Chapter 37
“...CEO. What brings you here...?”
It felt like Yoon Taeo was filtering out my voice. Even though my words must have clearly reached his ears, he didn’t respond.
“...Ugh...!”
All I could do was watch as the tips of his fingers turned ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ white from gripping Gyuil’s head so tightly, and Gyuil’s face flushed a deep red. Clearly, something was happening between them that I wasn’t aware of.
“S-Stop...!”
Gyuil’s breathing became erratic, like he was struggling to catch his breath. He tore his hand away from mine and grabbed Yoon Taeo’s wrist, desperately trying to pry it off his head. But it was as ineffective as a child’s resistance. Maybe... the problem wasn’t just the hand gripping his head.
“CEO! Please, stop... calm down!”
A terrifying thought crossed my mind — was Yoon Taeo releasing Alpha pheromones right now? Without another second to waste, I rushed over and grabbed his arm.
“Why does Secretary Kim always handle things like this? Does it not matter how the job gets done as long as it gets done? Or is it just easier to get by with that pretty face?”
Still gripping Gyuil’s head, Yoon Taeo finally turned to look at me.
“...Hiccup...!”
He definitely took the pheromone suppressant. There’s no way an Alpha’s pheromones should affect me. My body is practically Beta-like right now. But for some reason, it felt like the air was choking me, like my knees were about to give out. The diaphragm attached to my frail chest tightened painfully, and a hiccup slipped out.
