Chapter 106
“There’s nothing to be embarrassed of, Olivia. I mean, it was very obvious how bad you wanted to lay on my shoulder. You
even mumbled in your sleep. I believe your exact words were
something along the lines of needing a ‘comfortable pillow.”
“That’s not true!” Olivia protested, sitting up abruptly and
looking between Alexander and the driver for support.
He caught her eye in the rearview mirror and nodded
apologetically. “Sorry, miss, but you did mumble something
about being comfortable when the boss tried to adjust your
position earlier.”
Olivia’s face turned an even deeper shade of red. “You should
have pushed me away or woken me up!” She pointed an
accusatory finger at Alexander. “This is completely
inappropriate!”
Alexander gasped dramatically. “I don’t abuse my subordinates. And quite frankly, I’m offended that you would suggest such a thing. What kind of boss would I be if I disturbed someone’s
much–needed rest?”
Olivia was completely speechless. She was convinced she had to
have walked into an alternate reality, because there was no
Chapter 106
way this was happening right now. Her mouth opened and closed without making a single sound as she struggled to find a comeback that wouldn’t dig her deeper into a widening hole of
embarrassment.
But thankfully, the convoy eventually arrived at the resort
nestled in the mountains of Linville. As Alexander and Olivia
stepped out of the car, they were immediately greeted by a
small group of professionals, including Steven Miller, the
project manager (a tall man with gray hair and dark eyes), and
Robert Evans, the chief engineer, (a well–built middle–aged man
with a chiseled chin and green eyes).
“Welcome to Pine Ridge Resort,” Steven said, pointing toward
the impressive building that rose majestically against the
mountain backdrop. “We’re excited to show you what we’ve
accomplished here.”
Alexander nodded enthusiastically, his company managed this
place primarily, so he was particularly eager to see the progress
they’d made.
And so, the group ventured into the main building of the resort.
Alexander was pleased as he walked in. He assessed the
grounds, which were filled with delicate flowers, vases, a
courtyard with a sprawling water fountain and perfectly
trimmed hedges. Beautiful white horses, ostriches and even
swans were being led around by the staff.

and a muscle in his face twitched as he processed the
information.
His reaction didn’t appear to bode well for Ben Wilde.
*Author*
Alexander’s mind was fixated on Ben Wilde. The man was
known for his drinking, but he’d expected that even Ben would
know when to draw a line between business and pleasure. This
was a new business venture, the last thing he needed was some
form of spectacle.
He was still thinking about what to do with the information
presented to him even as the bus drove through the resort. And
when he finally looked out the window, he realized that Steven
had outdone himself.
Not only were they/taking the scenic route to showcase all the
resort had to offer, but Steven had selected possibly the best
Villa for Alexander to take residence.
The Green Group had approved the design, but seeing that come

to life was breathtaking.
It was a sprawling Mediterranean estate, which was flanked by an olive garden and a pristine water fountain in front. As they pulled through the iron gates, Steven immediately began to brief Alexander on the afternoon’s rest arrangements and the subsequent resort visits he had meticulously planned for the coming days.
