Alexander studied me, and the look in his eyes made me shift my feet uncomfortably. I crossed my arms over my white shirt, wishing that I had put on a bra before I had come here.
“Good evening, Mr. President,” I said, using his official title just to mess with him a little bit.
Alexander’s eyebrows rose, but he simply nodded at me in greeting.
Annoyance coursed through me, and my hands tightened into fists at my sides. Even though I had liked being left alone at work, I didn’t appreciate his silent treatment outside the office. Our conversation from late last night flashed through my mind. When he had talked about boundaries, did that mean that he didn’t even want to speak to me about anything outside of work? Was that how things were going to be from now on?
Alexander walked over to Mike, who was by his kitchen counter, pulling out the medicine that I had brought him.
I thought he would comment on my purchases, but he didn’t. Alexander sat down on Mike’s couch and began to read his book.
I didn’t know why his indifference toward me was grating on my nerves, but my jaw clenched. Suddenly, I just wanted to leave and go back to my quiet apartment. I haven’t had a lot of alone time recently, and I craved solitude away from Alexander and his too–quiet company.
“Thanks again, Mike,” I said and turned around, heading for the door, purposely not saying goodbye to Alexander because I was feeling petty.
“Oh, Olivia…”

Alexander’s deep voice made me stop in my tracks, and I turned around to face him. Our eyes locked together, and my legs trembled. His expression was unreadable.
“How’s your stomach feeling? he asked.
How did he…? Wait. Richard must have told him after last night. Damn it. Was there anyone in this city who wasn’t employed by Alexander Green?
“I’m feeling much better,” I replied stiffly. “Thank you.”
“Good,” Alexander paused and gave me a searching look. “Make sure to stay home this weekend and have access to a computer at all times in case I need you for work.”
I made sure that my smile didn’t falter. “Sure thing,” I replied brightly. “Have a good weekend, Mr. President.”
As I walked out of Mike’s apartment, I grinned.
There was no way I was staying home this weekend.
*Olivia*
The next morning at seven sharp, Ava showed up at my door with a duffel bag and three takeout coffee cups. Thankfully, my stomach was completely fine now, and I took the cup full of caffeine gratefully.
“Isn’t your brother only nineteen?” I grumbled and picked up my bag to
exit the elevator.
“Yeah, but he’s a body builder. He spends like eight days a week at the gym.”
We rushed across the busy crosswalk. “There’s only seven days in a week,” I reminded her and laughed.
“Details.” She waved her hand and chuckled.

In the dark parking garage, Aiden was leaning against Ava’s car. He was tall and blonde, exactly like his sister. But that was where the similarities stopped. Ava was petite, but Aiden had bulging muscles that were straining against his tight black shirt. Even though his face seemed young–woth his rosy red cheeks and one dimple–his strong frame lessened my worries of the potential danger of this weekend.
