Sadness, fear, and uncertainty filled Olivia's eyes.
Even in this situation, Olivia did not overlook her status.
Olivia's status filled in her veins like blood. She was Dave Black's wife. She was Mrs. Black.
"Are you threatening me?" Olivia increased her voice. Ferocity and prestige replaced the tremble in her tone.
Evelyn admired Olivia's talent in her heart. Olivia can be a talented actress along with a model. Olivia never leaves her character.
"Threatening you?" Evelyn giggled, "You are not that worth of my time."
"Y-You.."
Before Olivia's words hit the ground, the door of their room was opened haphazardly.
Both the ladies looked at the person who entered the room without knocking.
Evelyn was furious. Her bodyguards were well trained and never allowed a random person to enter. They ordered nothing, and Evelyn specifically instructed not to let anyone in.
The uninvited guest made Evelyn's forehead creased. That was until Evelyn's furious eyes were locked with Alexanders.
Today Alexander was wearing a navy blue three-piece suit with a white shirt. His broad shoulders were strong and well powerful. Alexander's hair was combed backward, giving him a clear look. His phoenix shaped eyes were narrowed with his chin pointed at Evelyn in a grace.
Evelyn avoided Alexander's gaze in silence. She felt like a thief being caught red-handed.
Evelyn looks over through the gap of the door. Alexander was standing in front of the door, blocking Evelyn's sight. No matter how focused Evelyn's iris, where she could not see her bodyguards anywhere. Evelyn was sure what would have happened outside.
Alexander stood there with confidence. Evelyn looked at Alexander with indifferent eyes. Evelyn smiled at him, which reached her eyes, but Evelyn did not say a word.
Olivia could not stand the silent eye staring contest between Evelyn and Alexander. She finally asked, "What brings you here, Alexander?"
Alexander listened to the words but did not respond. All of his attention was focused on Evelyn. She was the only one who could anchor his focus.
As Alexander was responding, Evelyn raised her eyebrows. Seeing this small expression on Evelyn's face, Alexander's mind was wandering around.
Did Evelyn think Alexander was acquainted with Olivia? But that was not true. He had only seen her occasionally. According to Alexander, Olivia had no right to call him by his name.
'Am I infected by Evelyn?' Alexander could not help but wonder. Evelyn had a habit of telling people to call her Miss Day. Thinking in this way, a smile formed on Alexander's face.
Evelyn is rubbing off her habits on Alexander, which made his heart fill with warmth.
"I am not familiar with you. Call me Mr. Knight." Alexander smirked as his gaze shifted towards Evelyn.
His eyes were screaming, 'Look, I don't know her.'
"Oh.." Olivia wanted to say a word or two, but she was emotionally drained and physically tired.
Alexander marched towards Evelyn with his long legs. He rubbed Evelyn's hair before taking a seat near her.
Evelyn's hand itched to hit Alexander's unrestrained hands, but she only smoothened her hair while looking at Alexander in accusation.
"If Mrs. Black is done here, she is excused. We don't intend to have people here we are not familiar with." Alexander's voice was soft, but the meaning behind his words was vicious.
It was a way to say 'Get lost.' without spelling it out.
Olivia was about to explode but bit down her anger. The person who said it was someone she could not offend.
If the Black family was dangerous, then Knight's were the definition of evil. You can still be saved from danger, but you cannot escape evil.
Alexander saw the uncertainty in Olivia's eyes. He sighed.
Alexander wanted to give Olivia some face, but if the person in question did not want it, then it was a different matter. Alexander was no saint. He called one of his bodyguards to escort Olivia out.
There were only Evelyn, and Alexander left in the closed room.
"What brings you here?" Evelyn smiled as she crossed her legs.
"I had a meeting here, but when I saw you here, I could not help myself." Alexander chucked. He knew Evelyn did not believe him, but he did not care anymore. Alexander is going to be as shameless as possible from now on.
It was hard to believe in such a coincidence. Evelyn narrowed her orbs as her fingers fiddled with the tip of her hair.
Alexander's eyes softened, looking at Evelyn. So delicate, so gentle, yet so vicious.
Alexander had overheard every word that has been exchanged between Evelyn and Olivia.
If anyone asked Alexander about his day. He would say it was a roller coaster.
Evelyn's eyes revealed her disbelief at his words.
Alexander felt guilty and could not meet Evelyn's inquiring sights.
Alexander wanted to confess but was unsure about the outcome.
Alexander had looked into the papers, which he had seen at Evelyn's desk at her company the other day. He knew that it was related to Kyle's family. But what was it that made Evelyn so digress was still a mystery?
Alexander still remembered Dave's reception when he first saw Evelyn. It was clear as the day that whatever Evelyn did day was a personal feud.
Did Evelyn love Dave? What was their relationship? Was Kyle blackmailing Evelyn? What did Black's had on her?
So many questions, but so few answers were making Alexander crazy. He wanted to ask Evelyn what was her relationship with Dave?
But Alexander was afraid. What if Evelyn was really in a relationship with Dave? It is known to all that Dave still loved his ex-lover. But what if that lover was Evelyn? What if she still had some feelings left for Dave?
Alexander had driven himself in front of BH Industries to have a talk with Dave. The voices in his head were making him unable to concentrate on anything else.
Dave was like an elder brother to Alexander and respected his opinion. If Dave truly was still in love with Evelyn, then Alexander decided to separate himself from the feelings which were yet to blossom.
It had been hours, and Alexander was still sitting in the car engrossed in his thoughts. When he saw Evelyn enter the building, Alexander was confused.
'Were his assumptions true?' The question was killing Alexander's sanity, but then he saw Olivia walking out of the company.
Alexander was still contemplating his next move when he saw Evelyn coming out.
Alexander wanted to go up and talk with Dave, but at the same time, he also wanted to follow Evelyn like a bee following the scent of a flower.
Alexander followed the car, seeing the bodyguards surrounding Evelyn, he understood they would be outside Evelyn's door waiting for their master.
Were Evelyn's bodyguards good compared to his? No. Alexander decided to replace the incompetent entireties with his trustworthy ones.
Alexander wanted to enter the room as soon as the problem with bodyguards was solved, but then he heard a question. "Are you really not Dave's girlfriend?"
Alexander's footsteps stopped. He wanted to know what Evelyn would answer. His heartbeat was racing at an unimaginable speed.
So many possibilities and so many questions were circulating in Alexander's mind.
As he listened more, Alexander got more confident. Evelyn was not Dave's lover. It was her best friend that was in a relationship with Dave, not her.
This realization made Alexander's heart skip a beat. His face was glowing in the midst of first love as his lips curled in a smile. He was experiencing many emotions at once.
Relief, peace, warmth, excitement, happiness, and many more. Every emotion was mixing itself into another, creating harmony.
At that time, Alexander decided. No matter what happens, he would make Evelyn his. Be it the family or friends, anyone who wanted to separate Evelyn from him should have only one fate.
A Life is more painful than death.
