You Looked Down on Me Once Now You Look Up (Patricia and Oliver) novel Chapter 840

“Don’t you watch where you’re going, Miss Hernandez?”

Helena’s hands shook. She was tipsy, barely keeping it together, and honestly, she hadn’t meant for any of this to happen.

“I’m... I’m so sorry. I just lost my balance.”

“Lost your balance? On a street this wide, you managed to crash right into me and send my phone flying. What’s your secret, Helena? Been eating your spinach? Got some secret super strength I don’t know about?”

His voice carried, loud enough for everyone around to hear. People slowed down, curious, eyes turning their way. In Golden Bay, everyone knew about Oliver and the Hernandez family’s girl.

There had always been talk. Grandma Grace Padilla was set on matching her niece with Oliver. Before they even met, she kept bringing it up at every social event. Oliver, maybe out of politeness or just not wanting to embarrass her, never set the record straight. The media loved it, spinning stories about their “impending engagement” for years. Everyone started to believe it.

Then at the Rath family’s big celebration, Mr. Padilla ended it all with a single word—ugly.

But rumors don’t die that easily. People still whispered, still wondered. In Golden Bay, no one even blinked if a rich man had a mistress.

Now, seeing Oliver and Helena standing together again, the crowd expected drama. They watched, ready for a show.

Oliver never let his emotions show in public unless he had no other choice. He wasn’t famous for being friendly, but he could fake it as long as no one crossed his line.

Tonight, though, things were different. His wife hadn’t answered his calls. He was already on edge. Then Helena came along and smashed his phone. Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable.

“I really am sorry. I didn’t mean to. I’ll pay for your phone.”

“Pay? With what? We’re both supposed to be professionals here. You know how important a phone is. If I actually made you pay for it, do you really think you could afford it?”

When he finished, he noticed Helena standing there, looking like she wanted to disappear. It only made him angrier.
