"Clif, here's the Black Cat plate; you put it on the table in my reading room," Zayden said, handing the wooden box to Clif. Olivia was doing the work Zayden had asked her to do.
Hearing Zayden's words, Olivia was stunned. She glanced at the wooden box in Clif's hand."Yes, sir." Clif walked away from Zayden's study, where Zayden and Olivia were."Is this the plate Aland was referring to?" Olivia wondered. "What's wrong? Why are you so pensive?" Zayden inquired, breaking Olivia's reverie."Um, it's okay," Olivia replied, trying to avoid Zayden's gaze. She was too embarrassed by last night's incident to dare to look at him."You'll have lunch alone later. Clif and I have something to do outside," Zayden said."Oh, okay," Olivia replied.Olivia went back to her work.*** "Um, I don't know when I last went out for lunch alone. I used to share my lunch with that errant feline; however, I am now responsible for procuring my owCeklek!The door to the room opened, making Olivia, who was standing by the window, turn her head to the source of the sound. She saw Zayden, who entered the room with his suit off.After waiting for an hour, he finally met her here.Quickly, Olivia turned her face away and looked back out the window. When he noticed this, Zayden approached Olivia and positioned himself in front of her, who continued to ignore him."You should understand; I did that because I didn't want to be betrayed," Zayden said, still with a haughty tone."Tsk, not wanting to be betrayed, but accusing people at will," Olivia retorted sarcastically. "I didn't know that Mr. Zayden could be this careless; can't you investigate it in more detail?" Olivia replied sarcastically, folding her arms across her chest.Olivia was still very upset and hurt because of Zayden's previous accusations. Was Olivia truly untrustworthy and easily seduced, even by Aland, her former lover?"I know y
"Damn! Why does she keep evading and remaining unreachable? Where the hell is she?" Zayden complained while placing his cell phone on the table. He was annoyed that Olivia didn't receive his messages and calls, not even coming back to the villa after the incident."Mr. Zayden, I bring you the latest news regarding Miss Olivia," Clif said, knocking on the door."Come in, Clif." Clif entered the room at Zayden's command and now stood in front of him."Where is she?" Zayden asked without preamble."Miss Olivia is having a wedding with Mr. Holand from the Netherlands," said Clif."What?" screeched Zayden, getting up from his seat. "When is the wedding?""Today, sir," Clif replied quite hesitantly, and cold sweat was already breaking out from his body at the sight of Zayden's fierce face and frightening gaze."You're giving such important news now, so suddenly?" screeched Zayden."I'm sorry, sir. This wedding plan was so secretive that there was no
"Get some rest; we'll talk later," Zayden said as he ushered Olivia into her room."Um, wait!" Zayden stopped in his tracks as he was about to walk out of the room and turned to Olivia."What's wrong?" she asked, still with a cold, flat look in her eyes."Thank you for helping me get out of that wedding," Olivia said.Zayden turned her back to Olivia. "If you want to make Aland regret leaving you, you should have chosen a husband who is above Aland. You should not have chosen an old man your grandfather's age." Zayden's sarcasm really hurt her heart, but she couldn't avoid it because that was a fact.She herself was too rash to accept the marriage without consideration."Never mind; you just rest." Zayden walked out of Olivia's room, leaving the woman still wearing her wedding dress alone."Gosh, what a day!" Olivia complained, sitting on the side of the bed. "Sorry, Grandpa."***Aland expressed his frustrat
"Tell me if there's something you don't understand," Zayden said."All right. But I have to be in the same room as you, right?" Olivia, who worked for Sanders, inquired, noting that her desk was in the same room as Zayden's but in a different position. But that way, both Zayden and Olivia could look at each other."Why don't you like being in the same room as me?" I asked Zayden, who was already sitting in his oversized chair."No, it's just that I feel awkward being in the same room with you. Isn't Clif in a different room?" Olivia continued to protest about her newly set-up desk."Yeah, so?" asked Zayden, folding his arms across his chest."Shouldn't I be in the same room as Clif?""No way!" replied Zayden firmly. "Baboon, don't forget that I'm the boss here.""All right, Mr. Boss. I'll obey you," Olivia replied with a sigh and finally sat down in her chair. She noticed that her desk was still empty."But doesn't this desk have to have
"Did Roseline see you earlier?" asked Zayden, pretending not to know."Yes, she came and went again," Olivia replied."You don't have a problem dealing with her alone, do you? After all, she's a bitch," Zayden said as they got in the car to go to dinner."I'm not enough of a bitch to stand up to her," Olivia said. "I'm not trying to brag, but I've faced more bitches like her before." "Yeah, I believe that," Zayden said. "Because you're the only woman who isn't even afraid of a mobster. Even when I pointed a gun at you, you weren't scared at all.""Maybe if the one pointing the gun was a real criminal, I would be scared. If it were you, I'm sure you wouldn't just shoot people for no reason," Olivia replied, leaving Zayden stunned. "So I thought, maybe I'd be safe by your side."Something warm ran through her veins and seeped into her heart.Clif, who had known Zayden was moving until the man's earlobes turned red, smiled from the front seat. He was even more convinced that Zayden had
"I want to go to the bathroom and take a walk by myself," Olivia said as Zayden was talking to her client, who wouldn't let Zayden leave and kept asking questions."All right. I'll see you later," Zayden said.Olivia walked away from there because she felt bored and tired of the business discussion. Simon had actually offered Olivia a position in the company, if not as manager. For some reason, Olivia was not so interested in business. Olivia loved art; she preferred to make paintings or something else from clay and wax. Yes, she really liked that. I'm not sure when she last engaged in her favorite activity; she herself seems to have forgotten.Olivia stepped into the garden, where she sat in the middle of Rosaline's birthday party's hustle and bustle. Here, a calm and peaceful atmosphere enveloped every inch of the ground, keeping the noise and crowds outside at bay. The garden is filled with beautifully blooming flowers, displaying a variety of bright and capt
"Mrs. Sanders."The words kept ringing in Olivia's head and had the effect of making her heart beat erratically."What the hell, Mrs. Sanders? That man talks out of his ass," Olivia complained with a red face. Olivia cupped her heated cheeks. She looked at her reflection in the bathroom sink mirror."Calm down, Oliv. Don't be so confident," Olivia muttered. 'Obviously he said those things just to help me out of trouble,' Olivia thought to herself.She then walked out of the bathroom and was surprised to see Zayden standing there. Olivia had to blink her eyes several times."What's wrong with your eyes?" asked Zayden, who was standing there with his hands crossed."No, I think my eyes have become myopic from seeing you standing in front of the woman's bathroom door, like a pervert," Olivia taunted with her cheekiness."Do you think so? I'm just making sure no one bothers you anymore," Zayden said, walking ahead of Olivia.
"Help!"Olivia shouted with tears in her eyes. "Somebody, please call an ambulance!"Everyone in the house burst into Simon's room."Dad!" They rushed over and saw Simon, whose face was already deathly pale."What did you do to my father?" screamed Mery, pushing Olivia's body backwards.Olivia replied with a sad face, "I found him lying on the floor. Tears fell down her cheeks as she looked at Simon."We have to take Dad to the hospital," Diana said."Dad is dead, Diana! How can we take his body to the hospital?" Jacki squealed."But how could we, Hikz?"Among her three children, Diana was the most distressed and sad. "We should call the hospital administrator," said Wilson, Diana's husband."Let's move Dad's body to the bed first," Wilson said, looking at Jacki, who was grunting there. They moved Simon's body to the bed. Olivia was still sitting there with a sinking feeling, and she couldn't believe that her beloved grandfather had passed away."We have to prepare a funeral for Dad
