Revenge on My Heartless Husband and Daughter (Tiffany) novel Chapter 109

Chapter 109

“Alexander? I really need to speak with you about Ben Wilde.

It’s urgent.“‘

“Come in.”

Olivia sighed then pushed the door open. She stepped into the

room to find Alexander had changed from his business attire

into a casual button–down shirt and dark jeans. It made him

look more approachable, but Olivia was still wary..

“I’m sorry for disturbing you. But I received two messages from Steven regarding Ben Wilde. Ben suggested postponing today’s

scheduled events until tomorrow, and instead invited you to a

wine tasting at his private villa by 7pm. I came to inform you

earlier, but you didn’t answer.”

Olivia’s cheeks grew warm as she continued. She didn’t want it to appear like she was scolding her boss. But she needed him to

properly understand the situation.

“So I took it upon myself to have Steven keep Ben waiting for a response. He seems quite eager to meet.”

Alexander simply nodded. “I see what you’re doing. And you don’t need to worry about it, Olivia. You handled the situation

appropriately.””

Olivia instantly felt relieved. She’d been apprehensive of his reaction. With her boss, you never really knew what you’d get.

Alexander moved toward his dresser, pulled out a watch and

fastened it around his wrist. “Please let Ben know that I’ll be

there on time.”

Olivia hesitated for a beat. Alexander seemed to be in a múch

better mood. He wasn’t exactly smiling, but he wasn’t glaring at

everything in sight either. Considering the fact that Ben’s antic’s

had put him in a sour mood, earlier, she worried that being in

the same room with Ben would bring him right back to that

place.

But Alexander was an adult, and more importantly, he was

skilled when it came to reading people and situations. She had

learned to trust his judgment, and she would leave it at that.

“Of course. I’ll send the confirmation right away!” She reached

for her phone and typed a quick message to Steven. And when

her phone buzzed, she looked up at Alexander and said, “Done.

Steven will inform Ben.”

Alexander nodded, then moved toward the window. “Maybe a

walk before dinner is a good idea. You could clear your head.”

Olivia was shocked. The sun had disappeared, leaving behind

the shadowy look of the evening. How could Alexander suggest

that she go on a walk by herself? She didn’t know the area well.

She could get lost… among other things.

comes with demons.”

Olivia suppressed the urge to roll her eyes. Instead, she played along, eyes widening as she moved a step closer to him.

“Demons? What do they want?”

“They call out people’s names. They manipulate their voices so they sound exactly like someone you know and trust. Perhaps a friend, a lover, a family member. But if you answer, they will

devour your soul on the spot.”

“That’s terrifying. How do you know if it’s really a demon

calling your name or just… well, the person you think it is?”

Alexander seemed to appreciate how she seemed so engrossed

in the tale he was telling. “That’s just it. You can never be

certain. The only way to protect yourself is to never answer

any call at dusk.” He paused dramatically. “No matter how

familiar the voice sounds.”

Olivia nodded quietly. She wanted to keep him talking to see

how far he could spin this tale. But she eventually gave up and

they continued their walk in comfortable silence

Eventually, they reached a small pavilion right beside the

valley. They settled onto one of the benches, and for several

minutes, all they did was watch the sun descend. It was an

intimate moment, one neither of them intended to create.
