Chapter 229 - 15: Killian’s accident
Nathaniel was never the same after that call. Killian had no idea why, but he could feel the alpha was avoiding him. Why? After that kiss they shared, and that sweet moment in his office. He was saddened and confused. A bit angry too.
Is the director just messing with his feelings? It weighed on his mind, that he kept committing minor mistakes on work, but surprisingly, the deputy director did not call for him, not even once.
"Killian! Let’s go have lunch together!"
On the brighter side, Emily went back to normal. Killian sighed and waved at his friend waiting outside the Payroll Division’s office. He organized his table first before leaving.
"I heard there is a new menu in the cafeteria. Let’s go quickly," Emily tugged on his sleeves and dragged him to the elevator.
On their way out, they bumped into the chairman and the deputy director. Killian bowed at them and quickly moved away. He was still upset, so he ignored his boss. However, Emily spoke to them.
"Hello, chairman, are you going out for lunch too?" Emily asked politely.
Steve, the real one, nodded. "Yes. Are you going as well?"
"Yes, sir. We heard there’s a new menu in the company’s cafeteria, so we’ll try it out. Would you like to join us, sir?"
Steve furtively glanced at the real chairman, but Nathaniel was staring at Killian without a care in the world. Steve sighed. His master had been acting strangely after meeting the payroll employee, but he also noticed how that change was positive.
Nathaniel’s expression became more relaxed but looked...excited, now he’s back to that stoic and always business-minded person.
