Watch Me Win, Alpha

Chapter 226

*Olivia*

Ethan and Alexander glared at each other from across the table as if they were participating in an old–fashioned western standoff. I rolled my eyes because I could practically see the testosterone wafting off of them.

Then, without another word, Ethan got up from the table and left the restaurant, completely ignoring the tea our server had just brought him.

Once I watched him leave the restaurant, I sighed in relief and collapsed back into my seat. My back was cold from the sweat that had dried during my time with my ex–husband. It seemed like Ethan was becoming more unhinged than usual. When we were married, he was overbearing and domineering, but he wasn’t crazy. Had his time with Chloe driven him off the deep end? Apprehension filled me when I imagined my future encounters with him.

As I contemplated this, I assumed that Alexander would leave, too, but he actually got our server’s attention. I noticed that her eyes widened when she saw that I was sitting with a different man now–especially since Ethan had lied and said that he was my husband–but she thankfully didn’t comment.

“Can we please have two bacon and cheese omelets with a side of fresh fruit and two iced vanilla latte’s?” he asked and set down his cup of tea. “I think we are going to need something stronger than our tea.”

After the server left, I gazed at Alexander gratefully. “Thank you,” I murmured.
