The moment the name left his lips, Helen’s expression turned serious. Knowing secrets had no place in their marriage, Neil decided to speak up.
“Are you okay with Alexander liking Olivia?”
Helen remained silent for a long time and Neil could see the internal struggle on his wife’s face.
“You don’t have to agree against your will.”
Neil’s statement was met with an angry strike on his arm.
“What parent doesn’t want their son to find a good one? Besides,
Olivia is not Alexander’s partner. She’s divorced for crying out loud.”
Almost immediately, Helen realized how her words might sound, and she quickly explained. “I’m not saying she’s bad. I just heard Mike talk about how Olivia is very skilled at being in unlucky relationships.”
Neil looked at his wife with concern. “But it can’t be Alexander, can it?”
Helena didn’t know for certain if the man in question was indeed her son. However, she admitted that perhaps she
(Helena) wasn’t being forgiving enough, that her opinions might even seem hypocritical to others.
But, the reality was that Alexander was the eldest son, the
Alpha heir to the Green pack. Both positions came with a certain type of scrutiny that a normal man wouldn’t be able to handle. And with every eye on the family on his, any minor
Chaper 96 mistakes would be blown out of proportion.
Neil sighed heavily. “Yes. Alexander represents the Green family, but he’s not destined to be fickle.” Neile reassured his troubled wife after that, letting her know that everything was merely speculation at this point. “You’re probably overthinking things,” he suggested gently. “You’ve already arranged a blind date for him. Just encourage him to go. Everything should go smoothly.”
Helen nodded in agreement. But even as her husband kissed her forehead, she still felt far less optimistic than he did.

Alexander had become an internet sensation. The picture spread through all forms of social media, spreading and spreading till it landed on the screen of Ethan Hawthorne.
However, where others reacted with shock and disinterest,
Ethan was furious. What the others didn’t know was that delectable dessert was his ex-wife, Olivia’s favorite. Ethan knew that Olivia had not just taken that shot, but she had probably also joined Alexander in devouring the sweet treat.
His anger bubbled up, even his wolf couldn’t contain that much rage, growling at the picture on his phone screen. But Ethan, knew he had to do something about this. According to him.
Olivia’s ‘closeness’ with Alexander Green had been the sole cause of their divorce the previous day.
Yes, it was his fault. He couldn’t believe that Olivia would cheat him, her mate in such a manner. How reckless of her.
He wanted to tell her as such, but she wouldn’t pick up his calls. So, he grabbed one of his many off his office desk and dialed. As expected, he picked up.
Olivia was currently sitting in a car with Alexander and Gai, traveling to the Green group together. She was looking out the window, trying to avoid her boss’s gaze when her phone rang.
She didn’t recognize the number, and she saw it as a welcome distraction. So, she answered.
“Hello?”
“You’re a hypocrite, you know that? The ink hasn’t even dried on our divorce papers yet, and you’re already throwing yourself at Alexander.”
Olivia recognized the angry voice instantly. She yelped and ended the call. His temporary insanity must have returned.
That was the only explanation for whatever that was.
She tried to just bury her phone in her bag and forget about the whole thing, but from the way Gai looked at her through the rearview mirror, and the way Alexander was eerily silent, it was clear they heard everything.
“You’re divorced?” Gai asked from the driver’s seat.
Alexander rolled his eyes. “Yes, she is.”
Olivia kept her eyes fixed on the car window, staring at anything but the two people in the vehicle with her.
Thankfully, they arrived at the company in record time. The moment they stepped in, Alexander was swarmed by five men in pristine suits. They grabbed his briefcase, following at a respectable distance behind him.
Gai nudged Olivia. “Come on.” She nodded and followed after him.
He guided her through the onboarding process, pointing out the different departments. Olivia was in awe. The building was larger than even Hawthorne Group. But that feeling didn’t last for long. Yve, Olivia’s wolf, picked up on whispers from staff members as Gai led her through the company.
Yes, she expected rumors to swirl around her. But she didn’t think they’d be so blatant about it.
Olivia frowned when she heard one employee say, “That’s her.
Hawtorne groups’ Alpha’s ex-girlfriend.”
“What’s she doing here?” Another one asked.
“Because they broke up, obviously. Alpha Alexander headhunted her and brought her here.”
“But why would he do that?”
“You didn’t see the spat online?”
“What spat?”
“Get this. There was a recent online dispute between the Windsor and Hawthrone family. Alpha Alexander joined in, and he made it pretty clear whose side he was on.”
Olivia turned out after that. She tried to brush it off as mindless gossip, but it did bother her that these people already had a preconceived notion about her.
The tour ended after that, and she followed Gai into the elevator up to the top floor of the building. They stepped out into a large hallway, and on the right side was a large office with glass doors.
Olivia couldn’t believe it when Gai confirmed that this was going to be her space. It made even less sense when he explained that this used to be Alexander’s office. Then why did it go to her? And where was Alexander now?
“Right next to yours, Gai answered, pointing at an even larger door down the hall. “He had the secretarial department moved entirely to another floor due to the constant phone calls and interaction. But since you’ll be the head of that department, and answer directly to him, you’ll be on this floor.”
Olivia barely had time to process what he was saying when Gai pushed the glass doors open. The office was large, not like something a secretary would ordinarily occupy. Apart from the mahogany work desk, there was a lounge-like seating area with a coffee table.
“I’ll be on the other side of Alpha’s office. If you need my help for anything, give me a call or come by. My door is always open.”
Olivia nodded, still looking around the well-designed space. It seemed the office had remained untouched since Alexander left, which would explain all the high-end devices and furniture.
“I’ll be right back,” Gai announced before rushing out of the room.
Olivia used the little alone time she had to check her surroundings. She wouldn’t put it past Alexander to hide a camera here, so he could scold her for not using office hours efficiently. But to her surprise, there was nothing out of the ordinary.
Just as she was checking underneath her desk, Gai returned. She quickly rose to her feet and dusted off her skirt.
Gai gave her a skeptical look but said nothing. “So, there are only three people on this floor. Alpha Alexander, myself and you. As you know, Alexander can be difficult to get along with, which means there are rules.”
