Chapter 107
Alexander listened with half an ear, nodding whenever Steven
paused for his approval. He didn’t care about most of the events
planned as long as he ensured the resort was running smoothly
and efficiently. And when Steven finished his enthusiastic
presentation, Alexander simply waved him off with a
dismissive gesture.
“Make whatever arrangements you think are appropriate. You
know this place better than I do.”
Steven was excited. His ultimate goal was to please his boss.
And with everything he had planned, he was certain Alexander
would be over the moon with barely restrained glee.
He then turned his attention to Olivia, who had been staring out
the window in awe throughout the entire drive. When the bus
finally cto a stop and they all climbed down, Steven
approached her.
“It’s lovely to meet you, Olivia. | was wondering... would you
mind if | added you to the plans as a friend? I'd love to stay in
touch and to get a neutral point of view of the resort.”
Olivia smiled warmly. The trip was turning into an adventure
after all. “I'd love to.”

Steven could barely contain his excitement. His day just kept
getting better and better.
However, Alexander watched this exchange from the side with
growing irritation. The way Steven smiled at Olivia grated on his nerves. And it didn’t get better when Steven

praise on Olivia, telling her how she looked so put-together
after what must have been a stressful trip.
And then, Alexander's patience finally snapped.
“Are we going to keep standing here?,” Alexander asked loudly,
interrupting Steven's annoying compliments.
Steven's face immediately flushed with embarrassment as he
recognized the Alpha’s displeasure. Years of working under
Alexander had taught him to read his employer's mood
perfectly, and he could clearly see the warning signs.
“I... 1 should go check on the afternoon arrangements,” Steven
stammered, quickly excusing himself before turning around
and walking far away from the villa.
Olivia wasn’t exactly surprised by Alexander's sour mood. He
was almost always grumpy, especially when given news that
wasn't pleasant. Even though the two men had tried to be
discreet, her wolf had picked up on their conversation. Yve had
been kind enough to brief her properly on the escapades of Ben
Wilde.

Which, judging by the specifics, was enough to have Alexander
feeling murderous. She didn’t want to get caught in the cross fire and have Alexander transfer his pent up
aggression on her.
So, she quietly began to gather the suitcases from the car,
intending to carry them upstairs herself without bothering the
obviously troubled man.
As she bent to lift the heaviest bag, Alexander's hand suddenly
covered hers on the handle. And when she looked up, she
gasped at the sheer intensity in his gaze.
“I'am not in the habit of mistreating my employees.” Without
waiting for her response, he lifted the suitcase from her grasp
effortlessly and began to move toward the villa.
Olivia blinked in surprise at Alexander's unexpected behavior.
The Alpha was an enigma. She couldn't understand him. But
she knew better than to voice her opinions.
Without a word, she fell into step behind him as he strode
toward the grand staircase, her mind racing to understand the
complex man that was Alpha Alexander.
Olivia wanted to take her tto appreciate the decor of the
villa, but Alexander's long legs were moving so quickly, that all
she noticed was a flash of white before she followed him to the
upper floor.

After Alexander deposited the suitcases in the hallway, Olivia
quietly claimed the guest bedroom for herself, grateful for the
privacy it would afford her.
Once she had arranged her few belongings in the walk-in closet,
Olivia made her way to the master bedroom to assist Alexander
with organizing his clothes. It was a task she had not yet
performed since she started working for him, but she assumed
it was her responsibility.
She found the room empty, and his suitcase open. Different
clothing items spilled out as if he'd started arranging them, but
swiftly abandoned the mundane task.
Her hands moved automatically, smoothing fabric and aligning
collars. But as she did so, a sense of déja vu
fell on her.
