Chapter 14_ You?!
Kelvin flashed Xander one of his cute smiles that can make even the hard hearted people melt like butter..
“I can’t find them”
Xander looked around the eatery before settling his gaze back on the kid, he failed to see the mischievous smile that played at the corner of the kid’s lips..
“You can’t? do you know where you live?”
Kelvin gave a nod and hopped down from his seat, he stood next to Xander and took his hands..
Xander looked down at the kid, he couldn’t be wrong about this resemblance but Damien wasn’t that kind of person, as far as he could recall, he has only one woman in his life..

Bianca sat up with a yawn, her half opened eyes looked around the room..
Her hand went to the back of her head that was banging hard, how did she fall into a deep sleep?…
She left the room in search of Kelvin when she remembered that he hasn’t had his breakfast..
“Kelvin”
She called out several times but got no response, she went back into his room in search of him when her eyes fell on a pill on his nightstand table..
Bianca picked the pill up and her brows furrowed together before it suddenly dawned on her..
“That little brat! he must have put this into the juice he gave me..”

Olivia pulled her hands out of Damien’s grip the moment they entered the elevator..
“Let go of me! I really didn’t do anything wrong for you to treat me this way, your pathetic girlfriend lied against me”
Damien turned swiftly to her placing a hand on the wall of the elevator above her head..
“Is this one of the numerous tactics you’ve devised to get close to me? I hope you’re not having any silly thoughts in…
Olivia placed her palm over his mouth to stop him from spurting out nonsense, she could bear it anymore, who does he think he was to flatter himself so much?
“You’re not even my taste in men neither are you that good looking, I wake up next to the most handsome face in the world every morning and you don’t stand a chance! ugly!” She mocked before taking her hands off his mouth..
Luckily for her, the doors to the elevator opened and just when she was about to step out, Damien pulled her back in gently by her collar..
He raised a finger to her face ready to thunder into her ears but was stopped by another thunder bolt..
“Damien!”
Damien and Olivia turned to the direction of the voice to see a woman standing just in front of the door..Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Mum?”
Anita’s eyes narrowed at her son who was still holding onto Olivia’s collar..
Damien who noticed where his mum’s gaze was focused at, pulled his hand off Olivia’s collar..
Olivia suddenly ran into Anita’s embrace sobbing gently..
“Ma’am thank goodness you came here, he was threatening me to resign a few minutes ago, and when I didn’t agree… he tried to choke me in there”
Damien’s jaw dropped at her blatant lie, how could she?
Anita gasped and turned to her son who didn’t try to say anything which meant it was true..
He was found of bullying the poor girl at anytime he got, at least that’s what she thought..
“Damien.. didn’t I tell you that she can’t be fired as long as she wants to work here? look at how sad she is now, you never miss a chance to bully her”
Damien was left speechless for words, how can his mum trust this lady blindly? was he the only one that saw through her lies?!
“Mum that wasn’t what really happened.. she slapt Rihanna and I had to…
Anita patted Olivia’s back slowly “This is about that little fling of yours isn’t it?”
Olivia pulled away from Anita sniffing back, “Ma’am please don’t scold him anymore.. I’m afraid he might get back at me by increasing my workload”
“He wouldn’t dare to do that!”
She glanced towards Damien with a small pout which the latter found really annoying, he had a sudden urge to push her in front of a moving car..
“Are you seriously going to believe this woman lies?”
Anita frowned and moved closer to him “I don’t get why you and Alexa thinks that she is a liar, look at her.. so innocent and yet you bully her”

