Chapter 33_ Misunderstanding
Anita picked up her purse from the floor and flashed them a wide grin..
“Oh my! please carry on with whatever you were doing, I just stopped by to check on you both.. have fun” she winked teasingly at her son and bolted out of the office…
“mum!”
Damien frowned at Olivia who wasn’t making a move to stand up from his laps, but for a moment he was lost staring at her..
From this close, he could perceive her signature floral scent and the faint scent coming from her hair which smelt like vanilla..
But what surprised him the most was that a little part of his body was a little bit too excited which caused a line of confusion to carve up on his perfect brows..
In the next second, she jerked up from his laps and turned to him with raised brows, Damien instinctively crossed one of his legs over the other…
“Pervert!” she lashed out in irritation and stomped her way back to her compartment..
Damien stared down at the bulge trying to rip its way out of his pants, he wasn’t sure if he should be happy or sad about this..
Firstly, he had a condition right after the night he was drugged at a party six years ago, he found out that his little monster doesn’t rise anymore which bothered him greatly..
He had been to several hospital in and out of the country but always got one answer every single time.. ‘There’s nothing wrong with you Mr Sterling’
Secondly, he had to invite top notch beauties and models in and out of the country secretly to different hotels for a private strip show..
But they failed miserably at making his little monster power on again, luckily Rihanna came around..
Even though she wasn’t able to power ‘it’ up well, he was relieved that he would heal over time with her but his condition only worsen..
But today, without having to do anything, the lady across the room really did what no lady could do all these years..
Should he be happy or sad?

Xander’s brows creased when a young man stepped out of his kitchen with an apron around his thin waist..
“Good you’re back”
He threw a death glare at the man who was unfazed by his glary daggers..
“What are you doing here? I’ve told you haven’t I? stop coming to my house unannounced! it’s really creepy!”
Charles shrugged nonchalantly and walked towards the iceberg who was rooted to the ground..
“Relax, I’m just gonna crash in for a few days or probably weeks”
Xander snorted “The last time you said this, you ended up staying for a whole freaking year!”
Charles chuckled going down the memory lane, he really just loved hanging out with his little cousin but the latter only saw him as a competition..
He ruffled Xander’s hair playfully and walked back slowly to the kitchen..
“With time you’ll understand things little bro”
Little bro? oh no! Xander’s knuckles tightened..
“Little bro?! you’re only older than me with a day! stop calling me that and get your lazy a*s out of my house this minute!”
Charles knew how much Xander hates being called ‘little bro’ by him when they were technically the same age, except Charles was older with just a day..
Funny enough, Charles never missed the chance to rub it over Xander’s face at every opportunity he could get, sometimes at business meetings, parties and other times at Xander’s numerous dates..
“Trust me this stay will be short.. I promise”
Even at that Xander wasn’t still convinced, he knew Charles well by now, they practically grew up together.. the latter does just the opposite of his words..
“Fine! but stay away from my chics!” he warned sternly with a glare..
Charles raised both hands up just above his chest backing away slowly..
“Rest assured, and besides none of your chic’s caught my attention, and the one who did has two kids already..”
Xander rolled his eyes and made his way up to his room, he was too tired to argue with the ever so bubbly Charles..

Damien stood up from his seat the moment he spotted Olivia coming out of her little office with her bags..
She was a bit startled by his sudden behavior, she gave a loud snort and made her way out of the office..
He followed behind her, they both got into the elevator and Olivia could swear that his eyes never left her till they got out of the building..
She stopped on her tracks and swiftly turned to him when she couldn’t bear it anymore..
“Stop staring! you’re making me uncomfortable!” She lashed out with a sharp glare..
A black Rolls Royce pulled up to them closely followed by another car, a guard walked out of the other car and pulled the door of the Rolls Royce open for their boss to step in..
Damien massaged his nape in embarrassment, he flashed a forced smile and nudged her towards the car..
“Get in, I’ll drop you off”
Olivia took a step backwards in protest, for him to watch her fall to the ground earlier today and also make a video out of it, she doubted if he won’t strangle her in the dark car..
“Why? so you can push me out of the moving car and also make a movie out of it?” She sarcastically commented rolling her eyes hard at him..
Damien gave a nod to her and held her arm, he pushed her gently into the car not giving in to her dramatic protest..
***
All throughout the ride Olivia was glued to the door like a leech, she really didn’t want to end up being strangled by him in this small space..
He caught her staring at him and this time a smirk carved deeply on his lips..
“You suddenly can’t stop staring at me? it’s okay I don’t mind it”
Olivia retracted her gaze in embarrassment, she felt something was a bit different about him but couldn’t place a finger to it..
He was rather too calm or was he plotting something against her?
The car came to a halt right in front of her building..
Her brows furrowed when she saw him about to step out of the car..
“Where are you going?”
Damien ignored her question and stepped out of the car and so did she..
She watched him moving towards the building and immediately caught up with him blocking his path with her hands wide open by her sides..
“You’re not welcomed into our home.. I suggest you leave”
Damien pushed down her hand that was blocking his way..
“Move! I want to see Kelvin”
Olivia was just about to retort when she saw Jonah heading their way, her lips pulled up into a small smile..NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
“Olivia”
He called out and embraced her warmly completely disregarding the tall and imposing figure whose countenance turned dark the next second..
Jonah pulled away from her with a laugh, “I thought you quitted your job because your boss was a total loafer.. too bad he took you back because I already reserved a position for you”
Olivia’s smile froze on her face the moment Jonah said those words, she could feel Damien’s burning gaze on her and then on poor Jonah..
Jonah followed Olivia’s line of sight and was a bit surprised to see a man behind him, he massaged his nape gently, how on earth did his eyes miss him?..
“Oops! I’m so sorry, I didn’t see you there.. I’m Jonah”
Jonah beamed stretching his hand to the man before him who was as still as ice, he could even count the number of times he had blinked..
Damien stared down at the outstretched hand before him and suddenly gripped it, tightly!
Olivia’s eyes rounded staring at the veins popping out of Damien’s wrist and also the look of discomfort on Jonah’s face..
She cleared her throat pulling their hands apart with a dry laugh..
“Alright!”
Jonah widened and folded his palm continuously to ease his palm, he stared back at the quiet man and for a second found him familiar..
Perhaps because he had some familiar features as Kelvin, or because he looked a lot like the business Lord, Damien Sterling!
“Umm.. I think Kiara must be waiting for you.. come on in” Olivia urged Jonah in..
She shot Damien a mean gaze and huffed loudly before moving in with Jonah..
“Umm boss.. something happened at the Brown’s a few minute ago!”
