Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 730

Chapter 730: Bring my private affairs

Karmen steered the car smoothly out of the driveway as the massive gates of the mansion slowly parted to allow their exit. The vehicle rolled forward onto the quiet road beyond the estate.

Gabriel glanced down at the file resting on his lap, flipping it open briefly before scanning the first page.

"Why would they suddenly want to start a trade partnership?" he muttered thoughtfully. "I’ll speak with their Alpha personally."

After a moment, he closed the file again and set it aside.

"Anyway," he continued, turning slightly toward Karmen, "tell me how things are going with Aisha."

Karmen let out a faint chuckle but kept his eyes fixed on the road ahead.

"You seem to be far more worried about my life these days," he remarked.

Gabriel leaned back in his seat.

"You could say that I care about you," he replied casually.

There was a short pause before he added another piece of news. "By the way, Carlos is back."

Karmen’s reaction was immediate.

"He’s back?" His eyes lit up with surprise and relief. He wanted to tell Carlos he worked on his advise and was with Aisha finally.

But Gabriel continued, his tone more thoughtful now. "He still hasn’t told anyone why he left so suddenly."

The excitement on Karmen’s face faltered slightly when he sensed the concern in Gabriel’s voice. The way Gabriel spoke about Carlos made it clear that the matter was still weighing on his mind.

"Maybe he doesn’t want to trouble you or Amelie," Karmen said, his voice thoughtful as he kept his attention on the road.

Gabriel gave a small nod, though the concern on his face remained.

"That could be true," he admitted. "But in a way, that only makes us worry more."

He rested his arm against the door and continued, his tone growing more serious.

"Carlos left in such a hurry. He barely explained anything before disappearing." Gabriel exhaled slowly. "You see... Carlos has become an important part of my family. I can’t stand the thought of him dealing with something alone."

His fingers tapped lightly against the closed file on his lap.

"If he’s facing any kind of problem, I want him to come to me. I want him to take my help instead of carrying everything by himself."

Karmen understood the sincerity behind those words. Gabriel’s concern wasn’t simply that of a leader for a subordinate, it was closer to how one would worry for family.

Still, Karmen also knew Carlos well enough.

Carlos had always been a man who carried his burdens quietly. He rarely spoke about his personal life and preferred to keep many things hidden behind a calm demeanor.

"Carlos has always been that way," Karmen said gently. "He keeps many things to himself."

After a brief pause, he added reassuringly,

"But when the time feels right to him, he’ll tell you and Amelie the truth about why he left so suddenly."

Gabriel hummed, realizing except for waiting he couldn’t do anything else.

"Come in."

Denzel spoke without lifting his head at first, leaning back against his swivel chair. The office had finally grown quiet after a long series of meetings. Ever since Gabriel had returned to take charge again, discussions and strategic briefings had been happening almost constantly. As the company’s director, Denzel had been required to attend most of them.

Now, in the stillness of the afternoon, he had finally found a few minutes to breathe.

But the knock on the door had broken that brief peace.

When the door opened, he lifted his gaze. His brows immediately rose in surprise.

Juniper was standing there.

"What are you doing here?" Denzel asked, clearly taken aback.

Juniper walked toward the desk calmly and placed a small stack of files in front of him before greeting him properly.

"Good afternoon, Director."

Denzel’s eyes moved from her face to the files on the table.

"I work in one of the subsidiaries connected to this company," Juniper explained. "Our division focuses on fashion and cosmetics."

She gestured lightly toward the documents she had just set down.
