last update Last Updated: 2024-06-30 20:21:27
Leo had come to check on me probably thinking I was not okay because of what happened on the call.

"Okay, tell me I will be with him soon," I said to the servant and quickly changed the dress I was wearing.

I grabbed a straight loose dress. I didn't want anything that would make him attracted to me. I looked at my face in the mirror and quickly went to the washroom. I splashed some water onto my face and dried it with the towel. I wrapped my hair into a messy bun and took off my earrings. I stared out of the bathroom and exited my room heading downstairs.

"Oliv," Leo walked up to me the moment I descended the staircase. "Are you alright? You went silent while we were chatting," he said.

"I am fine. I was distracted a little," I explained trying to remain composed.

"I came over to make sure you were okay. I knew Vera was at work," Leo said walking me to the sofa like he lived here with us.

"You didn't go to work today?" I asked as it was a Friday.

"I did. I was returning to the office

    Olivia's POV"Do you want to talk about it," Vera asked as she walked me to the couch."No, I just want to forget something like that ever happened," I said and Vera just nodded. "I just found out that your brother is back home," Vera announced and my eyes lit with joy. I missed my brother so much. He left the country after my twentieth birthday for a mission. He had joined the army and it was his first peacekeeping mission. I was glad to hear he was back. I just couldn't wait to see Austin, again. He was two years older than me but we were very close since it was just the two of us growing up."That is amazing," I said excitedly."What time would you like us to leave tomorrow," Vera asked me."Afternoon will be fine," I replied. "Do you think I should pack a small bag?" I asked Vera."Don't tell me, you took all your clothes out of your parent's home three years ago," Vera said."I didn't but knowing my father. He could have them burned out of anger," I said sadly. I wanted to go b

I heard the deep voice of my father."Calm down father," Austin intervened.My mum put me behind her shielding me from my dad who appeared to be angry."Honey, you have not seen your daughter in three years. This is not the first thing you do," my mum said to my father as I peeped at him from behind my mother."Three years ago, my daughter died. I don't have a daughter," I heard my father say and he walked into the house with Austin going after him.My heart was crushed into multiple pieces. This reaction was exactly what I feared. My mum

I am just curious about why the interview did not happen?" I asked calmly trying to understand if it was the case that my CV was too good or someone worked this out for me."Well, the CEO who sits at the head office, saw your CV and asked us to hire you," Mr Wilson said with a smile."Your CV was impressive, I must say and everything you stated checked out," he added and I smiled."You will be working directly with the CEO," Mr Wilson said and I raised an eyebrow."What happened to the manager?" I asked before I could stop myself."The manager resigned weeks ago for personal reasons. You are the new manager," he announced to my surprise. "Manager?" I repeated."Yes," Mr Wilson acknowledged. "Here is your contract, you can go through it and sign but first you must sign this one-page agreement contract," Mr Wilson said and gave me a single pa

    "Alex," I whispered his name on my lips as I stared at him shocked. I was wondering how it was that he was sitting in the CEO's seat. The only question running through my head was, did Vera know about this, but I quickly dismissed the thought knowing there was no one Vera would arrange this for me if she knew Alex was the CEO."Olivia, can I have the signed contract?" His voice cut through my thoughts snapping me out of my daze."What do you want from me?" I asked staring at him angrily."What do you mean by your question? You applied for a job and you got it," he replied with a frown.He was right. I applied for this job. It suddenly crossed my mind. I could quit. I have received too many warnings about him to ignore. "Fine. I don't want the job again," I said and turned to walk away."You can't quit, Oliva," I heard him say and I froze in my steps. "Do you remember the agreement contract you signed?" I heard him ask and I turned around to stare at him."You are bonded by this contr

    Olivia's POVI lay on my bed in deep thought. I know nothing about this Alex guy aside from the warnings from Vera and the fact that my family dislikes him. This is my second encounter with him and I feel Vera is right about the person he is. I turned to face the other side of my bed still lost in thought. What would be my true reaction towards him if Vera had not said anything about him being a scumbag? How would I look at him if I didn't know I was once married to him? All these thoughts ran through my head and I was not sure how to feel about them all. Is he a scumbag or I feel that way because Vera said he was?My mind drifted off to the party scene. Of course, he didn't act like a gentleman at all but come to think of it, he was there for me, his wife. I thought and frowned. Ex-wife, I repeated and turned again on my bed. I recalled his face and features."He is a nice handsome guy. Everything about his appearance fits the image of the kind of mind I will want," I thought and m
