Chapter 398: Will I Eat You?
The carriage was deathly silent, and it was clear that the atmosphere was completely different from when Isaac was present, giving a sense of impending storm.
Olivia sat almost upright, staring straight ahead, trying hard to forget the person beside her.
But whether it was her imagination or not, ever since Isaac got off the car, she felt the man’s gaze on her, making her tense up instinctively.
Suddenly, the man’s magnetic voice sounded in her ear.
“Miss Prescott, have I offended you in some way?”
Hearing his voice, Olivia actually felt a bit relieved and distantly pulled her lips into a smile. “Why do you say that, Mr. Leer?”
Victor looked at her with a heavy gaze, his tone laced with displeasure. “If not, then why is Miss Prescott avoiding me?”
Upon hearing this, Olivia frowned slightly, feigning confusion. “When have I ever avoided Mr. Leer? To be precise, we hardly have any chances to meet, our work does not intersect.”
The implication was that apart from work, they had no personal relationship.
In fact, they didn’t even have any work-related interactions.
They had no reason to meet, let alone avoid each other.
As soon as she finished speaking, the temperature in the carriage seemed to drop suddenly.
Nathan, who was driving, cautiously glanced at the two in the back through the rearview mirror, feeling a pang of worry for Olivia.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Knowing that Mr. Leer was currently displeased, why did Miss Prescott have to provoke him?
While he was worrying, he saw Mr. Leer lower the partition between the front and back seats.
Nathan silently withdrew his gaze, not daring to pay attention to what was happening behind him anymore.
Seeing the man suddenly lower the partition, Olivia’s heart shrank and she instinctively turned to the side, pressing her back tightly against the car window to put some distance between them.
Victor noticed her movement and narrowed his eyes in displeasure, questioning coldly, “Olivia, since you said I haven’t offended you, why are you avoiding me now? Do you think I will eat you?”
Olivia frowned slightly, a hint of wariness in her eyes as she distantly replied, “I just feel that we are not familiar with each other. Mr. Leer’s actions seem a bit sudden to me.”
Victor looked at the wariness on her face and pulled his lips into a sarcastic smile. “What do you think I am going to do?”
Olivia remained silent, recalling the kiss when they first met at the hotel after she returned to the country.
It was also the only time Victor had taken the initiative with her since they met.
But it happened when she no longer needed it.
The current situation was eerily similar to that day.
Victor’s gaze was heavy as he looked at her, a storm brewing in his eyes.
Since their last meeting at the cafe, Olivia had been avoiding him, even having their family nanny pick up Sebastian and Ethan.
Until today, when Isaac found an excuse for him to see Olivia again.
But all evening, Olivia had been distancing herself from him, not even willing to say a word!
Victor thought he could understand her thoughts, but seeing Olivia treat him like this in person only made his anger burn hotter.
He had intended to vent his frustration by drinking, and now fueled by alcohol, his anger intensified.
Olivia clearly felt the increasing pressure in the carriage. Her hand hanging by her side unconsciously clenched into a fist, her fingertips digging deeply into her palm as she struggled to suppress the panic rising within her.
