Chapter 47
Clay had arrived too.
The two of us stood on either side of the living room waiting for Garrett Wylder to come
out.
While waiting. I secretly glanced at Clay–he had worked with Garrett Wylder for so long, surely he’d never done what I jriát did?
Or had he experienced it too?
For some reason, an image suddenly popped into my head of Clay lunging at Garrett Wylder and kissing his face…

Oh my god!
“Elara, why are you looking at me like that?”
Clay felt uncomfortable under my gaze and even touched his own face.
“Nothing, nothing, I just…”

Outside the window, lights blazed brilliantly, while my face was a palette of colors, like an exposed Easter egg.
I turned to face forward and gulped down a large mouthful of “mineral wine” like I was drinking alcohol.
Garrett Wylder’s gaze seemed to linger on my face, damn it, making my

Until I couldn’t help but turn back to that handsome face and ask, “Alpha….
