My cheeks flushed red with anger. “Can’t you see that huge shredder sitting right there?”
“Where exactly?” Connor asked innocently.
“Right over there,” I instinctively turned my head to point. My lips accidentally brushed against Connor’s lips in the process.
I suddenly sprang up from my chair with a sharp intake of breath. “Connor Rivers!”
He had moved even closer just then, which was why my lips touched his when I turned my head. I became genuinely angry.
“Can you please stop causing trouble here? I’m very busy and don’t have time to play around with you.”
Seeing that I was truly upset, Connor restrained himself somewhat. He picked up the pile of waste paper from the desk, his tone carrying a coaxing gentleness.
“Lawyer Winters, don’t be angry. I really didn’t see it just now.”
“Liar!” My face turned bright red, and my voice rose several notes in frustration.
(Connor’s POV)
I walked over to the nearby shredder and began feeding the waste paper in a few sheets at a time. My wolf was pleased by our brief contact, even if Olivia was angry about it.
“Don’t be angry, Livvy. Let me take you to dinner tonight to apologize-to that barbecue restaurant you love.”
“I’m not going!” Olivia snapped back.
Just then, someone knocked on the door. Olivia took two deep breaths to compose herself before saying.”
Come in.”
The person who entered was Adrian Sinclair, impeccably dressed in a suit. His gold-rimmed glasses framed eyes that held an amused smile.
“When did Alpha Connor start doing tasks that assistants usually handle?” Adrian asked with apparent lightness.
Though his wolf recognized the territorial display I was making. He looked toward Olivia, joking. “Lawyer Winters, when did our law firm become so capable that we can hire the CEO of Rivers Group to do odd jobs?”
Olivia was in no mood for jokes right now. Her expression darkened slightly, her tone revealing displeasure. Some people are just too idle.”
Sensing her bad mood, Adrian’s smile faded as he asked with genuine concern. “What’s wrong? Is there something troubling you?”
Before Olivia could respond, I jumped in to answer. “She’s busy right now. You coming in here is disrupting her work-how could she be happy about that?”
Olivia stared at me speechlessly while Adrian looked slightly stunned. “Should I leave then?”
“Please do,” I waved my hand dismissively, clearly wanting to get rid of the other Alpha.
“Can you stop making trouble?” Olivia directed this comment at me.
I immediately fell silent and returned to quietly shredding paper. Adrian looked between Olivia and me, while 1 simply smiled back at him with obvious satisfaction.
Suddenly, Adrian noticed a smear of red on my lips. A streak of color extending diagonally from my lower lip toward my chin.
Adrian’s eyes darkened as he realized what he was seeing. His gaze moved up to meet my eyes, and he saw unmistakable provocation and smugness there.
Adrian lowered his eyes, his tone completely devoid of its previous warmth. “Then I’ll let Lawyer Winters get back to her work.”
With that, Adrian turned and left the office. His wolf was bristling with the knowledge that his rival had marked his territory.
My lips curved in a satisfied smile as I continued shredding paper. Every pore radiated my excellent mood: Olivia stared at me, trying to understand why Adrian’s expression suddenly changed so dramatically. Sensing her gaze, I said with a grin. “Your mouth says you don’t like it, but your body is very honest.” Olivia blushed furiously. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
“I’m saying your eyes are very honest-you can’t help but look my way,” I raised my head to meet her gaze. I smiled with an expression that was begging to be punched. “What, did you think of something else?”
“Who’s thinking of anything else? Don’t slander me!” After Olivia finished speaking, she suddenly noticed that streak of red on my lips.
In an instant, her entire body froze in place. Her lipstick had rubbed off on me! Adrian saw it!
(Olivia’s POV)
“Are you doing this on purpose?” My face flushed crimson with embarrassment as the realization hit me like a lightning bolt.
The kiss had been an accident-a mere brush of lips when I turned my head! But now Adrian Sinclair would think we had been secretly intimate in my office.
It wasn’t that I feared Adrian would feel uncomfortable. I genuinely didn’t want anyone misunderstanding my relationship with Connor Rivers, regardless of who that person might be.
My wolf bristled with the awkwardness of the situation. I knew how werewolf society viewed such displays of intimacy.
“Did you intentionally create that kiss?” I demanded, my amber eyes blazing with accusatio… ‘And then deliberately let Adrian see your lipstick mark to provoke his jealousy?”
Connor’s ice-blue eyes sparkled with mischief as he feigned innocence. “I did desire the kiss, I’ll admit that much.”
He paused, his expression becoming almost boyish. “But I didn’t plan anything regarding the lipstick mark or Adrian’s reaction.”
I remained unconvinced, my arms crossing defensively. “You’re putting on an act! I saw that satisfied glance you gave Adrian afterward.”
Connor’s lips curved into that infuriating smile that made my heart skip beats. “I couldn’t help but smile out of happiness after kissing my Luna.”
“Don’t call me Luna in the office!” I grabbed a crumpled tissue from my desk and threw it at him with exasperation.
Connor caught the tissue effortlessly, completely unfazed by my irritation. “Alright, alright. I’ll leave now.”
He straightened his suit jacket with casual elegance. “But if you need any more errands handled around the law firm, I’m always available.”
His casual dismissal of my embarrassment made my wolf want to growl in frustration. The Alpha was impossible!
(Connor’s POV)
As I exited Olivia’s office, I encountered Emma Thompson in the hallway. She greeted me politely with a respectful bow of her head.
“Alpha Connor,” she said, her voice carrying the proper deference expected when addressing a pack leader.
Emma’s sharp eyes immediately noticed the lipstick smear on my lips. She paused mid-step, her eyes widening with dawning realization.
I could practically see the wheels turning in her mind as she processed what she had just witnessed. Her excitement was barely contained beneath her professional exterior.
I simply nodded in acknowledgment and continued toward the elevator. Behind me, I could sense Emma practically vibrating with excitement over the confirmation of her suspicions.
The elevator doors opened with a soft chime. As I waited for the car to arrive, measured footsteps approached from behind.
Adrian Sinclair appeared, his body language making it clear he had something important he wanted to discuss. His usual composed demeanor carried an edge of tension.
“Your enthusiasm for performing menial tasks at the law firm is quite remarkable, Alpha Connor,” Adrian said, his tone laced with barely concealed sarcasm.
I retorted smoothly, my voice carrying confident amusement. “Olivia asking me to handle such chores must indicate we have a very close relationship.”
The elevator arrived with another soft chime. Both of us entered the confined space, and the tension between two Alphas became palpable.
Our wolves circled each other metaphorically as the elevator descended. Adrian’s jaw was set in grim lines, while I maintained my relaxed confidence.
