Chapter 221 - Snagging A Spot (2/2)

Subconsciously, Olivia scrunched her nose when all she could see was trouble painted all over Oliver's face.

It was pretty obvious when a corner of Oliver's lips tipped up in a mocking smirk and she could feel the tension chord between the two.

”Hahahahaha! That's good to hear. That product actually came from Konstantin's friend in Vuono. The specs were promising so I gave it a try and even the prime minister had it installed in his home too.”

Olivia managed to keep a straight face at the information she heard. She opened her mouth to speak but immediately closed it when a member of the organizing committee cleared her throat and it echoed in the hallway as the mic was working.

”I believe that's our cue to leave, ladies,” Konstantin uttered.

”Nice to see you, Mr. Lin. Looking forward to pitching my new baby. I'm sure Lin Prime Holdings would love it.” Chanel Greene winked and turned on her heel to exit.

Wiggling her eyebrow on Ollie, Olivia followed Chanel Greene out of the hall.

Once the ladies were on their way out, Konstantin shook hands with Ollie; however, just as he pulled his hand away, Ollie's grasp tightened.

The two men exchanged piercing stares and not one backed down until Olivia had to come back and fetch Konstantin, breaking the handshake apart.

She shook her head towards Ollie's way, knowing why her brother was so pissy that morning. ”Good luck,” she whispered to Seth, clamping a hand on his shoulder.

”He-he.” Seth was smiling as he laughed, but it was obvious that he was nervous with the way his voice shook. He then dabbed a hanky on his forehead when he felt a bead of sweat dribbled from his temple to his chin. When he heard Oliver grunt, Seth stood in attention with both hands pressed on either of his sides.

Olivia found the personal assistant's struggle cute, so she gave him a consoling smile before sauntering away from her brother.

As the trio—Olivia, Chanel, and Konstantin—reached the elevators, Shadow checked the lift first when the door opened.

Her eyes scanned the space and pressed a button on her lapel when the blinking red light from the camera stopped. ”Clear,” she said through her mic.

In sync, the entourage filed inside the elevator. Olivia and Chanel Greene were deep in conversation until they reached the room where they would be having a discussion.

”Hahahahahahaha!” Chanel Greene laughed, hiding the panic in her voice as she saw the back of a man she didn't dare dream of sharing the same space with.
