Olivia Barnett POV

Before I could make a comeuppance, Josh turned around to leave.

He opened the door and closed it with a definitive click before I was able to rouse myself from a seeming deep sleep.

I stared at the shut door with an unending gaze.

“Mommy?” I was jolt

  • LOVE'S OVERRATED: Mr. Sterling, We're Over!   Chapter 163. Lose My Heart

    Lucy Cole POVOlivia looked aghast!She was clearly not agreeable to the agreement Todd and I just made.“What are you doing? Are you both crazy?” She gasped.But Todd and I turned to her, both with serious expressions on our faces. Then, we shared a look.And for the first time, I saw understanding in his eyes.We were both lonely.“No. We are not crazy. We just wanted to have someone because the prospect of facing life alone seemed more daunting.”Olivia stepped back emotionally, but her chin was shaking. “But what if the relationship did not work? What if this starts the breakup of our friendship? I am afraid.”Todd and I smiled at the admission.I nudged her by the shoulder and took another long sip of my cocktail.“We won’t. I promise.”Olivia did not look relieved. She looked doubtful and wary.“Hey, don’t worry about us. We are just trying the possibility. If it doesn't work out, we’ll stop. We will never lose our friendship over this.”Still unconvinced, Olivia grabbed a tiss

  • LOVE'S OVERRATED: Mr. Sterling, We're Over!   Chapter 162. Deal

    Olivia and I arrived together at the Club Royale, an exclusive membership club that caters to the rich.Todd was already there, sitting a bit uneasy. His eyes darted around, looking like a boy on Christmas Eve. Of course, we both couldn’t afford this club if it weren’t for Mr. Sterling.I really think that he’s making it up with Olivia.“This place is grand,” Todd commented.I grinned. “Of course. Nothing but the best for Mrs. Sterling.” I teased, glancing briefly at the bar where Mr. Sterling was sitting by his lonesome self, not too far from us, with a drink.Todd caught my gaze, and he seemed taken aback. My words were fully sinking in.

  • LOVE'S OVERRATED: Mr. Sterling, We're Over!   Chapter 161. How Not to be a B*stard in Front of Your Wife?

    Josh Morgan Sterling POVMy hand tightened around the shot glass as I watched my wife have a good time with her college friends. My eyes narrowed suspiciously at the familiar man with them.“Hey, stop giving the man the dagger look. He is Olivia and Lucy’s friend from way back from college.” Lucas slid to the bar counter stool next to me.He gestured for the waiter, grabbed peanuts from the bowl sitting on the counter, and popped them in his mouth.I invited him tonight after Olivia told me she was catching up with Lucy and one male friend back in college.It was right after we talked about the children’s paternity. After the emotional moment, she was so happy when she told me. I did not even have time to say no.I wanted to disallow her, but that would be insane. Olivia, as she had proven time and time again to me, is a woman all on her own.When his order arrived, I shot him a confused look.“You are getting drunk?” I asked.“Maybe.”His reply puzzled me.Lucas was not a hard drinke

  • LOVE'S OVERRATED: Mr. Sterling, We're Over!   Chapter 160. Lost Her

    Zeke Alexander POVWe were out of Sterling Enterprises when I snuck a look at my passenger. She was silent. Her hands were placed neatly in her lap, and her eyes were fixed ahead.Her breathing was steady.“Why did you choose me?” I asked, breaking the silence between us.“I did not choose you. I just chose peace.”My gaze shifted back to the front to concentrate on my driving. The traffic was light. There was no traffic to distract me.I sighed and gripped the steering wheel.From the corner of my eye, I kept glancing at her, noticing the steady rise and fall of her chest. She did not look like a trapped animal

  • LOVE'S OVERRATED: Mr. Sterling, We're Over!   Chapter 159. Second Goodbye

    Amee Wilson POVThe rest of the day flew by in a blur.I was busy preparing documents, and before I knew it, it was already late when Lucas placed a glass of water in front of me.“You did not take a break.” He told me.I gratefully took the glass. “Thanks. I was busy. I tend to forget things sometimes.The look he gave me was sharp. “Don’t forget to drink water. It’s important for your health.” He crafted his sentences vaguely, without giving any hint to anyone within earshot about my real condition, and I was grateful.He sat on the corner of my desk. The casual action created a ripple effect in the office. There was a hushed silence that it caused in the glass sloshed.“Careful.” He said, and wrapped his fingers around the glass to steady my hold on it, causing our fingers to touch.“Sir.” I tried to call his attention. If he hadn’t realized it yet, I think he should now.But his attention was all on me. “Sir? Didn’t we clear this already? Call me Lucas. No one’s gonna bite your he

  • LOVE'S OVERRATED: Mr. Sterling, We're Over!   Chapter 158. A Great Guy to Date

    Lucy Cole POVI pressed a hand to my chest, feeling light-headed all of a sudden.I don’t know what is wrong with me.Was it because I had uncovered a secret I was not supposed to know? But that was absurd! I had been privy to all of Olivia’s secrets before; nothing like this ever happened to me.I ran toward the elevator bank. I caught the elevator just before it closed, and got in.I retreated to the far side of the rectangular box, leaned back, and pressed the back of my head on the wall.Then I closed my eyes and let out a sigh, but in my memory there was a vivid image of Lucas Morris staring straight up at me, which made my pulse rise again.What is happening? Something is definitely not right with me.When the elevator reached our floor, I got out so fast and went straight to my cubicle. Because I was in a hurry and was not looking where I was going, I bumped into Maisie, who was also scurrying off somewhere.She was surprised to see me.She took one look at my flushed face and
