Chapter 167: The Alpha’s Jealousy
(Olivia’s POV)
The volume of cases at Moonstone Legal Partners continued to increase dramatically. We had recently recruited a new batch of lawyers and legal assistants to handle the growing workload.
The human resources, finance, and administration departments had also expanded by hiring several new employees. With the firm’s rapid growth, our rules and regulations had become increasingly refined and
professional.
I clearly felt that everyone’s work enthusiasm had improved significantly lately. Efficiency had increased substantially across all departments.
I had to admit that Connor Rivers‘ “courtship gestures” were really working. His frequent visits and generous treatment of the staff had created a positive atmosphere that motivated everyone.
The only thing giving me a headache was that Connor Rivers visited the law firm two or even three days out of the five–day work week. He claimed it was to “inspect work,” but in reality, only the Moon Goddess knew
what he was really thinking.
Every time he arrived, the female employees at the firm became as excited as if they’d been injected with adrenaline. They would steal glances at the handsome Alpha and lose all focus on their work.
Their wolves were clearly responding to his powerful presence, making concentration impossible.
This afternoon, Connor arrived again. He walked into my office with familiar ease, settling onto the sofa with the relaxed confidence of someone who owned the place.
He casually prepared himself a cup of tea from the service set I kept for clients.
I kept my eyes fixed on my computer screen, writing legal documents without even lifting my eyelids. I treated the noble and elegant Alpha sitting in my office as if he were invisible.
Connor sat quietly on the sofa drinking his tea. He was careful not to disturb my work with any sound.
Connor took two sips of tea and gently placed the cup on the coffee table. He crossed his long legs casually and let his gaze settle on me.
From this angle, he could clearly see my profile. I wore light makeup for work, my honey–brown hair clipped back professionally.
My light coffee–colored suit gave me an air of professional competence mixed with feminine strength. The perfect image of an accomplished Luna, I supposed.
Connor’s deep blue eyes studied me intently. His Adam’s apple bobbed unconsciously as his wolf stirred with obvious desire.
I could feel the intensity of his stare burnin

Chapter 167: The Alpha’s
Looking directly at each other, Connor stared at me openly without any attempt to hide his desire. My typing fingers paused on the keyboard and I frowned slightly.
Finally unable to tolerate it anymore, I spoke with clear displeasure. “Alpha Connor, are you very idle?”
“No,” the man’s voice rose with obvious pleasure. “I’m stealing time from my busy schedule.”
I snorted coldly. “Is Alpha Connor worried about our law firm? Coming to inspect work every few days.”
Connor looked at me, pursing his lips as he responded. “I am worried, but it’s not about your law firm–it’s about a certain someone.”
“A certain someone?” I frowned in confusion.
Connor’s lips parted slightly as he clarified. “Adrian Sinclair.”
I fell speechless for a moment before asking. “Did Adrian offend you somehow?”
Connor asked with a smile. “Trying to steal my mate–does Lawyer Winters think that counts as offending
me?”
I remained silent, the implication clear. The tension in the room thickened like fog.
After a moment of frozen silence, Connor grinned with obvious pride. “But my mate isn’t so easily stolen. I’ve noticed that young wolf has been looking miserable these past few days–he’s probably been rejected by his intended target.”
I rolled my eyes at him and pointed to a pile of A4 papers on my desk. “If you’re really that idle, go help me take this pile of waste paper to the shredder.”
“Alright,” Connor agreed readily. He immediately stood up and strode over with his long legs to pick up the pile of papers.
However, he didn’t leave right away. Instead, he leaned down close to me, lowering his voice to ask. “Lawyer Winters, you haven’t told me where the shredder is yet.”
Too close–the Alpha’s appealing woody cologne scent flooded directly into my nose. Connor’s voice was deliberately low and sexy, carrying a hint of huskiness that made my heart skip a beat.
He was definitely doing this on purpose.
My cheeks flushed red with anger. “Can’t you see that huge shredder sitting right there?”
