Chapter 167

“Why do you think that’s interesting?” I raised one eyebrow

She smirked, grabbed her coffee cup, and walked by me. “No reason.”

Then, she left the break room, leaving me with unanswered questions and the faint whiff of her strawberry scented perfume.

At the end of the day, Alexander called Gai and me into his office. My feet dragged as I walked toward his corner office. I already knew what this meeting was going to be about.

Gai and I sat down, and Alexander stood, leaning against the back of his desk, and crossed his arms. My throat dried when I noticed the fabric of his shirt straining against his large muscles.

I shifted in my seat and scolded myself. I needed to get a grip.

“As I’m sure you both have seen in my schedule, I will be traveling to Luceland on Saturday,” Alexander said briskly. “Gai, you will accompany me to Luceland and Olivia, you will handle any work emails that come through. Understood?”

“Are you alright, Olivia?” Alexander asked as he twirled noodles around his chopsticks. “You’ve barely eaten anything.”
