That was a spot everyone at my old workce used to go to a lot. It held a lot of memories for me with Ethan, but I wanted to see Breanna. I nced at Alexander and Gai. Neither had asked me if I wanted to have lunch with them.
“Sure,” I said. “I would love to have lunch with you.”
“G–great,” Breanna said, her voice much higher than usual. “I’ll see you soon, then.”
I hung up and tilted my head to the side in confusion. Breanna was acting strange.
Then, Alexander turned around, his dark eyes meeting mine. My heart skipped a beat, and my mouth dried as we stared at each other. His gaze was searching, yet expressionless.
His jaw clenched, and his eyes sparked with anger for a moment, but in an instant, it was gone. Did he have a problem with me having lunch with my former subordinate? It wasn’t like he and I had lunch ns.
As Gai, Alexander, and I walked past one of the sales guys, I heard him say my name.
“Yes, Olivia works over at the Zenith Group,” the sales guy said.
Alexander’s whole body tensed, and he red at me as the three of us stepped onto the elevator.
“You need to make sure everyone in the office knows that you don’t work there anymore,” he hissed.

I nodded, but I wanted to roll my eyes. Why was he such a control freak?
Gai looked between us and tried to lower the tension. “Don’t worry, I can make an official announcement to the office,” she assured Alexander.
?
But he didn’t say anything in response and remained quiet. I wondered why he was in such a bad mood today. I couldn’t help but feel it had something to do with me.
When the elevator doors opened, Alexander stormed out. Then, Gai and I shared a look. When we both shrugged at the same time, we grinned.
As I drove to Myst Dining, Breanna sent me a text. When I read her message, I frowned down at my phone. She said that she wanted to talk to me about something that was personal at lunch today. My stomach stiffened. I had no idea what she wanted to talk to me about. My instincts were telling me to turn back around and go back to work, but I really wanted to see Breanna, so I kept walking.
The restaurant was crowded when I got there. As I took in the familiar smell of delicious Italian food and the luxurious decor, I shifted from foot to foot. Maybe it had been a mistake toe here. This ce just held too many memories.
When I gave the hostess my name, she led me back to a private room with a red leather booth and a ck table filled with my favorite foods. There were even long white candles in the middle of the table. Why had Breanna gone to all this trouble?
Then, thest person that I wanted to see walked into the room.
Ethan–my ex–husband.

My hands clenched with anger, and I automatically backed away from him.
Breanna walked out, with her head hanging in shame.
“How could you trick me like that?” I asked her.
It was much easier to speak to her than Ethan.
“I–I’m sorry, Olivia. He made me do it.”
I crossed my arms and red at her. Her betrayal felt like a knife to the back.
“You are dismissed,” Ethan told Breanna.
She averted her eyes away from mine and left the room.
Which just left Ethan and me.
My ex–husband calmly took a seat at the table andid a cloth napkin over hisp. He gestured to the seat directly across from him.
“Please, just hear what I have to say,” he said. “I can exin everything.”
I turned my icy re on him, and my anger increased tenfold as I took in his perfectly styled hair and expensive suit. All of the ways he had wronged me floated through my mind as I looked at him. Especially since he recently begged for my forgiveness, only to knock up his mistress–Chloe–behind my back.
“The only thing that I feel for you is disgust,” I hissed at him.
Ethan winced as my words hit him like a p in the face. But I knew better than to believe his impressive show of emotions. Ethan only acted sensitive and emotional to get what he wanted. The only person

that he truly cared about was himself. He didn’t care about me or Chloe. His toxic behavior made my stomach churn.
