Alpha’s Regret Pregnant Rejected Luna

Chapter 28

Workers scurried away arrival of their formidable employer and CEO. Ethan Dressed impeccably in a

custom-tailored grey suit with matching pants, he exuded an air of authority and elegance as he

gracefully stepped out of his sleek vehicle. His countenance bore seriousness and ridigity.

Today marked a crucial juncture-the selection process for the company that would be awarded the

coveted J.T. contract. The atmosphere hummed with a blend of tension and excitement as company

representatives gathered, hoping to secure the contract bid

As Ethan made his way toward the grand entrance of the Tesco Empire building, a medley of scents

swirled around him, colognes, subtle perfumes, and a palpable nervousness. It was an ordinary day in

the bustling city, yet the significance of the cient filled the air. Just then a familiar scent hit him. He

brushed aside the thought, attributing the familiar scent to mere coincidence, and entered the imposing

building

Moments later, however, that same and particular fragrance stopped him dead in his tracks. Confusion

etched his features as he paused, scanning the faces of those entering the building.

With a resigned sigh, Ethan continued on his way, dismissing the idea as a figment of his

immagination. “I must be mistaken,” he mumbled under his breath. This wouldn’t be the first time.

Entering the building, he strode confidently toward the elevators, his thoughts focused on the task at

hand. The selection. process was a critical one, and he couldn’t afford to be distracted

Minutes later, Ethan found himself seated at the head of the large deliberation table, the weight of

responsibility and an unshakable sense of unease settling over him like an invisible shroud.

The room was adorned with sleek, modern furnishings and a floor-to-ceiling window that offered a

panoramic view of the city below. Despite the luxurious surroundings, he couldn’t rid himself of the

nagging feeling that something was amiss.

The presentations began, each company vying for the prestigious J.T. contract. As the representatives

spoke and showcased their portfolios, Ethan’s keen eye scrutinized every detail. He couldn’t help but

find fault in nearly every presentation, even those of renowned interior design giants like Big Bang, who

As the hours dragged on, Ethan’s initial impatience grew into a simmering frustration. His agitation

permeated the room, and those present couldn’t help but feel a palpable tension in the air. Whispers of

discomfort circulated among the board members, each silently hoping to avoid drawing his ire. His aura

was foreboding and dangerous.

When the next set of presenters entered the room, they were greeted by a shocking sight. Ethan

with an unsenling, light shade of yellow. A hushed gasp of terror escaped one of the presenters as she

locked eyes with him, and panic overtook her in a heartbeat. She turned on her heel and fied the room

in a wild scramble, leaving her materials behind in her frantic escape.

Ethan, exasperated and fatigued, heaved a deep sigh, the aura around him dissipating as his eyes

returned to their natural color. The board members sat in rigid silence, their boss was in a notably foul

mood, and none wished to incur his wrath

Ethans foul mood showed a gradual dissipation, although his wolf was still on the edge, something

itched at the edges of his consciousness like a persistent whisper. He attempted to dismiss the

inexplicable sensation, convincing himself that it couldn’t possibly be her; Hazel.

As the next set of presenters was ushered into the boardroom, the scent got stronger.

Hazel and Chloe, entered the boardroom. Hazel’s graceful stride faltered the instant her eyes locked

with Ethan’s piercing gaze Shock reverberated through her, and she stumbled backward, inadvertently

bumping into Chloe. In her startled retreat, everything she had been carrying sl*pped from her grasp,

clattering to the floor and sca t t e r i n g into disarray. Hazel stood for some seconds just staring at

Erlan then she snapped out of it squatting immediately.

With Chloe’s help, they swiftly moved to gather their sca t t e r e d materials, but the prototype lay in a

hopeless state, shattered and beyond repair.

“Starlight?” one of the stakeholders quizzed, his tone laced with disapproval as he glanced through the

you perhaps plan to damage our project just like your prototype

The atmosphere in the room grew tense, and all eyes fixated on Hazel and Chloe. Ethan’s expression

remained inscrutable, his mind racing with a cacophony of emotions and unspoken questions

Im very sorry Just give us a minute, Chlor pleaded, her voice carrying a hint of urgency and apology.

