Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 84

Cecilia

I puiled out my phone and added Marcus to my contacts.

I couldn’t help but smile politely as we exchanged information.

There’s something about my smile that tends to disarm people.

My looks might be striking – even intimidating to some – but my demeanor softens the impact, making me seem more approachable than I actually am.

It’s quite deceptive.

Only those who truly know me understand the ice that lies beneath.

“Your profile picture is just as beautiful as you are in person,” Marcus gushed, completely forgetting Alpha Sebastian was still standing right there.

His eyes were fixed on me with undisguised admiration.

“Thank you,” I replied graciously, accepting the compliment without making a big deal of

. Marcus seemed eager to continue our conversation when a bone-chilling voice cut through the air, “Manager Marcus Reid, you seem to have an abundance of free time on your hands.”

I saw Marcus visibly flinch.

Only a fool would miss the displeasure in Alpha Sebastian’s tone.

He hastily pocketed his phone and stammered, “I should get back to work.”

The poor man practically sprinted away, moving faster than an Olympic speed walker.

I slipped my phone back into my pocket, noticing Alpha Sebastian’s darkened expression.

Clearly, Remy’s antics had put him in a foul mood, and Marcus had just walked into the Line of fire.

“Alpha Sebastian, I’ll take our luggage upstairs,” I offered, reaching for both suitcases and heading toward the staircase.

After a few steps, the distinctive scent of sandalwood mixed with morning dew swept over me. Simultaneously, the weight in my hand diminished.

I turned to find Alpha Sebastian beside me, my suitcase now in his grasp.

I was genuinely shocked.

An Alpha carrying luggage for his human secretary was about as bizarre as an Alpha chauffeuring his employees around

It completely inverted the natural order.

Alpha Sebastian seemed to read my thoughts.

With a cool, detached tone, he remarked, “I believe I mentioned that! don’t enjoy abusing my employees.”

With that, he carried the suitcases up the stairs.

I stared after him, puzzled. Carrying luggage counts as abuse now? Is this level of consideration normal for an Alpha toward a human employee?

Though I found it strange, I didn’t dwell on it and followed him upstairs.

The second floor had a master bedroom, two guest bedrooms, and a study.

The master was naturally for Alpha Sebastian.

I chose one of the guest rooms, dropped my suitcase inside, then went to the master bedroom to unpack Alpha Sebastian’s clothes.

Over the past few days, I’d memorized all the preferences Beta Sawyer had sent me – everything from Alpha Sebastian’s favorite foods and beverages to his clothing preferences.

It gave me the bizarre impression that Beta Sawyer was essentially acting like Alpha Sebastian’s not-yet-official mate, preparing his future Luna for her duties.

“Cecilia, do you have some personal vendetta against my clothing?”

The cool voice floated from beside me.

Only then did I realize I’d been lost in thought while handling his clothes, and had somehow wandered down a mental rabbit hole.:

In my agitation, I’d gripped his shirt too tightly, wrinkling the fabric.

When had he entered the room? His observation skills were unnervingly sharp.

Sorry, I’ll iron it for you,” I said, releasing his shirt and smoothing it out with my hands.

“Thinking about something unpleasant?” Alpha Sebastian asked conversationally as he removed his jacket and handed it to me.

“-it’s nothing important,” I said, quickly taking his jacket and holding his shirt over my arm.

I grabbed a hanger and put the jacket in the closet, trying to look calm.

My body said, “Please don’t ask,” loud and clear.

•But Alpha Sebastian didn’t move.

He was still standing there, watching me.

Trying to act normal, I turned to face him.

And then my mouth betrayed me.
