The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 79

Chapter 0079 Sorry , what were you saying , Darling ? Her frown deepened .

Im going inside with Matt , she snapped , her eyes dark with anger .

She turned away and started to walk inside with Matt beside her .

Ethans face paled when he realized his mistake .

I think you should go after her , lover boy , I said , folding my arms across my chest .

He didnt humor me with a response , but he quickly ran after her , attempting to explain himself .

I shook my head at their retreating backs .

Why do I get the feeling theres history between the two of you ? Walter asked , turning my attention to him .

If Gavin saw us talking alone together , he would be furious .

I honestly thought Walter went back inside while Ethan and I were having that stare down .

I was surprised and maybe even a little startled to see that he was still here with me .

Even though I just met him , there was a part of me that trusted Walter .

But I didnt think I should tell him the truth about Ethan and me because Im not sure how close he was to Irene .

Telling from what I saw in the parlor earlier , with the two of them laughing and hugging , I would say they are very close .

Theres not , I lied .

Hes just Irenes fiancé .

I never really talk to him .

He cocked his head to the side as if he was trying to read my thoughts and then he nodded , not asking further questions about Ethan and me .

Im sorry if I made things weird between you and your boss , he told me , kicking the dirt on the ground like he was a small child who just got scolded .

He can be intense .

Thats an understatement , I teased .

You dont need to apologize , Walter .

You didnt do anything wrong He shrugged and then lifted his gaze to meet mine .

I hope he didnt scare you away from me though , he said softly .

I raised my brows at him ; not sure what he meant .

Wasnt it you that he threatened ? I asked .

He can take away whatever he wants , Walter murmured .

I never wanted to be an Alpha .

Its what my father wanted for me .
