Chapter 203 : The Misunderstanding at the Front Desk Chapter 203 : The Misunderstanding at the Front Desk ( Olivia's POV ) I took a deep breath , trying to maintain my professional composure despite Helen's dismissive attitude . Her assumption that I was just another lovesick she - wolf chasing after Connor irritated my wolf , but I forced myself to remain calm .

" Little she - wolf , I'm here to see him on official business , not what you're thinking , " I said firmly , adjusting my grip on the leather portfolio . Helen scoffed coldly , her eyes full of disdain as she looked me up and down . " If you have real business , why didn't you make an appointment in advance ? Don't try to fool me ." She leaned back in her chair with obvious superiority .

" I know you're deliberately carrying that file bag to pretend you have legitimate business so I'll let you in . That trick is outdated - everyone's used it to death . " I blinked in surprise , suddenly understanding the situation . Many female werewolves must frequently use the pretense of business meetings to see Connor Rivers , making the front desk staff extremely vigilant . Rather than getting angry , I found the young receptionist's dedication to her job amusing .

A small smile tugged at my lips as I decided to tease her a bit . Helen noticed my expression and mistook it for smugness . " You think this is funny ? Let me tell you something I was previously deceived by such tactics and nearly lost my job for letting someone through . " Her voice grew more defensive . " I was only saved by my cousin Marcus Shaw who works as the Alpha's special assistant . He vouched for me when the Alpha was furious about the security breach .

" She straightened in her chair , pride evident in her voice . " I know the Alpha is very handsome and attracts many she - wolves . Honestly , you're very beautiful too , but the Alpha doesn't like your type . " Helen's confidence grew as she continued . " The Alpha has countless dream girls , and neither you nor I have a chance . He's way out of our league . " My amusement faded slightly at her presumptuous assessment , but I remained curious about her perspective .

" Besides ," Helen added with a knowing look , " the Alpha already has Alpha Miranda . She's the powerful Luna heiress of the Blackwood pack who runs a major werewolf corporation . Now that's the kind of she - wolf who belongs with our Alpha . " When Helen mentioned Miranda Blackwood as Connor's supposed romantic interest , my smile faded completely . My tone turned cold despite my efforts to remain neutral . " Alpha Miranda ? " I repeated , my voice carefully controlled .

" Yes , Miranda Blackwood . She's been coming here regularly for pack business meetings , " Helen said proudly , as if sharing insider information . " She's sophisticated , successful , and perfect for an Alpha like Connor Rivers . " At that moment , my phone rang with an incoming call . I glanced at the screen and saw Frank Langley's name displayed . A mischievous idea struck me . I answered the call but immediately handed the phone to the confused receptionist .

" It's for you , " I said with a sweet smile . Helen looked bewildered but took the phone hesitantly . " Hello ? " " Helen ? Why do you have this number ? " Frank's familiar voice came through clearly . " I was trying to reach Miss Winters about urgent legal documents . " Helen's face went pale as she recognized her cousin's voice . " Frank ? I … there's this she - wolf here claiming to have business with the Alpha , but I thought she was lying … " " What she - wolf ?

" Frank's voice sharpened with concern . " She says she's here about legal documents , but I figured it was just another excuse to see the Alpha , " Helen explained nervously . There was a moment of stunned silence before Frank's voice exploded through the phone . " Helen ! Please tell me you didn't just block Miss Winters from entering ! " Helen's eyes widened in panic . " Miss Winters ? But I thought … " " You just stopped our Alpha's Luna from entering !

" Frank exclaimed , his voice rising with each word . The conversation quickly turned chaotic as Frank realized his cousin had blocked the very person he was trying to reach . Helen's face drained of all color as the implications hit her . " In panic , Frank continued over the phone . " Do you have any idea what you've done ? She's not just anyone - she's the Alpha's intended mate !

" Meanwhile , Connor Rivers appeared in the hallway , having heard Frank's raised voice through the pack's enhanced hearing . Instead of being angry , Connor's expression softened with pleasure when he learned Olivia had come to see him . He approached Frank , who was still speaking frantically into the phone . " What's this about my Luna being downstairs ? " Frank looked up with relief and panic .

" Alpha , my cousin Helen at the front desk didn't recognize Miss Winters and refused her entry ." Connor's lips curved into a satisfied smile . " Alpha's Luna ? That title sounds good . Use it from now on . " Frank blinked in surprise at Connor's pleased reaction . " Yes , Alpha . Should I go down and escort her up ? " " We'll both go , " Connor decided , his mood noticeably brightened . " I want to personally escort her up .

" Back at the front desk , Helen stared at me with a complex expression , now understanding she had just insulted the Alpha's Luna . Her hands trembled as she held my phone . " I'm sorry , I really didn't know you were the Alpha's Luna , " she stammered , her voice shaking . " I thought … I mean , you don't look like … " I firmly interrupted her assumption . " Alpha's Luna ? I'm not . " Helen's confusion deepened .

Despite my clear denial , she assumed I was angry about her earlier mention of Miranda Blackwood and was deliberately rejecting the title out of spite . " Please don't be upset about what I said about Alpha Miranda , " Helen pleaded desperately . " I was just repeating office gossip . I didn't mean to offend you . " I shook my head , trying to correct her misunderstanding . " You don't understand . I'm genuinely not Connor's Luna . We're not mated .

" But Helen wasn't listening to my explanations . Her fear had taken over completely . The young receptionist sighed in despair , her shoulders slumping with defeat . She was convinced she had offended the Alpha's Luna and would surely be fired . " Even my cousin won't be able to help me this time , " she whispered miserably . " I've really done it now . " 3/3
