Chapter 117
Brayden froze, his mind momentarily blank.
When he realized it, Olivia fell asleep again, but her hand was holding around his waist.
His heart was beating fast.
This was the first time she had held him like this.
Unconscious but trusting.
He looked down at her sleepy face.
She was quiet, obedient and sensible.
Like a harmless cat.
She made him feel pitiful for her.
He couldn't help but reach out and touch her face.
As soon as his fingers touched her face, she frowned sensitively.
Frightened, Brayden immediately withdrew his hand, like a thief, and did not dare to move for a long time.
But Olivia was not awake.
She slept soundly and was not affected by his touch.
Brayden didn't dare to touch her.
But his eyes were locked on her, from her forehead to her eyes, eyelashes, nose, and lips.
Then, it stopped on her slightly opened lips.
Brayden's eyes were burning, and his heart was beating fast in his chest.
He wanted to kiss her.
Kiss her.
These two words repeated in his mind, crushing his sanity.
Brayden lowered his head and moved his lips closer to her.
Just as he was about to touch her, she murmured.
"Everett..." Brayden froze.
Everett...He didn't know what did this word mean before, but now he knew it.
Everett.
That was his name she once called him, right? He recovered his sanity.
Brayden sat up straight and looked at the girl in his arms.
"You still love Everett, don't you?’ The next morning, Brayden sent Olivia to AK.
Before getting off of the car, Olivia frowned at Brayden.
There were red streaks in his eyes as if he hadn't slept last night.
"Don't come to pick me up at noon or at night.Have a good rest in the hotel.’ Brayden smiled.
"It's okay."
Olivia was serious. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
"Be good."
The concern and worry in her eyes were real.
Even if she loved Everett, Brayden thought he still had a place in her heart.
"Okay.Olivia got out of the car and went to the company.Brayden saw her enter and didn't start the car until he couldn't see her anymore.As soon as he left, a car drove by and stopped opposite him.
The door opened and Preston came down.
He looked at the car leaving in front of him and then AK, then felt confused.
What happened? He saw Everett's nephew yesterday and saw him again today.
Brayden went back to the hotel, packed his bags, checked out, and went to the apartment his friend had found for him.
From today on, he would live in this apartment with Olivia.
When they get familiar with this place, they would change to another house.
When Olivia arrived at the company, she began to work hard.
She had to come up with a plan by tomorrow.
And she had already estimated that she could make it tonight.
Preston looked inside as he passed the Design Department.
Olivia was working very hard.
He really thought she was a good employee.
He liked it.
At noon, everyone went to the canteen to eat.
Olivia was still busy alone.
Her phone rang.
Olivia finally relaxed herself from the work and took her phone.
"Brayden.’ It was Brayden.
"Olivia, I can't pick you up for lunch.Remember to eat something.’
"Okay, you have a good rest at the hotel."
"Well, I'll pick you up tonight."
"No, I'll go back myself"
"No, I would come because I have a surprise for you tonight."
Olivia smiled.
"Are you going to prepare the surprise for me during the lunch time?"
"You're so smart."
"You really..."
"Go to have lunch, okay?"
"Okay"
After hanging up, Olivia simply put away the table, got up, and went to the canteen.
Some of the people in the canteen had finished eating, but there were still a lot of people.
Olivia found an empty seat for the meal, wiped the table with a tissue, and started to eat.
It was only five minutes after she sat down that a person sat across from her.
