Alpha's Regret: Losing His True Mate

After dinner, on the drive home, Rex was thinking about calling his father.

But before he could, his phone rang. Reed Hardin. Calling him first.

Rex answered. "Hey—"

"How’s the Cole deal going?"

Straight to the point. No pleasantries.

Rex grimaced. "...It didn’t work out. I was actually about to ask for your help."

"What happened?"

Rex sighed. "I offended one of their technical staff. And Johnny’s backing her, so now he won’t even talk to me—"

"What’s her name?" Reed cut in.

Rex blinked, a little surprised his father cared about the details. "Uh... Elodie."

Silence on the other end.

Then Reed let out a long breath and laughed. Actually laughed. "So let me get this straight. You haven’t even closed the deal yet, and you’ve already managed to piss off their core technical person. That’s impressive, son. Really."
