Watch Me Win, Alpha

Olivia's cheeks heated as she spun around to see Alexander and Duke in the doorway of the private room.

Alexander's hands were clenched into tight fists at his side, and jealousy was flowing through him because

Stanley had asked Olivia if she was single. Why did that old man want to know? He was married to Hana.

“Trying to setup again, Uncle Stanley?” Duke said, sensing the tension in the room and trying to smooth it

over. But this just made Alexander even more mad. Over his dead body, would Duke and Olivia ever be

romantically together.

Duke noticed that his friend had gone still and silent. He jokingly put his arm around Alexander. “Sorry,

Alexander just askedto marry him over a plate of pad thai noodles. How could | refuse? We're flying to Vegas

tonight, and you're all invited.”

Everyone in the room laughed except for Neil. He was frowning at the place where Duke had his arm wrapped

around his son’s shoulders. Neil Green did not approve of Duke. Even though he knew that Duke was just making

a joke, he didn’t appreciate it. His jaw clenched as he stared at the two men that he thought were acting

inappropriate, especially because they were both respected businessmen.

“Hey, as long as my favorite nephew is happy, I'm happy,” Stanley said and grinned at Duke.

Anger shot through Neil at these words, and he frowned at his associate. Olivia noticed this, but she quickly

looked away, not

wanting any more attention than she had already received from these

two men.

“My son is not gay,” Neil said in a hard voice, making the room go

silent.

A few tense moments passed, and it was like all the air had been sucked out of the room.

Alexander shot his father a warning look and took Duke's arm off his shoulders. “Dad, we were all just joking

around. Lighten up.”

“Don’t tellwhat to do. The Green family has certain... traditions to uphold. I will not allow you to embarrass

the Green family legacy. I'd rather die.”

This seemed like a conversation that the father and son have had many

times.

Olivia and Duke shared a wide-eyed look. They had no idea that Alexander's father was homophobic.

Neil ignored Alexander. “In fact, everyone thinks that you are dating your assistant, Son.” He gestured to the

woman sitting beside him. “The lovely, Olivia. Everyone at your company is sure that this is the case. They say

that you are both in his office at all hours of the night.”

Olivia turned more red than her Red Curry that was growing cold back at their table. She sank in her seat,

wishing that she could just disappear. “We are not dating,” Olivia hurriedly explained. “It’s just a rumor that

gossip magazines like to put on their headlines so that they can sell more copies and that bored secretaries in

our office like to gossip about to make the day go by faster. I'm just Alexander's assistant. That's it.”

Alexander was glaring at his dad. Then, he turned to Olivia, sensing

how uncomfortable she was. “I have to go to the restroom. Since you've been to this restaurant before, | need

your help finding it. Con.”

He held out his hand to her, and she gratefully took it.

Their hasty departure made Neil smile. He hoped that there was something going on between them. Duke took

Olivia's empty seat and began to chat with his great uncle.

Alexander put his warm hand on the small of Olivia's back and led her out of the room. Right before they turned

the corner, Olivia could feel someone's eyes on her. When she turned back to look, her stomach flipped. Even

though Stanley was in the middle of a conversation with his nephew, he was watching Olivia walk out of the

room with an intense expression.

This made her shiver. When they were out of hearing range of the three men, Olivia turned to him. “Do you

actually needto show you where the bathrooms are?” she asked.

Alexander tightened his arm around her waist, grabbing on to her hip. “Humor me,” he replied, looking straight

ahead.

Olivia wanted to argue further, but Alexander's body heat against her side calmed her down after that strange

interaction with Stanley and his dad. Despite herself, she was surprised to find that she had no trouble relaxing

into his side.

In the empty hallway next to the bathrooms, there was a plush red bench that was low to the ground.

“When | was over here just a second ago, | heard something scurrying under there,” Alexander whispered to her,

his mouth right next to her ear. “I was wondering if you could check it out for me.”

Olivia blinked up at him in confusion. “You want my help catching a

mouse?” she asked incredulously.

“Yes,” he answered like it was the most normal thing in the world. “Or it could be a rat. I'm not sure.”

She stepped away from him. “Why can’t you do it?” she demanded, her legs trembling. Mice and rats were one

of her worst fears. But she didn’t want to admit that to Alexander.

“Because you're my assistant,” he answered, a smile playing on the corners of his lips.

“Why don’t | just ask an employee to do it?” she suggested and put her hands on her hips. “It’s their job, not

mine.”

“Oh, con,” he said and grabbed her hand, tugging her to the bench. “Why don’t we look under it together.

I'll be right by your side the whole time.”

Olivia wanted to say no and then go back to the table. But she didn’t want to argue and cause a scene at this

fancy restaurant.

“Fine,” she answered and sighed.

The two crouched and looked underneath the bench together. Olivia took off one of her red heels in case she

needed a weapon. She took a deep breath, preparing herself for the worst. This day just kept getting weirder.

Alexander looked over at her and tried to hold his laughter in. But a small chuckle escaped his lips, and Olivia

glared at him.

Alexander moved his flashlight, and when Olivia saw the creature that was under there, her mouth dropped open
