Watch Me Win Alpha (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 386

**Alpha Novel 386**

The thought of everything Alexander had done to her body, the way he had treated her, made Olivia’s stomach churn with a tumult of emotions. It was infuriating to realize that Jess had been his first target, his initial experiment. How could he have moved from one to the other so effortlessly?

A new, unwelcome thought crept into her mind, gnawing at her like a persistent itch. Was Alexander deliberately trying to provoke Jess by being gentler with Olivia? The idea made her teeth clench in frustration. Alexander should have learned by now that she was not a mere pawn in his convoluted game of manipulation. She was not someone to be toyed with.

Olivia inhaled deeply, attempting to steady her racing heart. She needed to regain her composure. The moment she had spotted Jess on that rooftop, a silent vow had formed in her mind: she would not get entangled in whatever twisted dynamic existed between Alexander and Jess. It was a promise that weighed heavily on her, yet she was resolute in her decision.

But then, Jess began to act… oddly. When Olivia glanced back, she found Jess grinning at her, a mischievous glint dancing in her eyes. Rather than easing her nerves, this only heightened Olivia’s unease.

What kind of game was Jess playing now?

“I think ‘Cheese’ is such a delightful name!” Jess exclaimed, her voice bubbling with enthusiasm as she plopped down beside Olivia on the couch. “She’s such a sweetheart, isn’t she?”

Jess reached out, her hand poised to pet the kitten, but Cheese took one look at her and bolted, darting away like a streak of lightning. The little creature scampered into Mike’s room, seeking refuge under the couch.

Olivia fought to suppress a smug smile, but she wasn’t entirely successful.

Jess cleared her throat, her initial plan to bond over the cat having backfired. She needed a new approach.

“So, Olivia,” she began, her tone sugary sweet, “would you like to join me for a shopping trip tomorrow? Even though I used to live here, there are so many new stores popping up around town. I would really appreciate your company to show me around.” She batted her eyelashes innocently, a façade of charm.

“Absolutely!” Olivia replied, a cheerful smile spreading across her face without a moment’s hesitation. “That sounds like a blast!”

Meanwhile, Alexander stood with his arms crossed, a frown etched on his face as he observed the two women. A wave of suspicion slithered down his spine, and he narrowed his eyes, trying to decipher Jess’s intentions. He was acutely aware that she had an ulterior motive behind inviting Olivia out tomorrow. The question gnawed at him: what was she planning? He felt a cold dread settle in his stomach at the thought that Olivia might be oblivious to Jess’s scheming, that this wouldn’t be just a simple shopping trip.
