Watch Me Win Alpha (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 94

Chapter 94

With growing dread, she opened the conversation, and the message jumped out at her in mortifying splendor:

Of course, baby.

Sent at 2:48 AM.

The phone nearly slipped from her fingers. “Oh God.” Olivia could feel the blood draining from her face. “Oh God, oh God, oh God.”

She stared at the screen, willing the message to disappear, but it didn’t. “I must have been drunk. I was drunk and tired and

completely out of my mind.”

Olivia buried her face in her hands. Her stomach churned in

utter panic and mortification.

What a start to her day.

*Olivia*

Heat crept up my cheek. The past few days had been hit after

hit of embarrassing moments. But this definitely took the cake.

What was I going to do?

Maybe we could rush to his apartment and delete the from his phone, Yve offered.

Would that work though? What if he has a password? And what if he catches me?

It’s worth giving it a shot.

I shook my head. That’s too complicated. I don’t want to risk it.

All I could do was delete the message from my end, and pray to the moon goddess that Alexander would be gracious enough to spare me the embarrassment.

After dressing in a black pencil skirt and a cream silk blouse, I found myself in Alexander’s apartment, strawberry short cake in hand. It was a peace offering, and would hopefully serve as a distraction.

I walked with my head held high, spine stiff, and followed the subtle sound of voices to the dining table. Three heads turned to face me as I entered. Alexander in particular fixed me with a meaningful smile.

Oh, God. He knew.

“You look well–rested,” he said, taking a bite of his steak.

Even with the smile on his face, I noticed how tired he looked.

There were obvious dark circles under his eyes. “I brought you a

strawberry shortcake.” I held out the paper bag.

“Hmmm,” he murmured, eyes never leaving mine. “I have to say, Olivia, your message last night was even sweeter”

“Alexander, I…” I rushed out, feeling hot panic flood through me. “I’m so sorry about that message. I had way too much wine last night and my vision was completely blurred. My fingers just went haywire.” I laughed awkwardly. “It was a complete

accident.”

Alexander didn’t miss a beat. “Alcohol is no excuse, Olivia.”

His voice was just as ice–cold as his glare. I was about to get a

mean old lecture from my boss.

“If you’re bold enough to make such a ‘slip of the tongue‘ this

time, then what’s stopping you from talking back next time?

From letting your tongue rún away with you again?”

room.

“Olivia,” Gai spoke first. “I thought you said you’d go to the office

on your own.”

The three of them were staring at me now. I had to think fast. “I

changed my plans. I wanted to personally tell my boss a good

morning.”

Alexander wasn’t buying that either. He wiped the corners of

his mouth slowly, letting me sweat before he calmly said,

“Olivia, what did I just say about words having consequences?

You didn’t just come running here to say good morning to me.

There must have been some kind of accident.”

My heart began to race. He knows, Yve said. Of course he did.

Well, I guess it’s time to make my escape.

I gripped the paper bag tightly and stepped forward. I deposited

the cake on the dining table. “I should go,” I murmured, already

backing away toward the door. “I have things to…”
