Chapter 424: As If Very Intimate
Victor almost immediately saw through her pretense. When he saw Olivia about to fall, he reached out to support her without hesitation.
Olivia’s hand landed on his arm.
Neither of them moved.
Realizing her pretense had been exposed, Olivia stiffly held onto Victor’s arm, lowered her head for a while, and then slowly straightened up, apologizing to Victor as if nothing had happened, “Sorry, I just… lost my balance.”
After speaking, she tried to withdraw her hand.
Victor sensed her intention, his eyes darkening slightly. Before she could pull away, he firmly pressed her hand against his arm.
Olivia frowned slightly.
“Given what just happened, there’s no need to put on a brave face with me now.” Victor frowned, his expression unchanged as he reached out to wrap an arm around her waist, giving her a point of support.
Olivia instantly felt much lighter.
But the next second, she restrained herself and tried to distance herself from his arm.
The posture was too intimate, especially with so many people at the airport.
“I also think it’s easier this way,” Victor’s deep voice sounded.
Hearing this, Olivia was startled and turned her head incredulously to meet his gaze.
Victor looked at her calmly, as if saying she could try avoiding him again and see if he wouldn’t carry her out of the airport in a grand manner.
They stood still for a few seconds. Olivia gritted her teeth, looked away, and silently relaxed her body, leaning against Victor’s arm.
Victor carefully supported her and slowly walked toward the airport exit.
Upon leaving the airport, Olivia struggled a bit. “Thank you, Mr. Leer. I’m fine now. You can let go of me.”
Victor still didn’t release her. “I’ll take you back.”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Olivia refused without hesitation, “No need. I’ll take a cab myself.”
The little ones had already noticed she didn’t like Victor. She didn’t want them to see her with Victor again and misunderstand.
However, the current situation was clearly not up to her.
She was too exhausted to even muster the strength to break free from his grip.
As long as Victor said no, she had no choice but to comply.
Victor indeed didn’t comply with her wishes and almost forcibly took her to the parking lot.
Nathan was already waiting there.
Seeing them appear together, he looked a bit puzzled but quickly understood.
No wonder this matter wasn’t that serious, yet the master had to go personally and stayed for so long.
It seemed the scene before him was the answer.
Nathan opened the car door for them to get in and returned to the driver’s seat, smiling as he asked, “Master, shall we take Miss Prescott home first?”
Victor responded with a deep hum.
Hearing Nathan’s natural question, Olivia couldn’t help but frown slightly, feeling a strange sensation in her heart.
Nathan’s tone made it seem like she and Victor were very close…
The car started slowly. Olivia leaned against the door, trying to regain some strength.
The journey was silent.
Near the entrance of the villa area, Olivia broke the silence in the car, “Please drop me off here. I’ll walk back myself.”
She really didn’t want the two little boys to see her with Victor again.
Nathan immediately checked his master’s reaction in the rearview mirror.
Seeing Victor’s expressionless face, Nathan understood and didn’t stop the car, driving all the way to Olivia’s house.
