Chapter 15_ I’m sorry
Olivia shut her eyes tightly as she slowly turned to see the mischievous smirk on his lips..
She knew she was done for, her sharp eyes darted around looking for a possible way of escape from his clutches..
“Cat got your tongue now?”
Olivia shook her head “How can I talk when my boss hasn’t given me the permission to..”
Damien’s smirk turned into a frown when he perceived a soothing fragrance coming from her, he slowly leaned forward to her neck and raised his head back to her in surprise..
Olivia’s eyes rounded, what was her shameless boss trying to do?
“I know you’re mad at me.. but can you stop trying to get close to me?!” She lashed out but surprisingly it didn’t seem to have any effect on him as he was frozen on his spot..
She slowly trailed his line of sight and almost immediately she crossed her two hands over her chest..
“Pervert!”
Damien suddenly pulled her closer to himself and leaned in to her taking a sniff off her once more which left Olivia feeling confused..
“What are you trying to do?!”
Damien snapped out of his daze and placed a palm over her mouth to shut her up..
“I have a girlfriend.. no to be precise, a fiancee so don’t think so highly of yourself.. and by the way have you always worn this perfume?”
Olivia bit his palm which he retracted quickly, he stared at the lady in front of him in shock wondering what sought of a person she was..
This was the first time in his life that a woman dared him in such a way, for some reasons he felt powerless to punish her not just because of his mum..
“Why are you interested in it? do you want to get it for her? if yes, hell no! I don’t want her having my scent!”
She clicked her tongue and swiped her blonde hair over his face before leaving for her office..
However, Damien’s suspicion was aroused at that moment..
He walked back calmly to his seat and picked up his phone..
“I need you to do a background check on a lady.. Olivia Parker”
He glanced towards the transparent compartment separating them..

Meanwhile…
“What?!”
Olivia stood up to her seat after the outburst, her brows creased in worry, she turned around to find her boss staring at her..
She managed to force an apologetic smile at him before taking her seat back..
“Seriously Bianca? how can a six year old outsmart you this way? and wait! isn’t he supposed to be in school?”
Bianca cleared her throat from the other end, she rested her gaze at the unconscious man lying on the sofa..
If only Olivia knew about him, she’ll drop everything she was doing and rush back home..
“Well.. how was I supposed to know that he drugged my juice? your little boy is really something else..”
Olivia pinched the space between her brows with a small sigh..
“Please pass him the phone..”
A few seconds later his voice came through before she even spoke..
“I’m sorry mummy.. I promise I won’t do it anymore.. if you scold me, I’ll be very sad and unhappy”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Olivia’s heart warmed up, how could she ever be upset with him?
“Come on Kelvin! do you have to blackmail me this way?”
“I love you mummy”
Unbeknownst to her about another presence just right in front of her corridor, his brows drew together, was she pretending not to notice him? or was he too small now?
“awwnn I love you too baby…
Damien suddenly cleared his throat which startled her a bit, she disconnected the call and placed her phone on her table..
“How long have you been standing there? boss you know how wrong it is to eavesdrop on people’s conversation”
“I called you several times but you didn’t answer because you were busy on the phone talking to your boyfriend!”
Olivia was left speechless “That wasn’t my boyfriend but my son… sunny…. sky…. day”
Damien raised a brow, does that word even exist? however, he didn’t care less since the lady was a little bit loosed in the head..
“Get yourself ready we are going out for lunch and before you say no… we are meeting a client there”
“Isn’t that the role of a personal assistant? I mean I’m just the secretary..
“Do I look like a fool to you? or did I stutter? just do as I say!”

