NovelEnglishChapter 51
“There's a freaking Bentley behind us, Olivia! A Bentley! And it’s
been trailing us since the hospital. You seriously wantto just
pretend it’s normal?” Ava hissed.
| sighed, resting my elbow against the car door. “It’s normal. It’s
mine.”
Ava almost slammed the brakes. “Excuse me?”
“My new boss,” | said casually, scrolling through my phone. “He
also lives in the sbuilding.”
Ava stared atlike | had sprouted antlers. “That's your boss's
car? The Alpha billionaire? He's literally babysitting you now?”
“He's being polite. Don’t romanticize it.”
“I'm not romanticizing anything,” she muttered. “But if my boss
followedhin a luxury car looking like a magazine
spread, I'd have questions.”
“He’s not following me. He lives at the top story of my building.”
| corrected Ava.
“Whatever. He could have gone earlier than you if did not want
to follow you, you know!”
| wanted to reply to Ava on her remark, but it did seem a little true to argue.
After a while, we pulled into the housing complex, and sure enough, the Bentley parked a short distance away.
Ava got out and helpedinto the wheelchair, still casting suspicious glances over her shoulder.
“Okay, now that-” she nearly choked as Alexander stepped out of the car, suit sharp, eyes sharp, posture
sharper. “Oh my goddess. That's him, isn’t it? The guy who stood up for you at the charity dinner? The one
everyone kept whispering about?”
“Oh gosh! Why are you acting like you don’t know him?”

“Yeah, 1 do,” she muttered under her breath. “But | never knew
you two had a thing. | am really happy for you!”
“Ava. Can you just focus on the wheelchair? Please.”
Gai and the pilot walked up with my bags, and the six of us
crammed into the elevator. The small space was not made for this many people and a wheelchair.
“Sorry!” Ava said, trying to maneuver the chair. She bumped
into Gai, muttering another apology.
“Whoa-watch it-“I leaned forward suddenly as the chair
caught on the elevator groove. In an instinctive move to stop
myself from falling, | threw my hands up-

And smacked right into Alexander's thigh.
| froze. My palm was flat on his leg. His thigh. The firm one.
A full two seconds passed before | yanked my hand back like I'd
been burned. My eyes widened. His jaw twitched..
The air turned painfully awkward.
Alexander didn’t say a word, but | saw the faintest pink dust his
cheekbones. Gai looked away, stifling a grin. Ava bit her lip so
hard | thought she might bleed.
The elevator finally dinged open.
“Push!” | hissed to Ava.
She wheeledout, but | managed a half-smile at Alexander.
“Thanks for the ride, Alpha Alexander. Have a good night.”
His response was a stiff nod, his expression unreadable.
The second the apartment door closed behind us, Ava let out a
strangled sound and burst into a laugh. “You touched his thigh!”
“It was an accident!” | hissed.
“Accident or prophecy, | don’t care-that was the most romance-
moment I’ve seen in real life. You literally grabbed his
leg!”

“Because | was falling!”
“And he blushed!” Ava was now fanning herself tically.
“Olivia, are you sure this is just professional? How did you even
meet him and bechis secretary?”
| rolled my eyes and began undoing the brace on my leg. “Yes. |
met him after he rear-ended my car during a storm, remember?
He gavehis jacket to wear. | returned it. That was it.”
“Mmhm. And then he hired you as his secretary and flew you to
a luxury resort.”
“To get away from Ethan. To rebuild my career. That's all.”
Ava gavea look. “Liv, if | had a dollar for every tyou
said, ‘That's all, I'd be the one driving the Bentley”
| shook my head. “Alexander doesn't

“Yeah, a romantic one,” she smirked.

I winced. “Can we not?”
We settled in after | cleaned my wound and showered with
Ava'’s help. The day had been long, emotionally exhausting, and
awkward as hell.

Just as | pulled on my hoodie and sat down on the couch, my
phone buzzed.
Unknown number.
Ava looked over. “Wantto answer and growl into it?”
“Very funny,” | said, declining the call.
It rang again.
“Persistent, aren't they?” Ava muttered.
“Probably Ethan,” | mumbled.
