Cecilia
I tensed at his words.
Did want to return to Denver first?
His tone suggested he’d seen through my thoughts and was-displeased.
But I had only considered the possibility briefly-why was he being so harsh?
“Very well, if you’ve given permission, I’ll head back then,” I replied, my voice deliberately calm and measured.
What was behind his displeasure and harshness? Nothing but my insensitivity from this morning and just now.
It seemed my days as his secretary were numbered… because I couldn’t bring myself to play along with his moods.
After I responded, Alpha Sebastian said nothing more.
The atmosphere in the car grew even heavier than before.
Our driver glanced nervously between us, clearly wondering why the tension kept escalating.
We continued driving without further conversation.
Alpha Sebastian never clarified his intentions, and I didn’t ask. An hour later, we arrived at a private club.
We both got out of the car. I walked straight to the trunk and retrieved my luggage.
“Enjoy your time with your friend, Alpha Sebastian. I’ll head back to Denver now,” I said pleasantly, extending the handle of my suitcase.
Alpha Sebastian placed his hand firmly on my luggage, his intense gaze settling on me for a long moment before he spoke in a low, husky voice. “This is my emotional problem.” I smiled faintly. “With your status and position, you’re entitled to unleash your temper on the whole world.”
Alpha Sebastian seemed struck by my gentle barb.
After another lengthy silence, he said, “Then I’ll make sure you’re not part of that world.” I stood frozen, feeling like a small stone had dropped into the still pond of my thoughts.
This… wasn’t right…
Alpha Sebastian returned my luggage to the car and walked toward the club entrance.
I had no choice but to follow.
When he saw us entering, he put out his cigarette and went back inside.
Alpha Sebastian and I walked in.
The manager respectfully escorted us to the elevator. “Mr. Cassian Locke is waiting for you on the fifth floor.”
“Mm.” Alpha Sebastian acknowledged and stepped into the elevator.
I followed, positioning myself slightly behind and to his left.
We quickly reached the fifth floor.
Alpha Sebastian walked directly toward the central private room.
As we approached, I spoke up. “Alpha Sebastian, I’Ll wait outside.”
Alpha Sebastian turned back. “There’s plenty of space inside.” His meaning was clear: follow me in.
“….Very well,” I conceded,
Alpha Sebastian pushed open the door.
Upon entering, I immediately saw an extremely handsome man sitting at a large round table in the spacious room.
His chest muscles were… impressive. He’d clearly put in the work.
Suddenly, my vision went dark.
A large hand covered my eyes while simultaneously turning my head and body away.
‘Stop staring at the malnourished specimen. Go wait over there,” Alpha Sebastian murmured, giving my waist a gentle push.
I felt utterly mortified
I’d seen him the moment we walked in-it wasn’t like I’d been deliberately looking.
After making sure I was seated with my back to them, Alpha Sebastian approached Cassian. “Button up your shirt.”
“I’m hot,” Cassian replied. “Aren’t you? With your suit, dress shirt, and tie, all buttoned up so properly. Why don’t you take them off? Be comfortable like me.”
“Why not skin yourself completely? That would be even cooler.”
“So violent? Did your love for me die so quickly?”
I sat frozen on the couch, listening with growing confusion.
Wait… what was that?
Were they flirting?
