NovelEnglishOlivia found her mind drifting to a twhen she used to
perform this sintimate task for her ex-husband, how she
had taken such pride in ensuring his shirts were perfectly
pressed, his ties properly arranged. She had been so devoted
then, so eager to please him, that she didn’t notice when their
mate bond began to fade.
She was so lost in the memory, that her fingers tightened
unconsciously around the fine cotton of Alexander's shirt, and
when she finally cback to reality, she realized with horror
that she had squeezed the fabric.
The once neatly pressed shirt now had wrinkles spreading
across the collar to the torso.
“Do you have sparticular grudge against my clothes?”
Olivia gasped and turned around to find Alexander standing in the doorway, his eyes fixed on the wrinkled shirt
in her hands.

Olivia didn’t know what to say or how to react. So, she tried to
smooth the shirt out as much as she could, folded it neatly and
set it aside. Then, she moved on to one of the suit jackets he
packed.
Chapter 108
Once again, her mind began to wander. She even forgot that
Alexander was standing right behind her, watching her movements. From the way her shoulders moved, he
could tell
she was upset. About what, he couldn't tell.

She continued working, until she folded the last piece of clothing and deposited everything into the closet. When
she turned around, she was startled to see that Alexander was still
standing there. It was apparent that he'd watched her throughout, and now she wasn’t just embarrassed, she
was also
nervous.
And that was a dangerous combination. Olivia started
searching for something to fill the awkward silence. Before she could stop the words, or think of something
better, she blurted, “Is there anything else you needto take off?” She
immediately froze as the unintended double meaning of her
words hit her.
Alexander smiled slowly. Olivia walked right into that one. The
Alpha would never let such a golden opportunity to tease his
secretary pass him by.
“Well, | suppose I'd catch a cold if | took everything off!”*
And without another word, Alexander turned and left the
room, leaving behind a mortified Olivia.
Alone now, Olivia sank onto the edge of the bed. The look on
Chapter 108
Alexander's face as he turned away was burned into her mind.
No matter how she replayed the scene in her head, she didn’t
know what that look meant.
She buried her face in her hands. Her biggest fear was that this
interaction might have given Alexander the wrong impression
of her.
Olivia remained in that spot for stime, and when the
embarrassment finally fizzled out, she rose to her feet and
returned to her room. She pulled her laptop and went to sit at
the desk in the room. She was staring blankly at the screen,
when her phone buzzed with an incoming message from
Steven.
Steven Miller: Ben Wilde would like to postpone today’s
planned event's until tomorrow. He's extending an invitation
for Alexander to attend a wine tasting at his private villa this
evening by 7pm instead. Please inform Alpha Alexander about
this.
Olivia read the message twice. After that awkward interaction
with her boss, she'd hoped she wouldn't have to see him till
much later. But the universe had other plans.
Rising from her chair, Olivia made her way down the hallway
to Alexander's room. She stood before his door for a moment,
gathering her courage, then raised her hand and knocked softly.

“Alexander? | have a message from Steven about Ben Wilde.”
Silence.
She knocked again, a bit louder this time. “Alexander?”
Still nothing. Perhaps he was in the shower, or maybe he had
stepped out without her noticing. Or perhaps, and this thought
made her stomach tighten, he was deliberately avoiding her
after their uncomfortable encounter.

The only option was to return to her room.
Nearly an hour later, her phone buzzed again. Steven's name
appeared on the screen.
Steven Miller: Ben Wilde has inquired again. He says if
Alexander cannot cto the estate, he would be happy to
bring someone to Alexander instead. He seems quite eager to
meet. What should I tell him?
Olivia stared at the message with a low groan. It dawned on her
that she couldn't just let Waring

from him.
With a deep breath, Olivia gathered all her courage and walked
back down the hallway. She knocked on Alexander's door again
with more determination this time.
