After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 80

Chapter 80

The dance came to an end and Volk stepped back, bowing deeply to her. Elaine curtsied herself.

“A pleasure,” Volk said.

“I’m surprised to say I didn’t entirely hate it.”

Volk smirked. “You dislike dancing?”

“Only because I’d never had a capable partner.” Elaine cast a glance over the crowd, as if she could see Lucas somewhere among them. “Though I find it’s not half bad.”

“Then you might indulge me with another dance,” Volk said.

Elaine turned to him.

But he did not pull her into another dance, not yet. He instead offered his arm and she took it. “Later in the night, of course. As it would seem we have something more pressing to discuss.”

Elame took his arm and he led her away from the floor. Finally they were getting to what she’d come here

for. Her foundation.

Volk led Elaine toward the edges of the crowd, snagging two champagne glasses from a passing waiter’s tray as he did. He held one out to her. Elaine took it though did not immediately drink.

“I have to say, little wolf, I’m almost impressed. You seem competent enough to hold your own.” Volk looked down at her. “And firm in your own belief of your skills.”

“We have a good thing going for us. We just need to get the foundation approved,” Elaine said.

“We?”

“My investors and I. I am not alone in this endeavor, if that puts your mind at ease. This isn’t some afternoon fancy of mine I’m creating on the spot. I’m building something that will last,” Elaine said.

Volk looked at her thoughtfully, searching that determined gaze that met his own. He was so confident. It was hard not to believe her.
