I felt my face was about to hit Xander’s leg.
“…Oops!”
Terrified, I instinctively reached out to stop myself, and then… my hands touched his thigh.
My wolf screamed with terror, “SOPHIA!! WE ARE DONE!!”
My eyes widened, and I froze for five seconds before pulling my hands back. I was so embarrassed, my soul almost left
soul almost left my body.”
Xander’s pale face flushed slightly.
The other three in the elevator’s eyes nearly popped out:“…?!”
Summer quickly pulled me back. Liam and Zane silently averted their blindness. They hadn’t seen anything…

I lowered my head, holding my forehead, my fingers rubbing back and forth, my face burning. We reached the 13th floor. I was extremely grateful I didn’t live on the 23rd or 33rd floor; otherwise, I would have passed out before reaching home.
Summer politely said goodbye, pulling me out of the elevator at what felt like lightning speed on her high heels. The elevator doors slowly closed.
Zane and Liam simultaneously stole a glance at Xander. He remained cool and relaxed, aloof, as if the person whose leg had just been touched wasn’t him… except for the slightly flushed face.

“Come clean; what’s going on between you and the big shot?!” Summer interrogated me as soon as we entered my apartment.
I hadn’t recovered from the shock of touching my boss’s thigh.“Get me some heart attack medicine.”
“Don’t change the subject!”
I was close to tears. I had no choice but to tell her the whole story of how I met Xander and became his secretary. I hadn’t intended to keep it a secret; recently, the bonding severance had been the main focus, and whenever we met, that’s what we discussed. We didn’t mention anything else.
Summer listened with amazement.“Wow, such unexpected coincidences… Is it fate, with the matchmaker arranging for you to find your true destiny? Maybe he is your fated te? Have you considered that?”
I was speechless.

“First, he will never like me. Second, I don’t need a fated mate. Third, he’s just my boss, and I’m just his subordinate. He happened to need a secretary, and I needed to escape Jason’s network,

“With such a handsome guy around, can you really resist him?” Summer continued to joke with me. She didn’t want her best friend to be emotionally unavailable. But clearly, I had gotten rid of my love–brain.
“Do you
think Xander is the kind of werewolf who allows me to lose control and do whatever I want? He is the youngest alpha of MoonCloud Pack! Wake up!”
“The last woman who couldn’t resist him, according to Zane, even loved him. A long time ago, when she wanted to hug him, he almost, threw her out of the car.”
- “If I dare to have any improper thoughts about him, if I touch him, he will drown me in a river.”
I spoke with a serious expression. Summer paused, then offered comfort, “Don’t be so pessimistic. You just touched his thigh, and he didn’t do anything to you. Have confidence in your beauty.”
The mention of it made my face burn.“What do you mean I touched his thigh? You suddenly pushed me forward, and if I hadn’t reached out to stop myself, my face would have been buried in his…” I couldn’t bring myself to say the last two words.
“Hahahahaha…”
Summer laughed, collapsing onto the sofa, probably imagining the scene.
After we had finished laughing, Summer understood that there was nothing I rolled my eyes. between me and Xander. It was understandable; even after seven years with Jason, even if the love turned to hate and a decisive bonding severance, completely erasing those feelings wouldn’t
be easy.
