Chapter 375 Because of Christopher
Hayley’s POV:
I couldn’t believe it–Christine had actually come looking for me here. It was the first time.
“Hayley, why are you so late?” Christine complained, feigning annoyance when she saw me.
I was surprised. “Were you waiting for me?”
Christine shyly nodded.
“Christopher said he was coming with us, so I came to wait for both of you.”
Ah, soit’sbecauseof Christopher.
“Has Christopher come home?” I asked, confused.

Just as I spoke, Christopher appeared at the top of the stairs. “Hayley, it’s not like I never come home. You don’t need to be so surprised.”
I didn’tknowhowtorespond.
After a moment, I teased him. “Christopher, are you ready? Don’t forget to look a little less handsome–I don’t want your fans to recognize you.”
Christopher smoothed his hair and responded, seeming overconfident. “I’m just so good–looking; if they recognize me, it’s totally normal.”
Christine and I exchanged a knowing look and rolled our eyes in unison.
“You just
n’t stop being full of yourself, can you?“\
“We can’t stop being full of ourselves, can we?”
We both said it at the same time and then laughed. “We really have great chemistry,” Christine said, giving Christopher a playful look.
Christopher shrugged. “What can I say? If I’m going to be a little full of myself, I’ve earned it. With looks like mine, I can’t just waste them.”
“Alright, enough! Christopher, if you keep being this full of yourself, Hayley and I will just leave without you,” Christine said, frowning.
Seeing that she was serious, Christopher quickly calmed down. “Wait, wait! I’ll be ready in just a minute.”
With that, he quickly ran upstairs to change into something more understated, even putting on a mask to avoid being recognized.
“You two go ahead without me. I’ll be late. Let’s meet up at the fan event.”
As soon as I said this, Christopher gave me a grateful look, his relief clear.
I knew exactly what was going on. Seeing how much attention he was giving to Christine, it was obvious to

And now, he wasn’t even bothered that Christine was an Omega. He let her speak to him so casually.
He had clearly decided–Christine was his mate.
“Alright then, Hayley. We’ll head off first. See you there Christine waved and left with Christopher.
After they left, I turned to Gloria. “Where’s Benjamin? Did he go to the office?”
Gloria quickly answered, “Ms. Hayley, I haven’t seen the Alpha this morning. His car is still in the garage, though. I just don’t know where he went.”
I was puzzled–if he wasn’t there, why was his car still in the garage?
Hurriedly, I went upstairs to Benjamin’s room, but when I opened the door, it was empty. There was no sign of him.
I searched the entire house and even had Hera sniff around, but still no sign of Benjamin.
Then, I took out my phone to call him, but all I heard was a cold woman’s voice, which told me his phone had been switched off.
I started to feel anxious–why was his phone off?
I called his assistant, Tyrone.
Tyrone said, “The Alpha hasn’t arrived at the office yet, and I haven’t seen him. If I do, I’ll pass along any messages.”
I hung up, feeling a bit down.
But then I remembered Benjamin was a big fan of Harmony–he would definitely be at the fan event.
And he had promised me he would wait until after the event was over.
I pushed aside my worries, and after changing into my outfit, I left the house.
Then, I took a cab to Thomas’s company. After a makeover from the stylist and makeup artist, I was ready to face the world with a brand new look.
“Alpha, you look amazing today! Your fans are going to be so excited to see you.”
I looked at myself, satisfied with the results.
I hopetodaymarks a fresh start. Fromnowon, I wanttobetruetomyself.
After the fan event, I decided I would tell Benjamin everything.
“It’s going to be fine, Alpha. Let’s go,” Thomas said confidently, patting me on the shoulder as he started the
car.
