Chapter 174: Now Alexander Knows to Tell on Me
While Olivia was munching on hotdogs with Jared, she suddenly received a phone call from Alexander. Upon seeing Alexanderโs name on the screen, Olivia was surprised. โIs hell freezing over?โ she thought to herself. โOr is it about to rain red?โ Alexander calling her? How very unusual.
โHello?โ Olivia casually answered the call as she bit into her hotdog.
โCome to the Devinly Hotel right now,โ Alexanderโs deep voice sounded from the phone.
To which Olivia reflexively replied, โNot happening. Why should I?โ
โHave you forgotten what day it is?โ There was a hint of danger in Alexanderโs voice.
โWhat day is it?โ Olivia said nonchalantly.
Alexander fell silent.
โOlivia, itโs Valentineโs Day today,โ Jared whispered to her.
โOh, Valentineโs Day, huhโฆโ Olivia panicked a little when the realization finally hit. Valentineโs Day?
โYou finally remembered?โ Alexanderโs cold voice echoed in Oliviaโs ear.
Olivia blinked in disbelief, and said, โYouโฆ Donโt tell me youโre really there?โ No way! The always busy Alexander has really gone to the hotel?
โWhat do you think?โ
Olivia was silent, unable to come up with a good reply.
โWhoโs the one reminding me about this every day?โ Alexanderโs cold voice sounded.
Olivia was too embarrassed to say anything. It was her, indeed. However, she had never intended to show up at the hotel. She had only done that to get in Georginaโs way. Her daily act of reminding him about Valentineโs Day was simply to stop Georgina from stirring up trouble.
โUm, Iโm already almost full, how about you eat on your own?โ Olivia said as she took another bite of her hotdog.
There was no way she was going to meet him at the hotel. Alexander said nothing. He simply hung up. Olivia felt no guilt for ghosting Alexander. After all, neither of them was romantically interested in each other. So why bother spending Valentineโs Day together?
However, just when Olivia was finally full and ready to pay for the meal, her phone started ringing. This time, displayed on her screen was Liamโs name. Olivia answered the call.
โHello, grandpa?โ
Liamโs voice sounded, โLivi, why arenโt you spending Valentineโs Day with Alexander?โ
Olivia was speechless. What the hell? Whatโs going on?
โLivi, I know that Alexander has done plenty of unacceptable things in the past, but I will teach him a good lesson. Donโt you think too much about it. Please donโt spend Valentineโs Day with some other guy just to get back at himโฆโ Liamโs words seemed to be hinting at something. โHe has even carefully planned it all out this time. He has made reservations at the Devinly Hotel, and is waiting to spend Valentineโs Day with you.โ
Olivia was shocked. How did Liam know that she was having dinner with someone else? Hang onโฆ How did grandpa know that Alexander has made reservations at the hotel? It immediately struck her. That Alexander actually went to grandpa to tell on me! She was the one who would usually use Liamโs name to threaten them, yet now she had unexpectedly fallen victim to her own medicine!
โOh, Iโm getting old now, and all I wish is for you young ones to be together in peace,โ Liam sighed.
The corners of Oliviaโs lips twitched. She had never imagined that Alexander would do such a thing! You bloody copycat! You bastard!
โGrandpa, you misunderstand. Iโm not doing anything to get back at him. Iโm just having a discussion with a friend over a meal. Iโll make my way to Alexander right away,โ Olivia said casually, in order to not upset Liam.
Hearing those words from Olivia put Liamโs heart at ease. โThatโs good, thatโs good. Iโll leave you two to yourselves then. This is your first time spending Valentineโs Day with him. Remember to take more pictures; Iโd like to see how you two are celebrating.โ
Olivia responded positively to all of his words, but deep down she was cursing at Alexander viciously. The call ended. Olivia inhaled deeply, bid Jared goodbye, then got into her car and sped off to the Devinly Hotel. What on earth is Alexander up to?
