Chapter 435 - Harsh Reality

The thought arose in her mind, making Olivia already feel the arms around herself. She found it unreasonable but she can't help but sigh those feelings that occurred in her chest. 

Whereas, her eyes didn't tear from the couple's back until she saw them vanishing, which in return made her clutch her hands together.

"Stop feeling like this, Olivia.." another voice from beside, making her turn around to see that it was Jack, who had whispered.. 

While Mr. Greyson was currently on call with someone, she looked at his face, "About what are you talking about?"

"The suppressed feelings in your heart for that bastard. C'mon, he isn't worthy of the same and you know this as well.." Jack had kept the serious expressions on his face when he muttered this. 

Olivia found it hard to refute, but she didn't agree to, "He is worthy or not, you won't decide it."

"But I can at least warn you that you will be left empty-handed because of him. If you still think you can pester behind him, then I'm sorry my dear but in the end, he will never choose you." Jack had shown her the harsh reality mirror that lay within her eyes. 

There was nothing to deny that she will never be more than a mere assistant. 

Or maybe a fuck buddy. As Olivia lowered her gaze, she had to take multiple deep breaths to not let her sentiments be tempered. 

No...she can't let herself be hurt in such a way all because of that man, It was all useless. Moreover, how honest will Jack be? 

When Jack caught the sight of her mixed emotion, a smirk had curved on his lips. He didn't let that smile fade either but stopped it from each in his eyes as well. "Your life, you rule. But I didn't find any other reason for you to think deeply for him..." 

"You are no not telling me what you'd think or not.." Olivia gritted her teeth, trying her best to not let fury have any impact on her head. 

It might be useless, not worthy but she still had feelings that were hard to express even. 

Continuously, her facial expression kept on changing, but soon, her face turned even paler when Jack had grabbed her wrist to make her stand. 

He took her near the elevator before they went down from the cruise, "Where the hell is you taking me right now?!"

The frustration had covered her face to only get a reply from his side, "To make you see the reality.." Reality? A scoff left from Olivia's face where she was not even bearing him any stare of hers. 

He had held her wrist still very much firmly before the elevator had opened on one of the floors. 

There, he took her again, back to the lobbies, making Olivia's face twist even more. 

She found him trying to take advantage of her, but in the back of her mind, she knew that he wouldn't do such a thing either.... 

However, when he stopped in the middle of the lobby, in front of one of the rooms, did it make her heart thump against her chest. 

Uncertainty was written clearly on her face. 

"W-why are we here, Jack?" she can't help but ask. 

"To make you see the reality that leads inside this room.." 

Subconsciously, with the lot of reluctance that surfaced on Olivia's face, she had turned her head in the direction of the room to see that it was all quiet in the lobby.

Except for the heavy breathing, she can't even hear any other human. 

But then, surely her dream broke when another voice trailed her ears. 

"Jenifer! Jen...come closer..." 

"Jenifer....you do smell good..." 

The sentences were like any other arrow to her heart, which made her take a step back. Her lips parted but no words came out either. 

She was all frozen to the position like any other broken lady.

On the other hand, Jack saw her actions as well, where he had passed her a weak smile, "See? This is the reality which you should face. Lucas is inside with his fiance."

"He must be touching her...kissing her...all ready to make love to her. And you? What about you, Miss Olivia? You were merely an assistant of him and a fuck buddy?" 

In response, Olivia passed him a deadly glare but it didn't impact his speech to convey further, "When he had signed the documents, he had the happiness which he shared with Jennifer..."

"Since she has come back he is doing everything for her, and who are you? A lady like you should actually secure her future rather than roaming around like any other shit person. Being a mistress doesn't suit you either, an independent lady like you should go for more..aim for high..." 

There were no words that came out of her mouth either, where Olivia stood on her face. 

She had let her head down onto the ground with her heart beating too fast and raced up and high. 

She was like any other human being who was left alone, homeless...and almost having died what was going on around her. 

At this stage, she was all alone, and Olivia did realize this fact right now...

'And this Lucas has made another lady pregnant..Gosh..Why then am I wasting my life because of this bastard?' Olivia questioned her own worth recently. 

She knew all the top secrets, but she had kept mum because of several reasons. And right here, Jack was showing her the true colors.. 

Whereas, Jack had seen the constant shift in her expression, which wasn't any new to see other. he could somehow, expect that from her too since she is too lost, 

His hands traveled to massage his temples when he finally showed another truth, which made Olivia's floor slip as well.

"You don't have to feel nervous anymore... You have done what you should have. Right now, you must be thinking that whatever you did, might be a betrayal to Lucas, but Olivia, this is going to be the first step towards your freedom to..trust me..."
