Chapter 55

Janet’s hand froze on the doorknob.

spot.

She heard that woman saying to Daran in a sweet voice, “Alpha, don’t you ever get tired from all these works? The day is beautiful outside. Let’s go for a picnic. Or go hunting in the forest.”

“I have works to do.”

Daran’s voice was cold. But he didn’t push that woman away.

“You shouldn’t be here in the first place, Salvia. Why didn’t my guards stop you?”

Salvia giggled and leant in even closer, “Your guards know that we are intimate. They walked away when I came in to give us some space. Come on, Daran, don’t be a buzzkill. You know we have a better way of spending this afternoon…A much better way…”

Her hand traveled down Daran’s chest as she spoke and tried to unbutton his shirt.

Daran grabbed her hand forcefully.

Janet couldn’t watch anymore. If she didn’t go in there, the two might start doing it right on the desk soon.

So she flung the door open with a quick sharp movement.

The noise startled the woman named Salvia. She jerked around looking at Janet and snapped, “Why didn’t you knock! The Alpha is busy!”

Janet raised her eyebrow, “Busy with work? Or busy banging you?”

Salvia seemed furious, “Who the hell are you!”

“Janet.”

Daran rose from his chair hastily looking at Janet. He seemed pleased to see her here.

“Are you here to see me?” he asked.

“That depends.” Janet shrugs, glancing at Salvia. “Am I interrupting?”

“No. Of course not,” Daran said firmly.

Then he turned to Salvía, who was glaring at Janet hostilely, and demanded, “Leave us, Salvia.”

“No! I am not leaving you with her!” Salvia cried.

She darted a look at Janet and gritted, “I know who you are. You are Daran’s ex.

Didn’t he reject you already? What are you still doing here? Begging him to take you back?”

“Enough Salvia!” Daran snapped.
