"Julien hide!" Olivia whisper shouted as she pulled the frozen boy in front of her. "Hide under the desk!"
"Why?" He asked, still frozen from his spot.
"I can't move Olivia." He added.
She stood up to pull him under her desk. It was right about the time before Jace's dad turned his gaze to her desk.
She is sweating bullets; heavy beads of sweat came rolling down her forehead.
"Stop moving." She kicked the man curled up under her desk, which groaned after a couple of light kicks from her.
"I will never forget this day... that you are wearing a pink panties." Julien said cheekily that earned a hard kick on his legs from Olivia.
"Close your eyes before I poke them." She warned as she trusted the pen almost to his eyes.
After Mark, Kyle, and Jace's dad left, Leo walled over Olivia's desk with a heavy heart. "My heart nearly exploded."
This confused Olivia. "You are siding to that murderer?!" She whisper shouted.
"No! I have no time to explain. Where's Julien?" He asked as he leaned over Olivia's desk to look for Julien.
"You can come out now." Olivia rolled her eyes while crossing her legs.
"I am quite enjoying the view here."
Olivia gasped angrily. She stood up then shouted. "The only view you'll see is my foot down your throat!"
"Calm down both of you. Olivia it's not even a week since you started working and you're acting like a real jerk." Leo spat as he extended his arms to hit Julien under the desk.
She gasps again in disbelief. She can't ignore what Leo said. "Excuse me? I am the jerk now?"
Both of the men nodded.
"Well fine! I quit this stressful job then. I don't need dorks as my bosses." She harshly removed her badge and the floral silk around her neck, then threw it to Leo.
Leo stared at her in panic when he realizes what he's done. No words are coming out of his mouth. He watched Olivia march to the staff room with anger visible even if she was only walking. "Julien, you dick."
"Me?! It was you who said that. You deserve that shit, now you have to deal all of Jace's alter again. God, I hate you." Julien said in one go as he crawled out under the desk then walked out.
"Why does everyone likes to walk out?" He asked himself. He looked at the main desk where Leo's bashers, or so they called, shook their head in disappointment after watching what happened.
"Loser." Ruby mouthed to Leo
.
Leo huffed in anger as he turned around. "Why do I let my employees step on me─ The owner!"
────
"Olivia don't go!" Leo pleaded in front of Olivia, who's now done changing her clothes.
No reply was heard.
Leo rubbed both of his palms together and is now on his knees while begging Olivia desperately. "I'm sorry. It's just a stressful day."
"Okay, bye." She walked past the pleading man with no guilt waving on her conscience. "I hope you find a none jerk employee."
Olivia closed the door with a loud bang that made Leo stand up and run after her. He grabbed her wrist, but she swatted it away. "I'll do anything."
She stopped in her tracks when he heard Leo say that. "Anything?" Her brows raised.
"Well, except Jace's past."
Olivia glared at him then continued walking. She totally knew how to break Leo into crumbs and play with him on her palms.
"Fine! I'll tell everything I know. Just don't leave." He sighed in defeat.
"Still not convincing... bye." Another wave of sigh was heard from Leo as he watched Olivia ramped on his hotel floor with confidence and a smirk.
─────
At the front of the hotel, before the entrance, there stood Julien with sunglasses on. When he spotted Olivia walking out, he whistled, and that caught her attention.
She is wearing sunglasses too.
"Did it work?" Julien asked as he took a bite on a piece of sushi.
Olivia smirked in return with a small laugh. "You bet it did."
Olivia and Jace's alters agreed to become a duo to know what really happened to Jace's mom and why he had an accident. It's amazing how a single alter remembers it all, and some doesn't.
Julien lends the sushi. He took a bite on the sushi first, and she gladly ate it without any second thoughts. "I think you should go back inside and continue our plan."
Olivia nodded while chewing.
"You're not that hungry are you?" Julien said sarcastically.
"I'm not hungry, but free food is good food."
After eating, she retouched her lipstick with the help of Julien's, who decided to be Olivia's mirror. What they didn't know is a large crowd of people is staring at them.
"What a cute couple!"
"He gives me a french-like vibes..."
"She's so lucky!"
Olivia rolled her eyes from the compliments Julien got. "I'm going back inside."
Without any other words, she waltzes away from him, who's stunned by her sudden change of mood.
When Olivia entered the hotel once again, she marched to the main deck with a big smile.
"Hey! Do you guys know where Leo headed when I walked out a while ago?" Olivia asks the girls behind the desk while showing her purest smile.
Tala melted at her eyes while pointing up. "Tala meant Leo is on the 2nd to the last floor at the very top. Kyle and Mark came back seconds ago." Ruby informed her while glaring at Tala.
Olivia bowed then thanked them. "Thank you!"
"Though, I am sure there's an old man behind them..." Lianne said while squinting her eyes to Olivia, who is now in front of the elevator.
"Yeah, he looks awfully like Jace too." Casey complimented the obvious.
They all shrugged at the thought then continued working by handing out keys and information to visitors.
────
When Olivia walked out of the elevator, she was confused when almost all the lights were off. "I'm sure this is what Ruby pointed out."
She wandered around, slowly checking every corner for Leo.
As she continued her pace, a deep voice was heard from a certain room.
"We can't let my son's condition stop you from what you promised me." An older man said.
"Seems like Jace's alter carries the memories with him..." Olivia guessed that it was Kyle's voice.
She starts to eavesdrop on their conversation. "Don't worry we'll figure this out. He is a sick guy no one will listen to him." Mark said.
"What about you Leo?" The older man's voice was deeper than before.
"I-I'll promise to take care of Jace and make his mouth shut." Leo murmured. The sound of being unsure was lacing on his voice.
"Good. If you have to kill him then go on," a sound of glass is placed on a glass table echoed. "I'll handle Cecilia."
Who is Cecilia?
