The next day, Olivia woke up nice and early, she took a shower and dressed up before going down to join Grace for breakfast. When she got downstairs, Grace was already eating her breakfast and was prepared for work. She was reading the morning papers while sipping water from a glass, she looked up when she sensed someone approaching "hey Olivia, you are really dressed this morning" she measured her from her head to the male shirt and pants she was putting on down to her shoes "and like a man. Where to?"
Olivia rolled her eyes before pulling out a seat and sitting down, she grabbed a plate of waffles before glancing at her aunt "don't tell me you are that forgetful aunt Grace. I told you last night I will be joining you to the office today to get an office and again, Kane is taking me sightseeing." "Oh, that's true. I actually forgot" she dropped the papers and continued with her food "you are in luck though. My managing Director called in sick this morning, perhaps you can stay as a substitute for him till he returns, how about that?""Me, a managing director? That's awesome!""Of course, at least if you tell Kane your position in the office, he will see you as the...well, the man you are" she rolled her eyes while Olivia chuckled "really, I can't believe you are taking this, this far. If you start work like this then all my employees will believe you to be a man. One little lie escalading.""Don't worry aunt, believe me, you will really not have the need to explain things to anyone.""Meaning you are going to be Oliver for the rest of your life?" Grace asked with a raised eyebrow and a bit alarmed."I can't tell yet. Maybe I will drop this act in the near future but it certainly aren't anytime soon" she smiled.Grace shook her head unbelievably, "eat up. We don't want to be late, you will need to settle in before your date with Kane.""For the last time aunt, it's not a date.""Whatever" Grace waved her off before continuing with her food.They arrived at the company and Grace showed her to her office, "this is the managing director's office. This is Devon Nelson, your secretary" she pointed at a red hue haired girl, "why don't you call out everyone Devon, I have an announcement to make."
The girl called Devon glanced at Olivia with infatuated eyes before leaving the office. Damn, her work just got interesting, a lot of her friends are the secretaries of handsome young bosses and she had to be the secretary of an old man and now, a new boss just arrived in town and she is his secretary, this is amazing.Olivia will be a fool if she says she didn't notice the way Devon looked at her or him, she smiled. It's good to know she has her brother's charm on women. If not, how will she be able to pull this off? "So I will be staying here now?""Yes, till Douglas return. By then, I will have someplace permanent for you. Come on, let's go tell everyone who you are and stop the gossipy stares they have been directing at you since we came in."Olivia chuckled "sure aunt." They both left the office to the lobby where everyone gathered."Everyone, this is Oliver, my nephew. Douglas, the managing director called in sick this morning and lucky enough, Oliver is around, so he will be standing in for Douglas till he returns and by then, we will have a permanent post for him but for now, he is the managing director. So you all should welcome him and make him at home" Grace announced.Everyone welcomed Olivia and some shook hands with her while some girls were already infatuated with her handsome face. She bonded with people a lot because of her sweet mouth and it wasn't long, she had made friends. She returned to her office to get her first job down. It was a good thing she studied business management in school and so it wasn't hard for her to adapt in her new work.Devon knocked on her door after two hours of being busy at work and she let her in, "sorry sir, I wanted to ask if you want coffee?""Sure, get me extra large" Olivia beamed and Devon melted."Okay sir" she turned around to hide her blush which Olivia detected and smiled."Em Dev, thanks. You don't mind me calling you that do you?" She winked."Call me anything you want sir. I'm at your service" Devon smiled before leaving the office and something tells Olivia that her services doesn't mean only at work.***The day has gone half but she has received no calls from Kane and even though she didn't want to admit it, she was a little disappointed. She had actually been looking forward to looking at his face again. Those cold but beautiful hazel eyes and dark slicked back hair that she really want to feel it's softness on her fingers. Stop Olivia, she cautioned herself. She picked up her phone to call him but can't, it will be wrong if she call him first, she thought.But it won't be if she is a man right? She asked herself and immediately dialed his number. The call was picked at second ring and his deep magnetic voice was heard, "hello?" Olivia took her time to digest his voice before clearing her throat to switch in her male's voice, "someone forgot a promise you know and I hate whenever I'm forgotten.""Oliver" Kane called, "listen I'm sorry but I'm kind of busy. And important personnel who was