Her polite tone only seemed to stoke the fire in Kane's eyes. His anger mostly directed at himself- now simmered
dangerously as he watched Selene's casual demeanor toward Ellas.
Selene rolled her eyes when she saw him rooted to the spot like a statue, his jaw fight and his fists clenched
"Excuse me, young man," cMargot's voice.
Selene stepped aside so Margot, the owner of the coffee shop, could approach.
Margot looked between them, her expression polite but curious. "Please letknow if we can help you," she
said, addressing Kane.
Kane shifted his gaze briefly to Margot before turning it back to Selene.
"Are you coming withor not?" he asked, his tone low but unmistakably commanding
Selene could tell it wasn't a question-it was a warning. But she wasn't the type to back down.
She crossed her arms and looked him square in the eye. "I told you that night-I'm tired. What new accusation are
you going to throw atthis time?"
Kane's jaw tightened, but he didn't snap back. "Did | say | chere for that?"
"Then why are you here?" Selene shot back, her voice sharp but quiet enough for only him to hear. “Kane
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThorne, if you wantto lose my job, just go to my boss directly and ask her to fire me. What else could |
possibly expect from you? But at least spare her business-it's not her fault."
Her tone was dripping with frustration, though she kept her voice to a whisper to avoid drawing more
attention.
Kane's eyes flicked toward the customers, who were still staring at the two of them with obvious
curiosity.
"Can't you all just mind your own business?" he said, his voice cutting through the
room.
Selene's eyes widened in disbelief. "You!" she hissed, furious.
But Kane ignored her and strode toward the counter, where Margot was standing. Stopping in front of her, he
asked, "Are you the owner of this coffee shop?"
"Yes," Margot replied, her voice steady but cautious.
Kane nodded slightly, reached into his wallet, and pulled out a card. He placed it on the counter, covering it with
his palm as he leaned forward.
"Your loyal employee here said | was disturbing your business. So I'm here to compensate you for the
inconvenience," he said, his tone calm but firm.
Margot blinked, startled. "Oh, that's not necessary-
“I insist,” Kane interrupted. “And | also want you to arrange coffee for my company tomorrow morning."

The room fell into stunned silence
Selene's mouth fell open, and the other employees froze. Even the customers were taken aback. Selene noticed
how many of the women in the caté-both employees and customers were now gazing at Kane, their cheeks
turning pink
She rubbed her forehead in exasperation as she muttered under her breath, "Great. They recognized
him."
Kane had always been a mafor attention, especially from women. He was powerful, commanding, and, to
their eyes, devastatingly handsome
Margot, clearly flustered but trying to keep her composure, chuckled nervously. "Well, okay. What's the nof
your company? We'll be happy to arrange that ”
Kane didn't answer. Instead, he moved his hand away from the card, revealing the embossed letters of his
business name: Apex Industries.

Margot's eyes widened in shock. Her gaze shot up to Kane's face as realization dawned. "Al-Alpha A- Kane?" she
stammered, her voice trembling.
The entire café seemed to freeze. The customers and employees alike stopped what they were doing, and the
room filled with hushed whispers. “Alpha?" someone murmured.
The murmurs grew louder, and Selene saw a few of the girls in the café pulling out their phones to record. Within
seconds, they were already posting videos online.
"Yes, he's Alpha Kane," one of the women whispered excitedly.
The boys in the café-including Elias-leapt to their feet. Elias looked like he'd seen
a ghost, his face drained of color as the realization of who he had just confronted hit him.
Kane, irritated by the growing rumble of whispers, turned around to face the
room.
The moment he moved, every single person in the café bowed their heads in unison, their voices rising
in reverence.
"All hail our head Alpha!" cthe unified greeting.
Kane's piercing gaze swept the room, his mere presence radiating power. The café, filled with chatter just
moments ago, now buzzed with tension and awe.