Ethan, though still processing the shock of seeing Hazel after so long, nodded. “Send for the next set,”

he ordered, intending to give Harel time to rearrange hersell.

automatically disqualify them from the bid.

With determined resolve, both Hazel and Chloe attempted to salvage the situation. They decided to

rely on their presentation slides and digital copies of the design. hoping it would be enough to make up

for their shattered prototype.

“Can we get another attempt? Chloe asked the female assistant,

“No. Am sorry but. You’re disqualified.” She said pointedly.

Sinting there, devastation etched across their faces, they realized that their efforts had been in vain.

The prototype was beyond repair

“I’m sorry.” Hazel numbled softly to Chloe, her voice heavy with regret.

Chloe responded with a reassuring squeeze on Hazel’s shoulder. “It’s okay. It’s not your fault.”

Hazel’s phone buzzed, but lost in thought, she chose to ignore it momentarily.

“We should go, Chloe urged, her voice gently coaxing Hazel out of her daze. Hazel complied, slowly

rising from her seat, her und still reeling from the shock of the encounter.

Inwardly, Hazel tried to console herself. Perhaps it was for the best. Working closely with Ethan would

have been a disaster, considering their complicated history. She clung to this thought as a means of

emotional refuge.

As Chloe and Hazel made their way towards the elevator, Chloe’s phone began to ring incessantly. She

hastily answered the call, curiosity and apprehension mingling on her face as she listened to the voice

on the other end.

The excitement in their director’s voice was palpable as she spoke into the phone, urging them to

return to the company immediately. Chloe was about to share the disappointing news of their].T.

proposal when the director abruptly cut her off,

“Oh, forget about J.T.! We’ve received a new offer, the director exclaimed, her enthusiasm radiating

through the phone. “They saw your prototype for J.T. and want to contract us for it. It’s a smaller

company and offer, but it’s an opportunity Come right away!”

With th

those words, the line went dead, leaving Chloe stunned for a moment. She glanced at Hazel, her eyes

brimming with

“We got a new offer, Chloe exclaimed with a sense of exhilaration.

“Really!” Hazel responded, a glimmer of hope rekindling in her eyes.

Chloe nodded vigorously in affirmation. “Yes, we did!”

Hazel couldn’t help but smile at the unexpected turn of events. She remembered her mother’s words.

“When Go d closes a door. He opens a window.” With newfound determination, they hurried back to

their company, ready to embrace this fresh opportunity with renewed vigor and hope.

Ethan sat restlessly in his seat. His impatience grew with each passing presentation. Finally, he

couldn’t bear it any longer. “Let’s go on a break,” he announced, rising from his chair and heading out

into the hallway. His thoughts were a whirlwind of confusion and curiosity.

Axel proceeded to jog Ethan’s memory, saying, “Remember, it’s Starlight-the company had won the bid

and was contracted by the COO” Axel stated further.

The portfolio Axel handed him was the very one Starlight had leveraged to secure the first contract bid,

the same document. Ethan had dismissed withour offering it a fair evaluation. As he meticulously

fl*pped through the catalog, he sank deeper into his seat, realizing the exceptional quality it contained.

The designs and concepts he saw intrigued him. He had underestimated Starlight due to their new

status, but the quality of their work spoke for itself.

Decisively, Ethan declared. “Have all the others leave. There’ll be no more interviews or presentations.

I’ve made my choice.”

With a nod, Axel left to deliver the message to the remaining candidates, knowing that the bidding

process had come to an abrupt end.

“We won’t be considering any further bids.”

Upon returning to the office. Axel’s phone dinged with a notification. Axel halted in his tracks, adjusting

his glasses as he read the message.

Ethan remained in his seat still huddled over the documents, swayed by their impressive content.

“Arrange for a bouquet of flowers to be delivered to Luna’s office,” Ethan instructed without shifting his

gaze.

Axel, who had been on the cusp of sharing some information, swiftly complied with the new directive. It

appeared that there might be hope for Ethan’s marriage to Luna. With a resigned sigh, Axel retrieved

his phone.

“Perhaps you’d like to know, Hazel never remarried, he contemplated telling Ethan, but he decided

against it. After all, they were divorced, and it seemed Ethan was now willing to work with his wife. Why

complicate matters further, Axel reasoned.
