99 Bloody Lashes And A Bullet To His Hear novel Chapter 69

Hearing their chatter, Olivia smiled and didn’t refuse.

That evening, after dinner with her colleagues, she was about to hail a taxi when a Maybach suddenly stopped in

front of her.

The window rolled down, revealing Joe’s face.

“Get in.”

His words were concise, but she didn’t comply as he expected. Instead, she walked ahead along the road as if she hadn’t seen him, continuing to hail a cab.

Joe’s expression darkened. He quickly started his car and followed her, making it difficult for other taxis to stop.

After the third cab was driven away, Olivia finally stopped, sighed, and pulled open his car door. The moment she sat inside, she was met with his somewhat helpless expression.

“Olivia, didn’t I explain already? My relationship with Sophia is just an act. Why are you angry again?”

“I’m not angry.”

She stared ahead, her voice calm, but he didn’t believe her. “If you’re not angry, why didn’t you get in earlier?”

After a pause, she curled her lips into a mocking smile.

“Wasn’t it you who insisted our relationship had to be kept secret? My colleagues were nearby. If they saw, how

would we keep it secret?”

Hearing her sarcastic tone, Joe wasn’t upset. Instead, he found it amusing.

He reached out and pinched her cheek. “Still saying you’re not angry? You obviously care. I swear, there’s nothing between me and Sophia–it’s just an act. I won’t really marry her. Stop being mad, okay? Once everything here is settled, I’ll tell everyone that you’re the one I truly love.”

He had expected to see her touched, maybe even cry, but instead, she just stared at him for a long while before

finally asking, “Really?”

Her gaze made him feel guilty, and he instinctively looked away without answering.

Olivia wasn’t surprised.

Even if he had answered, they both knew it would have been nothing more than a lie to appease her.

Joe not marrying Sophia was a lie.

Joe making their relationship public was also a lie.

But fortunately, she had already decided to leave. So, she didn’t feel as heartbroken anymore.

The next day, Olivia was at work when she suddenly received a message from Joe, asking her to go to a bridal

boutique.

Since he was still her boss, she had no choice but to comply and took a taxi there.

As she arrived, she immediately saw Joe’s familiar Maybach.

Sophia smirked. “Why? I think she’s quite capable. You told me I could call any secretary–so is she an exception?”
