Chapter 21
The Substitute Bride Doted by My Billionaire Husband
Chapter 21 Flirting with me?
Olive had mistakenly sent the picture to Elvis instead of North. She quickly thought of deleting it, but it had already been marked sent.
She was felt a surge of heat engulfing her as she paced around the room with her right hand on her lips.
Northâs message came in again.
âI needed to see your picture so I could ascertain the pyjamas thatâll fit you. PURPLE STILI just released a new sexy night dresses. But Iâve sent the pictures of the pyjamas to you, just choose the one thatâll be your size and also your husband taste, and let me know once youâre done deciding.â
âOh, so thatâs why she she needed my picture.â Olive muttered as she read Northâs message.
She opened the pictures and went through them. A velvet pink one caught her attention.
Thinking she had made her choice, she swiped the picture and the next was so beautiful that she became totally indecisive.
Miles away, in a tall skyscraper, Elvis sat in the conference room amongst other executives.
The chief financial officer was analysing the yearâs sales reports. Everyone paid maximum attention and listened attentively.
Despite their concentration on the speech being rendered, they couldnât help but still glances at the man who sat on the VIP seat, Elvis.
Elvis was dressed in a black suit and a white silk scarf was stuffed in his suitâs pocket.
His hair was neatly styled making gorgeous his already handsome face.
His appearance could be defined as, alluring yet, powerful.
The room was so quiet that a needle could be heard falling. A beeping sound rang out.
âDing!â The entire crewâs eyes trailed the direction of the sound and all gaze landed on Elvis.
Elvis stared at his phone which laid on the table. It was a message from Olive. He had added her up the previous night.
Elvis gestured with his hands, urging the chief financial officer to proceed with the reports.
When their gaze were focused back on the officer, Elvis opened the message and saw the picture sent by Olive.
Olive was wearing a green and floral swimsuit. Her long silkâlike black hair was wetly draped over her glowing shoulders. But her face still was masked.
Since they met, Elvis had never seen her bare skin. Although they slept in the same room, Olive made sure to properly cover herself.
Regardless, her beautiful figure was still visible even from the baggy clothes..
Elvis typed a message and sent it to her, âFlirting with me?â
Olive who was staring at her phone for his response finally received the message and her face clouded in embarrassment.
âItâs still daytime over here.â Another message from Elvis popped in.
It was night for her and day for him.
Olive touched her face, it was flushing with heat and didnât care whether it was day or night, âWould you believe if I said that it werenât you that I intended sending it to?â Olive quickly replied.
Elvis frowned and responded, âWho did you intend on sending it to?â
Olive suddenly felt as though she was ripped of an opportunity to defend herself. She hastily took a screenshot of her chat with North and forwarded it to him.
âYou can buy them all and try them on. Iâll tell you which I like later.â
Olive read his reply for three times to be sure of what to reply him.
âRogue.â She finally sent to him. He raised his eyebrows and chuckled sweetly as he read the message.
He knew her to be smart and calm. And if she became angry, then she knew that he had made her anxious.
âGo clean up.â His message came in, and that was the last she got.
Olive laid back on the bed. She curled like a boiled prawn. His last message, âGo clean upâ was stuck in her mind as she wondered what he implied.
She shut her eyes tight and diverted her thoughts on the dayâs event. She suddenly remembered Derrick.
She was certain that he had surfaced just to taunt her. He was now amongst the four major families in Los Angeles. He was powerful and would be very difficult todeal with.
The situation was indeed very unfavorable for her. She pondered on why Derrick had referred to her as dirty and a ragged shoe.
She grabbed her phone from her pillow and messaged North concerning the issue.
âDo you wanna confront him about it?â Northâs message popped in.
âTo be honest Olive, perverts are not that difficult to deal with. Heâs just bitter that he didnât end up having you. Olive didnât reply the message. But she understood perfectly what North implied.
Later in the night. Derrick took Gabriella to the hotelâs presidential suite..
Derrick had just taken a shower and was wearing a white bathrobe. He poured a little red wine into the goblet and sipped elegantly from it.
Gabriella snuck up and hugged him from behind.
âDerrick, do you think my father loves Oliveâs mother so much?â
Derrick looked at the ceiling and asked, âWhy do you say so?â
âWell, my dadâs wallet has a picture of Oliveâs mother. The picture is very precious to him, he never allows anyone to touch it. And my dad is a type of person who values his reputation so much, but he slapped my mother outside the hotelâ¦â
An extremely beautiful face appeared in Derrickâs mind, and he said calmly, âOliveâs mother is a legendary woman.â
Gabriella had never met Oliveâs mother.
It was as though Oliveâs mother had vanished from the surface of the earth. As all the informations concerning her life and death had been totally erased.
The more Gabriella thought of this, the more scared she felt.
Someone really controlled the earth!
âMy mum was right, Olive really is a lustrous woman. First she had a gigolo, and now, sheâs rolling with the CEO of Augustineâs corporation.â Gabriella muttered as Derrick turned to stare at her.
