Chapter 54
I’d originally thought it was normal, but now after Amelia’s “eye attack“… it felt somehow strange.
I walked into the suite. Garrett Wylder was standing by the floor to ceiling window, head down, unfastening his watch strap.
A man unfastening his watch strap combined with that physique… my head suddenly conjured a melodramatic soap opera plot:
–The male and female leads who love and hate each other, to emotionally manipulate each other, the male lead deliberately gets intimate with his secretary to break the female lead’s defenses!
I instinctively blurted out: “Alpha, you’re–you’re going to-
“I’m hungry.”
His voice was low and hoarse, his gaze slowly sweeping toward me.
I almost thought I was about to be pounced on, my feet already stepping back half a step.
Seeing my overreaction, Garrett Wylder glanced at the watch in his hand, somewhat speechless, “I mean stomach hungry.”
“Oh oh, stomach hungry–haha, you scared me.”
I laughed dryly, feeling embarrassed myself.
The air instantly became awkwardly tense.
I gritted my teeth and turned to call for food, “Alpha, what would you like to eat?”
“Whatever.”
He said it matter–of–factly.
…The most difficult thing in the world to serve is “whatever.”
I methodically ordered food over the phone, my voice extremely gentle while internally rolling my eyes dozens of times.
After hanging up, I turned to see he’d put his watch back on.
Meaning–he knew all along what was floating through my
mind…
“Secretary Elara.”
He suddenly spoke, “The things you’re doing now, Clay used to do them all.”
My head hadn’t recovered from the “melodramatic scene,” and hearing this I blurted out: “Clay had to do these kinds of things too?“.
Garrett Wylder: “…”
He waved his hand, at the end of his patience: /Get out.”
I obediently left the room, stood in the hallway for a while, feeling more and more ashamed, until finally… I couldn’t help but gently bump my head against the wall twice.
**Third Person Perspective:*
Clay happened to return just then, seeing her bumping against the wall, completely confused.

Chapter 54
Just as lie was about to walk over, Garrett Wylder’s call came in, so he had to go back first.
As soon as he entered, Clay couldn’t help but speak: “Alpha, did Secretary Elara alto drink? I just saw her in the hallway… bumping her head again. the wall.”
Garrett Wylder: “…”
He rubbed his forehead, his expression full of exhaustion and speechlessness.
Then he went over tomorrow’s schedule details.
At this time, room service arrived.
Clay rubbed his stomach: “I’m starving.”
Garrett Wylder glanced at him, “Sit down and eat together.”
During the meal, he casually asked: “I was winning pretty well earlier, why did you switch?”
Clay wanted to laugh thinking about it: “She was really too bold. I was worried at first, but she got more and more excited, finally wanting to go all in. I almost had a heart attack on the spot. I really couldn’t watch anymore, so I made an excuse for her to find you. She thought she was a gambling god…
Garrett Wylder’s brow moved, his tone pausing for a second: “She… went out?”
Clay nodded: “Yeah, I told her to go see if Alpha needed any help on your end. But it was just for a moment, she came back quickly.”
Garrett Wylder leaned back on the sofa, his fingertips tapping the armrest intermittently, his expression thoughtful.
Could the sound on the deck that night have been her?
