Chapter 176

Leo hesitated, scanning the page again as if confirming something.

"You could say that. Bran isn't just any applicant... he's the third son of the Dark Pack Alpha. His family expected him to be a diplomat, maybe even an economic strategist for the pack. But two years ago, he abandoned everything and switched to jewelry design. It caused a massive uproar.”

Nora blinked in surprise. That explained a lot... his confidence, his refined

speech, and his boldness. He wasn't just a promising designer; he was a runaway noble.

"His family's still looking for him," Leo added, lowering his voice. "They'd never expect him to sneak into STARLINE Studios for a job."

Nora frowned, tapping a pen against the desk. She didn't care about pack politics, but she did care about

talent.

Bran had potential, but was his defiance a sign of reckless impulsivity or genuine passion?

"I don't care about his background," she finally said. "If he can prove himself, he stays. If he's here for some personal drama, I won't tolerate distractions."

Leo chuckled. "Spoken like a true leader."

Meanwhile, Bran sat alone in a quiet café. His sharp jawline and piercing eyes made him stand out even in a room full of stylish professionals.

Though a few women eyed him with interest, none dared approach.

His rigid posture and the coldness in his expression made it clear... he was in no mood for company.

As he stirred his untouched coffee, his phone vibrated in his pocket. He picked it up without checking the

caller ID.

"How did the interview go?" A playful voice came through. "Did Nora fall for your charms? Or did she see right through you?"

Bran didn't respond, merely twirling the spoon in his cup.

The voice on the other end continued, a mocking lilt in his tone. "You should try a different approach. Make her fall for you. And then... "A low chuckle. "Destroy her. Teach her what happens when someone like her thinks she can ignore you."

A flicker of something unreadable passed through Bran's eyes.
