Chapter 58: The Breakfast Gesture

Chapter 58: The Breakfast Gesture

(Elena’s POV)

The next morning, I walked out of the Moonhaven Estate Great Hall and saw Catherine Hayes cleaning up the dinner on the table. She was throwing the untouched food away with obvious disappointment.

“Why didn’t anyone eat such a good dinner? It’s so hot, what a waste!” Catherine muttered as she scraped the plates.

I pursed my lips, watching her dispose of the meal I had personally prepared yesterday. I had even sent Marcus a message about it, but he never came home.

It seemed that yesterday’s confrontation at the Blackwood Consortium had truly angered him. The dinner I’d made with my own hands had gone completely untouched.

Catherine Hayes noticed my expression and approached me gently. “Miss Elena, perhaps you should bring breakfast to Alpha Marcus today”

She smiled encouragingly “You used to prepare his morning meals personally. He always appreciated those gestures”

I considered her suggestion. Maybe a small peace offering would help ease the tension between us.

“That’s a good idea,” I agreed. TI prepare something now”

I spent the next hour in the Moonhaven Kitchen, carefully preparing Marcus’s favorite breakfast items. I packed everything neatly in an insulated container and headed to the Blackwood Consortium Tower.

At the Blackwood Consortium, the receptionist recognized me immediately. Her attitude was completely different from yesterday’s chaos

“Good morning. Mrs. Blackwood, she greeted me warmly. “How may I assist you today?”

Theld up the breakfast container“i brought this for Alpha Marcus. Could you please deliver it to him?”

The receptionist’s eyes lit up with helpful enthusiasm. “Of course! I’d be happy to take it directly to his office.”

I shook my head politely. “Actually, could you pass it to Amber Stone instead? She’ll know what to do with it.”

The receptionist looked slightly surprised but nodded. “Certainly I’ll contact her right away”
