Chapter 18: Chapter Eighteen

Olivia

I am so surprised at what he just said that I am quiet. But I'm not the only one, because half the office heard what he just uttered. And half the office is not looking at the three of us. I don't know what to say your think because he just claimed me in front of the whole office. I don't blame him though, because any man who came out and found another man holding his woman possessively like Matt was holding me would do the same, I imagine.

But I can't rap my head around this whole thing, one would think that Jason planned this with his insistent of us going public, but I knew with Matt not knowing where I live anymore, he'd eventually come look for me at work. I just didn't imagine him and Jason fighting over me like this, talk about cementing the rumors to come of me being an office slut.

I suddenly felt like disappearing, if I had a super power of being invisible I'd use it in a second. I feel embarrassed and ashamed, I don't know why I feel ashamed though, because I didn't do anything wrong, but I feel it all the same.

"I knew you were cheating on me Olivia, I even told your brother. I knew you were slu.." he doesn't get to finish the word because suddenly he is on the floor. I didn't even see Jason pull back the his arm to punch him.

Jason turns to the security then and tells them to take Matt out of his building. I'm in such a haze that I don't notice Jason is pulling me outside the building until we get into the waiting car. The car starts moving, I don't even know where we're going but I'm glad he got me out of the building infront of all those people.

"Liv" I hear him call, "Olivia...baby look at me. Rudy take us to the penthouse." I'm looking at him but my mind doesn't want to register what's going on. I suddenly feel so tired, I lay my head back on the head rest and close my eyes just for a moment.

Jason

I had a business meeting I needed to attend to which is the only reason I was going out of the office, then I saw that scumbag with his hands on her and every plan that I'd had flew out the window. I didn't care if it was business or not because Matt had his hands on Olivia, I knew it was him, of course I did, I had him investigated after all. I had caught off my brother after I had cooled down that day when he called Olivia and I'd answered. But now I was rethinking my decision.

It's been a full hour since I walked into our apartment with Olivia in my hands, after she'd passed out in the car. I didn't call the doctor because I knew that this was only an adrenaline rush and she'd be ok.

Julia came home with us she ridden in the front seat with Rudy, she's busy canceling all my meetings for today and tomorrow and postponing anything that can be postponed, I know that my VP would gladly take some of my meetings especially the one of today which he's already attending right now.

I'm on the phone with my brother telling him about what happened a few hours ago and I'm still pissed. I tell him that he needs to solve Matt for me, I'd do it but I know it will go to the media, same as the punch I pulled today. He agrees to take care of it and tells me that he was going to visit in a few days. After the phone call with my brother I call Mrs Belle to come prepare power food for Olivia.

When I get back to the dining room, Julia is finishing up on her call.

"You can go home. Send me everything I need to do through my email, I will see you on Monday." I say when she is done talking on the phone.

"Yes sir, is Miss Willow going to be ok? I can stay until she wakes up to help her home?" She asks me and I wonder if she is genuinely concerned or if she is fishing for information. And I decide that if she is fishing then I'll give her a sinker and hook.

"I think I know how to take care of my woman Miss Michaelson, you can get going." I say dismissing her.

When she gets into the elevator to leave, Mrs Belle gets off. She goes straight to the kitchen to the kitchen with the plastics she is holding to put them on the counter. I turn to the bedroom, Olivia is still sleeping, it's been two hours now and I'm beginning to worry. I step into the shower and decide I'll call the doctor when I get out of the shower.

She is awake when I get out of the bathroom ten minutes later. I walk to her still with a towel wrapped around my waist and take her face in my hands. She feels hot to the skin, but she's been asleep so it's no big deal.

"How are you feeling?" I ask her.

"I feel like I didn't get enough sleep." She says, she is trying to avoid my eyes.

"You will get some more sleep after you get something to eat to boost your energy. Do you need me to call the doctor?" I ask concerned.

"No, I will be fine. Nothing some pain meds can't fix. Plus my period is supposed to be coming soon."

"Ok, let me get dressed then we'll go to the kitchen to get you something to eat while Mrs Belle prepares us food." I say then heading to the closet. I put on my black sweater pants with a long sleeved shirt and go help her to the kitchen.

I'd told Mrs Belle Olivia was not feeling well, when we get into the kitchen she dishes up some soup for her, when she asks me if I'll have some I decline asking for a sandwich I stead. I pick up the tray with our food and move us to the sitting room to eat. I'd sit in the kitchen if Olivia was the one behind the counter.

After sitting down I put the tray on my lap and pick up the spoon to feed. "Jason I'm not an invalid, my hands work just fine. I will feed myself. Thank you though." She says with a small smile on her list.

"I know that very well. Now, do you want to eat or not?" I ask her, she looks tired. Maybe I should call the doctor to come check on her after all. She complies, and I feed her until the last drop of the veggie soup. I put the tray on the table and start having my sandwich, after I'm done I head to the kitchen with the tray, when I come back, her head is on the pillow.
