LOGIN~Olivia~ Alex sent me her school details even though I told him that it was fine and he shouldn’t bother because I’m sure she would be fine. But no he sent the details and now I was clocking out just a little early from work because somehow I couldn’t just get rid of the thought that she was gonna be back anywhere from 4pm. I shouldn’t be bothered, I mean she’s seventeen and could take care of herself perfectly. Let’s not forget the fact that she can cook.. to the best of my knowledge. But no, I clearly didn’t let that sink properly and was home now. And she was right at the island when I came in. Digging her hands into something. It was 4:20pm, almost the same time I predicted she would be back after I calculated the distance from her school to the house. She raised her head to see who walked in. And I didn't want her getting any ideas since that was possible since I didn’t come in with Nathan. Let’s just say I wanted to come back on time because I can and nothing becau
~Olive~“You didn’t tell me about this?” I dragged my fingers across his new desk. It was weird to see him here but hmm.. not so bad either. “Oh I had no idea you didn’t know.” He adjusted his glasses, looking so off behind his setup. I nodded, gesturing with my hands that it was okay. It’s not like we were in great talking terms and that was majorly on me. I looked at him and he’s alerted by my look. Looking confused why I looked at him like that but he waited for me to spill my thoughts and didn’t urge me. “If you are here, then who’s gonna manage the other branch?” It was a valid question since I knew he was always up and everywhere. And now putting him here? It didn’t feel much like him. I thought I was saying something quite serious but nope.. Alex is smiling and staring right back at me. “What? You really like it here?” More than the well put office he definitely had back in the other branch. “Erhm, I wouldn’t say I don’t and you should know that it’s temporary. I was
~Olivia~ “You should have told me if anyone was giving you issues, especially if that person was my damn secretary.” “For fucks sake Olivia, you have no idea how I felt hearing her trying to paint you as something else in my face.” He was mad angry but still tried to speak calmly to me. But the way he looked at me, held me sat at this exact spot like he wanted to purposely show me how he felt and not say it with words. I swallowed in nothing. Okay, it looks like whatever happened was serious. He very much sounded like it. “What happened?” I feigned ignorance again, trying my best to skip the part where he was trying to tell me that he was angry at me. I was the one pretending to be angry at him a few minutes ago, why were hands changing so fast. “Don’t switch up anything Olivia. I was gonna ask you when I was a lot calmer about the situation but clearly I can't push it off any longer.” He uttered, having complete control of his temper right now. Impressive. Though his eye
~Olive~ “Hey” I said with a small smile plastered on my face as I let myself in. He took his time before looking up and when he eventually did. There’s a small frown on his face, though it was obvious he knew it was me who walked in. “Hey.” He said the same thing, and gave me back my monotonous words. I brushed it off, then walked closer. I know he has every right to be slightly angry with me since he single handedly texted me about lunch and what he would be ordering. So it was quite normal to see him like this after delaying for about twenty minutes, if not more because I sat down with Emily to think through her words if I should come up here to ask directly or find out on our own. I eventually I’m here after she literally begged me to leave. I didn’t feel like apologizing and besides I don’t see any lunch here yet. Or did he cancel because I didn’t show up on time?? Nah.. Nathan wasn’t that petty. “Er .. erm” I cleared my throat to get his attention back on me as he alr
~Olivia~ “So she’s still at home?” Emily asked, a lot surprised by the news I freely told her. I came here immediately, it was lunch time and as I wanted, I didn’t have to overwork myself upon resumption back to work. And so I had the time to give her the latest. “Should be or maybe she’s resumed classes already.” I filled her in, looking past the surprise look on her face. Of course she knew I wasn’t a wicked person and even if I ever mentioned not wanting to deal with Chloe, I definitely could go on with keeping her away. And again, I think I’ve calmed down more but I still would keep my distance. “What really changed your mind?” She tilted her head, looking at me closely like that would surprisingly make a complicated answer spill out. I smiled, not out of my will but because Emily was forcing me too. “I couldn’t keep her away from her brother and sincerely I have no issues with the teenager.” I hope this was enough for her to drop it. I just wanted to let her in about
~Olive~ “What? Why’s your face that way?” “You knew she wanted to stay didn’t you?” He asked, immediately he walked through those doors. I didn’t have to say anything. Just looked at him with a normal face till he walked towards me at the coach. Of course I knew, though I realized a little too late. “So what did you tell her?” That was what he was supposed to be saying. I was hoping that she did say it and didn't fly back with regret in her heart. That would have made an even rude Chloe and by then I’m sure she’d act her hate towards her brother even more and I might just be part of the list. Scrap might, it would have been definite at this point. “What exactly was I supposed to say?” He looked confused and sounded the past. He sat down beside me and I looked at him, partly I knew this was gonna happen. “Tell me you said something to her?” I focused all my own attention on him. But he didn’t say anything, didn’t have an answer to my question. “Are both of you blind or ju
~Olive~ “What do you mean he wants to give it to me in person?” My voice spirals out of control, the spoon in my hand hangs midair. “He’s saying he’ll hang around the office on Monday so you both could talk it over.” Something underneath her tone as she sounded as pissed as I was. I hushed down
~Olive~ I wasn’t angry, there wasn’t any need to be. I was so damn sure that she wouldn’t ever betray me.. well not like this was some serious issue to be tagged betrayal or anything. But I didn’t quite expect money to be involved. Innocent me just thought Nathan likely just used his authority
~Nathan~ “This is pretty nice, I’m guessing you put in a lot of effort for this.” She muttered with a smile that reached her eyes, taking another quick look around. . Her words just the right fit I needed to hear at the moment. I had to act normal and not let anything unusual show on my face
