Chapter 63 - Shatter His Dream (2/2)

Behind the sea of assistants and body guards, Maxen happily tapped his foot on the steel floor. He felt victorious after winning their argument earlier that he felt like hugging his trophy. So he wrapped his hand on Olivia's waist and started peppering the length of her neck with soft and hot kisses. He made sure to kiss her s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e spot, the skin behind her earlobe first, just to weaken her defenses.

However, instead of turning into jelly, Olivia fought back, digging the heel of her stiletto on his leather shoe and the seething glare that she gave him was a promise that she would get back at him with another round of vengeance.

Her nostrils flared as she held onto her anger because she didn't want to make a scene in the enclosed space that they were in, but he would for sure get what he wished for.

Olivia's mute defiance energized Maxen more. He had a field day pushing her buttons, smiling amidst all the stomping and elbowing she did to him while he tightened his hug and made loud smacking kisses on her neck and her face. Little did he know of the ramifications of his action once they step outside.

Upon reaching the bas.e.m.e.nt parking, the group walked towards the standing cars by the curb.

There were two identical cars which belonged to Maxen and Olivia's car which Uncle Jin alighted to hold the car door open for Olivia.

Everything fell back to business.

The group split to their respective cars.

Jack, Secretary Gail and MIB2 marched towards one of Maxen's car to share one car and left the other identical car empty as a decoy for security measure.

The other half of the group—Olivia, Maxen and Shadow made their way towards Uncle Jin. They can only use Olivia's car to enter the Lin mansion and the rest of the envoy could only wait outside to avoid Henry Lin's detection.

All of a sudden, Olivia called Secretary Gail's attention. ”Gail, please cancel the moving services for my apartment and the lease contract for East Hangar too.”

Maxen halted his steps. He scratched the skin above his eyebrow as he thought carefully of his next words. Was this her pay back?

Last night they agreed to move into his penthouse and keep her apartment as an office and today she pulled the rug under him in one swoop motion with what she said.

Olivia advanced to the car, every thud of her stiletto gave fright to Maxen who tightened his grip on the car door's frame. It was her warning that she didn't care for his title – there are hundreds of princes around the world… just like him. And she, Olivia Lin, would not bend to the whims of a prince.

Maxen tipped his head to Uncle Jin, prompting the the old man to let him hold the door for Olivia. ”Seriously? Let's stop annoying each other, Olivia.”

”More like, stop annoying me, Maxen.” She raised a single brow at him before she entered the car to seek shelter from the heat of the bas.e.m.e.nt parking.

”Don't listen to her.” Maxen barked at Secretary Gail.

He drew his gaze to Olivia inside the car and saw for himself as she sat inside with her legs crossed, disregarding him by looking at her reflection on the car window on the other side.

After taking a sharp breath, Maxen dragged his glare from Olivia to Secretary Gail who stood unperturbed outside. He sneered in his thoughts as he came to a conclusion: The boss is imperious, of course it rubbed off on her assistant too.

”Enjoy the rest of your day, Your Highness.” Secretary Gail held a blank as a canvass look on her face, bowing before she retreated to the other waiting car.

”Oliviaaa,” Maxen pleaded, tickling Olivia's ears. She loved how he crooned her name, dragging the last syllable: O-li-viaaa.

She uncrossed her legs and scooted towards the open door. Out from the shadows revealed a sinister cunning smile that painted her beautiful face, a blast of cold air sent shivers to Maxen's spine.

Subconsciously, he scratched the skin above his eyebrows again. He may have gotten what he wanted now but she made sure that she would shatter his dream: Her in his bed tucked in his arms every night.

”Maxen baby,” she purred as she played with his tie, ”Aren't you coming with me to my doctor's appointment?”
