Chapter 114

Roman’s POV Post

I arrived at the hospital carrying a few things I’d picked up for Camila’s Grandma Amelia. Since she was older and had just recovered from a serious health scare, I thought it was only proper to pay her a visit.

I wasn’t expecting to hear laughter coming from her room.

There seemed to be several people inside, judging by the overlapping voices. I approached the door and was about to knock when a familiar voice reached me. I recognised it immediately. It belonged to the man who had gone on a blind date with Camila.

Before I could make sense of his presence there, another male voice joined the conversation. “Oh, I know who you mean. That big brother, right?”

I paused. The name wasn’t mentioned, but the teasing tone told me the conversation had taken an interesting turn. Then I heard Camila’s voice. “What big brother? There’s no one like that! We’re just friends. Actually, we’re not even particularly close. You people should stop making things up. There’s absolutely nothing

between us!”

I raised an eyebrow. She sounded unusually eager to defend herself.

A moment later, the other man laughed. “I haven’t even mentioned a name. How did you know who I was talking about? Unless you actually like him?”

“Like him? Have you lost your mind? Of course not!”

I remained where I was, my hand still suspended near the door.

So she didn’t like me? I wasn’t sure why that particular answer bothered me, but it did.

“Who are you all talking about?” Amelia’s voice interrupted. Camila quickly brushed it aside. “Nobody important, Grandma. Don’t mind him. He’s just talking nonsense.”

Nobody important. A dry smile crossed my face. I looked down at the gifts in my hand. It seemed I’d chosen a rather inconvenient time for my visit. Without knocking, I turned away and headed towards the nurses‘ station. I placed the bags on the counter..“Please distribute these among the nurses,” I told the attendant.

She looked from the gifts to me, clearly confused. “Alpha, aren’t you here to see a patient?”

“I was.”

I didn’t bother explaining further. After all, I wasn’t sure I wanted to walk into a room where I’d just been declared unimportant.

Camila’s POV

“Grandma, you’re not going to get any more answers out of me,” I said, giving her a helpless look. “I don’t have a boyfriend, and I’m not secretly seeing anyone.”

Kent laughed and Mateo laughed but Grandma still looked unconvinced. I knew better than to remain there. She would find another way to return to the subject, and I wasn’t in the mood to defend my non–existent love

life.

“I’ll leave you two to keep her company. I need some fresh air.”

I slipped out before Grandma could ask another question. I hadn’t gone far when a nurse approaching from

the nurses‘ station called me.,“Miss Hart?”

I turned towards her. “Yes?”

had a special visitor earlier.”

I stopped. “A visitor?”

She nodded. “Someone came by with some gifts. He didn’t enter the room, though. He left everything with us and went away.”

I looked at her with renewed interest. “When did this happen?”

“Just a little while ago.”

I hesitated. “Could you describe the visitor?”

The nurse seemed to consider it. “Quite a striking–looking man. Very well–dressed, too.”

My mind immediately went to Roman. Could it have been him?

I didn’t have a photograph of Roman to show her, and I wasn’t about to jump to conclusions. But if he had come all the way here, why hadn’t he come inside? Had something happened? Or had he overheard the conversation inside?

I replayed the earlier discussion in my head. Everyone had been teasing me about my love life, but I hadn’t said

anything particularly offensive. I’d only denied having a boyfriend. That was the truth, after all. Still, the thought of Roman leaving without seeing me made me uneasy.

I hurried towards the elevators and pressed the button repeatedly, impatient for the doors to open. Once downstairs, I searched the hospital entrance and the surrounding area, hoping to catch sight of him. There was no sign of anyone familiar.

I walked towards the main gate and looked around again. Nothing.

Perhaps I’d got it wrong. Maybe the visitor had been someone else entirely.

I took out my phone and opened Roman’s chat. Me: Have you started your day already?

His reply arrived a few minutes later. Roman: Yes, at the office now. Why?

I stared at the screen. His answer was brief, but that wasn’t unusual. Roman could be rather curt when he

was occupied with work. Besides, it was already morning, so there was nothing strange about him being at

NEXZONE.

Me: Nothing important. Just checking up on you.

put my phone away. If he was at the office, then perhaps the visitor hadn’t been him after all. I gave the hospital entrance one final glance before turning back towards Grandma’s room.

Roman’s POV

I tossed my phone onto the passenger seat and started the engine.

That woman could be incredibly frustrating. She had no problem accepting my help, spending the night under the same roof with me, and even sharing meals with me. Yet, when someone asked whether she liked me, she had been quick to deny it. Not that I expected her to confess anything. I wasn’t particularly interested in hearing it either. So why was I still irritated?

Her words kept replaying in my head. Like him? Have you lost your mind? I tightened my grip on the steering wheel. If she didn’t like me, who did she have in mind? That fellow who had gone on a blind date with her? Or

was she still carrying a torch for Julian?

The thought alone annoyed me. Five years with that bastard, and she had given him everything. What exactly had she seen in him? The man had betrayed her, and yet, she had spent years believing he was worth he time. Perhaps Camila wasn’t as good at judging people as she thought.

I let out a sharp breath. It was none of my business. We had a business agreement, and that was all. (four contract hadn’t already been signed, I might have reconsidered the entire arrangement.

By the time I reached NEXZONE, my mood had deteriorated further.

I walked into the office and went straight to the conference room, where several project proposals were waiting for my review.

The first one barely held my attention. “What is this?” I dropped the file onto the table. “Who approved his proposal?”

Nobody answered immediately. I picked up another document and scanned the figures. “And this one? Have you people stopped checking your work before bringing it to me?”

The room fell silent. One after another, I rejected the proposals, pointing out flaws that should have been noticed long before they reached my desk. I wasn’t in the mood to entertain careless work, and everyone present knew it.

When the meeting ended, I returned to my office. I had barely settled behind my desk when someone knocked.

“Come in.”

Susan walked in with a bright smile and a folder in her hand.

“Alpha Blackwell, I have good news. We’ve secured the partnership with Alpha Philip Clifford.”

I glanced at her without much enthusiasm. “Didn’t I ask you to send me the updated contract first?”

“Yes. Everything has been finalised.” She placed the folder on my desk. “It took quite a bit of work, but I managed to get it done. I’ve barely slept these past few days. I even had to attend several dinners with Alpha Philip to keep the negotiations moving. My stomach hasn’t been feeling well since then.”
