Chapter 223: The Alpha’s Pursuit

(Olivia’s POV)

The soft piano music continued to flow through Moonlight Pinnacle Fine Dining as Connor and I settled into our meal. The romantic atmosphere was undeniable, with candlelight flickering across the pristine white tablecloth.

Despite the intimate setting, I found myself thinking about work. After all, Connor had used discussing cases as his excuse for this dinner invitation.

“Connor,” I began, cutting into my perfectly prepared venison steak. “Since we’re here to discuss business, I should mention the other cases Rivers Pack Holdings has entrusted to me.”

Connor paused mid–bite, his ice–blue eyes sparkling with amusement. “Are you really going to talk about work in such a romantic setting, Livvy?”

I lowered my eyes, maintaining my composure. “You were the one who suggested we discuss the cases.”

Connor raised his eyebrows, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth. “Fair point. I suppose it’s better than sitting in silence.”

I straightened in my chair, adopting my professional demeanor. “There are three more contract disputes

pending trial, and two intellectual property cases that require extensive research.”

My expression grew focused as I outlined each case’s complexities. The familiar rhythm of legal analysis

helped me feel more comfortable in this charged atmosphere.

Connor leaned back in his chair, his gaze never leaving my face. He listened with complete attention, as if

this dinner truly was solely for discussing work.

“The intellectual property cases are particularly challenging,” I continued. “The defendants are claiming prior art that predates our clients‘ patents by several months.”

“What’s your strategy for countering their claims?” Connor asked, his voice genuinely interested.

I was surprised by his engagement. “I assumed you wouldn’t be interested in these details. They’re relatively minor matters, hardly worth an Alpha CEO’s attention.”

Connor’s expression turned serious, his playful demeanor shifting to something deeper. “Olivia, I’m listening intently because this is your work. Your passion. Something you care about.”

His words carried unexpected weight/ “I respect and support your career completely. Every case matters

because it matters to you.”

“Thank you,” I said quietly, feeling warmth spread through my chest. “That means more than you know.”

We continued discussing the legal intricacies throughout dinner. Connor asked thoughtful questions and offered insights from a business perspective that I hadn’t considered.

By the time we finished our meal, the sun had begun to set outside the restaurant’s tall windows. The golden light cast long shadows across our table.

“I need to return to Moonstone Legal Partners,” I said, checking my watch. “There are briefs to review before tomorrow’s depositions.”

“Thank you for dinner,” I said as he prepared to get into the driver’s seat. “And for listening to my work concerns.”
