Watch Me Win, Alpha

Honestly, I’d completely forgotten about Chloe attempting to run me over with her car this morning after the incident with Korbin, the call with Alexander’s mother, and then accidentally stabbing my boss with a needle. What has my life turned into if the fact that my ex–husband’s mistress trying to kill me had been driven from my mind because the rest of my day had been even crazier?

“You okay, Olivia?” Ava asked tentatively when I didn’t answer her question. “Do you want to grab dinner and talk about what happened?”

I rubbed my temples. “I wish I could,” I replied. “I actually have to work late tonight. Rain check?”

I didn’t want to explain to my friend that I had to be Alexander’s dating therapist. That was too embarrassing to admit that role was actually a part of my job. What made it even worse was the only reason that Alexander wanted me to come along was because he was rebelling against his parents for setting him up even though he was a grown

man.

“Definitely,” Ava replied.

After we hung up, I sent a few more emails, then noticed that it was already six–thirty in the evening. My stomach fell as I walked to Alexander’s office. He was still hard at work, typing away at his

computer.

I crossed my arms and leaned against the doorframe. “We have an appointment with Ms. Wright in forty minutes,” I reminded him, refusing to say the word ‘date‘ out loud.
