Slowly and without warning, Olivia removed her hand from Damon’s. Damon glared at her. Damon glowered at her, but she didn’t want Stephanie to talk about what she was thinking, which certainly wasn’t true. Damon was angry and she didn’t know if it was because Stephanie was there or something else.

-This is a big restaurant, Stephanie, so may I ask why it’s only at this table that you’d like to sit?

-oh, but we’re from the same company and we could have a chat about that over lunch, I’m sure Olivia agrees, so stop being such a hard man Damon, it’s just the three of us and not a whole world.

Damon could see that his chance to tell Olivia everything had fallen through again because of the whims of that Stephanie girl. He wasn’t really hungry anymore and all he wanted to do was go back to the company, but he wanted to wait for Olivia to finish her meal first.

Looking up for the first time since Stephanie had sat down at their table, Olivia saw that she was glaring at her, but she didn’t care as long as she knew Damon wasn’t interested in her. In other circumstances, she would have decided to leave, but her meal was so good that she couldn’t see herself depriving her belly of it because of Stephanie.

-Did you see that, Damon? She’s engaged!” cried Stephanie as she took Olivia’s ringed hand.

Olivia looked up at Damon and the bitter sneer on his lips suddenly chilled her. She was now certain he would turn the table upside down if Stephanie didn’t stop her madness. She took his hand again and pushed his plate away, a sign that she’d had enough of this charade too.

-I bet you didn’t know, Damon, or you wouldn’t have asked her to lunch. But his ring is very pretty and congratulations Olivia, your fiance has very good taste.

While Olivia didn’t know how to take this compliment, a discreet smile spread across Damon’s lips. He was happy to know that he had very good taste and that everyone could appreciate the ring she was wearing, but his supposed fiancee thought he wasn’t very romantic to be able to give a woman such a thing.

-So I think you deserve a proper congratulations, Olivia. I think, with Damon’s agreement, the company could organize a small party in honor of your engagement, and you could bring your fiance.

Damon saw right through Stephanie’s plan to sell Olivia to the mob so that she’d stay away from him for fear of people talking, but he could never allow that, since she wasn’t even going to bring her “fiance”.

Olivia waited patiently for Damon to intervene on her behalf, because if he too agreed with Stephanie’s madness then she was going to go crazy. She looked at him with pleading eyes and even though he already disagreed with what Stephanie was saying, he couldn’t resist asking for help.

-No, Stephanie, it’s out of the question. My company doesn’t do weddings, and Olivia isn’t the first girl at the firm to be engaged. There have been girls before her, and you’ve never made such an offer.

-But I thought you’d like the idea Damon, I can see you’re close and I thought you’d like it.

-We are indeed close, closer even than you think,” he said, staring straight into Olivia’s eyes, which made her blush.

Having missed nothing of this intense exchange of glances, Stephanie was boiling with anger, even if she didn’t want to let anything show. She couldn’t be the first and become the last; that was unacceptable to her.

-Yes, but you’ve got to be careful Damon, she’s engaged and we all know you’re notorious for getting all your employees into bed, so I hope at least this time you won’t do the same, just out of respect for Olivia’s fiance.

Upon hearing this, Olivia paled suddenly. She knew this side of Damon well, but to hear someone say it so clearly was so disappointing. Everything had just fallen apart for Damon because of Stephanie’s foolishness. Olivia was in danger of rejecting him because of it. No longer able to control the anger emanating from him, he overturned the table and, with a sharp gesture, pulled Olivia from her chair to her frightened cries.

-That’s lunch, now let’s get back to the company.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

She couldn’t challenge the order for fear of not surviving his wrath. She thought it was the one who had provoked it who should suffer, but instead, it was her. Once outside, Damon opened the door and pushed her inside, slamming it shut with a jerk, which startled her; she’d never seen him in such a state.
