Although he was smiling, and his tone was quite friendly, my scalp tingled.
I was in despair. “IT WAS OVER!! NO!” my wolf already realized that. His reaction, along with the dark circles under his eyes from lack of sleep, told me… he’d seen it!
My smile froze on my lips. I didn’t dare meet his gaze. I lowered my head and awkwardly coughed.”…Slept okay. Mainly because I drank a bit last night, and I was so dizzy, everything was blurry, haha.”
Xander’s expression turned cold. The smile was gone. The atmosphere in the room became suffocating, and I knew it was the pressure of Xander’s Alpha aura. A thoughtful light shone in his eyes. “Alcohol isn’t an excuse.”
I said, “… Really, my vision was incredibly blurry after drinking. My fingers were completely out of control, like… like…” I searched for the right words, “…like I was possessed.”
Xander chuckled.“Keep trying to explain.”
Me:…
My expression was sincere, as I assured him earnestly, “It really was a slip of the finger!~~~
Even if I was half–asleep, I wouldn’t have called him baby in a daze. There was only one possibility: my brain and fingers weren’t
cooperating.
Xander seemed too lazy to listen to my excuses. “No need to say more. This time it was a slip of the finger; next time it might be a slip of the tongue. You can’t just do things and not take responsibility, Sophia Wells.”
His gaze was like he was looking at a woman who’d slept with someone and then denied it.
I felt like I was going to have a heart attack. No… why would he suspect I did it on purpose? I didn’t have the guts to tease him like
that. Was I suicidal?
Zane and Liam were completely dumbfounded. If they remembered correctly, I said I would go to the company myself. Why was I upstairs again? They couldn’t understand at all.
Xander wiped his mouth with a napkin. “Sophia, you didn’t come all the way up here just to say good morning, and… to explain about the finger slip, did you?”
He spoke, placing his hand next to his phone, his long fingers lightly tapping.
My heart beat erratically, my wolf was nervous, “HE KNOWS US COME TO DESTROY THE EVIDENCE?”
I placed the strawberry mousse on the table.“This cake is really delicious. I don’t have anything else to say. Goodbye.”
Then I turned and left.
Xander stopped me.“You’ve come all this way, why are you leaving? Come back.”
I stopped. I turned around and went back, gritting my teeth.
Xander told Liam to open the cake and bring it over. He took a small bite, took out his phone, and took pictures. He clicked his tongue.“Sophia, come and help me take pictures.”
Zane and Liam were even more confused. It was already weird that she came to deliver a cake, and now he wants to take pictures of it after eating it?
I had a hunch he was up to something. I could smell the villainous factor in the bones of this capitalist.
The moment I got his phone, I had an epiphany… wasn’t this a golden opportunity to destroy the evidence? As long as there was no evidence, I would absolutely deny sending that message.
I quickly opened his Whatsapp.

Theard a gentle, thillingly calm voice, “Sophia, be careful. Don’t accidentally delete anything.”
I stiffened.” Yes, okay.”

lobediently responded, then without blinking, deleted the message. One slip of the finger is a slip; two slips are still a slip.
