Watch Me Win Alpha (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 133

Chapter 133

And even more pressing, I had that meeting with Ava that started soon. After that horrible situation with Ethan at lunch, I’d decided that I’d just write that stupid letter for him so I could get him out of my life and hopefully never see him or Chole again. But I wanted to consult Ava about it first and see what she thought about it.

I couldn’t tell Alexander no, though. He was my boss and he was right when he said that this would be a great networking opportunity for me. It went deeper than that. Alexander had saved me from being stuck in that room today, then comforted me and stayed with me when I was having an emotional breakdown. It felt like I owed him this.

“I would be happy to go with you tonight,” I told him.

“Excellent,” he said and then led the way out of his office.

Near the elevator, we encountered Gai.

“I solved my problem,” he told her. “Olivia is going to come with me to the function tonight.”

Gai’s eyes shot to mine, and she frowned as she studied the bags under my eyes. “Alexander, Olivia looks exhausted. Why don’t you just go to the party by yourself?”

He shot Gai an angry look. “I need a date at a function like this to accompany me, you know that,” Alexander snapped in a cold voice.

The outrage in his voice seemed to shock Gai into silence.

She cut her eyes to me, and I gave her a small smile because I knew that she had tried her best to get me out of tonight. I tried to convey my

gratitude for her with a simple look.

As Alexander and I rode the elevator to the parking garage, I sent a message to Ava postponing our meeting. I really needed to talk to her because I didn’t want Ethan breathing over my shoulder for the rest of my life, but I couldn’t say no to Alexander tonight. Not with the crappy mood he was in.

At least I would be able to drive since I usually drove Alexander’s car. I walked up to the driver’s seat, but when I looked into the window, I stopped short.

A jolt of surprise went down my spine.

Someone was already in his car.

*Olivia*

A man in a black chauffeur cap saw me and rolled down the window.

“Good evening, maʼam,” he said politely. “I’m Richard.”

“You’ll do,” he said in a teasing tone.

“Why do you want to attend tonight? Don’t you usually skip these sort of things?” I asked.

“I told you. It’s a good networking opportunity.”

I remained quiet after that. I could tell that he had another reason for going. I just couldn’t figure out what it was.

Soon, Richard pulled up to a luxury hotel. At the entrance, there was paparazzi, and even a red carpet rolled out for the event.

“I’m not dressed for this kind of gala,” I hissed at Alexander as Richard opened our car door.

But he ignored my comment as he helped me out of the car.

Cameras flashed in every direction as we walked down the red carpet.

“That’s Olivia!” I heard more than one photographer yell.

My cheeks heated as all eyes turned to us as we walked through the doors into the grand entrance hall. With my connections to the Hawthorne and Windsor family, Alexander and I immediately became the center of attention. Whispers followed us as we made our way to the banquet hall where the event was being held.
