So, Shall We Get Married?
Chapter 13

-I think I should go into my building now.

-It’s still raining hard.

-Whatever, I’m already wet and dirty.” She looks at him out of the corner of her eye, then tries to open the car door, but remembers it was locked. “Aren’t you going to let me out?

-Have you at least thought about my job offer?

-I have nothing to think about, Mr. Palmer.

-At least let me tell you what the job is about.

-That’s not necessary, now if you don’t mind. -She points to the safety.

Not that he wanted to keep her, but the truth is it was raining hard. If he’d already given her a hard time minutes before, he wouldn’t feel right about letting her get out of the car in that storm outside.

-She’ll think I’m crazy, but I’m not letting her out until the rain lets up.

Olivia looked dumbfounded at the man next to her, blinking repeatedly as if she wasn’t believing what she was hearing.

who the hell is this man to keep him here against my will?

He didn’t give a damn about the rain, all he wanted was to get out of that car. Being near Caleb made her hair stand on end, too nervous to keep sitting next to him like it was nothing.

But he insisted on making things difficult for her….

-Take the safety off.” At this point, he wasn’t asking in a polite way. It was more like a warning.

-I won’t.” The CEO folded his arms, which made her even more indignant.

That was her problem, a lot of the time, she was a bit impulsive and didn’t measure the magnitude of her actions. For that reason, Olivia in one of those outbursts of uncontrollable outbursts pounced on the millionaire.

Next, the brunette went to the car’s locking mechanism and pressed the button that unlocked all the doors. Without thinking too much about it, she returned to her seat, opened the door through which she ran to the door of her building.

Caleb was so stunned that he didn’t even notice when she threw herself at him, for a moment he imagined that she would hit him or something. But the truth is that her intentions from the beginning were to remove the car’s lock, and as he watched her get out of the car, he felt taunted by the cunning brunette.

Immediately, Caleb got out of the car and followed Olivia, not caring that all of his clothes were getting wet. He also heard another car door close behind him, and without even turning to look, he raised his hand, leaving orders for his bodyguard not to follow him.

-Olivia! -He mentions her name under the downpour, but she either doesn’t hear him or ignores him.

As the two entered the building’s foyer, they were dripping water like waterfalls. Caleb caught the brunette heading for the lift, when suddenly there was a power outage.

-Shit! That’s all we need.

-Olivia,” Caleb mutters as he arrives at her side.

-With a demon! -What the hell is he doing in here?

-We haven’t finished talking.

In the semi-darkness, the brunette observes and analyses the man before her. Surely, he had lost his mind, because who in their right mind would abandon their car to go after a woman who was running away from him.

-He’s gone mad, he’d better get back in his car and leave,” the brunette takes the path towards the stairs.

-He never answered me anything, and I want to know if he’s thought about working for me,” she insists as he follows her.

-For heaven’s sake, don’t follow me. I told you I’m not interested, there are thousands of women who would kill to work with you, you have to insist on the one you’re not interested in working with.

-That’s not the point.

-Oh, no!” She stops and turns around. And what is the point, Mr. Palmer?

And just as she asks her question, the CEO stops one step before hers. By the magnitude of his stature, Caleb stood much taller than Olivia, causing her to look up.

-Your attitude is very different, and you beat all the others at that.

Not expecting an answer like that, Olivia swallows. Between the proximity of this man, the intoxicating scent of his perfume, and his huge figure, she was getting a little dazed. What’s more, she was starting to feel a little dizzy.

-I’m sorry, Mr. Palmer. But I’m not interested.” She takes a deep breath as she makes her way back to her flat.

-I don’t think I’ll stop insisting,” he follows her.

-Well, I recommend that you do.

Finally, the brunette made it to her flat, knowing that she was still being chased by the man.

She opened the door to her flat, and tried to close it quickly, but Caleb was quicker to interpose that huge hand of his in the frame.

-I don’t understand what you want from me,” he resigned himself, and Olivia let go of the door, allowing him to enter her home.

-That you’ll listen to my offer.

-I told you, I’m not interested, Mr. Palmer. Don’t feel guilty about my misfortunes, you’re not so bad yourself, I always get out of trouble.

She walks to her room, but when she enters it, she stops at the door frame. Her eyes couldn’t believe what she was seeing, everything was a complete mess in that room, what the hell had happened?

-What the hell had happened? -She speaks loudly, loud enough to get Caleb’s attention, who boldly approaches her and sees the mess.

-Is she usually this messy? -Olivia’s eyes were about to well up with tears, her room was in chaos.

-Someone broke into my house,” she said, and that was enough to put Caleb on alert.

Immediately, he pulled out his mobile phone and called his bodyguard… as he gave him instructions, Olivia began to rearrange the things in her room with a heavy heart. Then she remembered something very important – her savings – and for a split second she felt faint. But then she thought maybe it was impossible.

