Alpha's Regret: Losing His True Mate

Johnny only responded with a flat "oh" and didn’t say anything further. He stepped closer to Elodie, tapping his pen against a section of his notebook. "Hey, take a look at this part. Does the logic hold up?"

Elodie leaned in, scanning the notes for a moment before nodding. "Yeah, that tracks. Let me cross-reference it with the current build."

She turned back to her laptop, her fingers already moving across the keys.

Seeing this, Sienna spoke up, although her tone was casual but it was persistent. "Which section are you working on? I’d love to take a look if you don’t mind sharing."

Johnny’s response was immediate and cold. "Miss Brown, I’m in the middle of something right now. Not really the best time."

Sienna opened her mouth to reply, but Elodie had already walked over to Johnny, rattling off a string of data points without looking up from her screen.

The moment Elodie stepped closer, Sienna’s expression shifted. Her eyes went cold, her jaw tightening just slightly.

Elodie hadn’t planned on acknowledging her at all. But when she glanced up and saw Sienna staring at her, practically glaring, she met her gaze head-on for a brief, icy second before turning back to Johnny and continuing their discussion.

Sienna had her own work to handle, so she turned on her heel and walked back into the meeting room.

Rex and the others were deep in conversation about contract details when she entered. Rex looked up, noticing the subtle tension in her posture. "Everything okay out there?"

Rex and Yves hadn’t been close enough to hear what Sienna and Johnny had actually discussed.

From their vantage point, it had looked like a normal, even pleasant conversation.