supposed to visit next week somehow arrived today and I can't leave him hanging. How about we postpone our tour to another day but don't worry, I will still pick you tonight so we can grab a drink or two?"Olivia was silent, she can't understand this feeling she felt inside, something like dejection? But why? "Sure, cool but I'm still not happy. If I hadn't phoned you, you wouldn't have called to tell me." "Dude I'm sorry. I got carried away. Let me make it up to you tonight okay? We can grab dinner and I will take you to a nice club, it's part of the touring after all.""Your treat."Kane laughed, "sure, my treat and a fine wine to go with it.""Okay then, looking forward to it.""Alright then. See you tonight" he hung up.Olivia stared at her phone and smiled, she put it down to continue with her work.The day flew by in the blink of an eye and it was closing hours. There was a knock on the door and she called out to the person to enter. Devon stepped inside the office then, "sir, I was wondering if there is any last thing you will want me to do for you?"Olivia smiled, "no Dev I'm good, you can leave if you are done with your work. I'm going to look for my aunt.""Okay sir, goodnight.""See you tomorrow Dev, take good care of yourself.""Thank you sir" with that, she left the office while Olivia arranged her desk before leaving the office to her aunt's own.She knocked and entered when she heard her aunt's voice telling her to enter, "hey aunt.""I didn't see you leave in the afternoon. I thought you had a date with Kane?""Aunt, if someone hear you, they will think I'm gay as well as Kane. Wouldn't that be such a big news?" She sat down opposite her aunt with a smirk.Grace rolled her eyes, "fine, I thought you would be meeting up with Kane today for your touring?""Yep" she picked up a magazine from the desk and flipped through it "but an important personnel showed up and he couldn't leave him alone so we rescheduled.""To when?""Don't know don't care" she dropped the magazine back on the desk "actually we will be meeting tonight though. He asked to take me to dinner to make up to me and then we can grab a drink or two.""Even though you are dressed like a man and you act like a man, may I remind you that you are not a man and shouldn't drink too much? Mind the way you drink when you go out with him tonight.""Aunt" Olivia rolled her eyes "you might not know but Oliver use to challenge me to a beer tong and I use to beat him most a times. I'm good." "Just be careful.""Sure. You done, can we go now?""Yes, let me just put my signatures in this document.""Sure" she picked up the magazine once more and began flipping through it again.Kane called her later in the night and told her he was outside the gate. She left her room and met her aunt in the living room "I'm out. Kane is outside.""Okay dear, have fun but please, try to be back on time.""Come on aunt, I can take care of myself.""Olivia!""It's Oliver aunt" she smirked "don't worry, I will be back before twelve" she picked up a slice of apple from a plate beside Grace "I gotta hurry, Kane is waiting" she dashed out of the house and Grace looked at the housekeeper worriedly."Please tell me I'm not making a wrong decision by letting her model her brother" she kneaded her temple tiredly."Since it makes her happy, you are not doing anything wrong. She will come out of it someday when she realizes she doesn't want to be her brother for the rest of her life" Evelyn, the housekeeper said."If Mirabelle find out I let her daughter impersonate her late brother, she will kill me and talk about my brother Malcolm.""I'm sure they will unders
"Wow, killer at six o'clock" Olivia commented.Kane heaved a deep sigh before looking back "Priscilla, never figured I will see you here.""Me neither, how have you been? It's been long" Priscilla said when she was close to them."Yep it has been. When did you return?""This morning. I'm sorry I couldn't make it to your birthday last night.""It's okay. No big deal nor hard feelings. How have things been with you?""Great. I was actually thinking of asking you out but since you are here, how about I join you guys?" She looked at Olivia, "but before then can I ask who your friend is? I don't think I have seen him before.""This is Oliver, I met him him in my party last night. He is Grace Herrington's nephew.""Oh, nice meeting you Oliver. I'm Priscilla, Kane's...friend" she smiled.Olivia noticed the hesitation there but she still smiled, "well, any friend of Kane is a friend of mine.""Thank you. I hope to see you around sometimes" she smiled and faced
Olivia woke up with a sharp headache, she groaned and her hand went to her temple, kneading it softly. She got out of the bed to realize she was still in her yesterday's clothes. She yawned and wondered what happened last night, how she got to be in her room. She undressed and went into the bathroom, she searched the shelf in the bathroom for aspirin which she took to numb her headache.After a steamy shower, she left the bathroom for her closet where she got in a business suit. Drying her hair, she put on her wig to complete her male look before going downstairs.Her aunt was already sitting on the dinning with a cup of coffee as she skim through the papers as usual."Good morning aunt" she greeted with a yawn and pulled out a chair to seat on.Grace watched her very action before shaking her head slowly, "what happened to knowing how to take care of yourself?""Aunt, don't start now. What really happened last night anyway?""I will tell you the one I know. Kane b
