He accompanied her to her office, which he had never previously seen, although he had heard from both Benzy and Macky that it was spacious and aesthetically pleasing, boasting an impressive view. They were correct; she possessed a vantage point of the city from this location. Acquiring an office of this kind necessitated a promotion or significant financial contributions to the company, which were duly recognised.
He was aware of her fixed annual income determined by the corporation, as well as the commission-based bonuses she would earn for each case she successfully handled. He was not fond of her silence as they exited the building and observed that she was carrying her office chair. She must have purchased it herself.
They departed without encountering Chris and again want to enquire whether she had seen or conversed with him, or if she had proceeded directly to Ben Billy’s office. He settled the account and could only shake his head; Ben had meticulously itemised every minute not only from him but also from all the lawyers he had observed standing behind her at the press conference she had conducted. The man was unequivocally irate.
“How did he anticipate you would be able to settle this bill if you had remained here?””
Bella observed it and shook her head. “I am uncertain.” She retrieved it from him and examined it, frowning herself. “Probable.” deduct my commissions or a portion of each until the total was settled, regardless of the duration required for repayment. “Apologies.” She exhaled while gazing up at him.
“Do not preoccupy yourself with it; it is merely currency.”
“A substantial amount of money,” she exhaled with a heavy sigh.
“Not to me.” He shook his head; the expense of her Luna Ceremony would exceed that amount, yet he remained indifferent, as she was worth every cent he possessed.
“However, for the group.”
“Bella, do not be concerned about it.” “I assure you this poses no issue for the pack; it is acceptable.” He elevated her chin and gazed down at her. “You, dear, have eluded us.” He shifted the topic, desiring to witness her grin, as discussing her termination was not conducive to that aim.
“Indeed, I did.” However, I adhered to all your regulations.
“Oh, is that so?”“He smiled down at her. ‘You discovered that minute loophole and navigated through it, did you not?’”He playfully mocked her slightly.
Ultimately, I witnessed her smile. “Affirmative, I did.” You should contemplate the manner in which you express your thoughts.
He now heard the laughter of both Benzy and Macky. “Please specify what it was to prevent my recurrence of the situation.” He was aware of what it entailed. I aimed to see her maintain her smile, hence engaging her in linguistic play was beneficial.
She shook her head and stated, “No, that’s my secret.” “I will continuously seek and identify those loopholes, just so you are aware.” She appeared thoroughly entertained by him at that moment. He appreciated this aspect of her, valuing her ability to engage with him in this manner.
I could enquire with Macky, you know?”
“Are you suggesting that you might attempt…”
“She gazed up at him with a sweet smile.”
It is possible that I have already instructed him, as his Luna, to never disclose this to you.
He laughed, “You are a cheeky woman.”
She now chuckled to herself.
“Are you truly not upset then?””
He smiled at her and leaned down to kiss her gently. “No, I’m not angry,” he muttered. “However, what father did while you left him in charge remains uncertain.” He seems exceedingly self-satisfied.
Observed her smile directed at him. “He consented to withhold the information of my absence in exchange for assuming control.”
“I understand, you conspired not only with the Gamma but also with the previous Alpha.”
“Indeed, I did,” she affirmed with a nod.
“What transpired with Nora?”He altered the topic of discussion.
Macky sighed, “We are still addressing that issue. I may need to remain here for an extended period.”
Bella informed him, “We can remain for a few days, Macky.” I can begin packing my flat while you spend time with Nora.
“Thank you, Bella.”
“At any moment.” The Luna and Alpha should endeavour to aid all pack members in finding their mates, as it is part of our duty to maintain the pack’s happiness,” she remarked, directing her gaze at him.
Luke merely smiled at her; she was correct. “Indeed, we can remain for several days.” Mother and father will supervise the triplets; may I enquire if you have conversed with Chris yet?It was provoking both him and his beast to ascertain the answer to that question.
“I have,” she affirmed. “He has progressed.”
Macky remarked, “That is an understatement.”
What transpired?Luke enquired out of sheer curiosity, although he was pleased that their relationship had definitively concluded. She was pleased that the man had progressed, likely the reason for his cessation of calls, as he had presumably found another partner.
