Alpha Hayley's Destined Mate by Andrea Townsend

Chapter 427 The Letter

Hayley’s POV:

It was Henry.

When I opened the door, I invited him inside.

Henry gave me a disapproving look. “Boss, you’re finally back. I’ve been waiting forever.”

After saying that, he glanced at Benjamin. “Ben, you’re here too.”

Benjamin gave him a simple nod.

Henry studied both of us for a moment, his frown deepening.

Then he spoke again. “Boss, I can’t shake the feeling that you’re starting to give off the same energy as Ben here. You’re starting to look like an Alpha.”

His comment caught me off guard. I quickly looked at Benjamin, wondering how he would react.

But Benjamin seemed unfazed. His attention was more focused on the envelope Henry was holding.

Relieved, I took the envelope and thanked him. “Thanks.”

“Boss, I’ve delivered everything, so I won’t bother you any longer. I’ve got other things to take care of,” Henry said, turning to leave.

Without further delay, he was gone.
