Orphan to Unbreakable Queen novel Chapter 136

Chapter 136

As he spoke, he kept stealing glances at Bowen. ‘Bowen in the flesh!’ he thought excitedly. ‘Big shots from Rithol City would kill for a meeting like this, and here I am, not just meeting him, but sharing a damn table. Hell yeah, I’m gonna brag about this for life.

Alvin, who was constantly around Bowen, couldn’t fathom why his teammates were making such a big deal.
