CHAPTER 22 OLIVIA When I got to the departure gate, the man there blocked my path. I swallowed hard, raising my gaze to him, my face plastered with a bright smile. “Hello, gentlemen. Good morning! My name is Olivia. I have an appointment with Mr. and Mrs. Smith over here.” They both glanced at each other. One of them nodded at the other, and then he left. I watched him go meet the middle-aged couple and point fingers at me; they exchanged some words I didn't hear. Fuck. I should have at least told Williams about this. These people don't know me. Well, they know Olivia Brown, but they don't know this new Olivia. We have never met before, even when I was with my family. I usually just heard their names in the news or when my father spoke about them around me. I knew them for their wealth and typical stubbornness. And most importantly, Mr. Smith—he has three wives and about four baby mamas. The man is in his late sixties, but he still bags the ladies like some kind of infinity stones

CHAPTER 24 WILLIAMS I still can't believe that she let the Smiths slip through our fingers just like that. I begged her; I asked her to make sure she did her job well. I trusted her, and look what she repaid me with? Betrayal? I shook my head, averting my gaze outside. I had been calling the Smiths' PA for the last few hours, and she hasn't been picking up her phone. I guess she knows why I was calling her. The idea that the Smiths just cut short our contract without any prior issues is infuriating. They didn't even wait for me; they just cut it off. Well, not that I didn't know that family was filled with a bunch of unhinged individuals, but I was still trying to get them back. The case is a class action. The Smiths are well-known in this part of the world. Any lawyer who wins it is like winning a gold medal in the Olympics. That attorney would be the hottest in the game for the next season, and the firm would be the right place for any intern or any new cases. This was going to

CHAPTER 26WILLIAMS I watched her slip into the cab as it whisked her away. It was clear she was still angry with me. All she had been giving me was a cold attitude since she arrived at the firm. She didn't smile anymore. She didn't throw little jabs at me like she used to when she was working. Now, she only came in when necessary, strictly for work-related matters.Once she came in, she informed me of what needed to be done, but not only that—she now used a formal tone with me. I had warned her a couple of minutes earlier to just call me by my name instead of the "sir, sir" bullshit. And now she was back to it. She was trying to piss me off, and yes, it was working rapidly. The thought of her being so close yet so far drained me every minute. I wasn't supposed to be close to her now, but when I saw her packing her bags on the CCTV footage, I realized she was about to leave. I hastened my steps to the garage to pull out my car so I could drive her home. Drive her home and ask a few q

CHAPTER 29OLIVIA "I'm going with you," he pushed his chair back, standing up while I just watched. There was no way he was going to the biker's club with me. Once he went there, he would ruin all my plans. From the information I had gathered, bikers flock more to women who come to the club without any other partner. They conclude you must be single, and then they shoot their shots. But when you come there with a man, the majority of them would let you go and not speak to you. The ones who would engage would likely be the ones who disregard their morals and rules—probably the irresponsible ones.And if someone like Williams decided to go with me in his suit, along with all his expensive watches and shoes, he’d grab all the attention, and my going there would be ruined entirely. Every biker would want to talk with him to see why someone as rich as he is came to that biker's neighborhood. I can't take the risk. Most bikers are honest, but this one is far from it. The

CHAPTER 31WILLIAMS "Come on, guys, let's leave this talk of work. I came here to have a good time, not to speculate about work. If I wanted anything about work, then I would have just stayed back at my office and buried my head deep in it," I said, walking away to grab a cup of wine.Once I got there, I greeted the bartender, and she poured me a shot. I downed it immediately and asked for two more. I just wanted something to take my mind off Olivia for a moment. After that, I picked up my phone again and noticed she had sent me her location. I heaved a deep sigh before swinging my phone back into my pocket. Right now, I felt a little relieved. I knew her location, and if any of those motherfuckers touched her, they'd have me to contend with.I moved and joined the boys playing soccer tennis. We played for several minutes, with Lucas being too hard on himself. Olivia must have hurt his feelings badly when she took back the Smith case from him. There were n
