THE ALPHA IN DISGUISE のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

After Pedro finished dancing with the birthday celebrant, he returned to their table only to find Adrienne absent. Worry instantly flooded his being, urging him into immediate action.Rushing out of the function hall, he sought assistance from a hotel employee. "Have you seen a woman? She was wearing a black dress, had straight hair, and wore a necklace with a blue diamond pendant?""Yes, I did see her! I noticed her in the garden, where she was drinking," the employee responded.Without a second thought, Pedro sprinted towards the garden, his heart pounding in his chest. As he arrived, a sight beyond belief unfolded before his eyes. A man was harassing Adrienne, his actions threatening to cross boundaries.Pedro's protective instincts ignited, and he swiftly intervened, unleashing his fury upon the man, regardless of his own blurred vision. The assailant was no match for Pedro's wrath.He pulled Adrienne away from the scene, leading her toward one of the hotel rooms. Grabbing a towel

Adrienne observed Pedro from the kitchen, witnessing a side of him that was rarely seen – playful, affectionate, and warm-hearted. Even the other guests, including Indi and Miko who worked alongside Adrienne in Pedro's company, were amazed by the transformation. It was hard to believe that the typically stern and intimidating Pedro Lassiter could display such genuine emotions.Cathy, always the joker, couldn't resist teasing Adrienne about the situation. "Hey, girl, I think I need to see an eye specialist. Did I really witness Pedro Lassiter smiling?"Adrienne responded with a sarcastic tone, "What do you think? Do you still believe our boss is emotionless?"Cathy raised her hands in surrender. "Well, maybe just a tiny bit. But in all fairness, who knew Sir could be so fond of children? Maybe you should give him one?" she teased, causing Adrienne's cheeks to flush with embarrassment."You're impossible," Adrienne retorted, trying to brush off the teasing. Deep down, though, she couldn

ADRIENNE was taken aback by Pedro's sudden change of emotions. Confused and hurt, she couldn't fathom why he had acted so aggressively just moments ago. As she glanced at her injured hand, the result of his rough handling, she realized that Pedro's anger had inadvertently caused her harm.But just as swiftly as his temper flared, it dissipated, leaving Pedro with a remorseful and panicked expression. "I am so sorry, sh*t, what have I done?" he exclaimed, regret evident in his voice."S-Sir, I'm fine... It's just a small wound, far from any vital organs," she reassured him, trying to remain composed.Pedro pulled her into a hug, his affectionate gesture momentarily easing the pain in her hand. "Take a leave, we'll go to the hospital. It might get infected, or worse, leave a scar. Damn it! I should stop being reckless," he insisted.With a chuckle, Adrienne replied, "Sir, please don't be too paranoid. We have a company clinic and a company doctor. It's just a small wound. Go on, I'll go

PEDRO was more than upset. He didn't know where his anger was coming from. Was it because of Adrienne's cousin teasing him? Or was it because he was introduced as just her boss? It seemed like he couldn't accept that he was just a boss.He was still in the car and hadn't really left. He didn't want to leave Adrienne alone. He just didn't want to go inside because he was still angry. And when he was furious, he could do things that Pedro wouldn't normally do or didn't want to do. He could be harsh and insensitive when he was annoyed.He was just thinking inside his car. He was scared that his feelings for Adrienne might be more than just an attraction. Pedro was scared that he was becoming possessive of his secretary.Pedro was surprised when another car arrived and went inside the mansion. A very handsome man, tall and well-dressed, came out of the car. The guy looked very charming, and Pedro felt that he didn't like him.The man went inside, and Pedro suddenly felt worried. He though

Their secret relationship with Pedro was going smoothly. She was more than happy, satisfied, and contented. She was always content with whatever they had together with her boss. Even though she wanted more, she valued what they had right now. This opportunity was a luxury for her.Unlike before when Adrienne used to go to Coffee Corner before being picked up by Pedro at her condo unit, now they would enter together early to avoid suspicion. They were still in a discreet relationship."Do you want coffee?" Adrienne asked when they entered the office."Kiss? Can I have a kiss instead?" Pedro mischievously replied.She lightly slapped him. "You know what, you're too much! Weren't you satisfied earlier at the condo unit?" They had already done something miraculous in the early hours of the morning.Pedro winked at her, making her blush. Despite there being something between them, her feelings for him hadn't changed."I will not say sorry just because I cannot get enough of you," Adrienne
