Chapter 0059
OLIVIA
+25 AONUS
The guys shared a look like they did not believe that Nick’s mother had good intentions. “I know it sounds strange, but it makes sense to me. Look at all the strange texts I keep getting after each incident. Someone wants to make me look bad and she said she would find out who is and send me the information.”
The guys said nothing. I understood where Marcus was coming from, Nick has not exactly been a model citizen when it came to me. The man has done a lot to hurt me, and he didn’t know his mother. So, he didn’t believe his mother would take my side in this. He might think that she wanted to trick me or something
But I had to trust someone, until his mother shows me something to make me doubt her, I will give her the benefit of the doubt. She was not her son. “I would listen to her when she said be careful. She is right, not all who smile with you are your friends. Take Sandra for instance.” He said that looking at Ethan.
He frowned getting up. “I will not stand for this, am leaving Olivia. Call me when you need something.” I nodded and he left. “You don’t have to treat him that way you know” Marcus shrugged. “I did nothing wrong, I just looked at the man. If he was innocent, why is he so guilty?” I said nothing to that.
But I did notice that he did not eat much. He was playing with his food. “Marcus, is everything alright?” I was so focused on my son that I didn’t notice that something was amiss with him. “Everything is fine,” I looked at him. he was saying everything was fine with his mouth, but his eyes were saying something else.
“Then why are you playing with your food and looking distracted.” He gave me a smile trying to convince me that he was alright. But the smile did not reach his eyes. I sighed placing my hand in his, he looked at my hand and stilled.
“Marcus, did something happen with the company, are we not going to be able to have everything ready for the launch?” he lifted his head and looked at me. “No, the launch is going ahead as planned, but…” he paused looking away from me.
‘But what? Talk to me please. I am also the owner of the business and we both shoulder the responsibilities if something goes wrong.” He shook his head standing up. “It has nothing to do with our business. Everything is
fine on that front.”
I stood too. Something was wrong, it might not have been with our business, but something was wrong somewhere, I could tell. “Then what is bothering you?” he sighed turning to look at me. “Someone is stealing money from my business. They are taking small amounts at the time so that no one notices.”
I felt defeated, when were we ever going to get peace? We had stopped the revenge on Nick. We should be having some peace in our lives, but it was not happening. Instead, more problems came to light. “But you did notice and stopped it. How much did they take?”
He sat back down, now that I looked at him closely. The man looked exhausted like he had not been sleeping. I felt guilty that I didn’t notice. That was a man who noticed everything about me and made sure I was taken care of.
“I only noticed because we do a sweep for viruses on our servers every month. They have taken about 1,2 million dollars over the last month and if I didn’t do the sweep then they would have taken more. I would have only noticed when I had nothing.”

My heart ached; it could be because of me that this was happening to him. He had no problems with his businesses until he started working with me. “My people are still trying to find out who did it. They did find out the transfers were being done from here and they are still trying to locate the person’s IP address.”
It was clear that it was because of me, it could be the same gerson who had our warehouse burnt down. “I am” sorry Marcus. This is all my fault.” He quickly shook his head. “No Olivia, you didn’t steal from me, so you di

nothing wrong. Also, don’t worry about the two million, I am worth more than that I am just pissed that they decided to go after my money like that. these people are nothing more than mere thieves and we are going to get them.”
Still, that did not put my heart at ease, they were targeting im because of me and the sooner we found them the better. “What can I do to help?” he gave me a tender look making butterflies surge in my stomach. Get a grip Olivia, why in the hell would you feel like that, the man is your business partner nothing more.
