Chapter 4 The next day, I went to the office to pack up my stuff. when I walked into my private rest room, I found Olivia sprawled there in skimpy pajamas with her feet up on my desk. crap was scattered all over my space, while all my belongings had been dumped outside the door. This was my personal sanctuary that Kat had specially designed just for me. Everyone in the company knew it was off-limits. Nobody dared set foot in that room. What Olivia was doing was basically taking a giant shit all over me in public. didn't bother arguing with her-just called the cops. n the mediation room, Olivia panicked: "I was just grabbing some files for Kai. Did you really have to call the police?" That's my private space. Did I give you permission to go in there?" ething without asking-that's called stealing, isn't it?" Ivia didn't argue back. Instead, she suddenly started crying crocodile tears. That's when I knew something was wrong. around to find Kai standing there with a dark expression. Ка he moment she saw him, Olivia threw herself into his arms. I really was just trying to help you get those documents, but Lia seems to hate me. She insists on calling me a thief. You've given me so much stuff my mansion an barely fit it all-why would I want her cheap junk?" hat little room was Kai's "sanctuary" gift to me. lis response to the wooden cabin I'd built for him. Ve'd made so many sweet memories in that room. always thought at least that sacred space would stay pure-like the last shred of dignity our love had left. ¡ut of course Kai had to personally destroy my final illusion. Cal comforted Olivia while explaining to the officers: This is all a misunderstanding. We all know each other. Sorry for wasting your time." Then he turned to me with disgust: 'Lia, what the hell happened to you? You're completely unhinged with jealousy. Does it make you feel powerful to use your position to hurt innocent employees like Olivia? You're so fucking disappointing." Before I could fight back, Olivia started her victim act again: "Kai, don't blame Lia. I was careless." "I don't mind sitting in jail for a few days and being laughed at. Just don't let this come between you and Lia." Kai grabbed Olivia's hand, looking heartbroken: "Liv, you're too soft-that's why people keep picking on you." "Lia, this isn't over. You need to apologize to Olivia right now." "Kai, she entered my private space without permission, and you want me to apologize to her? You think she's the victim here?" My words set Olivia off into another sob session. Kai laughed coldly: "Your private space? That room belongs to Reynolds Corp. Don't forget the entire company is under my name. You just have usage rights. Keep this attitude up, and I'll have you arrested for filing a false report." with that, he dragged Olivia away to handle the paperwork. His words stabbed into my heart like a blade. My supposedly dead heart started aching again. All these years I'd poured everything into building up Reynolds Corp. I thought I was working toward our shared future. rurns out I was just getting "usage rights." Before leaving the mediation room, Kai gave me one final warning: Fair warning-we're at 990 likes now. Keep this shit up, and Olivia and I are getting married tomorrow." caught the contemptuous look in Olivia's eyes as she stood behind him, and suddenly realized how pathetic I'd been. Olivia's schemes were always pretty obvious. Kai was smart enough to see right through them. He just chose to ignore it. His heart had already chosen sides. All of this was just his way of getting rid of his clingy ex. Only I was stupid enough to keep trying to make peace. Once I figured that out, the last bit of love I had for Kai finally died. During my last few days before leaving for Seattle, a bunch of gossipy coworkers kept sliding into my DMS: '994 likes now! Better grovel before someone steals your man!" Tsk tsk, 997 likes. Looks like you're gonna die a spinster." Wow, you're lasting longer this time. Did you finally realize you can't compete with Olivia and piss yourself running away? LMAO." I blocked and deleted every single one of them. When the likes hit 999, and I still hadn't come crawling back, Kai's mood was darker than a storm cloud. Nobody in the office dared hit that final like button. Just as Kai was figuring out how to threaten me again, someone burst into his office shouting: "Mr. Reynolds! We hit 1,000 likes!"
