Chapter 123 - Actress Turned Prostitute

She mumbled in between her breath, as she let out a tired sigh. Nothing could make her feel anything except emptiness in her own body.

The scenes she earlier witnessed were enough to send her in a state of shock.

Subconsciously, her hand moved towards her heart to clutch it tightly. 'Cmon Olivia, you know that he can't change yet you expected something..'

It was hard to convince yourself of something which seems unrealistic. The oath was simply shattered into thin pieces. It wasn't only tough to pick the fragments of her smashed trust but she had to gear up herself.

The images of the two of them, Seren and Lucas, were freshly printed in her mind, 'Gosh..what have I even seen for now.. yuck..' she can't believe her own eyes.

At this point, she kept her head against her stretched hand. It wasn't how she is. But the circumstances around her constantly reminded her about what her mission was.

"I can't just compromise my mission for this bastard.." mumbling to herself, she convinced her heart to not get that affected by whatever she saw just now.

Instead, just normalize with the current scenario since she wasn't the only one who aims for the position in Lucas's family.

At this rate, she knew nothing would change but all that she will need to do is to change her own perspective towards Lucas otherwise, breaking her own heart wasn't that hard.

After a few minutes, the door of his cabin was opened when Lucas stepped outside to see Olivia, sitting in one corner with her face down. Deep in thoughts of her own, he didn't have thought that the scene inside might have disturbed her mentally.

"Olivia, you could have knocked before you came.." he spoke back in his calm tone, not sounding even a bit guilty.

Hearing his voice, she turned around to look at his face and his appearance which was as usual, except for the wrinkles on his suit.

'Can anyone even predict that he had a makeout with an actress inside the cabin?' her thoughts traveled back to the time when he used to leave her alone after having sex with her and guess what? He did the same with Seren as well...

"I'm sorry, I had important work to discuss. Didn't know that the girl showed up at your cabin and..you both were in the middle of something."

"It's alright now. We are done." Olivia passed him a look but he was too lazy to take notice of it. Shifting the topic to another conversation, he replied back, "What was the important work that you were talking about?"

"Well..they are.." Olivia picked the file on the ground which slipped from her hands when she was too much absorbed in front of the scene.

Handing it back to Lucas in his hand, "I needed you to sign here. Also, we had an important meeting but I believe...it will be needed to be postponed now. Reaching there anymore is almost impossible."

"Hmm...Cancel it and shift the timings. I have to go back to my house." It's not like she was surprised either. It was in her ears that he will talk with Johnsons to negotiate terms and conditions that they have kept forward and internally, she was looking forward to knowing about them.

Adjusting her expressions, although her heart wasn't ready to be closer to this man yet some things are beyond the feelings. "Oh, you talked with the Johnsons?

"I did and had to answer back and discuss the same with my grandfather and mother. They are adamant about their demand and...I believe it impossible to get favors from them.'' She understood his concern as well. Probably because Johnsons are just like Smiths, both have a high ego, to begin with.

No one must be ready to step back and accept the defeat. Rather, she believed that not every day Johnsons gets the chance to threaten the great Lucas. "So...if you want...I mean.. can me with you? I haven't met your mother for long.."

Olivia asked in a magic glance. Going to his parent's house was her right, and she wished to learn more since her people at the back end were demanding to know the information too.

What shall she reply back to them when there is literally nothing in her hands?

Noticing Lucas's face, she can witness that he was in dazed and deep thoughts. Her question confused him to think whether she was allowed or not. 'I know everything about your and the current situation. What can you possibility is hidden from me?'

He might fuck everybody but his people are limited. Most importantly, she is counted among those people.

"Lucas?" Olivia's words pulled him back to reality when he saw her waiting for his answer. Tugging his hand in his pocket, Lucas slowly nodded his head. "You may come. I will be down, come fast after closing your work.... until then, I will talk with some clients.."

A bright smile suddenly appeared on Olivia's face after he replied to her. Though no one can remove the hatred and anger she felt towards him for getting intimate with Seren, but keeping her fury aide, some things are to be done for professional work too

"Alright! I will be there in a few minutes. You go ahead."

With this, Lucas walked off the place, when Olivia stood there looking at his back. Her eyes slightly narrowed when a smirk landed on her face

'So fool. Do you think that I will simply be interested to know about your worry and support you without any reason?' he was the dumbest fool to believe that her loyalty comes for free.

At the same time, Seren appeared at the same place when she exited the cabin, did her eyes fell on Olivia, Lucas's secretary who is looking at Lucas' back with wicked eyes. "You girl, who are you even looking with your dirty gaze?" Seren asked with the most arrogant voice.

Olivia turned her face in her direction, "Oh, so I hear that you have started prostitute work along with acting? I never expected that from your side..."
