Nanny and the Alpha Daddy

#Chapter 179: Discovering the Truth

A little while later, after walking a few blocks through the city, I arrived at the coffee shop where Olivia and I planned to meet. It was a small, nondescript coffee shop that didn’t appear to be well known, which would be helpful in keeping our meeting secret.

When I stepped into the little coffee shop, I looked around and didn’t see Olivia yet.

“Can I get you anything?” the barista behind the counter, a bored-looking teenage girl, asked.

“U-Um, just an iced latte,” I replied, fishing through my purse for my wallet. The barista lazily made my drink and handed it to me, and I gave her the money before sitting down. I made sure to sit away from the window, just in case anyone would see me with Olivia.

A few minutes passed, and finally the bell on the door rang as someone came in. It was Olivia. She shot me a stiff smile and ordered her own coffee before sitting down across from me. Although we had planned to act nonchalant, as though we were just old friends meeting up to chat, I found it difficult to feel natural as I sat across from the spitting image of Ella. She seemed to look even more like Ella now, with her hair pulled back in a slightly messy ponytail, and she was wearing a plain shirt and jeans. I could see why Edrick would have liked Olivia, but it was all the more confusing knowing that he had claimed that she was dead.

“How is everything going?” Olivia asked, keeping her voice low.

“Um…” I didn’t know where to begin. Already, I could feel my voice beginning to shake. Olivia, somehow noticing this, smiled and reached across the table to give my arm a squeeze.

“Is he hurting you?”

I shook my head vigorously. “No. He’s been… He’s been wonderful. On the outside, at least. But I’ve been feeling as though he’s up to something and I don’t know what.”

She didn’t seem surprised in the slightest.
