"Alex is acting weird since yesterday. He even asked to stop the search for Alie," Flora murmured after the guard at the mansion’s gate told her Alex couldn’t see her because of the work.
Flora clenched her fists hard, her eyes gleaming golden as she felt Alex was hiding sothing from her. Taking out the phone from her purse, she called Alex. But to her surprise, he didn’t answer her call.
Lowering it, she gazed at the guard. "Do you know where Alpha Alex go yesterday? And where is he now?" she asked the guards, who exchanged glances with each other.
"Miss Conley, we don’t know anything about Alpha Alex’s yesterday trip. Currently, he has gone for an important eting outside," one of them replied to Flora.
"I see. Please tell him to call back once he wakes up," Flora urged. She didn’t want to lose her control in front of those guards. She believed until she would beco the Luna of Red River Pack, she needed to act calmly.
Climbing back into the car, she drove off to her ho.
"Zander!" Flora exclaid seeing the beta coming from the front. She promptly stepped on the brakes and the car ca to a sudden halt.
Unfastening her belt, Flora stepped out of the car and called Zander’s na.
He promptly stopped and turned his head only to find Flora before him.
"What are you doing here, Flora?" asked Zander.
"I was here to see Alex. But he didn’t answer my calls. He is probably resting. The guard didn’t allow to go in saying Alex is busy in a work and has gone for an important eting. But his beta is here. What’s going on? Is Alex hiding sothing from ?" Flora asked, looking at Zander with a suspicious gaze.
"I am here to pick up a file that Alpha Alex has asked to. There’s nothing he’s hiding from you, Flora. Just give so ti to the Alpha," Zander answered her calmly.
"Why has the search been stopped for Alie? Dad told that Alex thinks if Alie has run away from the pack, then there’s no use to chase her and waste our tis. Though Alex has told too, but it is just odd. Shouldn’t she be punished for tarnishing Alex’s image?" Flora questioned while hoping for a positive response.
"It’s strange that’s coming from a sister’s mouth," Zander remarked sharply.
"What?" Flora frowned to hear his statent.
"Flora, Alex has a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders after he beca the Alpha of the pack. I hope you won’t bother him with such questions. As the future Luna, you must not doubt his actions but believe him," Zander advised her.
"Now, if you please excuse , I would like to go ahead for the work," he said, keeping the tone polite.
"Of course!" Flora replied and watched him leave. ’I am going to kick him out once I beco the official Luna of the pack. Lecturing as if he’s powerful than .’
She angrily walked to the car and stepped in again. Without wasting another second, she drove back to her house.

Alie was flabbergasted with the infrastructure of the company that Gabriel had established ten years ago after the separation from his family. He was not only a renowned investnt banker in the nation, but also an inspiring entrepreneur, who started his journey from zero.
During the eting, Alie keenly observed Gabriel. Though it had only been a year for her in the corporate, she never got to see such a person who was confident in everything he would do.
"So, Alie, did you understand everything?" Karn’s voice brought her out of those thoughts about Gabriel.
"Yes, I’ve understood everything. I have to start every morning with Gabriel’s schedule and make sure to check everything beforehand. He doesn’t like half-baked knowledge, so I must ensure I know everything," Alie asserted.
"Absolutely right. My work will be lessened if you do this job properly. I want to trust you because Gabriel does," Karn stated.
"I will make sure you never get any complaint for ," Alie assured him with a warm smile.
"Great. I wanted to–" his words abruptly cut off by Gabriel, who appeared in the secretary cabin.
"Alie, dear!" Gabriel pronounced.
Karn excused himself, giving them much needed privacy and walked out, shutting the door behind him.
"Yes, Sir?" Alie responded while clasping her hands together.
"Sir?" Gabriel mused. "I won’t mind if you call my na," he said, tilting his head low to look at her closely.
"It would be appropriate to call you ’sir’ during the work," Alie replied.
"As you wish," Gabriel said. "I am heading out. If you feel tired, you can take breaks and don’t stress yourself with the work."
"Hmm." Alie was quite surprised with his concern. He was giving her a princess kind of treatnt even at the work.
As Gabriel took a step back, Alie said, "Thank you for trusting with this job. I will do my best."
"I know, you will." Gabriel gave a prompt response. "Keep your phone close. I may call you to know about you," he said with a smirk.
Alie nodded at him and watched him leave. Her heart was filled with peace. This never happened before.
’It is strange that when you et unknown people by accident, you suddenly feel you are at ho than you are with your own family. I was never valued in the place, which I considered my ho once. No one talked to with such politeness. In this second chance, I will definitely turn the tides in my favor and find my ho here,’ Alie thought as she settled on the comfy chair.
A smile ford on her lips realizing how comfortable it was. Gabriel had taken care of everything for her needs even at the workplace. "He is acting as if we are truly mates," Alie murmured and picked up the file that she was supposed to finish working on today.
