Chapter 59 - In Between (1/2)

The two women walked to Olivia's room making small talk along the way. After they entered the room, Brione felt a heavy feeling inside her chest. Olivia seemed to be a nice woman and she could feel that she was treating her genuinely. Those smiles of hers towards Brione were not at all fake.

She felt that it was better to have an opponent like those crazy bitches they show in dramas than a calm and understanding person like Olivia. Olivia was more complicated to deal with than them because she was the type of woman you would have to think twice before treating her unfairly.

”I am sorry,” Brione whispered as soon as she sat on the couch. She did not know why but she was compelled to apologize. Maybe because she felt guilty after seeing the sincere eyes of Olivia. She could feel how much she loved Cedric even though she was hiding it behind her smiles. It was a woman's instinct. She had good eyes in deciphering a woman.

Olivia, who was not expecting that, was caught off guard. She was about to say something when the doorbell rang. It was the room service staff who arrived with the bottles of vodka she requested.

She immediately dismissed the staff, opened a bottle, and handed it to Brione before sitting on the couch opposite Brione.

”You don't have to apologize when you did nothing wrong. Cedric chose you and I respect that. What matters is if you are someone deserving of his love. And I can say that you are after spending a short time knowing you.” Olivia said with a reassuring smile.

Brione looked at her and asked, ”How are you so sure?”

Olivia smiled and said, ”Eyes don't lie Brione. And your eyes tell me that you  love Cedric so I am relieved.”

'I love Cedric? No! It's Gavin that I love!' Brione thought in shock. She drank the vodka in her hand before asking, ”Did you notice it too?”

”Notice what?” Olivia asked while taking a sip of vodka. She was trying her best to feel normal but there was an undeniable tension between her and Brione. It was not the bad kind of tension though.

”How different he is…” Brione opened up before gulping her vodka. Olivia stayed silent and watched her. She had noticed the difference in him since she was with Cedric for a long time but Brione… She had only spent a few days with Cedric, not even a week so how could she say that?

Brione wanted to let go of that heavy feeling inside her chest. She was not someone who would hurt a person intentionally but how could she explain things to Olivia without making things complicated?

”You've known Cedric since childhood right?” Brione asked.

”Yes,” Olivia answered.

Brione stared at her without blinking for a few seconds. ”Do you know if he has birthmarks on his butt?”

Olivia spat the vodka she was drinking, hearing that question.

”I'm sorry if that was too much. I was embarrassed to ask Will about it so I thought I could… Oh, it's so embarrassing I'm sorry,” Brione whispered with a red face.
