Semua Bab The Day She Chose Herself, He Begged For A Second Chance.: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Later that night. After dinner with her uncle and his family, Olivia retired to her room early. She lay on the bed unable to fall asleep, her thoughts were preoccupied by Jade's words. She failed to see what the latter meant, during dinner, the table was filled with genuine laughter and chats. She didn't find anything bad to hold them accountable for. They were nice and caring to her. Then her mind drifted back to the empty flashdrive her grandfather left for her. She immediately climbed out of bed and walked to the vanity table where she had placed the brown envelope earlier. She picked it up and pulled out the flashdrive. Olivia continued pacing around in deep thought, she closely examined the object in search of any tiny words or clues her grandfather must have left behind. Immediately, she noticed something. There was a narrow crack in the intersection of the flashdrive. She brought it closer to her face and gently pulled it apart. And to her amazement, it came apart to reve

Olivia's eyes slightly grew wide, she dropped her gaze to Seth's outstretched palm. That name sounded familiar to her, she knew she had heard his last name somewhere. “It's fine if you don't want to accept my handshake,” He paused, the door opened and a vibrant young lady rushed in with a lunch bag on one hand. “My woman doesn't like it either..”Agnes rushed forward into Seth's opened arms, she placed her face against his chest oblivious to the people around them. Olivia's throat tightened at the sight, she brought her eyes down when she saw them lean in for a kiss. She could feel the sting in her eyes hinting at tears but still managed to keep a straight face while she was crumbling down on the inside. “Asher, to celebrate your success, I made you a tasty treat for lunch. I know you're gonna love it..” Agnes continued. They finally pulled apart and that was the moment Agnes saw Olivia. She noticed the look of surprise in the latter's eyes and tilted her head with a smile. “Oh,

It was quite a stressful day for Olivia since she was new to all this office work. She wished that she had listened to her grandfather earlier and taken over when he was still alive, it would have been a lot easier for her. She was caught up in the uncompleted project her grandfather was working on before his demise. It was supposed to be launched two weeks ago but given the circumstances at hand, it had to be postponed. “Ma'am,” Jade called as she walked into the office, her eyes fixated on the tablet on her hand. “I've made a new schedule out of your grandfather's previous schedule. It's a lot but with time, you'll get used to it”Olivia rested her head against her chair's headrest, she groaned and turned her seat against Jade. “Oh, come on! I can barely feel my butt on this chair..” Jade hummed in response and began scrolling through the tablet on her left hand. “Yeah, I'll get your seat replaced tomorrow if you're not feeling comfortable with it. And before I forget, I've sen

Olivia's gaze dropped to the mug clasped on both of her hands. Her eyes were stained with fresh tears, before her was Jade who was staring at her meaningfully. “I know something happened back there between you both. He's trying to repeat the same thing he did before..” “No,” Olivia denied but her eyes said otherwise. “I won't repeat my mistake again. We can't throw him out of the company because that position is rightfully his, I just can't believe that Pops would do something like that to him after his parents death..”“But he's venting on the wrong person..” Jade retorted as she rose to her feet. “His inner child is still hurt and for him to have peace, he's coming after you because you had it all while he had nothing” Jade continued. “I won't let it happen again..”Olivia sniffed. She placed the mug on the coffee table before her and looked up to Jade. “Neither do I. That's the reason I want you to get that bodyguard as soon as possible. Sadly, I can't trust the ones Pops left b

Meanwhile... Fred wasn't settled in his father's house, his niece was desperately trying to throw him out and cast him aside like old rags. He has done everything in his power to bring his own family out of the shackles of poverty. “Any luck?” Stella asked as she touched her husband's arm. Her eyes fell on his worried face and she could derive her answer from his expression. “Every single lawyer has turned their backs against us in our time of need! I can't believe that a little girl like Olivia is about to beat me at my own game!” He snapped. Stella couldn't find the exact words to say that would pacify and control her husband's anger. “Oh dear, what do you think we should do? We can't afford to go back to that little house. Olivia is quite reasonable, I'm sure that I'll be able to convince her—” “No you can't!” Fred cut in sharply. He took a side glance at his wife. “She knows about the incident that happened years ago, that woman is no longer the little Olivia who loved
