Bad Love: An Alpha's Regret (Leah and Aaron) novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164
Eventually I drag myself out of bed and take a shower, put on fresh clothes, and then venture out to the main room.
James is sitting at the table with a laptop open. Being Aaron’s second in charge keeps him busy. It also looks like he’s texting someone. I want to ask if it’s Aaron, my wolf is pushing the words to the tip of my tongue, but I stubbornly swallow them down.
“I’m going to the corporate floors,” I tell James. “I’ll be fine on my own.”

It certainly isn’t in any of our accounts.
Plus Aaron-even managing the packs and business remotely as he had been-would have noticed and been suspicious of a sudden multi-billion dollar influx to our bank accounts.
I tap my foot impatiently as the elevator takes me up to the restricted floor-again, only because I scanned my hand print. Aaron sure has stepped up security on this place since Liam’s betrayal.
The elevator finally arrives on the restricted floor, and I’m required to scan my hand a final time before the door will even open.
When they slide apart and I step out onto the floor, I immediately stop, gasping at the sight I’m met with.
