Chapter 90_ Bad thoughts
Olivia returned back to her small office still thinking about what Rihanna just said about Damien being impotent, that didn’t seem to be the case that night seven years ago..
She sneaked a glance at his side profile, he was deeply engrossed in the conversation he was having over the phone and when he felt the gaze on him, he turned to her direction offering her a small smile which she surprisingly returned back absentmindedly..
She took in deep breaths to calm herself down, this had nothing to do with her right?
It’s not like they’ll progress further than this in their relationship..
With that unsettling thought in mind, she resumed working on her PC..

Sandy was all smiles when she opened the door, that was because Xander was here too, she stepped aside for the three to step in..
“Xander it’s good that you stopped by Cassie just arrived..”
Bianca huffed loudly as she walked past Sandy with Kelvin clutching onto her like a second skin..
Cassie strolled out of the kitchen with an apron over her sky blue top and black jean pants, her hair was tied into a loose bun with some strands falling here and there which made her look way younger than her actual age..
“Baby you’re back.. and oh you also came along with Xander”NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
Xander walked to Cassie with the two bags filled with some groceries..
She immediately snatched it away from his hand, her eyes fell on Bianca’s blank face..
“Do you want to hurt his hands? you could have carried it yourself”
Bianca rolled her eyes hard at her mum, since he wanted to be her second skin then he should be ready to do multiple tasks..
“That’s not a problem Mrs Greg I was the one who persuaded her, we just made up and I don’t want anything to ruin our relationship once more”
Bianca snapped her head to Xander who was all smiles lying through his teeth to her mum…
“Really?! that’s good news! I’m making lunch don’t leave yet, just make yourself comfortable”
“Ahhh don’t worry about making lunch for him.. I’d like to do it myself, I’ve been a jerk all along to see that he really cared so much about me..” Bianca interjected shocking everyone..
Xander arched a brow, this just got even more weird, but he smiled brightly either way..
“Sure! if that’s what you want.. who am I to stop two love birds?” She teased..
Bianca met Xander’s gaze with a meaningful smile which the latter found scary..

A soft knock came on the door before the knob was twisted open, a hard boot hitting the floor was heard gaining Alexa’s attention..
She snapped her head to her side to see a tall figure, the young man stood tall at around 6 feet 1 inch with a lean and athletic build..
His facial features were chiseled and refined with high cheekbones, a strong jawline, and piercing jade green eyes that seem to see right through her soul.
His dark hair was stylishly messy, framing his face and accentuating his blank expression..
Alexa stood on her feet gulping the huge spitball down her throat, she blinked back her eyes just to be sure that she wasn’t imagining things this time..
“Lazing around?” his deep and manly voice made her shudder, she felt goosebumps sprouting up on her skin..
He stared around the mini living room with a blank look..
“I’m.. so.. rry.. you are?” She questioned with a stutter, her mind seemed to go blank as soon as he had appeared from nowhere..
Was this how the poor people lived? some random people can just show up at your apartment and roam around freely in your room without seeking your permission?..
He didn’t answer her question outrightly, instead he walked to the duster which she threw away half an hour ago and picked it up..
Another slow footstep approached the door before Grandma Jade walked into the room, It took Alexa only a second to understand everything..
“There you are Hardin! I thought you went into the wrong flat”
The young man who was addressed as Hardin approached Grandma Jade..
“I told you that I can handle things over here.. why did you come all the way up here?” he questioned with a small frown etched on his forehead..
At the background stood a dazed Alexa, grandma? that explains everything, it clearly runs in their blood to just walk into anyone’s home any time they wanted..
“I had to come.. this child is very ill mannered and spoilt! so I came to check if she was giving you a hard time.. I definitely know how to straighten her up!” She protested raising her stick up a little which made Alexa take a step back..
Hardin held down his grand mother’s walking stick..
“I’ll take care of her.. go back and have a rest alright?”
Grandma Jade gave a nod and turned around leaving the room not without huffing..
“Geez oldie” Alexa murmured which didn’t miss Hardin’s hearing, he snapped his head to her sharply..
He threw the duster he was holding down to her feet..
“Go on.. pick it up and clean this place”
Alexa’s brows snapped up, just who the hell did he think he was to order her around? just because he was tall and breathtakingly handsome?!
“What?” she whispered inaudibly..
“As you know my grandma is too old to deal with a pain in the butt.. I’ll help her out, start cleaning.. there’s a lot of work to do young lady”
She crossed her arm beneath her bossom with an amused expression on her face, he was eye catching no doubt..
“And what if I don’t?!” She questioned bravely swiping her hair back dramatically..
A sly smirk played at the corners of his thin lips while he took slow steps closer to her..
“I have my ways Miss Sterling.. You have no idea of what I’m capable of doing..”
Alexa’s brow arched, so they knew that she was a Sterling and they dared to try sh*t with her?!

Kelvin sat next to Xander who was skimming through his phone, he wondered if the latter knew about the oncoming danger..
“Uncle.. you know my aunt isn’t going to go easy on you.. why don’t you go now and save yourself from her anger”
Xander pulled his attention to Kelvin, he ruffled the kid’s hair with a little smile tugging at the corner of his lips..
“You shouldn’t be thinking so much for your age.. don’t you have toys or friends to play with?”
Kelvin moved farther away from Xander on the couch just Incase his aunt decided to hurl the bottle of hot sauce she was gripping onto tightly at Xander..
At the same time, Xander met her gaze through the opened kitchen, she surprisingly had a sweet smile on her face..
Now he saw understood what Kelvin meant, he just hoped that she doesn’t poison his food..
To capture this once in a lifetime moment, he took a quick pic of her..
Meanwhile….
Olivia sipped her fruit punch slowly while peering at Damien who was giving some instructions to Bella..
As soon as the latter left his office, Damien stood up from his seat, he snapped his head to her but it was too late to pull her eyes away since he caught her staring..
He gestured for her to come to him, she moved her wooden chair backwards and stood up..
When she was before him, he reached his hand out to her hair after which he pulled out a small piece of paper..
Her mind suddenly drifted back to what Rihanna said at the restroom earlier today..
Her curious eyes roamed away from his face to below his belt..
Damien noticed where her eyes was fixated at, he inhaled sharply, her stare was just enough to cause a weird sensation in his body..
“What bad thoughts are you suddenly having Olivia?”
Olivia snapped out of her daze and returned her attention back to his face, she didn’t fail to see the teasing smile he had on his lips..
Her throat went dry looking for a suitable excusable sentence..
“What.. do you mean by that? I was wondering how you had the same belt as Kelvin..” She lied blatantly..
Damien raised a brow, he felt that wasn’t the case, he placed a finger under her jaw pulling her face upward to stare into her warm eyes..
“Why do I feel like you have some naughty thoughts up in your head?”
