Chapter 202 - Give Him A Feast (2/2)

Leaning her head on his c.h.e.s.t, Olivia smiled as her heart lulled with every rumble of his c.h.e.s.t, but her mind quickly drifted to the events that happened that afternoon.

Earlier, she thought the location of The Highlands and the bas.e.m.e.nt parking lot contributed to the lack of reception on her phone, add to that the fact that her phone was an old model too. However, while she was drinking her water in the kitchen just a few minutes ago, she realized that maybe there was someone inside the Sui's household staff who fed the enemy pieces of information about the Suis' movements.

Silence filled the room until something caught Olivia's periphery. It was a monitor that displayed the camera feed outside her apartment. She pushed Maxen out of her way and she trained her eyes on the screen but couldn't make out of what was happening.

Why is a man crouching down by the threshold?

Although Maxen was quick to turn up the volume, it was too late because the man stood up with a cap covering his features as he left the scene.

”What is he doing here?” Olivia mumbled. She wanted to pull her hair for an answer, but confusion took over and she couldn't think clearly anymore. ”Let him go, Max. We don't need to alert him that we knew he was here.” She looked over her shoulders and saw a fuming prince who got an idea who the man could be.

He was always composed and in control, but with how things unfolded before their eyes, it was a rude awakening on Maxen's part too, and he felt impotent at his lack of grip on the situations presented to him on a silver platter.

Seething with rage, he didn't notice Olivia was right in front of him until she cocooned him in her embrace, brushing his back with featherlight touches.

”Will it be weird if I boss you around today, baby?” Maxen asked, his voice was soft and soothing just like the way he brushed her cheeks with the back of his finger. His demeanor was a stark contrast to the anger that boiled in the pit of his stomach.

Although Olivia was not someone he could push around, she didn't protest this time and behaved, listening to Maxen as he spoke.

”I want you to rest here and wait for me, okay?” Olivia bit her bottom lip. She could do that, she told herself in her thoughts, so she nodded her head in agreement.

”What do you want to retrieve in your room? I'll get it for you,” Maxen asked.

”It's in my closet. A brass trinket box that has my initials on it, and a file too in my office. Use the lock in the trinket box.”

Maxen pulled away from their embrace. He fixed his cufflinks and nodded his head, making a mental note to get that trinket first before doing the rest on his agenda.

”Do you want to share what you have in mind?” Olivia angled her head to get a look at the storm brewing in Maxen's eyes because his head bowed as he contemplated his next steps.

”First, I'll get the answers from Lance Go, and then I will deal with him,” he said, rolling his neck. It cracked as he did, relieving it from its stiffness.

”Deal with him...meaning?” Olivia gulped. She didn't need to know the answer because it was too obvious. ”Are you going to kill him?”

”Always remember that death is an easy way out.” He tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, adorning her with his eyes. ”Baby, you're so innocent sometimes I wonder if all of your villainous thoughts is a facade.”

Olivia scoffed. She didn't know if he was complimenting her or making fun of her. Whatever it was, she thought Maxen was cute as a puppy. ”Then what are you going to do to him? I want to know.”

”I'll interrogate him, yes. And if he cooperates, I'll give him a feast.”

”And if he doesn't?”

”I'll cook his balls in front of him and feed it to the dogs.”
