Chapter 13

Olivia’s POV

Rose was already at the driving range when I arrived. She looked like she always did: energetic and glowing in her pale yellow golf dress. Her long, curly hair fell around her shoulders.

She eyed me from head to toe and let out a sigh. “Liv, you’re not dressed sexy enough,” she said, frowning a bit.

I let out a small laugh. “Rose, I’m here to find a job.”

I didn’t think there was anything wrong with what I was wearing. Just plain sportswear, light makeup, and my hair tied up in a ponytail. Nothing fancy. Nothing too eye-catching.

Rose crossed her arms. “Honey, men are visual creatures,” she said with a knowing look.

I shook my head. “If Alexander just wanted a pretty face for a secretary, that job wouldn’t still be vacant.”

She made a face at me. “You’re missing the point,” she teased. She reached out and poked my arm lightly. “Pretty and capable- you can be both.”

I smiled at her. “Fine, fine. I get it.”

Rose grinned, clearly satisfied. “Good,” she said. “Lucky for you, I brought an extra set of clothes. We’re about the same size. You’re going to wear it.”

Before I could argue, she grabbed my arm and tugged me toward the locker room.

I followed her without fuss. After all, I was relying on Rose to introduce me to Alexander. I couldn’t start off by ig- noring her advice.
