Chapter 126 What Is She Doing Here Hayley's POV: #Finished The maid spoke respectfully, "It's like this: Alpha has to work late tonight, and the food outside isn't safe to eat. Old Mr. Southwell asked the household staff to prepare smeals to send over, but Janny has to take leave because her grandson is ill, and Lista also has matters to attend to. So, I'm afraid I need to trouble you, Ms. Carson, to help with this." "Are you askingto deliver food to Benjamin at the office?" The maid looked troubled. "If it's inconvenient for you, then never mind." I thought about it for a second and figured I didn't have anything better to do. And besides, the servants were swamped. So I said, "Sure, pack it up. I'll take it over to Benjamin." The servant perked up at my response. "Thank you, Ms. Carson! I'll get everything ready." Once the servant left, I picked up the crumpled papers from the floor again, gathered them, and took them with me.
I took the meals prepared by the servant, along with my own, to the office.
On the way, I glanced at the sheet music I had picked up from the music room. Overall, Christopher's composition wasn't bad, but the style felt too bland and lacked character. With sadjustments, it could be improved.
So, I took out a pen and began making smodifications. Just as I finished revising a section, we arrived at the office. "Ms. Carson, we're here.
I quickly tucked the pen and sheet music into my pocket before grabbing the lunchboxes and stepping into Southwell Group.

Would you like to wait for him in his office?" He then guidedinto Benjamin's office. Although this wasn't my first visit, it was the first tI took a closer look around.
Benjamin's office was spacious, furnished with genuine leather furniture and an extravagant desk. A massive floor-to-ceiling window offered a panoramic view of the city skyline.
I casually picked up a magazine from the shelf and settled into the sofa to read.

I glanced at him, puzzled, and asked, "Is there something you need?" He said, "Ms. Carson has been waiting for you in your clice for three hours" Upon hearing this, I felt a surge of joy. Even my wolf, Lawrence, stirred within me, sensing her presence and growing excited.
But Hayley never cto the office without a reason before, which madecurious about her visit.
A hint of irritation flickered throughas I said to my assistant, "Why didn't you letknow she was Π here?"
Still, my excitement to see her outweighed my annoyance, so I didn't wait for an explanation. I hurried to my office and pushed the door open, stepping inside.

The sun had set, and the soft glow of the lamp made Hayley look really peaceful.
I grabbed a blanket from the other room and put it over Hayley.
Before I could pull away, she suddenly opened her eyes, and our gazes locked.
