Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard)

Chapter 44 Master

The tension cracked the moment Richard came storming out after

Rebecca.

He spotted Alistair and immediately scoffed, his lips curling into a sneer, "Well, what do we have here?"

No one answered.

Rebecca's eyes were already red, but the second she saw Alistair, her expression wavered, and they brimmed with deeper hurt.

She looked devastated.

When their eyes briefly met and Alistair turned away without a word, she looked even more heartbroken.

Richard hated being ignored-by anyone. Whether it was Rebecca or Alistair, it bruised his ego all the same.

"Alistair, let's be clear here. You're divorced. You've got no reason to be here, so stop hanging around like a stray dog."

Alistair glanced at him-once, lazily, with the kind of contempt

that said more than any insult could. His eyes all but spelled out the word- pathetic.

Richard reached for Rebecca's wrist. "Don't bother with him. Let's go."

She yanked her hand back with a glare he didn't recognize. "Get away from me." Alistair, who'd already turned to leave, paused mid-step.

Wait. What?

Weren't they supposed to be the kind of couple who couldn't keep their hands off each other, the type who fed each other dessert in public and called it romance?

If they argued at all, it should be over Richard glancing too long at a waitress- Rebecca would lose it, accuse him of betrayal, and then make him beg for forgiveness.

But this? This looked like a breakup. Like she wanted him gone for good.

Did I get this all wrong?

Then again, it didn't concern him.

"Let's go, Alban," he said quietly.

"Yes, sir. This way."
