The Alpha’s Hidden Heirs
Chapter 291
The Next Day
By the tSelene woke up, it was already too late to make it to the coffee shop. A deep sigh left her lips as she
curled further into her blanket. She had caught a cold-unsurprising, considering how she ignored Grayson’s
warnings and let herself get soaked in the rain last night.
When he had dropped her off at home, the sneezing had already started. By morning, a mild fever had set in,
leaving her exhausted and sleeping for most of the day.
But after lunch, she decided she couldn't stay in bed any longer. It wasn’t her own shop where she could come
and go as she pleased. Margot, her boss, was a kind and understanding woman, but Selene refused to take
advantage of that,
As soon as Selene stepped inside the shop, Margot’s sharp eyes landed on her.
“You look pale. What happened?” Margot asked, concern lacing her voice.
Selene let out a small laugh, explaining the events of last night.
Margot chuckled, shaking her head. “You young folks really do love playing in the rain, huh?”
“Not all of us,” Selene admitted with a sheepish grin. “But | do, Grayson tried to stopso many times... |

With a knowing smile, Margot handed her a steaming cup of cappuccino.
Selene inhaled deeply, the rich aroma lifting her spirits. “Thanks, Margot.”
After finishing her coffee, she threw herself back into work.
The afternoon flew by as she helped oversee modifications to the shop. Margot had decided a little redecoration
might boost business, so Selene worked closely with the architect, managing the process and giving directions.
The design team was quick to notice how sharp Selene was, not just with aesthetics but with budgeting and
marketing strategies as well. Eventually, someone recognized her, and murmurs spread -she wasn’t just some
ordinary barista. She was once the CEO of the Iron Crown Pack, a powerhouse in the business world, a name
every Alpha wanted to negotiate with.
“Selene, | really appreciate this,” Margot told her sincerely.
“It’s nothing,” Selene replied, only to be interrupted by a sudden sneeze.
By the tevening rolled around, the rain had returned, drumming lightly against the shop’s windows. The
weather was unpredictable this tof year, and there was a good chance it would pour all night.
“You should head home,” Margot insisted. “I'll close up today.”
Selene turned to object-this was her responsibility-but the pounding in her head made her hesitate.
“Alright,” she relented, slipping off her apron. A glance at the clock told her it was already nine at night.
After saying her goodbyes to Margot and the remaining staff, she stepped outside.
It wasn’t until she was a few steps away from the coffee shop that she realized she had left her
