After I left Alpha father and son went crazy with regret

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.

For a long moment, neither of them spoke.

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

Nora turned her gaze toward him. “Fine.”

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

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