My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 154

Lila’s POV

“You got us a table? I said under my breath as we followed the waiter toward an empty table.

“I figured if we are going to be here anyway, we might as well eat.”

“You could have run that by me first,” I said, trying hard not to roll my eyes at him.

Enzo shrugged at my words.

“Would you have denied me?”

I frowned, peering up at him. I probably wouldn’t have denied him. He was right; if we were going to be here spying on Connie and Tyler, we might as well get a table too, and have some food while we do that. Plus, I hadn’t eaten all day and I was admittedly starving.

I didn’t answer his question though; I didn’t want to give him the satisfaction of knowing he was right.

Our table wasn’t too far away from Connie and Tyler’s table. It was far enough away that we couldn’t hear what they were talking about, which I found frustrating, but close enough that we could see facial expressions.

Once we were seated, the waiter gave us our menus and went to check on Connie and Tyler. I couldn’t keep my eyes away from their table. I knew Connie wanted to reject him and she didn’t exactly promise me that she’ll do it after dinner.

I was waiting for that heartbreaking and wolf-shattering moment. I knew this was going to destroy Tyler once it happened.

“Stop watching them and figure out what you want to eat,” Enzo said, peering over at me from across the table.

My face warmed as I turned away from Connie and Tyler.

“Sorry,” I murmured. “I’m just worried. Tyler is going to be so heartbroken.”

“Maybe she won’t reject him.”

“Do you really think there’s a chance she won’t?” I asked, raising my brows.

“I’m not in her head so I can’t be sure. But she hasn’t done it yet and they seem to be having a nice conversation.”

“I wish I could hear what they are saying. There are too many conversations going on in here; it’s hard to hear even with my wolf hearing,” I said, shaking my head as I grabbed the menu.

Everything on the menu was incredibly expensive but Enzo didn’t seem to be fazed by any of it. He had already picked out his food and had the menu closed in front of him. I scanned the menu for something cheap, but the cheapest thing was a $30 salad with an additional cost of protein.

“How did you pick out what you wanted so quickly?” I found myself asking as I continued scanning the menu.

“I’ve been here before during my last trip.”

I keep forgetting that Enzo has been to Monstro before. I felt a tight knot in my stomach at his words though. He’s been to this incredibly fancy restaurant before? I couldn’t help but wonder who he had taken here. It had to have been a date of some sort.

As if he could read the emotions on my face he said, “It was a business dinner. I went with a couple of other Alphas.”

I felt myself sighing in relief and fighting the smile that tugged at my lips.

The waiter returned moments later.

“Good evening, Alpha. May I start you and your lovely Luna off with something to drink?”

My face instantly grew hot at his words, and I quickly found myself needing to correct him. But just as I opened my mouth to tell the waiter that I was certainly not Enzo’s Luna, Enzo started to order his drink.

“I’ll have a white wine,” he said.

Both looked at me waiting for me to order as well. I wasn’t sure I would be able to find my voice, it seemed to be caught in my throat.

“And for you, Luna?” The waiter asked.

I could now see the humor twinkling in Enzo’s eyes. He was enjoying watching me squirm. I pressed my lips together in aggravation.

If he wanted to play a game, then I didn’t mind playing a game.

“I’ll do the same,” I said with my most confident voice, straightening my shoulders.
