted a grid of nine strawberry cake photos without any caption, but he’d added an emoji… a little yellow face with closed eyes and a shy smile…

Normally, it was perfectly ordinary emoji, but coming from Alpha Sebastian… it was completely incongruous!

What on earth was he being shy about??

Alpha Sebastian stood up. “Let’s go to the office.”

He walked out.

Beta Sawyer and I followed.

In the elevator, I stood behind Alpha Sebastian, staring at his back.

1 realized my understanding of my new boss was too rigid, shallow, and limited. When he wasn’t being cold and aloof…. he could be quite the comedian.

And he had absolutely no regard for other people’s sanity.
