After I left Alpha father and son went crazy with regret novel Chapter 162

Chapter 162 

She turned to see some former colleagues from a different department grinning at her. One of them, an older woman named Laura, crossed her arms with an amused expression. “So, did you get any flowers 

today?* 

Before Nora could reply, one of the studio employees accompanying her beat her to it. “She did. A huge bouquet of red roses. You should’ve seen everyone’s faces. They were so jealous.” 

A fresh wave of murmurs and chuckles followed, along with a few teasing remarks. 

“Oh, really?” Laura raised an eyebrow. “That’s quite the grand gesture. Who’s the lucky guy?” 

Nora sighed internally, the weight of the question pressing on her despite her lack of interest. She wasn’t sure which unsettled her more… the anonymous flowers or the attention they had drawn. 

“I don’t know,” she answered simply. 

Laura’s grin widened. “Mysterious. Maybe you have a secret admirer.” 

“Maybe,” Nora replied, but her mind wasn’t on admirers. Her thoughts lingered on the handwriting, the familiarity that nagged at her like an unfinished puzzle. 

‘Oh what a poor way to enjoy little attention… A voice came through 

The moment Flora’s voice cut through the conversation, its sharpness was impossible to ignore. 

“Flowers? That’s all?” she said with a laugh, striding forward with a briefcase in hand. Her perfectly polished heels clicked against the floor, and she exuded an air of feigned nonchalance as she flicked a glance at the bouquet resting near Nora. “That’s not much of a gift to be so excited about.” 

The room fell into an awkward silence. People exchanged looks, unsure why Flora was making such an unnecessary comparison. 

Without waiting for a response, Flora continued, her tone light yet pointed. “Linda, on the other hand, received tons of expensive gifts. And,” she added dramatically, letting her words linger, “Alpha Arnold gifted her a luxury villa*.” 

A few employees cast wary glances between Flora and Nora, sensing an underlying hostility. The tension was palpable. 

Nora didn’t react. She simply shifted her documents, scanning over the details of her upcoming meeting. Flora’s words held no real weight. If Arnold had given Linda a villa, then so be it. Their relationship had nothing to do with her anymore.

Just then, Linda approached, her presence causing yet another ripple of murmurs. “What are you talking about?” she asked in a tone that was neither warm nor cold. 

Flora immediately moved toward her, slipping her arm around Linda’s in a show of closeness. 

She cast a quick, sidelong glance at Nora before letting out a soft chuckle. 

In a voice pitched just low enough for only Linda to hear, she murmured, “Someone was acting so proud about getting flowers. But once they heard that you not only received more gifts, but also a villa from Alpha Arnold, they suddenly fell silent.” 

Linda didn’t respond immediately. She merely shifted her gaze toward Nora, observing her without 

expression. 

When Nora remained unaffected, Flora’s lips curled in amusement. Lowering her voice even further, she added, “Linda, didn’t you used to say that Leo treated her well? But look at today… Valentine’s Day, and all he gave her was a bouquet of flowers. Nothing else. I guess Leo isn’t as devoted to her as we thought.” 

Linda’s expression subtly shifted. 

Leo *only* sent Nora flowers? 

That was… underwhelming. 

For a long time, she had assumed that Leo valued Nora, that he genuinely cared for her. After all, Nora’s influence in STARLINE Studio was undeniable. But now that Flora had pointed it out, the imbalance was 

glaring. 

If Leo was truly attached to Nora, why had he never given her any real position of power? Why did she have influence without a title… without even an equity stake? 

The realization made Linda’s lips twitch into the faintest smirk.
