chapter 45
Some time later, Olivia finally woke up and the very first thing she did was look at her phone. She hoped that her mysterious stranger had at least thought of sending her a message, but nothing at all. She even wondered if he was all right. Maybe it was strange to worry about someone you didn’t know, but she couldn’t help it unless he was respecting their farewell, although he had promised to wait until Monday. She wondered why it was impossible to call back a private number.
She left the bed and headed for the bathroom, as she’d been so tired the night before that she hadn’t had time to wash even though she’d taken a bath with her mysterious stranger at Le Bourget. When she finished, she dressed in a light dress. Her belly was hungry and she was going to have a quick breakfast.
As she stood in front of the kitchen door, she heard voices coming from there that belonged to none other than her friends. She didn’t think they were still there.
– At last Sleeping Beauty had woken up, Maggie had said.
She smiled at her. Betty’s gaze was suspicious and she tried to understand the reason for it, but it was just impossible for her to know. She began to prepare her bowl of milk when Betty ran her finger over the skin of her neck.
– Hickeys, Betty had said.
Damn! She’d almost forgotten that this man had decided to mark her skin with hickeys. She lowered her head under the latter’s mischievous smile.
– So, what’s the story, Oli? This man has marked his territory, for God’s sake, it’s obvious that you’re now his and nobody else’s, oh my! Now I understand why that cab driver looked at me the wrong way when I mentioned a foursome, he saw your hickeys and understood that you were already excluded so I had to say a threesome.
– Do you remember that?
– No, I’m the one who told him,” said Maggie.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
– Well then, Oli, please tell me what he’s like.
– That’s for later, but as for now, you’re going to have to help me find a solution, because here I am with hickeys covering my neck, and tomorrow I’m going to a company to apply for a job, for God’s sake. I really want to strangle this mysterious stranger if you knew girls.
– I think I’ve figured out why he did it. It’s so the boss won’t lay eyes on you if he’s ever a man. And what company are you applying to? Betty asked.
Olivia didn’t want to tell her at all for the sole reason that she was in love with the CEO of that company and if she ever found out she was going there, she wasn’t going to leave her alone. She looked to Maggie to save her since she’d told her about it the day before.
– I think it must be a car company. It’s time to go to the table and we’ll talk about the rest later. For your lollipops Oli, I think a little scarf will help, it’ll be a bit of a look.
She graced her with a thank-you smile and began to eat, but also, her thoughts were still directed towards this man she was already missing.
Damon had been holding his phone for a while and wasn’t sure what to do. He wanted to call Olivia to see how she was doing, but on the other hand, he didn’t want to give her too much of his time, as she was haunting him enough as it was. The next day would be Monday and he’d rather wait.
