For once, Olivia had no immediate comeback. She knew Gabby was perfectly capable. Antonio and Gabby had both been hired because they were good at what they did, and Cyprus had no reason to believe that she was unsafe with them.

This was not about whether Gabby could protect her. It was about the fact that he was worried. The realization settled strangely inside her. Olivia looked away. She should have refused, she knew that.

It would be the sensible thing to do. Getting into Cyprus’s car again

  • Falling For The CEO Again   59:  Sleep Peacefully

    Olivia had been staring at the same sketch for nearly ten minutes.The pencil remained suspended between her fingers, hovering above the page as ifsheer proximity to the paper might somehow convince her hand to start moving again. It did not. The half-finished design in front of her looked increasingly ridiculous the longer she studied it, particularly the oversized, puffy sleeves she had drawn with absolutely no conviction.Normally, this was where Olivia found peace.Once Hazel and Poppy were tucked into bed and the apartment had finally fallen quiet, she liked nothing more than settling herself at her desk with her sketchbook open in front of her. Designing was the one part of her life that did not demand anything from her beyond imagination. There were no photographers barking instructions, no deadlines breathing down her neck, no little girls arguing over which cartoon they were going to watch.There was simply pencil meeting paper and an idea slowly becoming something tangible.

    For once, Olivia had no immediate comeback. She knew Gabby was perfectly capable. Antonio and Gabby had both been hired because they were good at what they did, and Cyprus had no reason to believe that she was unsafe with them.This was not about whether Gabby could protect her. It was about the fact that he was worried. The realization settled strangely inside her. Olivia looked away. She should have refused, she knew that.It would be the sensible thing to do. Getting into Cyprus’s car again was hardly going to help the rumours that were already spreading online, and she certainly did not need another opportunity for the stalker to see them together.And yet, after everything that had happened lately, there was something unexpectedly reassuring about the thought of Cyprus Blackwell wanting to make sure she got home safely.It was ridiculous, especially considering she had spent years doing everything in her power to keep him away from the very children he was unknowingly growing att

  • Falling For The CEO Again   57:  Do Nothing

    People were expressing sympathy for her. Others were calling for Saint Liman to investigate Cyprus. Some were speculating that the reason Olivia had become the face of the campaign so quickly was because she had slept with him. Her face heated. “This is insane.”There were people dissecting the behind-the-scenes video. The way Cyprus had looked at her. The way she had looked back. The moment he had leaned toward her. The tension between them. Before, it had all been treated like entertaining gossip. A possible office romance. A flirtation. Something for fans to speculate about. Now those same moments had been repackaged as evidence. Olivia felt her stomach twist.Cyprus continued, “If I immediately come out and deny sleeping with you, people will ask why I’m specifically denying that part. If I deny coercing you, they’ll accuse me of trying to get ahead of the story.”Any reaction could be interpreted as guilt. Any silence could be interpreted as guilt.“She’s trying to force you into

  • Falling For The CEO Again   56: Scandal on the Horizon

    Near the monitor, Amara and Sacha stood together, still discussing something on the screen.Olivia approached them. “I'm leaving you two to whatever evil genius plan you're cooking up.”Amara waved distractedly. “Bye, Livienne.”“See you next shoot,” Sacha added.“See you.” Olivia made her way toward the exit.Marcus and Gustav were waiting near the entrance, and she offered them both a smile as Marcus retrieved her phone. “Have a good evening, Ms. Livienne,” Marcus said.Gustav nodded his own goodbye. Olivia stepped outside. The air was cooler than she had expected. She had barely made it a few feet from the studio doors when she noticed someone standing nearby. Olivia stopped at the sight of Cyprus. He stood just a short distance away, looking as if he had been there waiting.He was on a phone call, and whatever he was being told seemed to be doing a remarkable job of ruining his mood.Olivia noticed it before she was even close enough to hear his voice. He stood a few feet away fro

  • Falling For The CEO Again   55: Something to be Craved

    Olivia's smile faded slightly as she studied his reflection. His expression had taken on a different quality and became more serious. “We spent weeks creating that original campaign, and some bastard decided they could make money off it.”Olivia thought of the mole and felt that same flare of anger she had experienced when Sacha first told her about the leak. It had not been her designs. She had not created the campaign. But she had worked. She had spent long days on set. She had watched Jules and Celine and the rest of the team pour time and energy into making every detail work.Jules leaned back slightly, studying Olivia's makeup. “What motivates me,” he continued, “is knowing that this campaign can be even better than the one that was leaked.”Olivia's eyes met his in the mirror. A slow smile appeared on his face. “And knowing that we get to stick it to whoever the hell the spy is.”Olivia's own smile returned. “That too.”Soon, she was standing in front of the camera. The transf

    At the exact moment Sacha opened her mouth, Jules called from across the studio before she could say a word. “Livienne!”Olivia turned so quickly she almost gave herself whiplash. Jules stood beside one of the clothing racks, waving her over. “Come and see this.”“Saved by the bell,” Olivia muttered under her breath. Sacha's grin widened. Olivia ignored her and crossed the studio. The moment she got closer to Jules, her eyes landed on the outfit hanging before him. She stopped. “Oh.”It was a dress, technically. Olivia narrowed her eyes as she took it in. The thing was tiny, sequined, and dangerously skimpy, constructed in such a way that it gave the illusion that the woman wearing it was not wearing a dress at all but had simply been covered strategically in jewels. The sequins caught the studio lights and glittered brilliantly, while delicate strands of what looked almost like chains draped across sections of the bodice.It was dramatic, it was extravagant and it was so completely
