Chapter 226: Inexplicable

(Connor’s POV)

I was walking toward the entrance of Moonstone Legal Partners when a familiar voice called out behind me.

“Connor, what a coincidence, you’re here to see Olivia too. Is it about your pack’s legal cases?”

I turned to see Miranda Blackwood approaching with her usual confident stride. Her designer heels clicked against the marble floor as she caught up to me.

Miranda’s question carried a subtle implication that she knew Olivia well enough to assume I was here on business. It also suggested she had her own reasons for visiting the law firm.

I knew Miranda and Olivia had developed a friendship after Olivia successfully saved Miranda’s business from a hostile takeover. Miranda genuinely admired Olivia’s legal skills and respected her character.

But I also knew Miranda’s feelings for me hadn’t changed. Despite our clear boundaries, she still harbored

romantic interest in me.

Her perfectly styled blonde hair caught the afternoon sunlight streaming through the building’s glass facade.

She wore an expensive navy suit that emphasized her status as one of Harbor City’s most successful

businesswomen.

I halted and responded directly. “Not for pack business, just came because I wanted to see her.”

My straightforward answer seemed to surprise Miranda. Her composed facade flickered for just a moment

before she quickly recovered.

“Oh,” she said, her smile becoming slightly strained. “Well, shall we go upstairs together then?”

I nodded curtly, not wanting to make the situation more awkward than necessary.

(Olivia’s POV)

I was standing at Emma Thompson’s desk in the assistant wing, delegating several urgent legal tasks that needed completion before the weekend.

“Emma, please review the Morrison contract amendments and prepare the revised drafts,” I instructed,

handing her a thick folder. “The client needs them by Monday morning.”

Emma nodded eagerly, her pen poised to take notes. “Of course, Ms. Winters. Anything else?”

Through the glass doors, I noticed Connor and Miranda approaching together. My eyebrows raised slightly in

surprise.

Why were the Alpha and the prominent businesswoman arriving at my law firm together?

The colleagues around us began to murmur among themselves. I caught fragments of their whispered

conversations.

“Look how striking they look together…”

“Two of Harbor City’s most powerful figures…”

“They make such an impressive pair…”

Their gossip irritated me, but I maintained my professional composure.

Miranda approached with her trademark smile. “Olivia, I simply encountered Connor downstairs in the lobby. What a pleasant coincidence.”

She seemed eager to prevent any misunderstandings about them arriving together.

Connor interjected immediately. “I didn’t come with her, I just ran into her downstairs.”

His clarification was firm and direct, leaving no room for interpretation.

“Mmm,” I responded calmly, showing indifference to their explanation.

I continued assigning work to Emma, focusing on the legal briefs that needed attention. Miranda waited patiently beside us.
