Watch Me Win Alpha (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 121

Chapter 121

We didn’t speak as we began to pile food onto our plate. But as I watched Alexander devour his breakfast, I couldn’t stop thinking about last night. He seemed so calm and collected now, just like his usual self. Meanwhile, last night had been a horrific experience.

Whatever Ben had put in that whatever must have been strong enough to knock down an Alpha.

Still, the image of him in that bathroom, vulnerable and alone, dealing with the after effects of the drug made my chest tighten.

“Olivia.” I jerked, realizing I’d been staring at my barely touched eggs for several minutes. “Are you all right? You seem… unsettled.”

“I’m fine,” I lied and forced myself to take a bite of eggs. They tasted like sand. But I forced it down my throat.

He studied me for a moment, then set down his fork. “I need to apologize.” His eyes met mine. There was guilt in them. “Last night, when I kissed you… I shouldn’t have done that. It was wrong of me, and I take full responsibility.”

“No.” I’d been trying to forget that had happened at all. And now, he’d brought the image to the forefront of my mind. “I don’t need your apology. It didn’t happen, alright? It was the drugs, some kind of delusion. So just forget about it, okay? Pretend it never happened, because that’s what I’m going to do.”

I couldn’t read Alexander’s expression. And I didn’t have time to, because my phone buzzed against the table. Gai’s name flashed across the screen. Grateful for the distraction, I grabbed it immediately.

“I wanted to update you on the situation from last night. Ben Wilde has left the resort, and he took his friends with him. He used food poisoning as an excuse, but we know better. Anyways, Alpha Alexander would have to attend the acceptance ceremony alone.”

My eyes shifted to Alexander. From the way his jaw was clenched tightly, I knew he’d heard everything.

He pushed his chair back and rose to his feet. “Come on. You’re going to accompany me now.”

I groaned, but got up anyway.

“Olivia, is this okay with you?” I heard him ask, almost as if he could sense I didn’t want to be here.

But that didn’t make me feel any better. It’s not like he’d listen to what I wanted anyways. I was certain he was just testing me. No, he was daring me to act in an unprofessional manner. He wanted me to lose my cool and yell at him. But I wouldn’t take the bait.

“Yes, it is. We can head to the airport once you’ve concluded your business.”

Alexander smiled at me, but something in his eyes made me fear that I was on the verge of losing my job.

*Olivia*

What have I gotten myself into? I thought as the car made a sharp right, turning away from the airport completely. It was only when I saw the bright LED sign of the private club up ahead, that I realized how badly I wanted to go back to New York.

The moment the car rolled to the stop outside the club, I was already reaching for the door. I moved to the trunk and grabbed my luggage.
