After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 294

Chapter 294

Selim Richter paced his office, his anger creating tension in the room that one could cut with a knife. Or perhaps he’d do the cutting. Selim’s hands shook as he walked over to the desk and leaned forward on it.

“How close were they this time?” he demanded, glaring at Nick who stood awkwardly near the door.

“Just around the block,” Nick replied, clearing his throat. His hands fiddled at his front and he refused to meet Selim’s eyes. “They diverted but they got close this time.”

Selim hung his head in thought. Those pigs didn’t usually investigate so close to where he was. They’d pass by, sure. But never looking. Never actively. But now they were on his doorstep searching for the key.

It was something Selim shouldn’t allow to happen but was forced to sit back and watch. Ever since Lucas ‘new laws and reinforcements with the rogue attacks, business had gotten shaky.

He had to be careful.

And now that Ayla wasn’t in Lucas‘ ear, steering his focus elsewhere, Selim wasn’t sure how long he could keep all this a secret. Though he knew one thing for certain. He wasn’t going to go to jail.

There was a knock on the door behind Nick. The grunt jerked away from the sound, then settled himself and reached over to open it. He was already on edge.

It annoyed Selim more than anything.

“Who dares to come banging on my door at this hour?” he mused.

The hinges creaked as the door swung inward. Selim stilled, and any annoyance evaporated from his face in the blink of an eye.

Mia and May.

The twins stood there like a couple of circus clowns. At least that’s how Selim always saw them. Matching down to the nail. Though they had a lot more power than he did, so he never argued with the two, not really.

He cleared his throat, trying to rid himself of his anger and annoyance. “Ah. Mia. May. I wasn’t expecting you. What a…surprise.”

He couldn’t say it a lovely surprise. It never was when these two were around. Though they were his suppliers. So he had to play nice.

“How did you get past the border?” Selim asked.

“It’s quite easy when you can mask your scent,” Mia said and swept into the room. She adjusted her glasses and looked around. “Well…this isn’t much of a hideout, is it?”
