Watch Me Win, Alpha

Chapter 36

Once we settled Alexander onto the bed, Gai turned to me, eyes

narrowing. “What’s wrong with your walk?”

I glanced down, brushing a hand over my leg. “Nothing serious. I

just hit my knee earlier. I’ll take care of it in my room.”

He nodded but didn’t look entirely convinced.

As I was about to turn and leave, I paused in the doorway.

“Actually …” I turned back. “About tomorrow. You go with him

to the summit. I’ll head to the factory. It’s further out, and I’ll

need more time if I’m going to inspect the system properly.“”

Gai studied me for a moment, then gave a single approving nod.

“Smart call.”

There was something reassuring about his calm.

“Let me know if you find anything,” he said, already turning to

adjust the room’s curtains. “And Olivia?”

I looked back.

“Get in touch whenever you need to.”

I nodded. “Will do.”
