I spent a good ten minutes just sitting in the living room, staring at the velvet box I placed on the coffee table.
This was all that mattered now.
My heart was doing this weird, fluttery thing after I succeeded in shutting out Cha Hyun-woo's confession.
I've given the Alphas things before—mostly my compliance or a fake smile—but this was different. This was me saying, 'I see you.' The real them. Not the monsters from my nightmares, but the men who spent their afternoon digging a hole for a tree just because I asked.
The front door opened, and the silence was immediately murdered.
"If I have to sign one more merger agreement, I'm going to start a fire," Seo-Jun's voice boomed through the foyer. He sounded exhausted but wired, the scent of expensive wine and stress following him in.
I think he had a pretty good time signing those mergers, haha.
