Chapter Ten

Andrew

It feels good having Olivia by my side. I’m such an idiot for waiting so long to look for her. Seeing the way she lived, the people she shared a room with, my heart opened. So much more than it ever has before.

I’d never felt like this before.

Never have I wanted a woman so much.

We enter the limo, and Olivia grabs my hand. “Thank you.”

“You don’t need to thank me anymore. I was an idiot for taking so long to come after you. I’m sorry.”

“Why did you take so long?” She smiles and it captivates me.

I run a hand along my jaw. “Work. I’ve been having a hell of a week with Roberta.”

“Oh really? Why?” She’s cute how she angles her body to face me.

I squeeze her hand. “She’s spreading rumors about me. She’s also trying to steal my clients. Telling them awful things, and some have already considered leaving.”

“That’s horrible.” She glances out the window.

“I haven’t stopped thinking about you since you left,” I say in a still, small voice.

She turns toward me. “I haven’t stopped thinking about you either.”

I lean into kiss her, our tongues tracing along each other. I’ve missed her.

“A thought occurred to me when you mentioned Roberta stealing clients,” she says.

“Really?”

“Well, last week there was an odd phone call. From a Mr. Peters,” she starts.

“Yes, I know Paul Peters.” My mind is intrigued.

Peters has always been a friend, but maybe Roberta got to him. I haven’t spoken to him since the party.

“Yes, well he said he had some very important files for you to look over. I forwarded them to your email.”

“Hm, I don’t remember.” The fact I never saw her email concerns me. Does Roberta have my email password? Did she find these files? Is that how she’s undercut me the past week?

“Mr. Peters said you would definitely find them interesting as they were about an ex. At the time I didn’t know what he meant. I just scribbled down the message and sent the files.”

“Why didn’t he send them to me himself?”

“He didn’t say. He was being very cryptic. But, I didn’t really think much of it at the time.”

I kiss her hand. “I spent many nights at Roberta’s place. She could have access to my email easily.”

She glances down to her lap. “Well, the files should still be in your assistant’s email. I never deleted it.”

“You’re a genius.”

I press the intercom and tell Roger to head to work instead.

I want to see these files. If Peters has dirty information on Roberta this could be the thing to ruin her.

We head inside my company building, and take the elevator all the way up to my office.

Joanne’s eyes widen when we step through the doors.

“Hi, I didn’t expect to see you back today.”

“We need a file off of your computer.”

I bring up the file, and am shocked by what I see.

Peters was able to find Roberta’s company holdings, and some very shady business deals she was involved in.

I copy the files to a flash drive and call my business partner.
