Alpha's Regret: Losing His True Mate

After Johnny and Elodie finished ordering, Rex added a couple dishes and they started talking business.

Then the food started arriving.

At first, Rex thought Johnny had been joking about not holding back.

But as plate after plate came out... lobster, wagyu, some kind of rare fish he’d only heard about, his eyes started twitching.

They’d ordered half the premium menu.

Johnny, completely unbothered, kept piling food onto Elodie’s plate. "Elodie, take your time. No rush."

Elodie nodded. "Okay."

Rex just sat there with his jaw tight.

Johnny was absolutely messing with him on purpose.

Not that either of them actually cared about the bill. It was the principle.

As they ate, the conversation shifted back to serious business talk. Timelines, deliverables, technical specs.

Elodie stayed quiet for most of it, only jumping in when she had something to add.
