Watch Me Win, Alpha

Chapter 8

Olivia’s POV

Friday morning, I got a call from the garage. My car was ready.

After I picked it up, I remembered something. The jacket. I had promised to dry clean it and mail it back. But now it wasn’t with me anymore, thanks to `Ethan who threw it away from the window. I was planning to give him something similar to that jacket now.

I sat in the car, holding my phone for a second. Then I called Mike.

“Hi, Mike. This is Olivia speaking. The car’s fixed. I’ll send over the bill in a bit.”

He said okay, and we hung up.

I sent him the repair list and the amount. Then I sent another message: “Also, can I get your boss’s height and mea- surements? I want to return the jacket with matching pants. It came from a set, right?”

No reply.

Maybe he needed to check.

I didn’t overthink it. I had errands.

As I turned into the next intersection, my phone rang again. Finance manager.

“Ms. Olivia, do you have a minute? There are some numbers I need you to check.”

I turned around and headed to the office.

The moment I walked into the project department, my team surrounded me.

“Ma’am, are you okay now?”

“We heard about the accident. That guy in the Maybach didn’t hurt you, right?”

I smiled faintly. “No. It’s fine. All fixed.”

I didn’t tell them I was leaving. I felt guilty. They’d be handed to a new boss soon. Someone who didn’t know how we did things and they would have to adjust to this new boss, again.