Five minutes later, "Oliver" she heard and glanced up to see Kane striding towards her "I'm sorry to keep you waiting. You should have told me you were coming.""And ruin the surprise? Hell no" she stood up and gave him a brotherly hug.Kane froze.Why is his body so soft?Why does he want to hold on to him and not end the hug?"I kinda wanted to know if I will catch you with a woman" she winked.Kane rolled his eyes."Like hell. There are some things I don't bring to the office.""Oh, looks like Kane has a protocol" she laughed and they fell into steps together. Passing the receptionist, she beamed "thanks for your TLC."The girl blushed really hard but couldn't make a comment because of Kane.Kane stared at Olivia with a raised eyebrow "got my female workers under your tiny finger?""Come on, give me some credit. It's not my fault they can't stand my beauty" she smirked.They got into the private elevator for Kane and went straight to his office
The rest of the day passed in a blur, and soon, she was home with Grace. Evelyn greeted them at the door before telling them dinner will be ready soon."Just what were you thinking Olivia? How could you suggest that?" Grace bellowed as she walked into the house."Come on aunt, there is nothing wrong with it. It's just staying the weekend with him, that's all.""Really?" Grace turned to face her "may I remind you that you are a woman and you are going to stay a full weekend with a man like Kane?""Aunt please. I'm not a baby, I'm almost twenty two and if it comes to that, I'm not even a virgin. So it's not like he will be deflowering me or anything of that sort. Besides, you don't even have to worry much, he believes I'm a man. Unless you are suggesting Kane is gay."Grace swallowed all she said "that's the thing Olive. It's almost easier putting on your charade when you are here but when living with him? It will be difficult to carry on with that you know.""Aunt,
Olivia woke up to someone snuggling into her arms, her eyes settled on Caroline who was trying all her best to be quiet and she immediately jumped out of the bed when she noticed Caroline was naked, "Jesus Carol, what in the world are you doing?"Caroline placed her index finger on her lips to shush her, she picked the headphone on the bed and turned it off. Olivia stared at her, the headphone must have fallen off while she was sleeping. But no, she is not worrying about that yet, why is Caroline in her room and naked?"What the hell Caroline?" She asked a little annoyed."What does it look like? And moreover, if you keep being so loud you are going to wake everybody up" she rolled her eyes."I don't care if everybody wakes up, I just want to know what you are doing!""Oh come on Oliver, why are you acting as if you are seeing a naked woman for the first time?""I would be if that woman is my best friend's sister who he has warned me to stay away from!""Just st
They left the penthouse later and grabbed brunch like Kane suggested. The touring was fun since Kane tried his best to tell a story concerning any place they visited. They went for a late dinner later in the night and turned in immediately they got to the penthouse.The next day brought about Kane suggesting them to have a swim which Olivia couldn't help but decline. There is no way she is going to swim topless with Kane. Her breasts might be small but that doesn't mean it wouldn't poke out for Kane to notice. Her excuse for declining ended up that she wasn't feeling better.The rest of the day was fun apparently she didn't know Kane was so much fun. They competed on who can cook better homemade lasagna as they both set to work in the kitchen, leaving it like a mess when they were done. They first ate Kane's lasagna and Olivia has to admit that his tastes so much better than hers, after all, she has never been a good cook. Oliver always make a jest of her with that as he was a
At the underground parking lot, she got into Kane's car and his fingers tightened on the steering wheel. Her brows furrowed, why is Kane acting all funny this morning? "Hey, you okay?""Em, yeah, yeah" Kane replied without looking at him. He started the car and they left the parking lot. The ride inside the car was more than awkward, Kane was acting as if being around her was like being around a ticking time bomb.She couldn't understand why he has to be behaving like that and it was almost getting on her nerves, "what the hell Kane? You have been acting as if you are on tenterhooks all morning. Can you stop now, you are freaking me out.""Sorry about that, it's just...there is a meeting I'm having this morning. It's just, you know. I will be speaking with the board of directors without my father today so...I'm kind of nervous on what they will think of me."Olivia glanced at him after his explanation, Kane, nervous because of a stupid meeting? Yeah right, she does
