Chapter 17 What Is Alex’s Relationship With Olivia?

Upon hearing this, Olivia's small face turned red as if it was going to bleed. She looked up at Alex, "Mr. Tres, please don't tease me." Upon hearing this, Alex's voice was indifferent as he said, "Alright, I'll spare you for now." His voice carried a hint of gentleness, but he seemed unaware of it. Oliver waited outside the office for a long time, but there was still no sound coming from inside the room. He couldn't help but shake his head and muttered to himself, "Where did Alex go? Maybe he really isn't in the office?" With that, unwillingly, he left. The footsteps outside the office grew farther and farther away, and only then did Olivia quietly breathe a sigh of relief. ***** Alex sat on the sofa, observing the disheveled collar of Olivia's shirt. His voice was deep as he said, "There's still some time before work starts. You can rest here for a while." Upon hearing this, Olivia quickly responded, "No, thank you, Mr. Adams. I still have things to do. I’m leaving." She didn't dare to linger too long in Alex's office, especially after narrowly avoiding being caught by Oliver just now. If someone else came to find Alex later and saw her, she really wouldn't be able to explain herself. With this in mind, Olivia hastily put on her suit jacket and hurriedly left the office. Watching her slender figure depart, a hint of amusement flickered in Alex's eyes. ***** In the afternoon, Olivia began to tackle her tasks diligently. She meticulously checked every task before submitting them to her superiors. There were no small matters in the finance department, as even minor oversights could lead to serious consequences. As the end of the workday approached, a group chat from school on WhatsApp sent a message asking students with an internship to fill out information regarding their internship. Olivia quickly filled in her information and sent the form. Immediately after sending it, she received a message from Rosa. [Olivia, how did you manage to get an internship offer from the Adams Corporation?" Seeing this message, Olivia was speechless. She didn't want to engage with Rosa and simply chose not to reply. Rosa sent another message. [Olivia, are you lying? With your qualifications, how could the Adams Corporation possibly be interested in you? Just wait, I'll tell the teacher later and let them know you're lying.] [Whatever,] Olivia replied and then put away her phone. Moments later, Jillian entered the room and placed a cup of coffee on Olivia's desk. "Latte, 70% sugar. Give it a try." Olivia took the coffee and smiled, saying, "Thank you. I'll pay you back later." Jillian smiled and said, "No need. Consider it my treat for you." Olivia looked at her with a smile. Soon it was time to leave work. She packed up her things and prepared to leave. Olivia planned to visit her mother in the hospital after work because she was worried about leaving her alone all day. She also wondered how the new caregiver was treating her mom. As Olivia reached the ground floor, she noticed a familiar black Maybach parked nearby. She paused when she saw the license plate. It was a unique limited edition worldwide. She immediately recognized it as Alex's car. Olivia noticed a handsome man in the passenger seat, though his icy demeanor kept others at bay. He seemed to be waiting for someone. However, Olivia paid no further attention to him. She believed that she was not the person that Alex was waiting for. “Mr. Adams’s car…” Jillian looked at the car with envy. Olivia followed Jillian's gaze and smiled awkwardly. She had not only ridden in this car before but had also shared many intimate moments with Alex inside it. Whenever Alex was in the mood, he would do whatever he pleased with her in the car. Thinking of this, Olivia felt a sense of annoyance. She shook her head vigorously, trying to force herself to forget it all. She continued walking with Jillian, intending to bypass Alex's car. Suddenly, she heard Oliver's voice from behind, "Olivia, wait a moment." Olivia stopped in her tracks and turned to see Oliver walking towards her. "Mr. Oliver?" Jillian was surprised to see Oliver and glanced at Olivia. "Olivia, do you know Mr. Oliver?" Olivia was speechless and couldn't help but roll her eyes internally before replying, "We go to the same school." Hearing Olivia's words, Oliver's expression darkened. She used to be his girlfriend, but now she simply referred to them as alumni, clearly redefining their relationship. "Olivia, I need to talk to you," Oliver said, reaching out to grab Olivia's wrist. Olivia quickly shook off his hand and replied coldly, "I don't want to talk to you." With that, she instinctively took two steps back, keeping her distance from him. Jillian stood by the side while enjoying the drama. "Olivia, I sincerely apologize to you. I've heard about what happened with Henry, and I had no idea he was capable of such things." Olivia remained silent, just looking at him indifferently. Seeing her expression, Oliver felt extremely upset. "Is there anything else? If not, I'll leave," Olivia said, preparing to leave. Oliver reached out to stop her before saying, "I sincerely apologize to you." "No need." Olivia's tone was indifferent and distant. Hearing this, Oliver sighed helplessly. "Do you really dislike me that much? Where do you live? Shall I take you home?" Olivia had no intention of getting involved with him any further, attempting to walk around him to leave. But he grabbed her again. "I must take you home today." Olivia hesitated for a moment. She thought, ‘Has he gone mad? We have broken up. Why is he still acting so nice to me?’ She took out her phone and said coldly, "If you don’t leave me alone, I will call Rosa." Hearing this, Oliver's face turned ugly. In a low voice, he said, "Olivia, I don't have any ill intentions. I just want to see how you're doing now." Olivia was taken aback. She had always thought Oliver was a gentle guy, and she had once been captivated by his tenderness. But now, Oliver no longer belonged to her. He had a fiancée now. ***** Suddenly, Alex strode over. Olivia's heart raced nervously as she saw him approach, her small hand subconsciously gripping her clothes. She thought, ‘Why did Alex get out of his car? What does he want to do?’ Seeing Alex's approach, Oliver was also surprised. "Alex, why are you still here?" His voice carried a hint of nervousness. Alex asked, "What are you two talking about?" His tall figure exuded a cold aura, he looked at everyone before eventually landing his gaze on Olivia's face. Oliver spoke up, "I was just discussing something with Olivia." Alex said displeased, "Oliver, you're about to get engaged. How can you still be involved with other women? Are you not going to go through with the wedding?"
