I can take it away from you in a heartbeat.
Walters face paled as he attempted to get Gavins grip to loosen around his neck.
Alpha please, I said quickly, not wanting to see Walter get hurt any further.
He hasnt done anything wrong.
Theres no need to act like this.
Unde Walter tried to say in a raspy tone ; his face turning red from the lack of oxygen.
Stay away from her and any of my other employees.
They are not your playthings, Walter.
Gevin finally released his nephew, making him fall to the ground and cough.
I was about to run to him, but Irene grabbed my arm.
When I looked at her, she gave me a slight headshake.
I knew she was right ; if I went to help Walter, it would only make Gavin angrier.
And telling from the look on Ethans face, it would make him mad too.
Though, maybe it would be good thing if he lost his cool because then Irene could see his true colors.swallowed and took a deep breath as I turned back to look at Walter who was rubbing his aching throat and looking pissed.
Even Walter knew better than to pass off the Alpha though, so he remained quiet as he rubbed his neck and pulled himself to his feet.
Tutoring is over for the day, Gavin barked.
Ill have my driver take you home.
Without another word, he turned, and stormed away, leaving us staring after him with shocked expressions What the hell was that about? Walter rasped out once Gavin was inside the villa.
Hes protective of his employees, I said, staring at the ground, feeling the heat rushing to my cheeks.
I dont think thats it, Irene said under her breath.
I looked at her, confused.
What? I asked.
She shrugged.
Hes not like that with all his employees, she told me.
Only with you.
Ive never seen him act like that towards the other staff, Matt agreed.
Irene smiled at him ; they both exchanged knowing looks which irked me a little.
Come on, Matt.
Lets go inside, She said, putting an arm around him.
She held out her hand for Ethan to take the other one, but he was still brewing in his place.
His eyes.never left mine ; I knew Irene could finally see that Ethan wasnt okay and that he was staring at me.
Ethan? She asked, worry clear in her tone as she looked between the two of us.
Is everything okay? He pressed his lips together, his eyes still remained on mine.
Ethan? She asked again when he didnt respond the first time.
I cleared my throat loudly, snapping him out of his trance.
I think your fianc? is waiting for you, I told him, loudly.
He blinked a few times as if he was just remembering where he was.
His eyes snapped to Irene who had a crease between her brows and was looking at him suspiciously.
Sorry, what were you saying, Darling? Her frown deepened.
Im going inside with Matt, she snapped, her eyes dark with anger.
She turned away and started to walk inside with Matt beside her.
Ethans face paled when he realized his mistake.
I think you should go after her, lover boy, I said, folding my arms across my chest.
He didnt humor me with a response, but he quickly ran after her, attempting to explain himself.
I shook my head at their retreating backs.
Why do I get the feeling theres history between the two of you? Walter asked, turning my attention to him.
If Gavin saw us talking alone together, he would be furious.
I honestly thought Walter went back inside while Ethan and I were having that stare down.
I was surprised and maybe even a little startled to see that he was still here with me.
Even though I just met him, there was a part of me that trusted Walter.
But I didnt think I should tell him the truth about Ethan and me because Im not sure how close he was to Irene.
Telling from what I saw in the parlor earlier, with the two of them laughing and hugging, I would say they are very close.
Theres not, I lied.
Hes just Irenes fianc? .
I never really talk to him.
He cocked his head to the side as if he was trying to read my thoughts and then he nodded, not asking further questions about Ethan and me.
Im sorry if I made things weird between you and your boss, he told me, kicking the dirt on the ground like he was a small child who just got scolded.
He can be intense.
Thats an understatement, I teased.
You dont need to apologize, Walter.
You didnt do anything wrong He shrugged and then lifted his gaze to meet mine.
I hope he didnt scare you away from me though, he said softly.
I raised my brows at him ; not sure what he meant.
Wasnt it you that he threatened? I asked.
