Chapter 44

• Alpha Alexander’s POV
• Clad in my tailored suit, I strode purposefully towards the office exit, my movements crisp and decisive. The usual hum of activity that filled the office had dwindled to a mere whisper as my departure caught the attention of those still present, including Cassie, who watched with wide eyes, clearly taken aback by my uncharacteristic early exit. I met her gaze briefly, noting the surprise that flickered across her features before offering a small, knowing smile. It was rare indeed for me to leave the office before closing time, and I sensed Cassie's curiosity as she processed the unexpected turn of events.
• With a nod to those still lingering in the office, I made my way towards the exit, the sound of my footsteps echoing through the quiet space. As I passed by Cassie, I resisted the urge to offer a subtle wink; I didn’t want her reading too much into this after her approach earlier. Instead, I gave her a silent acknowledgment of the intrigue my departure had sparked. I knew I couldn't stay here after what had happened earlier. I couldn't be thinking about my assistant after seeing Vanessa with Richard Hilton. That shouldn't even cross my mind. I have a strong rule against fraternization in this company, and Cassie is about to cross the line.
