Chapter 113: Chapter 113

Chapter 113 “Doctor Grayson! Please, have a seat with us,” Rachel said with a polite smile.

“And you are?”

“Hello, I’m Rachel, Miss Selene’s personal secretary.”

Menu “Oh, nice to meet you,” Doctor Grayson replied, his eyes briefly scanning the four men who were watching him intently.

“You came with...” he trailed off, looking at me after a short pause.

“They are members of our company’s board of directors,” Rachel clarified.

One by one, the men extended their hands to shake Grayson’s.

“Please, join us.”

They pulled out a chair for him next to me. As Grayson sat down, he offered an apology.

“Sorry if I interrupted anything.”

“Not at all, Doctor Grayson. In fact, it’s a lucky coincidence that we get to meet you. By the way, it’s my birthday,” Mr. Steele said with a grin..

Being a bachelor, he was soon set to marry his longtime girlfriend.

“Happy Birthday,” Grayson offered.

“Thank you kindly.”

“I don’t have a gift for you at the moment.”

“That doesn’t matter. Your presence itself is a gift to me.”

Grayson chuckled and gave him a nod. “Well, I’ll owe you one. I promise that if you ever need my help someday, I’ll be there.

Consider that my gift to you.”

Mr. Steele’s eyes widened, and a broad smile spread across his face.

“This is the best gift I could ask for! If I ever fall ill, there’s no way I’ll be dying anytime soon with Doctor Grayson treating me.”

His words made everyone burst into laughter.

Meanwhile, Grayson turned his attention to me. I had been quietly observing him as he conversed so effortlessly with my associates.

“So? How’s your investigation going?” he asked me casually.

Everyone immediately turned their focus to me, murmuring in curiosity.

“Investigation?”

Not wanting to continue down this path, I quickly cleared my throat. Grayson caught on to my hint and smoothly shifted the conversation.

“Oh, it was just something business–related,” he said.

The topic soon drifted to health concerns, with the board members discussing their family’s medical 1721 Get 5>

issues. Grayson humbly explained that he was merely a healer with a few solutions at his disposal.

Once everyone had finished their drinks, they stood up and bowed slightly toward me.

“Miss Selene, please excuse us.”

I was about to stand as well when Rachel spoke up.

“Boss, I think Doctor Grayson wanted to discuss something with you regarding an investigation. You two should talk. I’ll be heading out as well.

I glanced at Grayson, who seemed quite comfortable in his seat beside me. I was actually interested in conversing with him further on various subjects.

“Alright,” I agreed, giving Rachel permission to leave. Then, I turned my full attention to Grayson.

“As you know, I’m currently the CEO of my pack’s company. Because of that, I had to halt all my medical research.”

Grayson looked genuinely surprised.

“But you were one of the brightest students in the field. What made you abandon your dreams to take on something entirely different?”

“Doctor Grayson, actually-”

“You can just call me Grayson,” he interrupted.

I hesitated. In my family, there were strict traditions–we weren’t supposed to address someone by their first name unless we had a close relationship with them.

“Grayson,” I murmured, testing the name on my lips as he had requested.

“When I first saw you today, I expected to meet the same Selene who introduced herself to me at the council party. But when I arrived, I found you drinking instead,” he noted.

“My parents wanted this. Our pack is vast, and my brother has a lot to handle. So, they decided to divide the responsibilities between us.

“I see.”

Grayson ordered a drink for himself. “Would you like one?” he asked.

“Sure.”

A waiter arrived with a tray and set down our drinks.

Even though I was already feeling a little lightheaded, I continued sipping my drink.

“I want to go home,” I mumbled as I stood up unsteadily.

“I’ll take you,” Grayson offered, rising and placing a steadying hand on my shoulder.

I shook my head slightly. “No, my driver is waiting for me outside.”

“At least let me help you to your car,” he insisted.

I considered it for a moment before nodding.

Grayson guided me outside, making sure I didn’t stumble. He helped me into the back seat of my car and instructed my driver to get me home safely.

17:21 Get 51 Menu < Chapter 113 Before he stepped away, I leaned out of the window.

“By the way, why are you here?” I asked.

He lowered his head slightly as if debating his words before responding.

“Our alliance is over,” he said.

I frowned. “But why was it only for a few months? I thought it would last for years.”

He chuckled, as if amused by my reaction. “It’s just business. No pack can maintain an alliance forever. If we did, we’d eventually end up at war, and no one would gain any new territory.”

I huffed in frustration, pouting as I recalled my brother talking about war as well.

“Why is everyone always talking about war? I hate it.”

“Selene, you don’t have to worry about it. You can always come to me for help,” he reassured me..

I opened my mouth to respond, but before I could say anything, the driver started the car.

“I’m leaving your pack tomorrow after meeting with your brother,” Grayson informed me, standing tall with a composed posture.

I gazed at him through blurry eyes and gave a small wave as my car pulled away toward the pack house.

During the ride, I leaned back and closed my eyes, feeling the alcohol take its toll.

When the car finally stopped, I stepped out, my legs wobbling beneath me. Immediately, the guards rushed toward me to assist.

-They mind–linked Magnus about my condition, and within seconds, he came hurrying outside.

His eyebrows shot up in disbelief. “You’re drunk!”

I smiled sheepishly. “Sorry. I ran into Grayson, so I had a few drinks with him.”

“Grayson? Who’s Grayson?”

“How could you forget him, Magnus? He’s the greatest healer-”

“Doctor Grayson Vale?” Axel interrupted as he stepped out of the pack house.

“Mhm,” I hummed, nodding.

“Axel, help her inside. I’m calling Doctor Grayson,” Magnus ordered.

I waved my hands in protest. “No, brother. Don’t scold him. He’s a gentleman.”

Axel sighed and scooped me up in his arms, carrying me inside. I was utterly exhausted. As he laid me down on my bed, he grumbled, “You never drink with me. But you’ll drink with him?”

I giggled, barely registering his words.

“He’s my mentor. It was just one time.”

Axel shook his head, exhaling in exasperation.

My eyelids grew heavier as darkness closed in around me. Just before I lost consciousness beard 1721 Chapter 113 Axel’s voice in a low tone.

“I almost forgot to tell you–Kane is arriving tomorrow to discuss the alliance.”
