Olivia kept a straight face and didn't respond to Wayne's probing. Instead, she reminded him, "Mr.
Maxwell, this is Aldenvine."
Her expression was calm. She had cried a little when she was
visiting Jeff's grave. Her eyes and nose were slightly reddened. Her eyes were
also moist from the crying.
She was like a cute little bunny.
But Wayne knew full well that the
woman standing before him wasn't a harmless little bunny.
She was the S-ranked assassin,
Septem.
Before he arrived in Arlandia, he
had already looked through all the intel regarding Olivia.
Although she was an assassin, she
never killed innocent people.
All the missions she took were of
targets who were completely evil—bullies that preyed on the weak.
Olivia still had kindness in her
heart. Or else, she could've killed him at any time while she was with him.
Wayne smelled Olivia's scent.
"Why are you afraid, Ms. Fordham? I was just saying hello."
Then, he took a couple of steps
back.
"Let's go. I'll escort Ms.
Fordham."
Olivia felt like she was a prisoner that was being moved. She

It was obvious that Ike was the
one who was staring daggers at her.
He regretted not killing her back
then. He allowed a threat like her to continue to disrupt Wayne's life.
They soon arrived at the bottom
of the hill. Olivia took out her car keys.
"Mr. Maxwell, let's part
ways here."
Wayne pointed at his fleet of
cars.
"I need to talk to you, Ms.
Fordham. If you please."
"Sorry, we're not that
close."
Olivia was about to get in her
car.
Both of them were probing the other. Wayne wouldn't do anything
rash so blatantly because they were in Aldenvine, especially when he knew of
her identity.
She was still worried because
Wayne was an unhinged man. He can't be bound by mere common sense.
That was
why she remained cautious.
"We've
slept in the same bed. How can you say that?"
Olivia's gaze intensified. That was true. There was one night
when he said he had a headache and got into her bed.
She
didn't dare to expose herself back then, so she could only endure his presence.
There
wasn't any intimacy, but would anyone believe that?
"I can tell that you are close with your ex-husband. What
do you think would happen if I told him about that?"
"You're despicable!"
Olivia raised her hand to slap him, but Wayne didn't let her
this time. He grabbed her wrist and pushed her against the car door.
Her black
coat formed a sharp contrast with the white car.
"What?
Are you dropping the act, Dr. Ophelia?" Wayne looked at her mockingly.
"Your
current face is much better. You look pretty even when you're angry.
"If
you had approached me with this face, I would've given you anything you wanted,
even that ring."
Olivia didn't want to talk to him anymore. She aimed a kick at
his abdomen, but he was already on guard against her.
After a
short bout, Olivia was firmly pressed against the car.
"Nice
moves, Dr. Ophelia."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Stop
this insolence!"
The
bodyguards turned around in unison. They didn't dare to look at what was
happening.
"As expected, I prefer the
quick-witted Dr. Ophelia with a sharp tongue. Will you be getting into the car
by yourself, or do I have to carry you inside?" Wayne said threateningly.
Olivia was stuck between a rock
and a hard place. She couldn't get in the car because things would definitely
spiral out of control if she did so.
But Wayne was a better fighter
than her. She would need the help of some drugs or tricks to gain an upper hand.
When he
was completely on guard, she was not his match.
After all, she had only trained
for a few years, while he had been put through tough situations since he was
young.
Other than that, the difference
in strength between a man and a woman was too great. She could never win.
"Are
you plotting something, Dr. Ophelia? Why don't I make the call for you?"
Wayne
took the keys in her hand and threw it to Ike. "Drive this back for her."
