As soon as Derek spoke, the tenderness and pride on my face vanished. It was replaced by the cold mask of an Alpha whose territory was being encroached upon.
I handed my golf club to the waiting caddie with controlled precision. Then I began walking toward Olivia’s group with predatory purpose.
Derek called after me with growing amusement. “Connor? Where are you going?”
My response was clipped and devoid of warmth, my Alpha instincts clearly triggered. To discuss business matters.”
Derek’s confusion was evident. “Business? With whom?”
He followed my line of sight to the three figures engaged in animated conversation near the green.
Understanding dawned immediately.
Derek smiled to himself with knowing satisfaction. My legendary patience had finally reached its limit after watching two older Alphas circle around my intended mate like predators stalking prey.
The territorial jealousy was practically radiating from me in waves that even Derek’s wolf could sense.
I positioned myself directly in front of Olivia. My imposing Alpha presence cast a shadow over her smaller form in a deliberate display of protection and possession.
Olivia stood within my shadow and looked up at me with those luminous amber eyes that still made my chest tighten with longing.
Today I wore dark gray athletic attire that emphasized my powerful build. I maintained my characteristic air of aloof control despite the territorial fury burning beneath the surface.
Olivia’s expression showed puzzlement at my sudden appearance. Why was I approaching their group again? Harrison was equally bewildered by this unprecedented attention from me. He rarely encountered me in business circles, and when he did, I typically ignored such approaches entirely.
What could possibly motivate me to initiate contact twice in one day?
I maintained my relaxed posture with hands casually in my pockets. My wolf prowled restlessly beneath the surface, but my tone remained deceptively casual.
“Alpha Harrison, I recall you mentioning interest in a partnership with our Starfall Hotels division.” Starfall was one of the premier hospitality brands under Rivers Group’s extensive business empire. Hearing that I had personally initiated discussion about the coveted partnership, Harrison immediately straightened with eager deference. His previous confidence around Olivia was forgotten in the face of this business opportunity.
“Yes, absolutely, Alpha Connor! Apex Industries has been hoping to establish a partnership with Starfall for years.”
His excitement was barely contained. “I brought up the possibility at the last industry reception, but you were occupied with other matters and suggested we discuss it another time.” we’re both
Harrison raised his wrist to check his expensive timepiece. “Today presents a perfect opportun free from other obligations. It’s nearly tunch time. Allow me to book us a private dining room where we can discuss terms properly over a meal?”
My gaze swept seemingly casually over Olivia before quickly withdrawing. My wolf was satisfied with this territorial maneuver.
“Acceptable,” I responded with characteristic cool authority.
Harrison was practically vibrating with joy at securing this meeting.
Thomas Wilson, recognizing the shift in dynamics, diplomatically interjected. “Then Alpha Connor, Alpha Harrison, please proceed with your business discussion. Olivia and I should take our leave.”
He turned to Harrison. “Alpha Harrison, we’ll finalize the contract details tomorrow afternoon.”
Olivia had been silently observing my shadow on the manicured grass. She seemed lost in contemplation about my unexpected intervention.
Hearing they were departing, she refocused and prepared to leave with Thomas,
Harrison, eager to maintain his newfound business connection and demonstrate his reliability to me, replied enthusiastically. “Certainly, Director Wilson. I’ll discuss the contract with you tomorrow afternoon as planned.”
He deliberately emphasized his next words for my benefit. “Since I lost our wager to Lawyer Winters, I fully intend to honor my commitment-I’m a wolf of my word.”
Harrison knew that any potential hotel partnership would require demonstrating integrity and trustworthiness to the notoriously selective Rivers Group.
However, I appeared completely uninterested in Harrison’s character references. My attention was focused entirely on the fact that Olivia was preparing to leave my presence.
My voice remained soft and carefully neutral, betraying none of the possessive urgency my wolf was experiencing. “Since you’re all here together, perhaps you’d consider staying for a simple lunch? It seems wasteful to break up the group when we could all benefit from continued discussion.”
LUCK DRAW >
(Olivia’s POV)
Harrison booked a luxury private dining room at Moonlight Bistro. Though their party consisted of only five people, the table was large enough to seat ten.
Harrison politely pulled out a chair, bowing and gesturing for Connor Rivers to sit. “Alpha Connor, please sit
Having grown accustomed to the respect he received from other pack members, Connor naturally took his seat. However, it was the first time that I had seen an outsider treat the Alpha heir of Rivers pack in such a manner.
The man before me remained indifferent to the fawning and flattery. His brow exuded coldness and a distant aura that kept people at bay.
This made me feel estranged. I found it hard to reconcile the aloof Alpha before me with the one who would put on an apron and cook for me.
Connor took his seat, with Derek sitting to his right. Harrison then chose a seat to Connor’s left, leaving a space between them.
He knew it was not appropriate to sit too close to such a dominant Alpha. But sitting too far would make business discussion difficult.
I deliberately chose the seat farthest from Connor, sitting directly opposite him. Connor leaned back in his chair, his ice-blue gaze sweeping over me coolly.
The disappointment in his eyes was fleeting. Derek witnessed this scene, sighing silently in his heart.
After everyone was seated, Harrison pushed the menu towards Connor. “Alpha Connor.”
Connor casually flipped through it, naming a few dishes. Then he pushed the menu back to Harrison.
Harrison added a few more substantial dishes to demonstrate his hospitality.
I kept my gaze lowered, not daring to look at the Alpha across from me. I stared blankly at the glass turntable on the table.
The dishes that Connor had just ordered were all my favorites. A few strands of resentment welled up in my heart.
They had already broken their arrangement, yet he continued to do these meaningless things. First, he insisted on me staying for the meal, and then he ordered my favorite dishes in front of me.
What did he mean by this? Was he playing the part of a regretful former fiancé?
Not wanting to cause a scene with Thomas Wilson and Harrison present, I stifled the urge to get up and leave. However, being in the same private room with Connor made me feel suffocated and breathless.
I couldn’t understand the Alpha’s intentions.
(Third person’s POV)
Connor chatted idly with the other Alphas beside him. But he couldn’t help but look at the she-wolf across
Chanter 116 Business Me from him.
She sat there with her head lowered, not speaking of playing on her phone. Like a qualt with its head drooping.
It made Connor want to reach out and stroke her honey-brown hair. He wanted to hold her tightly in his arms After the waiter finished serving the dishes, Olivia buried her head and ate in silence. She was truly hungry. She had been in low spirits since she unexpectedly encountered Connor and Layla Lawrence on the plane last night. She had lost her appetite.
She had also suffered from insomnia. She didn’t have time to eat breakfast this morning before rushing to Southmere Royal Golf Course.
Her stomach was now empty. She couldn’t get a word in edgewise in the Alphas’ conversation, nor did she want to.
So she just ate her own food. Connor agreed to cooperate with Thornwick Enterprises, saying that his assistant would sign the contract with Harrison another day.
