“Is everything alright, Alexander?” she asked and swallowed nervously.
“No, everything is not alright,” he replied in a clipped voice. “I’m calling to ask if untrue rumors amuse you?”
Olivia’s eyebrows drew together in confusion. “I have no idea what you’re talking about,” she admitted honestly.
This just made Alexander even more angry. “I want to know if you find pleasure in spreading rumors about your boss.”
“Alexander, honestly, I have-“
Olivia was interrupted by Aiden’s loud voice.
“Hey, Olivia! Come over here so I can feed you some watermelon.”
Olivia’s stomach swooped with panic. She tried to cover the phone speaker so that Alexander couldn’t hear Aiden, but she hung up the call by accident.
Apprehension coursed through her body. “Guys, we should get back on the road,” Olivia told the other two.
Anger flooded through Alexander. He couldn’t believe that she had the audacity to hang up on him. Did she have a guy at her house and didn’t. want him to know?
Richard hesitantly looked at Alexander. “Was that a…guy’s voice?”
Gai let out a gasp, and Alexander turned to her. “What do you know?” he asked. “Is she with a guy?”
Gai bit her lip and shook her head.
“Tell me,” Alexander said in a rough, commanding tone.
“Mike saw Olivia in the parking garage across from her apartment building hugging a young man and then getting in a car and leaving with him,” Gai rushed out, then slapped a hand over her mouth, regret shining in her eyes.
Guilt settled low in her stomach for selling out her friend. But Gai had never done well under pressure.
“What did this guy look like?” Richard asked calmly. He wanted to take over the questioning because Alexander’s face was turning red with rage.
“Mike said that he was, um, muscular and that he looked between the ages of eighteen and twenty-one.”
Alexander scoffed at his age.
“So, Olivia must like young guys then,” Richard said as he flipped his signal to merge lanes.
“Don’t jump to conclusions,” Gai snapped. “Maybe that guy was just a friend.” She didn’t actually believe the words that she was saying, but after everything she had revealed about Olivia, she wanted to stick up for the girl she had grown quite close to.
Richard glanced at Gai in the rearview mirror, and they narrowed their eyes at each other. Their rift just added to the chilly mood in the car.
The three drove for a few minutes in an uncomfortable silence, and Richard shifted in his seat. “Well, it seems like Olivia has found a younger man to warm her bed,” he joked, trying to break the tension.
But this only added to the uncase in the car.
Alexander wanted to scold his bodyguard for daring to crack a joke like that. But he knew that Richard wasn’t the one that he was actually mad at.
“I wonder where she is going with him,” Alexander muttered quietly to himself.
His stomach swooped when he remembered that he had the ability to track Olivia’s location using his phone. Quickly, he pulled up the app and leaned in closer to see where she was. His hand tightened around his phone when he saw that she was ahead of their car on the same highway as them.
On route to Luceland, just like him.
“Olivia, is right up ahead,” Alexander growled and pointed out her car to Richard. “Follow after her.”
Richard nodded and sped up. Gai shook her head and worried about what Alexander would say to Olivia when he saw her. She didn’t want to be the reason they fought. Maybe she should have tried harder not to reveal the man Mike had seen with Olivia.
“I bet that Olivia thought you were going to go to Luceland with Ms. Wright, so she invited this college guy along to make you jealous,” Richard theorized as he sped up.
“Do me a favor, Richard,” Alexander said through gritted teeth.
“Yeah, boss?”
“Keep your opinions to yourself.”

I sat in the backseat of my car as Aiden drove, and Ava chatted happily to her brother. Crossing my arms, I stared nervously out the window. Guilt ate away at me for accidentally hanging up on Alexander and for- not telling him that I was headed to Luceland this weekend, too. My stomach stiffened with fear as I thought about how he would react if he knew I had copied his travel plans.
Ava straightened in her seat, startling me out of my thoughts. “Hey…is that Alexander’s car?” she asked.
My heart raced as I looked behind us, and sure enough, I spotted Alexander’s, although Richard was the one driving. They were only a few cars behind us.
This wasn’t good.
Ava turned around and looked at me with confusion. “Why is Alexander following us?”
I sighed and decided to come clean. “He isn’t. Alexander planned a trip to Luceland for a different reason before we planned ours.” I couldn’t help the bitterness in my voice when I pictured Naomi’s perfect face.
But I had bigger problems right now. I’d managed to get a quick peak at Alexander’s face, and he had been frowning, his dark eyes in angry slits. Quickly, I took my phone out to message Gai and asked why Alexander looked so mad.
I waited for a full five minutes, but she didn’t reply.
Pretty soon, Alexander’s car was right behind us, and my stomach rolled with anxiety.
I didn’t want to find out what would happen if he caught up to us.
