The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 908

Josephine pulled away, wiping away her tears with a smile on her face.

"We better get to Justin before he loses his shit again like last night," she quipped, and we both shared a laugh.

"Yeah, he did look like he had a fire lit under him," she said, and I chuckled, finding her description of Justin's behaviour quite fitting.

While his reaction was understandable, I knew that dealing with that video, my parents, and the entire situation couldn't have been easy for him. If my father didn't give him trouble, my mother certainly would have, not to mention Lord Alexei and others. We had just arrived, and it weighed heavily on me that Justin had to go through all this trouble.

I felt genuinely sorry for the burden he had to bear in the midst of everything.

Josephine and I departed the room, our hands entwined as was becoming customary.

Before we left her room, she took the time to apply her eyeliner, and I couldn't help but smile. I was gradually getting used to the smokey-eye look, and strangely, it was growing on me.

However, what I felt for her went far beyond appearances. Her personality was simply incredible, and I knew deep down that she was someone I could always rely on and trust, no matter the circumstances. Even though she hadn't yet expressed her feelings, I held on to the hope that one day, she would respond positively, easing the worries in my heart. Until then, I was determined to love her wholeheartedly; my love will be enough for both of us.

Josephine and I arrived at Justin's office, finding all eyes on us as we entered.

"You barely ate anything, Jo. Are you feeling okay?" Charlotte asked, displaying genuine concern.

"I'm just saving my appetite for a special place," Josephine replied, giving my hand a playful pinch. I knew she was referring to the food truck we planned to visit later. She must have really enjoyed the food there. However, given the urgency of the current matter at hand, we wouldn't have the opportunity to go there alone in the evening.

So, to ensure she didn't go hungry, I quickly arranged for an omega to prepare sandwiches for her to eat on the go. This way, she wouldn’t be hungry while we worked.

Justin observed us carefully, his silence speaking volumes. Suspicion was evident in his eyes, and he didn't seem too happy about the situation.

"I will talk to you later today, Li," he linked me, and a knot formed in my stomach because I knew it had to do with Josephine. After all, I had spoken to him with unwavering conviction about my feelings for Sophia; how could I now take back those words? I was well aware that I would have to eat my own words from that conversation. It was a bitter realisation I couldn't escape.

Marvin stood next to me, his curiosity evident in his link.

"What's going on between you and Jo?" he asked, and I glanced at him. He had been so preoccupied with Layla that he hadn't noticed until now. I shifted my gaze to the others in the group, realising that Marvin wasn't the only one who had picked up on the connection between Josephine and me. Charlotte seemed somewhat suspicious, while Noah and Sebastien appeared oblivious.

It became apparent that everyone else had noticed there was something between Josephine and me. The unspoken feelings and growing closeness were becoming more evident to those around us, and it made me wonder how much longer we could keep it under wraps.

"The Gamma and Delta have already arrived," Justin linked us discreetly, ensuring no one could eavesdrop on our conversation within his office.

"Considering the footage you all saw and the fact that someone was surveilling Li and Jo during their evening stroll…,” he said with emphasis on the stroll, and Charlotte chuckled.

“… I suspect the conspirators are from this area. While we can't be certain if the Gamma and Delta are involved, we cannot afford to trust anyone outside our circle. To succeed in our mission, we must gather as much information as possible from everyone here while keeping our findings strictly within our group. It's crucial to make it exceptionally challenging for them to infiltrate our ranks. This is precisely why not everyone from the gang was allowed to come to Grizlo. We need to establish a seamless rhythm before including the rest," he elaborated, and we all nodded in agreement.

"Understood," Justin replied aloud, ensuring that part of the conversation was open for everyone to hear. Charlotte couldn't help but chuckle more, and Justin smiled in response.

"In a few minutes, we'll be meeting with Gamma Lebedev and Delta Sokolov. I expect each one of you to show them respect, even though we are temporarily relieving them of their duties in Grizlo. Their office demands it," he instructed.

"Yes, Alpha," we all agreed in unison, and he smiled before leading us out of his office towards the visitor's room. The meeting with the Gamma and Delta awaited us, and we were prepared to handle it with the utmost respect and professionalism.
