As the elevator finally reached the ground floor, people exited one by one, leaving Katelyn and Sage the last to step out.
"I'll drive you to the palace," Sage offered casually, glancing at her.
"No," Katelyn replied firmly. "I came in my own car. You don't need to drop me, and you definitely don't need to show your face at the palace," she added with a scowl, reaching for the bags in his hands.
But Sage smoothly stepped back, keeping them just out of her reach.
"Is there some specific problem with me?" he asked. "You're acting like you hate me."
"You're absolutely right. I do hate alphas like you," Katelyn snapped. Without hesitation, she moved forward, snatching the bags from his wrists. "You will never have my heart. So it's best you stay as far away from me as possible."
