NovelEnglishChapter 94
With growing dread, she opened the conversation, and the message jumped out at her in mortifying splendor:
Of course, baby.
Sent at 2:48 AM.
The phone nearly slipped from her fingers. “Oh God.” Olivia could feel the blood draining from her face. “Oh God,
oh God, oh God.”
She stared at the screen, willing the message to disappear, but it didn’t. “I must have been drunk. | was drunk
and tired and
completely out of my mind.”
Olivia buried her face in her hands. Her stomach churned in
utter panic and mortification.
What a start to her day.
*Olivia*
Heat crept up my cheek. The past few days had been hit after
hit of embarrassing moments. But this definitely took the cake.
What was | going to do?
Maybe we could rush to his apartment and delete the from his phone, Yve offered.
Would that work though? What if he has a password? And what if he catches me?
It's worth giving it a shot.
| shook my head. That's too complicated. | don’t want to risk it.
All | could do was delete the message from my end, and pray to the moon goddess that Alexander would be
gracious enough to sparethe embarrassment.
After dressing in a black pencil skirt and a cream silk blouse, | found myself in Alexander's apartment, strawberry
short cake in hand. It was a peace offering, and would hopefully serve as a distraction.

| walked with my head held high, spine stiff, and followed the subtle sound of voices to the dining table. Three
heads turned to faceas | entered. Alexander in particular fixedwith a meaningful smile.
Oh, God. He knew.
“You look well-rested,” he said, taking a bite of his steak.
Even with the smile on his face, I noticed how tired he looked.
There were obvious dark circles under his eyes. “I brought you a

strawberry shortcake.” | held out the paper bag.
“Hmmm,” he murmured, eyes never leaving mine. “I have to say, Olivia, your message last night was even
sweeter”
“Alexander, I...” | rushed out, feeling hot panic flood through me. “I’m so sorry about that message. | had way
too much wine last night and my vision was completely blurred. My fingers just went haywire.” | laughed
awkwardly. “It was a complete
accident.”
Alexander didn’t miss a beat. “Alcohol is no excuse, Olivia.”
His voice was just as ice-cold as his glare. | was about to get a
mean old lecture from my boss.
“If you're bold enough to make such a ‘slip of the tongue’ this
time, then what's stopping you from talking back next time?
From letting your tongue rin away with you again?”
My mouth fell open. He... he thought | sent it on purpose?
“You should be more careful Olivia.” He shota warning gaze.
“Words have consequences. You shouldn’t say things you can’t
back up with actions.”
This was unfair. | didn’t do anything, at least not intentionally.
And my boss wouldn't even givea chance to explain. He was
still looking atlike I'd committed ssort of heinous crime.
The distasteful look on his face made my stomach clench.

He looked atlike | was ssort of manipulative woman
who'd tried to take advantage of him and then played innocent
when caught.
Ugh... How dare he look atlike that? | was being honest. |
didn’t deserve any of this. | couldn’t understand why he
wouldn't believe me. Why he was so convinced that the
message was all part of ssinister plan of mine. It drove me
half mad with anger.
Now that neither of us were speaking, Gai and Mike suddenly
blinked, as if seeingfor the first tsince | entered the
room.
“Olivia,” Gai spoke first. “I telitie

morning.”
Alexander wasn’t buying that either. He wiped the corners of
his mouth slowly, lettingsweat before he calmly said,
“Olivia, what did I just say about words having consequences?
You didn’t just crunning here to say good morning to me.
There must have been skind of accident.”
My heart began to race. He knows, Yve said. Of course he did.
Well, I guess it’s tto make my escape.
