NovelEnglishDamian's POV
| frown at the sight, confused, too.
I got her 10,000% in that fight last time. | didn't dare give her more because she might get suspicious. So when
she didn't return to the black fight club, I took that as the money being enough to cover whatever problem she
was having. So why is she doing another part- time? At such a place no less?!
"You don't work your people too hard, do you?" Oliver says with a sarcastic tone, "I knew there was a dark side in
that girl! Not to brag but... | told you soooo."
I click my tongue at him, and he raises both his hands but rolls his eyes at the stime.
Oliver doesn't like Lilith for sreason. He keeps calling her my pet because he sees her as a gold digger. Well,
he sees all women aroundas gold diggers, and most of the time, | agree with him. But he is wrong about
Lilith. She has something special in her. | don't know why he can't see that.
"Since your surprises are not coming anyway--" | stand up, sorting my suit. Maybe | should just ask her if | could
help in any way. Oliver was joking, but her job is actually not that light.

"Where are you going?!" Oliver pullsinto the sofa, hiding from Lilith, "You need to see her true color, once
and for all! I'm telling you! She is not all that innocent and kind. No one is!"

"Shushhhhhhhh!" Oliver covers my mouth, hissing, "She's coming!"
With the both of us tangling together on the sofa and his hands around my face, now | don't want Lilith to see
with the DJ loud and lively, pumping our hearts with the thunder like drum. Sgirl talks to Lilith on her way
and they laugh together, looking like they know each other pretty well.
So today is not Lilith's first day, to say the least.
"She's not like that!" | push Oliver off me, getting annoyed with a shred of guilt -- I don't take Lilith as the gold
digger type, but he just madedo the opposite.

"Then why are you not making it official with her yet?" Oliver grunts back carelessly, "I have seen my share of
women -- hell, YOU have seen your share of women who go after you for the wrong reason. The only reason that
she said she is not interested in your money is because she knows that you have it!"
"You are wrong. She's my business and you need to stay away from this!" | warn, realizing the anger in my voice
but I'm reluctant to apologize.
The real reason why | can't make it official is actually the opposite. Lilith is very sensitive when it comes to
money, and she hasn't even allowedto pay for a meal that we shared. The most | managed is to get her to
accept coffee from me, under the unspoken condition that she buys them forfrom tto time, too. She
does know what my last nmeans, but if anything, it's
preventing us from getting closer,
not the opposite.
"Wait, there she is!"
Oliver jumps up and | follow his sight. Scarlett Fuller with Sebastian Knight. Ava Fuller toldthat they are in
the divorce process, but they don't look like a separated couple, but a sweet pair of love birds having fun when
they just started dating. "Ava Fuller is your friend, right?" | ask Oliver, "She toldthat Scarlett Fuller stole
Knight from her, is that true?"
"I don't know. We are just work acquaintances," The smile on his face faints, "I know you don't like hearing this
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbut, that one is a real gold digger through and through. Good luck, bro."
"Is everyone a gold digger in your eyes now??" | roll my eyes at him, "First Lilith, now Ava Fuller? Would you say
the sthing if Scarlett Knight talked to me, too?"
"Whatever, bro," Oliver humphs
carelessly, "I once worked on a
movie with her, not a huge role. | got
ooo
her a goodbye present for all the members of the team when | left, and she threw it away on the day. Rumors
have it that she's Knight's girl, but she keeps a thing with a lot of guys with a big last name, so."
"I know you like Scarlett Knight, but she's a Knight, you know what | mean?" It's my place to judge but, she is
someone's wife!
"Did you just say that they are getting a divorce?" Oliver grins.
With that annoying grin, Oliver goes to invite the Knights over. | look around but | don't see Lilith anywhere. I'll
find her later. I'm actually a bit curious about Scarlett, too. Could this fierce, independent, a little bullying woman «
be my cute little Alice?
