Watch Me Win Alpha (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 176

Chapter 176

*Olivia*

I sat in the backseat of my car as Aiden drove, and Ava chatted happily to her brother. Crossing my arms, I stared nervously out the window. Guilt ate away at me for accidentally hanging up on Alexander and for not telling him that I was headed to Luceland this weekend, too. My stomach stiffened with fear as I thought about how he would react if he knew I had copied his travel plans.

Ava straightened in her seat, startling me out of my thoughts. “Hey…is that Alexander’s car?” she asked.

My heart raced as I looked behind us, and sure enough, I spotted Alexander’s, although Richard was the one driving. They were only a few cars behind us.

This wasn’t good.

Ava turned around and looked at me with confusion. “Why is Alexander following us?”

I sighed and decided to come clean. “He isn’t. Alexander planned a trip to Luceland for a different reason before we planned ours.” I couldn’t help the bitterness in my voice wheι. pictured Naomi’s perfect face.

But I had bigger problems right now. I’d managed to get a quick peak at Alexander’s face, and he had been frowning, his dark eyes in angry slits. Quickly, I took my phone out to message Gai

and asked why Alexander looked so mad.

I waited for a full five minutes, but she didn’t reply.

Pretty soon, Alexander’s car was right behind us, and my stomach rolled with anxiety.

I didn’t want to find out what would happen if he caught up to

1. us.

Alexander and I locked eyes. My stomach knotted with worry when I saw his jaw clench. His gaze shot to Aiden in the driver’s seat, and his eyes sparked with rage.

Why was he so angry that there was a guy with us? He was the one who was going to Luceland to meet a woman. And it wasn’t even like I was romantically interested in Aiden. He was Ava’s brother and not even old enough to legally drink. Did he really think I’d be interested in a college student?”

“Olivia, why is Alexander going to Luceland, too?” Ava asked. “Didn’t we decide not to tell him about our plan for now?”

“What plan?” Aiden questioned.

“Mind your business and focus on the road,” Ava snapped.

Which made the two siblings quip back and forth for a few minutes.

I turned away from the window so I wouldn’t have to look at Alexander anymore.

Because of their sibling banter, I thought I had gotten out of answering Ava’s question, but when she had finished bickering with Aiden, she turned and raised her eyebrows at me.

“Why is he going to the same place as us?”

“He’s here to meet….a woman. The same one he went on a blind date with that he made me join. Her name’s Naomi Wright.”

I had to force myself to say the name of the woman Alexander was meeting out loud. It just made it even more real.

My friend spun around, and she lifted her chin. “Are you kidding me?”

“No,” I muttered, wishing it was all a joke.

“What an asshole!” she raged “How dare Alexander play with your feelings. I’ve seen the way he acts around you! No man who has platonic feelings for a woman stares at her the way Alexander looks at you.”

A lump developed in my throat. “He…he looks at me a certain way?”

“Gotta love how broke college kids are,” she joked as we walked into the fancy hotel.

The woman who Alexander had traveled all this way to meet.

Naomi Wright, heiress of the Wright Group.

Aiden

Ava and Aiden were already in the elevator, so I had no choice but to step on. As the doors slid closed, I stood bel and Ava, hoping that I wouldn’t have to talk to her.

Thankfully, Naomi was already engaged in a conversation with her friend.

“You know that your whole thing with Alexander is completely backward, right?” Naomi’s friend said. “Since he’s the oldest of the Green’s sons, he’s supposed to be courting you. Not the other way around.”

Naomi smiled and shrugged. “Honestly, I don’t mind. Alexander is worth chasing after.”

The backs of my eyes pricked with emotion.

Wow.

Naomi actually cared about Alexander. Hot guilt shot through me from the uncharitable things I’ve been thinking about her. Silently, I wished her well, and I hoped she would find happiness. Even if it was with Alexander.
