Chapter 100
Olivia didn’t hesitate before jumping to her feet. She fixed a smile on her face for effect and reached for the wine glass. “Our Alpha isn’t feeling well today and really shouldn’t be drinking.
I’ll be happy to take his place.”
Her heart hammered against her ribs as she lifted the glass to
her lips. But before the contents could flow into her mouth, the
glass was suddenly snatched from her grasp.
“You don’t have to drink. Sit down,” Alexander said, putting the
glass back on the table.
What was that about? Yve piped up.
I don’t know, Olivia responded. He seemed indifferent to me.
No. He sounded concerned. Protective even. I don’t understand
why.
However, it wasn’t just Yve who’d noticed Alexander’s
confusing tone. The entire room had gone completely silent. No
one said a single word. The only sound was that of Ethan’s teeth
clenching as he gripped the glass in his hand so tightly that
Olivia feared it might shatter.
Others wore varying facial expressions. Korbin and Felix
frowned at them. Ben seemed thoughtful. And Gal, his eyes
constantly darted around the room, as he pretended not to have
seen the interaction.
His behavior still wasn’t clear to Olivia even as she sat down
obediently beside him. She stole glances at his side profile,
searching for some clue to decode what had transpired. But
Xander wasn’t revealing anything.
Korbin finally broke the agonizing silence. “Looks like you’re
quite the compassionate leader, Alpha Alexander,” he said with
a casual, playful tone.
The statement was far from innocent. Korbin was trying to
create a reality that painted Alexander as a man who wouldn’t spare Ben Wilde even five minutes of his time. Yet, here he was
intervening on behalf of a woman.
Alexander smiled faintly. He perfectly understood the game Korbin was playing. “Perhaps you could assist me instead,” he said smoothly, gesturing toward the abandoned wine glass in front of him. “I find myself… indisposed.”
As if to emphasize his point, Alexander turned slightly and released a series of weak coughs into his hand. Korbin’s jaw tightened. It was a clear command, and he couldn’t think of a way to refuse without blatantly disrespecting a powerful
Alpha.

He reached for the glass angrily and drained it in one swift motion. His face grew even redder as the liquid went down his throat. Once the glass was empty, he set it on the table with
to his secretary who had remained standing at attention near
the wine bottles. He waved his hand at the younger man.
“Please, stand down.”
Despite Ben’s acceptance of Alexander’s state of health, it was
clear to everyone in the room that the Alpha’s performance
hadn’t convinced a single soul.
But Ben had to play his cards right. He was well aware that
Green group was under Alexander’s control. He couldn’t risk
offending him.
It was too late for that.
“Mr Wilde.” Alexander fixed a polite smile on his face as he
addressed Ben. However, there was a certain chill in his eyes
that indicated he was in a far from pleasant mood. “I do
appreciate advance notice when additional parties will be
joining our discussions.”
To his credit, Ban maintained his cheerful demeanor. “I
apologize, Alpha. I was only concerned you won’t show up.”
Felix jumped in immediately. “Alexander, I was hoping for another opportunity to discuss the loan for our project. I can promise you that it won’t interfere with the project’s progress in
