Alexander then slid his arm around my shoulders, and I automatically rxed into his side. “Don’t contact her again,” he growled at Ethan, then turned to Chole. “If I ever find out that you’ve tried to hurt her again, there will be major consequences.”
Alexander led me away, and I yed along. “You came just in time,” I said. “I’m so happy that I have you. Being with Ethan was like being trapped in a horrible prison. When I’m with you, every day is paradise.”
Alexander smiled down at me, then helped me into the passenger seat of his car. We left Ethan and Chole standing there, staring after us with shock and anger evident on their faces.
“I can’t believe Chole tried to run you over with her car,” Alexander muttered as he drove down the busy road. “Why were you and Ava at the police station in the first ce?”
“I was writing a letter of understanding for Chole,” I said truthfully. “Because of her increased erratic behavior, I thought that was the safest option to keep my family and Ava safe.”
Alexander patted my thigh, making my stomach swoop. Then, he nodded in understanding. “You made the right decision, Olivia. Choosing to bow out of a battle isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s a sign of intelligence. Karma will eventually bring those two down. Justice and truth always prevails.”
His reassurance made me feel like I was making the right decision, and I rxed back into hisfortable seat.
“Thank you for saying that,” I told him as my heart warmed. “It means

a lot to me. <b>I </b>really do trust you, Alexander.”
A wide grin crossed his face, and he wrapped his arm around my shoulders as he continued to drive.
We were quiet for a few moments as he drove us to the office. As we neared work, I gently took his arm off of my shoulders even though I still desired his warmth.
“Can you drop me off at the curb a little ways away from the office?” I asked. “I want to avoid gossip. I don’t think it would be a good look for us to arrive together.”
He frowned and shook his head no. “Don’t be silly,” he said as he drove into the parking garage.
I sighed. I should have known that he wouldn’t listen to me on this. He was far too stubborn.
After he turned off the car, I grabbed my purse and climbed out.
At the same time, a man was getting out of the car beside me. My face flushed when I saw who it was..
Korbin, ourpany’s vice president.
Damn it!
This was the kind of thing I was trying to avoid. Why couldn’t Alexander just listen to me for once?
Korbin’s eyes widened when he saw that I had just exited Alexander’s car. Thankfully, he didn’tment on it.
That was until the three of us stepped onto the elevator.
“So, are you guys carpooling to work now?” Korbin asked us as his lips

I took a step away from Alexander so that the vice president wouldn’t get the wrong idea. I was just about to exin that we lived close by, and that was why he had driven me to work, but Alexander opened his mouth to reply before I could.
“Do we need to report living together to you, Korbin?” Alexander asked in a dry tone. “Is there some paperwork that we need to sign?”
My head whipped up to look at Alexander as shock washed over me.
What kind of game was he ying?
