“I just wanted you to know that | would never ask you to payback with... your body,” Alexander said,
referring to my confusion last night.

cold cream that my stomach jolted. | couldn’t believe that after the awkwardness during dinner, Alexander was
now feedingfruit. How had things changed between us so quickly? But wasn’t that always the case because
of his mood swings?
“Will you taste test one of the grapes for me?” Alexander said, picking up a green grape and putting it near my
mouth. “I don’t want to eat them if they are too sour.

Chapter 246
Before | could scold him for tricking me, the balcony door swung open again. Mike was carrying a tray with two
bowls full of vanilla ice cream. After he set it down, he brushed off his hands. “Have you tried the grapes. Olivia?
| grew them myself”
Even though | hadn't liked them. I didn’t want to hurt Mike's feelings. but | also didn’t want to lie to him. To avoid
answering, | picked up a bowl of ice cream and quickly put a spoonful in my mouth. “Wow,” | said after |
swallowed my first bite. “This ice cream is delicious.”
“Good, I'm glad,” Mike said. Then, he looked at Alexander. Something passed between the two men. Mike
nodded and then left, making sure to close the door behind him.
| wanted to ask Alexander what that was about, but he picked up his own bowl of ice cream, and a quiet moan
escaped his lips after his first bite, distracting me. As we enjoyed our dessert, a warm feeling spread in my chest,
despite the cold treat. It was nice to enjoy this twith Alexander. With work and the with Chloe, we
hadn’t had much downttogether. When we finished with our ice cream, it felt like the right tto deal with
something else that had been bothering me.
“Listen, for the sake of our work life and working relationship, can we please just put the past behind’us? I'm
sorry for my part in our
misunderstanding, and I'm truly sorry for hurting your feelings last night,” | said.
After | was done, | waited with bated breath for his reaction. The ice cream that | just ate churned uncomfortably
in my stomach.
| froze in shock when a genuine smile bloomed across Alexander's face. “That sounds good to me. Why don’t we
close this
| opened my mouth to agree but closed it when Alexander's eyes glanced down at my lips. Was there a hidden
meaning behind his words? Did he want more than | could offer him?
