After I left Alpha father and son went crazy with regret

hapter 91

Nora gave Cole a somewhat nervous look. She didn’t want onlookers to get the wrong idea about their relationship. After all, Cole had suspected her before.

But surprisingly, Cole just smiled and said nothing.

Nora’s protests were drowned out by laughter.

The crowd had already accepted their own version of reality. Nora exhaled, shaking her head as she resigned herself to the misunderstanding.

She looked down at her grilled meat, not noticing the slightly thoughtful look Cole was giving her.

Abby, ever the free spirit, soon found herself engrossed in playing with other children around the campsite.

That left Cole and Nora alone once again, the crackling of the fire filling the space between them.

For a long moment, neither of them spoke.

It wasn’t uncomfortable, but there was an underlying tension–one neither of them addressed.

Finally, Cole broke the silence. “How’s work going?”

Nora turned her gaze toward him. “Fine.”

Cole studied her expression. “Leo’s known to be strict. You think you’ll be alright?”

There was a flicker of something in her eyes–surprise, maybe? Amusement? It was brief. “You sound like you think I’m just some assistant fetching coffee,” she remarked, a small smirk playing on her lips.

Cole frowned slightly. “Aren’t you?”

Nora let out a soft laugh, “No, Cole. I’m not.”

He could sense she wasn’t going to elaborate, so he didn’t push. Still, the realization that she held a significant role at Stardust Studios gnawed at him.

He thought about Leo–how ruthless and demanding he was in the industry.

The thought of Nora being under that kind of pressure made something in him tighten.
