The Alpha’s Regret Claiming His Luna novel Chapter 241

Chapter 167: The Alpha’s Jealousy–2

“Where exactly?” Connor asked innocently.

“Right over there,” I instinctively turned my head to point. My lips accidentally brushed against Connor’s lips in the process.

I suddenly sprang up from my chair with a sharp intake of breath. “Connor Rivers!”

He had moved even closer just then, which was why my lips touched his when I turned my head. I became genuinely angry.

“Can you please stop causing trouble here? I’m very busy and don’t have time to play around with you.”

Seeing that I was truly upset, Connor restrained himself somewhat. He picked up the pile of waste paper from the desk, his tone carrying a coaxing gentleness.

“Lawyer Winters, don’t be angry. I really didn’t see it just now.”

“Liar!” My face turned bright red, and my voice rose several notes in frustration.

(Connor’s POV)

I walked over to the nearby shredder and began feeding the waste paper in a few sheets at a time. My wolf was pleased by our brief contact, even if Olivia was angry about it.

“Don’t be angry, Livvy. Let me take you to dinner tonight to apologize–to that barbecue restaurant you love.”

“I’m not going!” Olivia snapped back.

Just then, someone knocked on the door. Olivia took two deep breaths to compose herself before saying.”

Come in.”

The person who entered was Adrian Sinclair, impeccably dressed in a suit. His gold–rimmed glasses framed eyes that held an amused smile.

“When did Alpha Connor start doing tasks that assistants usually handle?” Adrian asked with apparent

lightness.

Though his wolf recognized the territorial display I was making. He looked toward Olivia, joking. “Lawyer Winters, when did our law firm become so capable that we can hire the CEO of Rivers Group to do odd jobs?”

Olivia was in no mood for jokes right now. Her expression darkened slightly, her tone revealing displeasure. Some people are just too idle.”

Sensing her bad mood, Adrian’s smile faded as he asked with genuine concern. “What’s wrong? Is there something troubling you?”

I immediately fell silent and returned to quietly shredding paper. Adrian looked between Olivia and me, while 1 simply smiled back at him with obvious satisfaction.
