My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back by Cheryl Moore

Chapter 139
Olivia instinctively took a step back at Vincent’s sudden approach, assuming he had ill intentions toward her.
Vincent’s movement paused at her retreat. His lips curved into a smile as amusement filled his eyes.
Awkwardness flooded Olivia as she realized she had made a fool of herself.
Fortunately, the phone rang, indicating she had received a new message.
Olivia lowered her gaze and tapped on the screen to check.
Kimberly had sent her a WhatsApp voice message. Olivia planned to listen to it later, but her finger accidentally tapped it, playing the message loudly.
Kimberly’s gentle and pleasant voice sounded. “How did it go? I’m sure the young men were awestruck with you dressed in the clothing I’ve painstakingly prepared. Don’t let me down tonight.”
When Olivia finally realized what she had done, she frantically tapped on the phone. Everyone was the same. The more panicked one was, the more clumsy they were.
When she finally muted her phone, Kimberly’s message had finished playing.
Not only did the embarrassment earlier not ease, but another wave of mortification had washed over her.
A sheepish look crossed Olivia’s face as her blush deepened. She felt a little light- headed about the situation.
Vincent walked past her and turned around, stopping abruptly in front of her. Absent- minded, Olivia accidentally bumped into him.
With a small smile, Vincent held her chin and teased, “Which young man do to seduce, dressed so beautifully?”

His tricky question caused her anxiety to flare. Olivia slapped away the hand on her jaw.
She feigned calm, but her mouth opened and closed in silence. In the end, she quickened her pace, trotting to the outdoor activity area.
Vincent touched his hand and smiled dotingly. He thought, ‘She’s quite strong despite

her looks.’
Looking at Olivia fleeing, he wasn’t in a rush to catch up to her. Instead, he stopped to watch.
He mused, ‘Judging from Olivia’s reaction earlier, I sensed that she also felt something for me but was avoiding it. I’m a hunter, however, and a persistent one at that.’
Olivia walked swiftly in her heels, occasionally looking over her shoulder.
The others were making the preparations for that day’s theme, barbecue.
Various delicacies and liquors were spread across the long tables.

A barbecue grill was set up next to them. Several colleagues diligently waited upon the
rest.
Catching the panicked look on Olivia’s face, Jaxon got up and walked over to her.
“What’s wrong, Ollie? Why are you in such a hurry?” Jaxon asked with a puzzled expression, occasionally peering in the direction she glanced.
He didn’t see anyone or anything there.
Olivia frowned and muttered, “I’m fine.”
She was taciturn toward him, not wanting to converse much.
An uncomfortable feeling welled up within Jaxon. He thought, ‘Has the girl, with a lot of chatter, become so distant to me?’
A while later, Vincent came over.
The female employees of Sullivan Group couldn’t control their excitement when he showed up.
“Oh my goodness! Mr. Sullivan is so handsome today!” A couple of love-struck women exclaimed in a group. Their gazes were fixed on Vincent.
Olivia silently observed and listened to their cheesy words. She was soon at her limits, though, for goosebumps had risen all over her skin.
However, Vincent’s gaze had followed Olivia the entire time. The minute she lifted her eyes, her
gaze would meet with his easily.
It was intentional. He knowingly waited for Olivia to look up at him.

The second their eyes met, he would flash a gentle smile at her.
After Olivia left, Vincent went back to put more effort into dressing up.

He felt challenged after hearing Kimberly’s words that Olivia intended to seduce young
men.
Jealously had reared its head inside him.
He thought, ‘Since you want to seduce younger men, I’ll be the most handsome one there!’
Vincent looked around and saw attractive men and women everywhere.
He thought, ‘As the CEO, I’ll have to change the rules of personnel recruitment in the future.’
Indeed, he was worried about the fierce competition, seeing the number of handsome men in the company.
Then, his gaze swept over Jaxon.
He always had a strange feeling that they were very much alike, apart from their personalities. Jaxon was more reserved and calm, while he was bold and extroverted.
They shared many similarities in other aspects.
Despite that, he disliked Jaxon because the latter always stared at Olivia.
At that time, he wasn’t aware that the two used to be in a relationship.
Jaxon sensed Vincent’s dislike and hostility toward him.
However, it didn’t bother him. Instead, he smiled slightly, greeting Vincent.
Jaxon’s gaze then landed on Isabella. Isabella raised her glass at him, making a toast.
They exchanged a knowing glance and smiled.
No one knew why the two, who didn’t have much contact with each other, had suddenly become friends.
After the toast, it was time for the dance.
Isabella walked toward Vincent gracefully. She proactively invited Vincent to dance the
first dance with her.
