Watch Me Win Alpha (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 300

Chapter 300

He ran into Gai when the elevator opened on their floor.

“Ive been looking for you,” Gai said, a little out of breath.

Alexander immediately tensed when he noticed the worried look in her eyes. His pulse quickened at the fact that he couldn’t find Olivia. Did Gai’s news have something to do with her?

“Olivia had to leave early,” Gai said. “She’s…”

Gai was about to say that Olivia had sprained her foot, but then she remembered the flare of panic on her face when she had mentioned going on a business trip with Alexander. She quickly thought up a lie, not wanting to reveal Olivia’s medical history to Alexander if her friend didn’t want him to know.

“Why?” Alexander asked. “Is she alright?”

“She’s fine,” Gai assured him, making sure that her voice was calm and steady. “She is having really bad cramps. She needed to go home and lie down.‘

“I

Alexander narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms. He began to pace the waiting room.

Gai’s legs began to tremble, scared that Alexander would see through her lie.

After a few moments, Alexander turned to Gai with an unreadable expression. “I don’t believe you,” he said simply, then walked back to his office, shutting the door behind him.

Alexander knew that Olivia wouldn’t have gone home unless it was something really serious. She had too much work ethic for that. His mind raced with the possibilities. What if she was in the hospital seriously injured?

Unable to be cooped up in the office another second, Alexander rushed out, intending to find Gai and demand to know if Olivia was alright.

He stopped short when he saw that Gai was staring out the window. Alexander followed her gaze, and his stomach lurched when he saw that Gai was staring at a physical therapist office.

“Is that where Olivia is?” he asked.

Gai jumped and looked back at him with wide eyes.

When Olivia saw that the man sitting beside her in the waiting room was Ethan, she wasn’t even surprised. Of course, he would track her down here.

He was insane enough to track her down in two locations all in one day. She shook her head at how truly crazy her ex–husband had proven himself to be time and time again.

The only thing that Olivia could think to do was ignore Ethan. Maybe if she didn’t give him what he was looking for, then he would stop harassing her. Olivia took out her phone, pulled up a game, and pretended to concentrate on it. She acted like she didn’t even notice Ethan sitting right beside her.

But as she swiped her screen, pretending to play the colorful game, her mind raced. How had Ethan been able to find her twice in one day? Had he installed a tracker on her phone? How else could he have found her so easily?

Annoyance surged through her. Ethan was like a pesky fly that kept buzzing around her. She imagined swatting him with a big fly swatter to amuse herself from her rising panic brought on by being followed by her ex–husband.

Then, Jacob came out of the backroom with paperwork for Olivia to fill out. He spotted Ethan and thought that he was just another potential customer.

“Hello, there,” Jacob said. “How can I help you today?”

Ethan glared at Olivia, who was still giving him the cold shoulder, and he crossed his arms, sulking like a little kid. “My problem isn’t on the outside. Someone is making me feel bad on the inside.” He shot another look at Olivia, hoping this got her attention.

Jacob’s eyebrows raised. “Um…” All throughout his long career, he had never heard anything like that before.

“I’m in no hurry to get my ankle wrapped,” Olivia said, wanting any excuse to get Ethan away from her. “You can treat this gentleman first. He looks sick to me.

Jacob looked between his two customers as his confusion grew. He had no idea the history between them. The man did look familiar, but he couldn’t place him. A surge of protectiveness over Olivia flowed through him since he knew her when she was young. He didn’t want to get involved with whatever was going on between them, not because he was scared of the man, but he didn’t want to cause a scene. That would just make it worse for

Olivia when she left here.

“Come on, Olivia. You were here first. I have to massage your ankle before I wrap it to get the swelling down,” Jacob said and helped her up.

“Wait, Olivia, I-” Ethan began to say, but Jacob interrupted him in his friendly customer service voice.

“I’ll be with you when I’m finished with her, Sir. Just sit right.”

Olivia gratefully put most of her weight on Jacob as he helped her to the back room she had originally been in.

“Are you alright?” Jacob asked as soon as the door was shut. “Do you want me to kick that guy out?”

Despite herself, a smile spread across Olivia’s face. That was the second time today that a kind soul was protecting her from her ex–husband. Maybe there were still good people left in the world.

“I’m alright,” she assured him. “Just a misunderstanding.”

Jacob squinted his eyes. He didn’t believe her, but he let the subject drop, not wanting to upset her.

“Alright, let’s massage that ankle,” he said and sat in a small black swivel chair. “I have to warn you, this is going to hurt. A lot.”

Olivia tried to prepare herself by taking a deep breath. “I can take it.”

“Okay, get ready,” Jacob said.

But as soon as his warm hands were around her ankle, Olivia wanted to scream bloody murder.

Hot pain was radiating up her leg. That hurt way more than she expected. An irrational urge to kick Jacob in the face flooded through just to get him to stop.
