Followed by the memory of him looking atin plane, longingly. | just couldnt help with those memories
returning.
Unfortunately, Alexandernoticed.
He looked down atwith an unreadable expression. “Something on your mind?”
“Nope,” | said way too fast. “Just... spacing out.””
“Mhm,” he muttered, clearly not convinced. His lips curled slightly, but he turned his gaze away.
When we reached the top floor, | expected him to take me
straight to dinner. But no, he pushedinto the living room of
his penthouse, which looked like something out of a luxury
magazine-clean lines, dark wood, and minimal furniture.
“Dinners still a few minutes away,” Alexander said. “Thought
we could get something done first.”
“What?” | asked, instinctively, but corrected my rudeness right
away. “I mean, what are we supposed to do?”
He didn’t answer. Just pushedtoward a room. The den.
And then... he closed the door behind us. Why did he close the
door like that? | hoped his intentions are not what | think they
are.
| swallowed. “Um... why'd you close the door?”
He raised a brow. “Because it’s a den, Olivia. Not a public waiting
lounge.”
Right. Totally normal.
He wheeledup to a desk-his desk, apparently-and pulled
out a stack of neatly arranged papers.
“Gai is gone for a while,” he said, placing them in front of me.

too hard.”
So, Gai was gone and | would serve as his replacement for now.
“Oh, this is what you meant earlier!” | muttered to myself but
forgot that werewolves can hear sharper. Alexander must have
heard it.
He tilted his head. “What did you say?”
“Nothing! I just said something about my mobility” | waved
vaguely. “You know, just sissues with certain
movements.... That's all. Haha.”
Chapter 53
“Hmm, | think you can manage well,” he narrowed his eyes. “If
that’s what you actually said.”
“Surely!” | said while looking down.
But | noticed Alexader from the corner of my eyes. He didn’t
laugh. But he also didn’t deny the smile tugging at the corner of
his mouth.
| didn’t wait any further and pulled the papers closer.
For the next twenty minutes, we worked. Sometimes | would
look at Alexander partially. He sat five feet away from me
typing away on his laptop, legs crossed, expression composed
like always.
Even casually dressed, and barefoot, he seemed too attractive to
not look at. But | kept continuing my work.
Then, suddenly, | felt the chair being pulled back gently.
“Enough for now,” Alexander said. “Dinner must be ready. Let's
go.”
And then he wheeledout of the study and into the dining
area, where warm lights lit up the elegant yet comfortable
space. Before | could even process anything, Mike cout of

smelling like heaven-if | may say so myself, he beamed.
| chuckled, trying to keep a straight face. “Do you hype up your cooking before every meal, or is this special
performance just
today?”
Mike placed a hand over his heart tically. “I'm offended.
This isn’t hype. It’s confidence. Wait till you taste my chicken &
spinach soup with fresh pesto. Alpha nearly licked the plate last
time.”
“I did not,” Alexander said flatly from behind me.
Mike gave him a look. “Oh, right. Sorry. You ‘composedly wiped
it clean with a fork and no expression. Much better.”
| smothered a laugh with my hand.
Alexander remained calm, his face unreadable as he pushed me
to the table. “Sit. Eat before he stayts

Mike pulled out a chair and set the dishes like he was hosting a
royal dinner. There were grilled vegetables, seasoned rice, some
chicken glazed with something mouth-watering, and the special
soup forthat madesalivate just from the aroma.
“Careful, Miss Olivia,” Mike warned.

“Amazing,” | murmured after the first bite. “Mike... this is
amazing.”
His eyes lit up. “Right?! | told you! Alpha, did you hear that? She
said it's amazing!”
“I heard,” Alexander said mildly, sipping his soup.
“Eat more, Olivia,” Mike encouraged.

“I will.” I said while scooping another spoon of the soup.
It just tooka moment to realize that | had already ate a lot. |
didn’t think I overate like this in a long time.
“I am so happy, Olivia, that you finished all the soup,” Mike
laughed.
I blinked. “Wait... what? All of it?”
