Mummy, Daddy is on his knees

Olivia raised her head gently when the strong male cologne reached her nose..

She was surprised to see Damien leaning on his side by the corridor, his arms were folded on his chest and a small smirk crept up on his lips..

She creased her brows wondering what he wanted..

“What do you want?!” she lashed out at him showing her displeasure with his uncalled presence..

Damien peeped at his wrist watch and settled his gaze back on her..

“I was just surprised, you’ve been working for four hours straight without causing any trouble and my company isn’t on fire which makes me extremely worried, what are you up to?”

Olivia’s lips parted in disbelief, what was wrong with him exactly? what does he really want from her?

“Is this one of the ways you show your boredom? I mean if you’re bored and have nothing to do, you can offer to help me”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Damien’s smirk vanished from his lips, he pointed a finger at her..

“In your dreams! come over, there’s something I need you to do for me”

The hold around her pen tightened as she glared icy cold daggers at him, now he was finding ways just to bully her like other times..

She he stood up from her seat and walked past him, hitting her shoulder against his arm in the process, he shook his head slowly and walked behind her..

Alexa engulfed Rihanna into a soothing embrace when she couldn’t take her bestie’s heart breaking cries again..

“Please don’t cry anymore.. I know there’s a way we can fix this, my brother is such a jerk!”

Rihanna pulled back from Alexa wiping her face with a tissue..

“This isn’t his fault, we’ve been good all these while until that good for nothing lady came along with her son! I hate her!” She choked out amidst the tears that stained her cheeks..

Alexa took in a deep breath and stood up to her feet, Rihanna might be able to let this slide by crying her eyes out and accepting defeat..

Her brother has made a huge mistake by choosing Olivia and her son over his five years long relationship with Rihanna.

“Will you quit whining? if you had been wise enough, that stupid lady wouldn’t even be in the picture in the first place!”

Rihanna looked up at Alexa in surprise, how was this her fault? wasn’t it her brother who messed this up? why scolding her?

“Are you seriously going to pin this up on me?”

Alexa gave a firm nod “Yes! what exactly were you doing five years ago that made him go to Olivia when he had a you as his girlfriend?”

Rihanna pulled her gaze elsewhere, she felt embarrassed talking about something like this with Alexa..

Maybe she wasn’t just good enough for him, but whatever it was, the truth still remained the same, Damien really broke up with her..

“What could I have done? whenever I try to touch him, he repel from me, sometimes I even wondered if he was impotent!”

Alexa’s pupils dilated as she heard Rihanna’s last words, if this hadn’t been her friend, a slap might have been sent to her face by now..

“Stop giving excuses, she has been here for only a week and yet she was able to get Damien and wrap him around her finger and on the other hand we have you, who is sulking and crying”

Rihanna flushed in embarrassment, she was far too heart broken to be scolded again..

“Do you have any ideas?”

Alexa swiped her hair backwards and gave a nod to the question..

“Yeah I do, freshen up quickly and stop crying, seriously, it’s starting to get really annoying”

Olivia followed Damien’s finger and it landed on a shelf few metres away from her..

She returned her gaze back to him with a glare “What do you want?”

Damien opened a file pretending to go through it,” There’s a blueprint on the first shelf, get it down”

Olivia nodded forcefully resisting the urge to rush up to him and smack him on the head, she turned around to the huge shelf. A gasp escaped her lips at the height and did he also say the first shelf?

“I can’t reach up there, you’re way more taller than I am.. I’m sure you can reach it with ease..”

Damien peered at her from the file on his hand “well if I were to go get it, that means I failed hard as a boss!”

Olivia’s brows drew together at his irregular thinking, she really needed to smack him hard for spurting out such nonsense!

Luckily for her, she spotted a stool by the side of the shelf and climbed on it..

She wobbled slowly on the unstable stool, she heard small laughs and snapped her gaze to Damien who was deeply engrossed in the file he was reading..

“Jerk!” she mumbled under her breath..

Damien pulled out his phone as he took a video of her wobbling and shaking on the stool, he really didn’t look like he cared if she falls..

She stood on her toes to get the blueprint that was poking out from the shelf, just when her fingers has grazed on it, the stool wobbled and she lost her balance..

“Arrghhh”

That was the loud shriek heard before she landed on her butt with a groan, the blueprint fell out of the shelf and striked her head adding to her misery..

Damien’s eyes widened, he stood up from his seat in a swift and ran up to her..

“What were you thinking?” his voice came at her and for a moment there she thought he had a conscience until he picked the blueprint next to her examining it..

“That’s a relief! nothing happened to it!” he exclaimed and turned around to leave for his seat when her voice rang into his ears..

“Well do you have any idea that I’m still on the ground?!”

Damien faced her once more with an arched brow..

“So?” came his short and hurried reply..

So? that was really his question right now? she was sure that her butt was broken and all he cared about was a stupid blueprint!

She slowly stood up from the ground wincing in pain, she held her buttocks with both hands as she glared furiously at him..

“I could have died!”

“Well you didn’t and you look fine to me too”

Olivia’s lips hung open in disbelief “Fine? but my butt hurts!… pretty bad! and all you care about is that stupid paper?!”

Damien’s demeanor changed into a worried one which was obviously feigned, he walked closer to her and turned her back against him..

“Point out the most painful part, I’ll give it a masage ”

Olivia turned to him in surprise, was he really going to touch her lady bump if given a chance? such a shameless boss!

“Pervert! you won’t get a chance”

Damien’s lips curved into a smirk “I already did.. believe me you really don’t want to go down that road because you’ll be the embarrassed one… I’ll let this slide just this time”

“And oh.. I really don’t need this put it back up” he added tossing the blueprint which landed briefly on her head before falling to the ground..

Bianca giggled as she listened to Olivia’s irritated tone, she was narrating an annoying move her boss played on her..

“I’m sure he’s doing all that to get your attention, he’s cute you know?”

And just as she had expected, she pulled the phone far from her ear the moment, Olivia’s growl came out..

“Fine! just endure it a little bit longer, your mum and his mum had put in a lot of efforts to convince you both, do it for Kelvin’s sake at least”

Olivia sighed at the other end, of course who else was she doing this for other than her little prince? she wanted to give him the best life possible even if it meant that she’d have to endure Damien’s attacks..

She took a peek at him from the transparent glass where she caught him laughing at something on his phone..

“He’s having a good time laughing, while I’m sitting on a pack of ice, I really hate him”

Bianca’s brows creased when Kiara opened the door talking to someone outside…

“Umm Olivia.. I’ll call you later.. something just popped up”

Bianca murmured staring at the lady who just entered the apartment glaring hard at her..
