Chapter 55_ Lingerie
Olivia paced around the bathroom tugging at her hair at every chance she get, her mum was just so ridiculous to do this to her..
She stared at her reflection in the mirror before her, her mounds were clearly visible from the thin layer of fabric..
She tried okay? this was the most decent dress out of everything in her trunk.. a lingerie..
A rasp knock came on the bathroom’s door startling and jolting her out of her thoughts, she cleared her throat.
“Is everything alright in there?”
Damien’s worried tone came, it’s been quite a while she left to take a shower, his eyes suddenly widened when he recalled something..
“I hope you’re not planning to sleep in the tub?!”
“I’ll be out in a second! quit bugging me!” She retorted in a stern tone panting heavily, if she steps out this way, he might get the wrong impression of everything..
Damien’s lips twitched, he moved away from the door and walked to the table where he kept his laptop..
His brows furrowed confusedly as he looked around the room, wasn’t there a sofa here before they left for dinner? or was his head messing with him?
“How strange!..”
He picked his laptop up from the table and walked to the bed taking a seat, he placed his long legs on the bed before resting his back against the headboard..
He opened the laptop typing away nonstop until he heard the small click the bathroom door just made..
His breath hung up in his throat when Olivia stepped in putting on a thin red lingerie..

Alexa handed an envelope to a man standing in front of her, she stared at him meaningfully, he was none other than long beard whose beard she chopped off the other day..
She could tell from his expression that he still held that grudge against her, but she honestly didn’t care, all she cared about as of now, was to take care of Olivia and her son who had caused her so much trouble in the last few days..
Rihanna was way too heart broken to say a word, she just gawk silently, she supported Alexa with whatever she planned on doing.
No matter how dangerous it may seem to be now, she didn’t bother to find out, all she wanted as of now was to cast Olivia out of the way..
“Don’t forget to come along with this card or else you want to guard the hall outside all night!.. you’ll get the balance once the job has been completed, and lastly go get yourself a fancy outfit! you can’t come in looking like a hooligan!” Alexa lashed out at him irritably..
Long beard, or perhaps short beard now, nodded his head in affirmation.
He opened his mouth to speak only for Alexa to raise her hand a little..
“Save it! you reek of alcohol and I don’t want to throw up.. just do as you’ve been instructed.. now leave with your stench!”
Veins popped up on long beard’s forehead, if not for the sake that she was paying a large sum of money and also because she was the daughter of the Sterling’s, he doubted if he’d have gone easy on her..
“I’ll be there..” he gritted in annoyance before walking away..
Alexa turned to Rihanna who had been standing aside and also quiet..
“Come on Rihanna.. stop sulking, we’ve got this covered okay? let’s just wait for my grandfather’s birthday party alright?”
She murmured softly pulling Rihanna into an embrace..
“I’m leaving for Chicago tomorrow Alexa”
Alexa’s brows drew together..

Olivia’s toes curled up in embarrassment, she practically stared at every other part of the room except for Damien’s direction..
Damien’s heart thumped wildly in his chest, he gulped down a lump in his throat, he pulled his gaze off her suddenly feeling hot in the room..
“Umm..”
He closed his eyes briefly with a curse escaping from his lips, he could hardly try to keep his attention on his opened laptop..
They roam on their own and settled on her once more, he wondered what made her put this on when they were supposed to be sharing a room together, has she forgotten that he was a man? a man only she could arouse?..
Okay, maybe because she didn’t know about the last part..
His body was behaving strangely and surprisingly acting according to what his eyes saw..
A part of his body was already hardening by the seconds threatening to rip out of his pants but he took several deep breaths to calm his nerves down..
“What are you putting on?” he managed to say in a hoarse voice..
Olivia blushed red, she knew it! he was going to take this the wrong way when she really wasn’t the one at fault..
Actually she was, she should have just cross checked what her mum packed up for her given how mischievous she really was..
“It’s not really intentional… this is so far the most decent wear in my trunk”
Damien’s jaw dropped, was she trying to say that her two luggage cases were filled up with this type of wears?
This was going to be a long and tough night for him if she remained in the same room with him..
“What?”
And here he thought his mum was a little bit too much, he smelt something fishy, this must have been their little conspiracy..
He stepped down from the bed keeping his laptop aside, he tried as much as possible not to look at her while he moved to his luggage case..
He opened it, skimming through it for something appropriate for her to wear in there, he took out a white shirt and tossed it to her which she caught with ease..
“Put that on”
They both stared down at the little pack that fell out of the shirt and their cheeks burned red in embarrassment..
Olivia swallowed hard staring at the little pack on the floor, she wasn’t a kid not to know what it was, but either way, what was Damien doing with it?
“That’s a-This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
Damien picked it up and stuffed it into his luggage once more, he raised his head to meet her questioning gaze..
“Umm.. I guess it was packed up by mistake”
Olivia stared blankly at his face for a while, she turned around heading into the bathroom once more to change into the shirt..
Once she was in, she stared at the transparent white shirt with a scrunched face, this was way worse than her lingerie..
Her eyes rounded as if realizing something..
“What if.. he’s having shameless thoughts about us?”
She clutched the shirt to her chest in deep thought, everything was going wrong one way or the other, she heard his footsteps fading, probably heading back to the bed..