Xander’s black Maybach came to a halt in front of a building..
He glanced at the back to see the kid’s wide smile, he stepped out of the car and came around to open the door for Kelvin..
Kelvin stepped out of the car with the aid of Xander..
Xander took a look at the building with a frown on his face..
“You live here?”
Kelvin nodded and took his hand in his leading him into the building..
“Aren’t you supposed to be in school? I guess you have an irresponsible parent”
Kelvin stopped on his tracks, so as Xander who had a stoic expression on his face..
“Is something wrong?”
Kelvin pulled his hand off Xander’s hold and moved back gently..
“My mummy isn’t irresponsible! she’s really great! don’t call her that anymore!”
Xander’s left brow arched was this another way of saying ‘thank you for the ride home’ in kid’s language?
Bianca stepped out of the building tying her shoulder length hair with a band, she had to find Kelvin before his mother comes back home and destroy the whole world..
A sigh of relief escaped her lips when she saw him standing a few distance away with a man, they seemed to be involved in a serious conversation that they didn’t seem to notice her..
“Kelvin!”
Kelvin snapped his head to the direction of the voice and instantly he ran towards her..
Bianca touched his head gently when he suddenly engulfed her into a tight embrace..
She looked up to the man who was keenly staring at the both of them..
“You?!” Xander and Bianca asked at the same time..
Kelvin pulled away from Bianca and stared at the two who seemed to know each other..
Xander stared at the lady in front of him in shock, wasn’t she the same lady that made him have sleepless night all throughout the previous night because of his failed approach to her..
“What did you do to him? wait a minute! did you abduct him?!”
Xander was left puzzled, doesn’t she know how reputable he is? if someone heard what she just said his image might be tarnished..
“Oh I see! you’re the irresponsible mother who left her child at the eatery unbothered.. such a pity, beauty with absolutely no brains..
Kelvin gasped and slowly moved back, he glanced at Xander who still had a mocking smile on his lips, if only he knew what was coming for him..
Bianca rolled up her sleeves and walked to him in hurried steps before he could tell what she was up to, all he saw next was stars before a black out occured..

Anita held Olivia’s hand as they made their way to Damien’s office and without prior notice, she pushed the door opened startling Rihanna who was sitting on Damien’s seat behind the desk..
She brought her legs down from the table and rose to her feet when she saw the lady of the sterlings walking in..
“Mrs Sterling.. I.. umm.
Anita snorted and turned back to her son “Was it because this lady you chose to bully Olivia?”
Rihanna gulped down nervously as she tried to keep the smile on her face..
How could she forget how much this woman despises her?
“Mum.. you know I’d never treat a woman like that! but this crook here is asking for it.. all she does is to cause one trouble or another.. and I’m already fed up of all her drama’s!”
Anita’s face fell, she slowly walked to the couch in the office and sat down with a long face..
“I knew it! you clearly don’t respect me anymore, you think I’m a bad mother”
Olivia’s brows rose up in surprise, here she thought that she was the drama queen but right in front of her Mrs Sterling was actually crying?
Damien sighed pinching the space between his brows..
“Mum what are you doing?.. this isn’t your fault in anyway.. it’s all her’s and I promise to make her pay dearly for it”
Olivia stuck her tongue out to him, to top it all the more, she sat next to Mrs Sterling to console her..
“Ma’am.. boss isn’t like this, he bully’s me whenever this lady is around, she always look for ways to make him yell at me”
Anita’s feigned sobbing became even louder, one thing she knew about Damien was that he couldn’t stand to see her in tears..
She pointed a finger at Rihanna who was silently observing everything, she refused to blink, for a moment there she thought that she was the real bully..
“Send her out of here! or else I’ll tell everyone how bad my own son treats me”
Rihanna’s eyes nearly popped out of its sockets, how can this lady be so demanding, however, she knew Damien wouldn’t agree to it since he loves her so much..
“Rihanna.. please leave”
Rihanna was about to speak up when Anita interjected..
“Didn’t you hear him?!”
Rihanna picked up her purse from the desk and hurried out of the office..
Anita’s once sullen expression lightened up as soon as she was gone, she stood up to her feet and walked towards Damien..
“I guess everything is good now.. I have to be at the beauty spa.. and for the last time Damien, don’t bully Olivia!” She warned sternly and kissed him on his cheek..
“Bye son”
Olivia bade her goodbye and as soon as the door closed she turned to leave for her office when she was suddenly pulled back by Damien..
“Don’t you think that we have a little score to settle?”
