Watch Me Win Alpha (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 92

Chapter 92

I eyed the contents of the refrigerator. I wasn’t in the mood to

prepare anything extravagant. My eyes landed on a can of

tomato soup. That would have to do.

I grabbed it, ripped it open and dumped it into a pot. Steam rose

in an instant, and I stirred as the smell of tomatoes and herbs

filled the air. The scent was so overwhelming, that I had to step

out of the kitchen for a bit to get some fresh air.

When I rounded the corner, I saw Alexander coming through

the living room, bringing the scent of the ointment with him.

“Oh… you want to eat in here?”

He didn’t even look at me. We walked casually and settled into

one of the chairs at the dining table. “Kitchen, Olivia.”

I turned on my heel and stomped back to the kitchen.

Alexander just proved everything I’d been thinking about

earlier. Why did he always have to talk to me like that? I turned

off the stove, ladled the soup into a bowl and grabbed a spoon.

I stomped back into the dining room and dumped the plate right

in front of him.

He stared down at it for a long moment in complete silence. I‘

could hear the antique clock ticking as he studied the soup.

I started bracing myself for another negative response from

him, but then he said, “Well done. It smells really good.”

Yve wasn’t buying it though. “Thank you,” I replied, forcing a

fake smile on my lips.

“You want some?”

No way. “I’m not hungry.” I still wasn’t over how he’d spoken to me earlier. I watched as he brought the spoon to his lips.

Everything about Alexander’s behavior tonight had gotten on my nerves intensely. My jaw clenched involuntarily as I replayed how he’d been so sarcastic while I changed his dressing. Or how he just mocked the soup I made for him.

Yes, it wasn’t anything grand, but I made it. That’s what

mattered.

He swallowed the soup and looked up at me instantly. His eyes

widened. “I’m sorry, Olivia.”

My frown deepened. “You don’t have to eat it if you can’t stand

His earlier anger now seemed somewhat justified to me. He’d thought I was backing down from my duties as a secretary. In

his mind, I’d allowed personal discomfort to get the best of me and didn’t come in in time. And now he was making it clear to me that it was going to be okay.

I wouldn’t have to be subjected to any form of rumors. And as the anger finally slipped away, guilt quickly took its place. “I understand. Goodnight, boss.”

“Goodnight, Olivia.”

We exchanged a look, and then I made my way downstairs.

Alexander wasn’t exactly easy to be around, but at least he was

willing to communicate and address misunderstandings. It was

more than many Alpha’s would do, and that put me in a much

better mood.

I was back in my apartment, cuddled between my sheets, in and

out of sleep. But sometime in the hours before dawn, my phone

buzzed. My eyes snapped open immediately.

*Olivia*

I was half asleep when I reached for my phone. It took a long moment for my eyes to focus enough so I could recognize the jumbled up letters displayed on my screen.

Alexander: Need you to come in for tomorrow’s shift. Can you

make it?
