âNo.
â
The question Carlos asked reminded me of Debra, particularly the moment when she and Andrew were holding hands before they left.
That scene was engraved in my mind and I couldnât help but feel more depressed.
However, Carlos couldnât sense my feelings, so he continued to question me.
âThen why on earth did she leave? Canât you just tell me?â
Couldnât this moron sense I was in a bad mood?
âHe has been working for you for many years.
Donât you know him well enough?â Damien grunted.
âYou have to explain everything to him clearly.
Otherwise, he wonât understand.
â
âAlexandria is here.
How can I talk about my personal affairs in the presence of an outsider?â I retorted.
As we chatted, Carlos kept urging me, âWhy? Tell me!â
I rubbed my throbbing temples and sighed.
âGet out of here!â I snapped coldly.
âLeave me alone!â
Carlos was taken aback.
âWhatâs wrong with you, Caleb? Iâm worried about you.
Why do you have to be mean to me?â
I realized my attitude was awful and apologized to him.
âIâm sorry.
Iâm a little upset; not in the mood to talk about it.
â
Carlos sighed and patted my shoulder.
Understanding my situation, he stopped questioning me and left the office silently.
I rubbed my throbbing temples.
Although my love for Debra had disappeared, she was still special to me.
Her presence seemed to affect my mood as well.
When I was distracted, Alexandria picked up the documents on the floor, sorted them, and placed them back on my desk.
She walked to me and asked, âAlpha, I saw Luna get in the car and leave with another man today.
Are you angry because of that?â
My face darkened instantly.
I stared at her coldly.
âIf I remember correctly, you live far away from my villa.
How did you see it?â
Alexandria hurriedly explained, âYou got hurt yesterday, didnât you? Luna just came back.
I was worried that she wouldnât be able take good care of you, so I came here early to see if I could help you with anything.
I didnât expect to see Luna leave with another man.
â
The explanation infuriated me even more.
I took a deep breath and said, âAlexandria, I have more than one servant in my house to look after me.
Focus on your job.
You donât have to waste your time on other things.
â
âOkay,â Alexandria said in a shaky voice as tears welled up in her eyes.
Calebâs POV:
After a grueling morning-to-afternoon grind, I finally wrapped up the dayâs work and started packing.
Just as I was about to head back home, Carlos materialized out of thin air.
âHey!â Carlos threw an arm around my shoulder with a grin.
âFeeling beat from the grind, huh? How about we grab a drink?â
