Chapter 2 Chapter 2 " Enough , " Dylan tut in coldly . " This isn't the first time you've tried to seal credit from Chloe . F've warned you before . Stop testing my limits , Olivia said , " I'm not stealing anything . I really was the one who saved you . " Dylan replied with indifference , was barely conscious back then . I couldn't see her face , and I didn't catch her voice , but I saw what she was was had someone look into it . The outfit i saw was Chloe's " oak to move and forced the to switch clothes with her Olivia explained , " That's because after I saved you , she waited until i was too weak Dylan interrupted , annoyed , " Do I look like an idiot to you ? You think I'd fall for something that pathetic ? This is your last warning . Try to take Chloe's credit one more time and I won't let it slide . " The way he looked at her made Olivia lose any desire to keep explaining . She had no proof , but every word she said was the truth … Over the past few years , Olivia had told him the truth more than once . But he never believed her . He only believed what he remembered in that blurry moment those clothes . Olivia scoffed internally , " Anyone who didn't know better would think it was the outfit that saved him " " If one day you find out the truth , don't say I didn't keep my promise . I tried . You were the one who didn't want me . " With that , Olivia turned and walked out of the office . Something in Dylan's chest twitched . A strange frustration crept in , like something was slipping out of his control . He stared at the file on his desk for a moment , then picked up the phone and called his assistant , Ivan Fraser , " Look into Olivia's movements last night . I want to know who she spent the night with , " Dylan ordered , Ivan moved quickly . In less than an hour , he came back with a report . " Mr. Wilson , based on my investigation , Mrs. Wilson left the house alone at eleven Last night and went to The Hideaway Bar " A portion of the bar's surveillance footage was hacked , so we can't see what Mrs. Wilson did inside . Some of the surrounding street cameras were also hacked , so we can't confirm what time she left . " This morning at nine , she left the hotel next to the bar by herself and came straight to the office , " The irritation in Dylan's chest vanished instantly . " So she really spent last night alone . She never actually went out to find a man " She said all that in front of me just to get my attention in another way . Classic push and pull . Too bad I'm not interested in her . That trick doesn't work on me . Dylan didn't even realize how contradictory he was being . He was the one who told Olivia to figure out how to get pregnant on her own , even brought a man home and tried to force her into sleeping with a stranger . But when Olivia actually planned to keep a man , Dylan felt suffocated . And after hearing she spent last night alone , he felt strangely relieved . Dylan ordered , " Right , my stomach's been bothering me . Go make me a cup of stomach - soothing herbal tea and bring it in . " Ivan replied , " We're out of those tea bags . Mrs. Wilson usually prepares and delivers them herself . Since she didn't bring any today , I'll call her now and Dylan frowned and stopped him . " Wait . Don't call her . Has she ever forgotten something like this before ? She's doing it on purpose this time . " She's j ' s just waiting for me to tell y you to contact her so she can feel needed . It's just a cup of tea . Whether I drink it or not doesn't matter He thought , Just like her . Whether she exists or not doesn't matter ." Chapter 2 van replied and said nothing more . He poured Dylan a glass of water to get back to work . But Dylan's frown only deepened . The burning pain in his stomach made his face pale , sweat broke out all over his body , and his hands i In the end , he had no choice but to send Ivan to buy some stomach medicine for him In the car , Olivia called Julian and said on the phone , " Let's meet . Il send you the address of my private villa . Bring your things . You'll be staying there during our arrangement . " Julian's lazy , teasing voice came through the phone . " Already craving me thasn't even been three hours . " Olivia's mouth twitched . " I'm trying to pay you and get your living situation settled . That's where we'll meet from now on . If we keep doing this at hotels , a purely physical setup like ours might get us arrested ," Julian chuckled in a husky tone , " Fair enough . I'm still at last night's hotel . Come pick me up . " After hanging up , Olivia drove to the hotel from the night before . When she got there , she didn't see Julian . She got out of the car and glanced around . Just as she was about to call him , a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of her , exuding a powerful presence that was impossible to ignore . Olivia looked up and saw a handsome man , about six feet three inches tall , standing right in front of her . " Can I help you ? " she asked , frowning , her voice distant . Julian said with a half - smile , " What , you don't recognize me now that I've got clothes on ? " Hearing that familiar voice , Olivia finally realized he was the man from last night . From last night until this morning , they had never turned on the main lights in the room . She had only seen his face in the dim light , not clearly enough to recognize him afterward , Because of what he said , people nearby started giving them strange looks . Olivia's face flushed bright red as she muttered , " Keep your voice down . Do you think that's something to be proud of ? " She got in into the car first . Julian let out a low chuckle and followed Her in . Olivia brought him to a villa Morgan had given her as a wedding gift . This morning we only talked about the money . I didn't go over the specific rules with you . I'll lay them out now As she walked to the couch and sat down , she said , " First , mostly want to see you at night , so your daytimes free . Just don't make any plans in the evening , so you'll be available when I need you " Second , during this arrangement , you're not allowed to see any other clients . I'm paying a lot and I don't plan on sharing " Third , you don't get to drop me just because some other rich woman offers you more . This ends when i say it does . Then you can see other clients " Fourth , no photos , no videos , and you can't tell anyone about what's going on between us . Fifth , neither of us is allowed to look into the other's personal life . That's basically it . If you've got any issues , speak up . " Julian sat down next to her , his posture lazy and relaxed . " I can't be on call all the time . I've got other work . Sometimes I have to work late , and occasionally I go on business trips . There's no way I'm free every night . " Olivia looked surprised . " I thought you worked full - time as an escort Julian said , " This is just a side hustle . I've got a day job . " Chapter 2 Olivia asked . " Three hundred thousand a month still isn't enough for you to quit ? " Julian replied , " That only buys my nights . What I do during the day is a separate rate , and you can't afford it . " Don't worry , though . You'll get your money's worth . If I miss a night because of work , I'll make it up to you another time . Double " Olivia thought about it and figured it wouldn't be a big deal , so she nodded , " Alright , deal . Send me your bank account number , Fil wire you part of the payment first . " " No rush . " Julian suddenly leaned in , his deep voice laced with something seductive , I'm heading out of town for a few days tomorrow . Since I'm free now , how about we get a few sessions in ahead of time ? " Olivia's mouth twitched . " That's not necessary . I'm not that horny . I don't need to sleep with you very day . " Julian grabbed her hand and placed it on his abs . " From the moment we met , your eyes haven't left my body . You sure you don't want it ? " Under her hand , she felt the firm tension of his muscles , and her heart began to race before she even realized it . But Olivia wasn't focused on what he said . What caught her attention was something else . Muscles at rest should feel soft , but under her palm , his abs were rock hard , full of strength . Olivia thought , ' So he's flexing his muscles on purpose ? ' She couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing . "What are you laughing at ? " Julian looked confused . Olivia's face was flushed from laughing . She spoke between laughs , " Muscles are supposed to be soft when they're relaxed , but your abs are so firm . Are you secretly flexing ? " Never mind . Forget it . Still , I guess it means you're willing to put in the effort for me ." A crooked smirk tugged at the corner of Julian's lips . " So you really like it hard that much ? Ө
