The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover

Chapter 141

Jackson ignored everyone’s expressions and raised his chin at the senior executive explaining the PowerPoint. “Continue.”
The executive had no choice but to continue. However, I noticed that he skipped over one of the income slides. Instead of giving all of the figures, he gave more general percentages. I’m sure he was afraid I would share the information.
It was clear that the Sterling pack execs weren’t pleased with my presence in the meeting, so I sat still and quiet during the duration of the presentation.
When the meeting ended, I ran out and asked Jackson, “Why do you want me to listen?”
Jackson looked down at me, who was a head shorter than him, and replied in a gentle voice, “When you were sitting outside the room, you looked interested, so I decided to let you listen.”
I wasn’t prepared for that answer.

“Aren’t you afraid I’ll take the information elsewhere?”
“They are all unimportant numbers that anyone could find in a public earnings report, and…” Jackson paused for a moment, then smiled. “I believe in you.”
His smile was no different from before…before everything. It

had the power to brighten a room. It was as if he was still Silas, not Jackson, the man who had broken my artificial heart

Palmer, you’ll need to go get ready. I’m going to a banquet tonight.”

Jackson nodded. “The Wilton pack is holding a banquet. I need a female companion, and I’d like you to attend with me.”
Was it a personal assistant’s duty to be a temporary female companion? And would it be appropriate for Jackson to take a non-shifter with him?
The Wilton pack was not particularly prominent or powerful, and I wasn’t sure why Jackson would feel the need to attend. The Wiltons were wealthy, but that was about it.
And that wasn’t really saying anything. Most wolf shifter packs were wealthy if they weren’t a newer pack. Longer life spans equaled more time to build wealth to then pass on to the next Alpha.
