Chapter 14
Third–person POV
Winona didn’t think much of it. After making a pot of chicken porridge, she served it in front of Alpha Franklin.
He took only a sip. The slightly greasy taste filled his stomach, but he instantly lost his appetite and even felt a faint sense of
nausea.
This taste is wrong.
With a sullen face, Alpha Franklin slapped the entire bowl over with a “snap“.
The butler and Winona looked at each other, both looking embarrassed.

“Alpha Franklin, I’ve already made it according to Miss Sirena’s recipe. I really tried my best.”
Winona said tremblingly, fearing that she would lose her job.
Frowning, Alpha Franklin walked into the kitchen and followed the steps that Sirena had taught him in his memory, doing it step by step.
“No! No! This is all wrong!”
He smashed one bowl after another, and the irritation in his heart became more and more obvious.
Obviously, the process was exactly the same, but the taste of the chicken porridge just wasn’t right.

Was it just because Sirena wasn’t here?
The more Alpha Franklin thought about it, the angrier he became. He suddenly smashed the entire kitchen to pieces.
“Sirena’s absence won’t have any impact on me! I only love Claire!”
With red eyes, he tried to convince himself over and over again.
After a long time, in order to numb himself, he directly drove to the packhouse and completed all the work that had piled up in the past few days.
For several consecutive days, Alpha Franklin wished he could live in the packhouse.
But now that Sirena had resigned, the atmosphere in the packhouse was faintly

different from before.
All kinds of projects at work were not going smoothly. The cooperation amongg employees was not as harmonious as before, and frictions and quarrels were becoming more and more frequent.
Consequently, Alpha Franklin’s state was also getting worse and worse.
“Slap!”
In the conference room, Alpha Franklin had a sullen face and threw a planning proposal heavily on the table.
“Is this your attitude towards the Ambersy Pack cooperation project this time? If the planning proposal submitted next time is still at this level, then you don’t have to work here anymore!

This tender document is inconsistent with the plan we finalized. How did you check it? You even made such a Low level mistake. It seems that I need to seriously consider your abilities!
Who is in charge of the cooperation negotiation and follow–up of this project…”
The entire conference room was silent. It was so quiet that the sound of a needle dropping on the ground could be heard.
Almost every project leader and every department head was criticized.
Everyone wanted to bury their heads in the ground, feeling that this short meeting was particularly torturous.
After an unknown amount of time, Alpha

Franklin finally dismissed the meeting as if if bestowing a favor.
Everyone seemed to be liberated and quicklyly fled the conference room one after another.
Alpha Franklin let out a deep breath and leaned weakly against the backrest of the chair.
Since Sirena left, his life had changed a lot.
The person who had fought side by side. with him and talked about everything in the packhouse was gone. He had fallen out with Beta Zach as well. Now, Zach was merely a colleague, no longer a friend. Everyone was trembling in front of him, and the efficiency of task completion was much lower than before.
Even when he got home, it was the same

scene.
Even though there were still servants at home, it was still extremely deserted.
Even the weather had been gloomy for many days.
Back then, when his legs were disabled, although Sirena found a famous wizard and helped cure him, his legs were still not as good as before.
When the weather was bad, his legs would still ache faintly.
And in these past few days, the pain in his legs was particularly obvious and unbearable.
“Ugh…”

Alpha Franklin hung down his legs unbearably, but it didn’t relieve the pain at all.
“Sirena…”
He murmured her name feebly, and the longing for her in his heart grew stronger and stronger.
He even remembered the feeling of her soft and warm hands massaging and giving him acupuncture on his legs.
But now, she had left and completely abandoned him.
Everything around him was in a mess, and all aspects made him extremely annoyed.
The manic – depressive disorder that had been soothed by Sirena in the past had now resurfaced.

Only at this moment did Alpha Franklin clearly realize that from beginning to end, it wasn’t that Sirena couldn’t live without him, but that he couldn’t live without Sirena.
Without her, his life seemed to be completely out of order, and everything felt wrong.
