Mated to the Alpha triplets

Chapter 25. The Field trip 4

Olivia

“What do you mean she is not on the bus, Lucien?” Mrs Pearson asked.

“We came out together but she is not here,” Lucien replied.

We all turned to look at ourselves as if we would find her seated beside one of us. Mr Scott alighted from the bus. He instructed Mrs Pearson to stay with the rest of us while he went to look for Helen. The triplets followed him worriedly. I scoffed inwardly and crossed my arms where I was seated.

"Where did she go off to?" Josh asked from beside me.

"How would I know? She's probably hiding somewhere knowing the triplets would be worried."

"So cynical of you."

"I'm not being cynical, I'm being practical. Helen is a master of games and manipulation."

He tsked at me and I ignored him.

She's doing all this just for attention from the triplets, how pathetic. I thought to myself.

I knew she wanted all the attention on her after what Lucas had done on my behalf. Just then Mrs Pearson called my name. I looked at her surprisingly, she called on Tina and another girl, Trisha and asked us to join in the search for Helen.

We all grumbled. “Ma, Helen is not a baby, she will be here soon and also we have four people searching for her already,” I said.

Everyone looked at me and started gossiping. I heard a girl behind me talking, “How can she be selfish, we waited for her earlier when she went to pee and now she can’t help her friend out.”

I flushed with embarrassment. Fighting with Helen or trying to make people see her true colors always ends up with me looking like the villain.

Mrs Pearson told everyone to keep quiet before turning to me “Olivia, Helen is not a baby, but we are on a trip. Anybody can lose his or her way around here. And I asked you girls to go search for her as well because the males won't be able to search in places like the women's bathrooms.”

Tina raised her eyebrows at me before alighting the bus. Josh patted my arm and I reluctantly got off the bus.

How on earth did I even end up in this mess? Why will Mrs Pearson call me to search for Helen and together with Tina at that?

Tina turned to me and Trisha, “I don’t need to tell you that we need to search for Helen in different directions, do I? I will go with Trisha, Olivia. I’m sure you can look for Helen alone.”

She drew Trisha closer and without waiting for my response, they headed off in opposite directions whispering to each other.

“Hmm, so her name is Trisha,” I muttered.

I was glad Tina offered to walk with Trisha. I heaved a sigh of relief before I walked off in the direction of the building. I went into the lobby and glanced around the room. I sighed when I didn't

see the creepy tour guide. I smiled and waved to the receptionist, pointing to the student tag I had around my neck, before heading off in the direction of where we had begun our tour. As I went around a corner, I bumped into a warm, hard chest and looked up to see that it was Lucas.

“What are you doing here, Olivia?” He asked angrily.

“Aren’t you supposed to be on the bus?” He added.

“Mrs Pearson asked us to help you guys in search of Olivia,” I replied.

"You alone? He growled.

I unconsciously took a step back and watched fascinated, as he clenched his jaw and glared at me.

"N…no. Tina and Trisha are also looking for her…somewhere."

“You should be careful not to bump into the tour guide or better still you should head back into the bus. We will search for her.” He said.

“Helen is my friend too, Lucas... well kinda." I tossed my hair back, choosing to ignore the way his mouth tilted up on one side. "Anyways, joining in the search will make things easier as you guys can’t get into the female bathroom.”

“Okay, but you should be careful.” He said as he walked off.

I stood there, confused. I couldn't figure out if he was trying to protect me or not. I remained still staring after him as he walked off, until a voice jolted me out of my daze.

“Are you supposed to be flirting right now, Olivia?”

She must have seen me talking to Lucas. I turned to her and gave her a cold glare before walking off in the opposite direction. I was certain she had also been sitting idle somewhere dumping the search on Trisha.

I went to the female bathroom to check if Helen was there. I couldn’t find her. I called out her name but she was nowhere to be found.

“Where the hell is this scheming bitch?” I muttered angrily and immediately flushed as the words came out of my mouth. I hated the way I had always reverted to the worst version of myself whenever I was involved with Helen.

I was so frustrated and then I saw the stairs leading to the manager’s office. I sat down at the entrance of the stairs.

My phone beeped and it was Josh.

“Any progress with the search?” He asked.

“No,” I replied with a sad emoji.

“Fuck, everyone's getting antsy and some students are already talking about the rogues kidnapping Helen. Anyways, good luck.” He said.

I sent him a thumbs up before locking and putting it back in the back pocket of my jeans. I placed my head on my arms feeling tired.

Then I heard a voice coming from upstairs. It was Helen. She sounded angry and seemed to be yelling at someone.

Seriously, we're out here losing our minds searching for her and she's up there yelling on her phone?

I followed her voice and then it came from one of the offices. A tag saying Restricted to unauthorized persons was hung on the door. I moved closer to the door, but I didn't hear anything else.

Why would Helen be here? I must have misheard her.

I turned back to leave to avoid being seen when I heard her voice again. This time, it was loud and clear.

I stood in my eyes and looked through the peephole. I saw her yelling at the tour guide. He was also yelling back at her.

“I need you to tell me the truth. You like Olivia right?” Helen yelled out again.

“How many times do you want me to say no?! She only looked like my ex-wife as I said earlier.” The tour guide yelled back at her. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

This girl must be joking. Everyone is in panic mode because she is nowhere to be found and here she is screaming at the top of her lungs… and over something stupid. What does she even think she'll get out of this?

I was furious and I tried to push the door open, but it was locked. They both immediately fell silent.

"Who's there?" Helen snapped.

"It's Olivia. Open the goddamn door, Helen! Everyone's been looking for you and you're here doing God knows what. Open this door right now, or I'll…"

“What the hell are you doing here?! Get out of here right now!” She yelled out again.

“What? Open this door right now. I know you guys are talking about me. So get out now.” I snapped back.

“Olivia, what are you doing over there? Come down now before you get in trouble.” Mr Scott shouted. He was with the triplets, Tina, and Trisha.

“Helen is in here with the tour guide, but they won’t open the door,” I shouted.

“What?” He said as they all stomped up the stairs.

“What is she doing there with the tour guide and why won’t she open the door?” Lucas asked me.

“I don’t know, I heard them yelling at each other while mentioning my name,” I replied.

Mr Scott moved closer to the door and tried to open it. Seeing it was locked, he put his eyes to the peephole.

“Olivia, the room is silent and nobody is in. Are you sure about what you just said?” He asked.

“I’m sure they are in there,” I replied.

Just then the door was opened and Helen came out with a puffy face. She looked like she had been crying. Her clothes were disheveled and so was her hair.

Trisha and Tina gasped comically like they were in a soap opera. Lucas strode past them and pulled her into his arms.

“What happened? Are you okay?” Lucas asked her.

“Where is the tour guide? He was there with you.” I asked.

“And why are you like this? You looked fine a few minutes ago in there.” I added.

“Shut up, Olivia!” Lucas yelled at me. “Helen, what the hell happened in there?” He asked as he looked down at her in a way that made my wolf whine.

I rubbed my chest in shock, I rarely felt my wolf.

“I was sexually harassed by the tour guide,” Helen said, crying.

“What?!”