Bianca closed the magazine she was reading when the man lying on the sofa next to her moved slightly..
It’s been two hours already but the fool wasn’t awake yet, she honestly didn’t know what came over her that she had to punch him in the face that hard..
She noticed his nose was red, and yes! it was from the punch she sent to his face two hours ago..
Xander snapped his bright blue eyes opened, he stared at his unfamiliar surroundings before sitting up..
His gaze rested on the lady who had a leg over the other reading a magazine..
“Guess who decided to wake up from his little nap”
Xander touched his nose and gasped softly, did she use something else other than her fist on him?
“You!…
Bianca stared boredly at his face “You’re awake right? now get your lazy sorry a*s off my sofa before I come after your b*tt next!”
Xander jerked up from the sofa and came to stand in front of her, he lowered his upper half to her with a little smile dainted on his lips…
“If you’re this interested in me.. you could have just dropped your contact info last night, you know?”
Bianca grabbed his shirt with her two hands, she heard a chuckle coming from Ray at the dinning table, the kid found this funny when this was literally all his fault..
“I’ll slit your throat if you dare try to flirt with me..” She warned sternly which Xander took as a harmless joke..
“Bianca!”
Bianca and Xander turned to the woman who just walked in with four bags filled with groceries..
“What are you doing? and that too in front Kelvin?
The moment her eyes fell on the charming young man, her smile appeared once more..
Bianca released Xander’s collar and stood up pushing him aside, her mum was here, it was so typical of her mum and Olivia’s mum to drop by anytime without a prior notice..
Kelvin who noticed her presence hopped down from the chair and ran into her embrace..
“You’re here big aunt..”
Cassie ruffled his hair and planted a kiss on his head, she opened her purse and brought out a red action figure and handed it over to him..
“I got this for you”
“Wow!! Iron man! I love you so much!” he exclaimed and ran off to play with his new toy..
Cassie directed her gaze back to the two, she wriggled her brows teasingly at her daughter..
“So you decided to bring your little boyfriend home.. without informing me?”
Bianca’s jaw dropped and she was just about to correct her mum’s intuition but Xander beat her to it..
He extended his hand forward which Cassie accepted immediately as if she was expecting his gesture..
“I’m Xander Gray”
Both mother and daughter’s brows creased, he couldn’t be from the well known Gray family right?
Cassie smiled and pulled her hand away from his slowly..
“As in from the Gray’s?”
Xander gave a firm nod, he was a bit confused by the look of surprise that crossed by their face the moment he gave a nod..
“Well?…
Cassie cleared her throat and smiled once more, she couldn’t describe how joyous and excited she was feeling at the moment..
“Oh! make yourself at home.. you know Bianca never brought a man home..
Bianca’s ears reddened as her mum shamelessly ratted her out..
Xander turned to her with a teasing grin, for some reasons he wasn’t ready to clear up this misunderstanding..
“Mum! he isn’t my…
“I’ll go make lunch.. don’t leave okay?”
Xander gave a firm nod and took a seat back on the sofa as soon as Cassie left with the groceries she dropped earlier..
Bianca turned to the fool who was sitting proudly in front of her..
“You have to leave!… like right now!”
“Your mum just said that you’ve never brought a man home, so whose child is that?”
Xander peered at her with his sharp blue orbs, he couldn’t shake off the feeling he felt staring at that boy earlier..
He was the exact carbon copy of his friend..
Bianca shot him a mean glance “He’s mine! do you have any problem with that?” She questioned back..

Olivia gasped when she saw the car they were going out with, Rolls Royce! and without hesitating or waiting for her boss she jumped in and relaxed on the plush seat at the back..
She was so lost in enjoying the comfort of the seat that she failed to see the frown that settled upon the face of the man outside..
The door suddenly opened jerking her off her daydream..
“Little fool!” He snorted and closed the door with a little bang..
Olivia was startled, she looked out of the glass to see him getting into another car a few metres away from the car she was seated in..
Her phone rang out, on seeing the caller id she raised it up to her ear in confusion..
“When you’re done fooling around.. meet me at Caper’s relish in the next twenty minutes!” He ordered and soon after his car sped past her..
Olivia’s jaw dropped unable to decipher what just happened..
“Urgghhh!!!” She groaned out in anger