Immediately, she dried her mobile phone and took it to her spider warrior… while she owed him instructions, Olivie began to sort out the things in her room with great regret. Then she remembered something very important, her savings, and for a split second she felt herself becoming more and more unhappy. But then he thought that maybe it was impossible.

He went in search of the hiding place where he had his money and noticed that his eyebrow was completely empty, God was sorry! He had been robbed of all his money.

-God! -Excleme soltendo les lágrimes.

-Olivie, calm down. Go through all your things and see if you replace anything, I’ll take someone to come and investigate, I’m sure….

-No, please don’t,” I said, closing my eyes. “I don’t want you to go up there anymore, there’s not much you can do there.

-They must have gone in through the fire windows, these buildings are sometimes not very safe.

-Yes,” he says, as he picks up his things and starts to check on them.

-Olivie -Celeb, look at the p***s on the young man and look at it. -If you want, I can stay and help you.

-No.

Elle niege, but then wipe the tears from her cheeks. It was very generous, but she didn’t want to owe him anything. Besides, she thought that the matter did not concern her and that man, the one who owed her was only hers.

-You’d better leave,” Celeb looked at him and said.

-It’s all right, you’ve got my lot, if anything happens, don’t hesitate to take me.

Le cesteñe doesn’t answer him, and for him that’s like an invitation to leave. It is not a good time for him, the best thing to do is to leave him alone. But it seems that something important has been taken away by the lords, because a moment ago he was holding an eyebrow very tightly. In the interior of the same, surely there was something precious for her, but what? A jewel? Money?

No more, hearing how the door of his cease was closed, Olivie let out a cry. It’s unfair what is happening to him, he loses his job, he doesn’t get another one and he is robbed of all his savings. How is he going to survive the next few weeks.

He sits on his bed feeling somewhat defeated, he has no idea what he should do. And the last thing she wanted to do was to throw Celeb’s job out, and it wasn’t out of pride, it was because she liked him, even if he was an idiot.

-Hell, but if I don’t get a job, I’ll have to ask that man to give me a job.

He lay his wet body on the ground and thought, he didn’t have a penny, the only thing he had was what he had in his wallet. With that he wouldn’t make ends meet, if he didn’t replace a job in whatever, he would have to turn to that errant millionaire and echo.

-Anyway, it’s his stupid fault that I’m in this predicament. Well, I don’t blame him for the robbery, but I do blame him for my joblessness and my other disintegrations.

He sits back down on the bed, and he releases his breath at the sight of the mess in his bedroom… he has to clean up and then check the little newspaper.

Immediately, she took out her mobile phone and called her bodyguard… as she gave him instructions, Olivia began to rearrange the things in her room with some regret. Then she remembered something very important – her savings – and for a split second she felt faint. But then she thought that maybe it was impossible.

He went in search of the hiding place where he had his money and noticed that his little box was completely empty. All his money had been stolen.

-Oh, God! -She exclaims, shedding tears.

-Olivia, calm down. Go through all your things and see if anything is missing, I’ll send for someone to come and investigate, I’m sure….

-No, please don’t,” she says, closing the box. “I don’t want anyone else to go up there, there’s not much that can be done here.

-They must have come in through the fire window, these buildings are sometimes not very safe.

-Yes,” she replies, barely, as she gathers her things and begins to arrange them.

-Olivia,” Caleb observes the young woman’s grief and pulls her close. If you want, I can stay and help you.

-No.

She denies, then wipes the tears from her cheeks. He was very generous, but she didn’t want to owe anyone anything. Besides, she didn’t think it was any of this man’s business, that being robbed was his business.

-You’d better leave,” Caleb looked at her and nodded.

-All right, you have my card, if anything happens, don’t hesitate to call me.

The brunette didn’t answer him, and to him that was like an invitation to leave his house. It wasn’t a good time for her, it was best to leave her alone. But apparently the thieves had taken something important, because a moment ago she was holding a box very tightly. Inside it, there was probably something precious to her, but what? Jewellery? Money?

Just as she heard the door of her house being closed, Olivia burst into tears. It was unfair what was happening to her, she lost her job, she couldn’t get another one and they stole all her savings in the process. How was she going to survive the next few weeks.

She sits on the bed feeling somewhat defeated, she had no idea what she should do. And the last thing she wanted was to take Caleb’s job, and it wasn’t out of pride, it was because she liked him, even if he was an idiot.

-Hell, if I don’t get a job, I’m going to have to ask that man to give me a job.

She lay her wet body on the bed and thought, she didn’t have a penny, the only thing she had was what she had in her wallet. That wouldn’t make ends meet, and if he couldn’t replace a job doing anything, he’d have to turn to that arrogant, bullying millionaire.

-Anyway, it’s his stupid fault I’m in this predicament. Well, I don’t blame him for the robbery, but I do blame him for my unemployment and my other misfortunes.

He sits back down on the bed, and lets out his breath at the sight of the mess in his bedroom… it was his turn to clean up and then check the damn newspaper.
