After I left Alpha father and son went crazy with regret

Chapter 177

Before she had a chance to react, a voice piped up from nearby. “They’re from Bran… the new guy in the R&D department!”

Nora barely blinked. She wasn’t surprised. She wasn’t particularly moved either.

“Okay, I know,” she said simply, setting the bouquet aside without further comment.

She had work to do.

By noon, she spotted Leo in the corridor and casually asked, “Lunch?”

Leo sighed dramatically. “I wish. My sister is making me go to a couple’s restaurant so she can take a million photos for her social media.”

Nora smirked. She had met Leo’s sister before… a stylish woman with an effortless charm. “Sounds like a tough life,” she teased.

Leo groaned. “You have no idea.”

With a small laugh, Nora waved him off and headed toward the cafeteria.

**Meanwhile, at the Couple’s Restaurant**

Leo arrived at the restaurant as instructed. It was an elegant place, the ambiance intimate and romantic, with soft lighting and beautifully set tables.

Most of the patrons were couples on dates, leaning in close, whispering to each other.

Leo grimaced. He was already dreading this.

Not long after, his sister finally arrived, her eyes lighting up as she surveyed the aesthetic of the place.

“Perfect,” she declared. “This is exactly the kind of vibe I wanted!”

Leo rolled his eyes but said nothing.

That was when someone else walked in.

Charles.
