บททั้งหมดของ Stand-In Luna: The Alpha's Real Mate: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

I looked up toward the conference room door.Standing there were Mrs. Johnson and Enna.Though Mrs. Johnson was already in her forties, she was still well-maintained and graceful. Dressed in a simple purple gown, she exuded elegance and nobility.At that moment, however, her expression was one of fury.I figured Enna must’ve tattled to her about the breakfast incident last time, blaming me for everything, which explained why they were here now…Mrs. Johnson scanned the room. Upon noticing that aside from me, Alpha Bruce from La Dame de France fashion house was also present, she at least had the decency to lower her voice.“Wendy, come out here. Now.”Seeing that they were clearly here to pick a fight, I stood up, frowning slightly as I replied coolly, “Is something wrong? I’m in a meeting right now. If you have something to say, please wait for me outside.”“Wendy, you—”Before she could finish, I closed the conference room door and locked it. Then I turned to Bruce with a polite smil

Soon, it was the end of the workday, but I was still buried in work.After organizing the meeting minutes and fine-tuning the proposal until I was confident it was flawless, I brought both documents to Nick’s office.“All done?” Nick looked up as I entered, his expression indifferent as he glanced at me.I nodded, walked over to his desk, and handed him the meeting minutes and proposal.He glanced briefly at the meeting minutes before speaking in a flat tone, “Aren’t you going to walk me through the details?”“I’ve already written everything clearly.” I pointed to the minutes and began explaining each item. “The meeting’s purpose was to discuss the mass production of the ‘Roses Under the Moonlight’ jewelry series, and the following plans.”He was doing this on purpose. I remembered clearly. A few days ago, when Rina brought him the Taylor Pack cooperation proposal, Nick didn’t even look at it and just told her to leave it on his desk.So why was he making me explain every single sente

“Wendy?” Eddy exclaimed in shock. “Isn’t she the one your old Pack Alpha forced on you? I thought you didn’t even like her—why are you freaking out—”“Cut the crap and check her right now.”Nick shot him a cold glare and pointed to the bloodstains on Wendy’s dress. “She’s hurt.”“Injured?” Eddy glanced at the stain, then took her pulse. A second later, he chuckled. “Man, you’re so worked up. It’s not an injury—it’s her time of the month.”“What?” Nick’s expression was blank. “That kind of special time?”He glanced at the sky. It wasn’t even the full moon.Eddy grinned. “I mean her period, dude. The regular kind girls get every month.”Only then did Nick realize what Eddy meant. Right. That kind of ‘special.’“Then why did she faint?” Nick asked again, still not at ease.“She’s got low blood sugar,” Eddy said, glancing at the untouched food on the table. “Probably from irregular meals and exhaustion. She just needs rest.”Nick gave a small nod, and his expression was grim. A flash of r

Dane gallantly pulled out a chair for me and said softly, “I ordered your favorite mocha. Is that alright?”I sat down and took a small sip, lowering my eyes. “Thank you.”“It’s been months, and you’re still as stunning as ever.”I felt a little awkward and changed the subject. “Why are you come back suddenly? If I remember correctly, you signed a six-month endorsement deal in Hollywood.”“I canceled it.” Dane shrugged nonchalantly.“What?” I was shocked. “Going to Hollywood, becoming the world’s top rising sports star—that was your dream, wasn’t it? Why give it up so suddenly?”“What’s a dream compared to love?” A hint of melancholy shimmered in Dane’s eyes. “Wendy, I don’t believe you like Nick. You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you? Trying to push me away?”“Dane, can you not be so emotional?” I snapped a bit. “Whether I like Nick or not has nothing to do with you. And putting your personal goals aside, you should know what kind of consequences breaching a Hollywood contract cou

Standing at the door was a tall, blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl. Her skin was fair, and she wore a fiery red dress that hugged her curves—a picture of allure and charm.“Bonnie? What are you doing here?” Bruce looked surprised.“I missed you, so I flew over to see you,” Bonnie purred as she threw Bruce a flirty wink and pulled him into a passionate kiss.Bruce looked a little awkward. “We have company. Don’t mess around.”It was only then that Bonnie noticed me sitting nearby. She released Bruce and asked, “Who’s she?”“Let me introduce you,” Bruce raised a brow and said, “This is Bonnie, my girlfriend.”Then he gestured toward me and added, “This is Wendy Smith, our partner from the Brown Pack.”“Hello, Bonnie.” I smiled politely. “Bruce, since you’re busy, should we reschedule?”“No need.” Bruce sat down next to me. “I’ve always believed that work comes first. Let’s continue.”I nodded and pulled out a folder. “Here’s the shortlist for the ‘Roses in Moonlight’ ad campaign. Please tak
