Watch Me Win, Alpha

Chapter 13

Olivia's POV

Rose was already at the driving range when | arrived. She looked like she always did: energetic and glowing in

her pale yellow golf dress. Her long, curly hair fell around her shoulders.

She eyedfrom head to toe and let out a sigh. “Liv, you're not dressed sexy enough,” she said, frowning a bit.

I let out a small laugh. “Rose, I'm here to find a job.”

| didn’t think there was anything wrong with what | was wearing. Just plain sportswear, light makeup, and my

hair tied up in a ponytail. Nothing fancy. Nothing too eye-catching.

Rose crossed her arms. “Honey, men are visual creatures,” she said with a knowing look.

| shook my head. “If Alexander just wanted a pretty face for a secretary, that job wouldn't still be vacant.”

She made a face at me. “You're missing the point,” she teased. She reached out and poked my arm lightly.

“Pretty and capable- you can be both.”

| smiled at her. “Fine, fine. | get it.”

Rose grinned, clearly satisfied. “Good,” she said. “Lucky for you, | brought an extra set of clothes. We're about

the ssize. You're going to wear it.”

Before | could argue, she grabbed my arm and tuggedtoward the locker room.

| followed her without fuss. After all, | was relying on Rose to introduceto Alexander. | couldn't start off by ig-

noring her advice.

| changed into the clothes Rose gave me. The white sleeveless top hugged my chest, showing off more than I'd

usual- ly want. The short black pleated skirt was snug on my hips, leaving my legs almost completely bare. |

looked in the mirror and hardly recognized myself.

Rose let out a low whistle. “Liv,” she said, “I didn’t know you had such a curvy body. It's a cryou keep it

hidden under those office clothes. It's Ethan's loss, you know. | can’t believe he’s wasting his ton Chole.”

| didn’t answer. | didn’t want to talk about Ethan or Chole right now.

Instead, | focused on something else that was bothering me. | was afraid Alexander would think | was trying to

hit on

him.

Before | wanted to ask, she just raised a finger to her lips and gavea look. “Shh,” she whispered. Her phone

rang. at that moment and she quickly answered it. “Mr. Thomas,” she said, her voice bright. “Have you and Mr.

Green ar- rived already? Okay, we'll be there soon.”

She hung up and turned towith a big smile. “Let’s go,” she said, looping her arm through mine.

As we walked toward the golf carts, | hesitated again. “Rose... have you actually met Alexander before?” | asked

her.

Rose thought for a moment. “Only once,” she said. “When | was six, my parents and | went to the Green family’s

Christmas party. Alexander was there, but he was just a kid. Then he left the country when he was ten. | never

saw him again.”

| nodded slowly.

The golf cart turned a corner and a wide green lawn cinto view. Two men in tracksuits were talking near the

edge of the course.

My eyes immediately went to them. One of them was Paul. He was wearing a dark blue top and light brown

pants. Next to him stood a taller man, dressed in all white. His build was athletic, broad shoulders filling out the

simple. shirt. When he turned slightly, the sun hit his face, catching the sharp edge of his chin.

| felt my breath catch in my throat. It was him. Alexander. The one who gavehis suit, the one who

embarrassedin the elevator.

Rose followed my gaze and let out a sigh. “Wow,” she said. “Alexander's completely different now. Tall,

handsome... he’s basically perfect.”

| forced a small smile. My heart was beating a little too fast.

Rose nudgedin the side. “You're staring,” she teased. “Did you fall in love with him at first sight?”

| looked away quickly. I didn’t know what to reply. But it was definitely not what Rose was thinking.

The golf cart slowed to a stop and | felt my stomach twist. Paul smiled and waved at us. Alexander looked at me

with a flicker of surprise, but his face quickly went back to neutral.

Rose didn’t waste a second. She looped her arm around mine and ledstraight over. “Paul!” she called out,

beam- ing. “And Alexander, good to see you both.”

Paul grinned. “Rose, you're as radiant as ever,” he said, then looked atcuriously.

Rose nudgedforward. “This is my good friend, Olivia Whitmore,” she said brightly. “She chere to watch

you play, Alexander.”

I swallowed hard and forced a polite smile. “Pleased to meet you, Mr. Green,” | said, my voice steady even

though my hands were a little sweaty.

Alexander's expression didn’t change much. But he looked atwith a strange glint in his eyes and repeated,

almost in a question, “Pleased to meet me?”

| tried to play it off, my smile stretching wider. “Yes, I'm really glad to see you,” | said quickly, hoping he wouldn't

say anything to embarrass me.

His lips twitched slightly like he was about to laugh. “You do look happy,” he said, his tone even.

Rose shota quick glance and her eyes sparkled with amusement. She was clearly proud of dressingup in

that tight little outfit. | wanted to elbow her, but | kept my face calm.

Alexander and Paul started the game. Alexander was good. He moved with such easy precision, every swing

clean and strong. Paul wasn’t bad either, but it was obvious Alexander had more skill.

Rose and | played too, but mostly we just watched. | clapped when Alexander hit a perfect shot and he turned his

head slightly, though he didn’t smile.

After the round, we moved to a shady

area with benches and cool drinks;

Alexander dropped the wipe in the bin and looked atsteadily. “You're not suitable,” he said flatly, then turned

and started walking away, heading toward the trees lining the course.

| stared at his back, stunned by how blunt he was. My heart thumped in my chest. No, | couldn't let it end like

that. | jumped to my feet and hurried after him.
