Chapter 12 Todays Arnold was still handsome and dignified , tall and composed , standing there like a roll When he saw Norn , he frowned slightly , his expression turning colder . Like before , he merely glanced at her before averting his gaze . Nora quickly withdrew her gaze as well , pretending not to notice him , and turned to walk away , heading for another exhibition area . This time , it was Arnold who froze . She … surprisingly didnt take the initiative to walk up and talk to me ? * Watching , Noras retreating figure , Arnold frowned deeply . He seemed to have forgotten that he was the one who had warned Nora never to initiate conversations with him during work hours . When the exhibition closed for the evening , Nora exited the building , intending to hail a cab home . As she stepped outside , she noticed a familiar black sedan parked at the curb Arnold was leaning against the car door , smoking a cigarette .

Startled , Nora rummaged through her bag and pulled out her cell phone , realizing she had several missed calls .

Her words were calm , almost indifferent , but Arnolds expression darkened further . Alpha Arnold ? Noca had never addressed him so formally before . For some inexplicable reason , Arnold felt an irritable pane in his chest . He said curtly . The day after tomorrow , my grandmother wants to see you . Take Alex to Lancelot Manor when the time comes . Thinking of Arnolds grandmothers kind face , Nora smiled faintly . Okay , Ill remember . Is there anything else ? Arnolds irritation deepened at her detached tone . No Then Ill leave , Nora nodded , not even pausing to consider that Arnold might offer her a ride home . She walked to the curb and waved for a cah . Arnold watched her retreating figure , feeling a flicker of disbelief . Did she think this cold attitude would attract my attention ? * Once upon a time , Nora would become upset and sulk , but he never needed to pay much attention to it . In a few days , she would always come back with a smile . He had no doubt this time would be the same . She couldnt stay away from him , from Alex , or from the power and prestige of being Luna . Still outside , Arnold finished his cigarette . Lornes voice rang out in his head . Arent you going to ask her why she was at the exhibition today ? Shes your Luna you should care a little more about her , No , youre wrong , Shes a scheming woman , Arnold replied coolly .

Its perfectly reasonable for her to refuse . The staff member stammered , But , but . She always helped before ! they finally blurted . Just then , Arnold entered the building . Whats the matter ? The staff member immediately complained , Alpha Arnold , I assigned Nora a task , and not only did she refuse , but she was rude about it Oh ? Arnold responded dismissively .
