TAMING MR JERKFACE: Own By An Overbearing CEO
Chapter 28

Debby's POV

"Really?! Olivia and Andre?! Going to spain together?!" Anna exclaimed and I nod.

Currently, I'm face timing with Anna in Andre's room.

After we left the mall, I stormed up here and locked Andre outside... I don't wanna see him now, seeing him will only increase my anger... or should I say jealousy! "Have you confirmed if it's true?" She asked me.

"No! I don't need to confirm it, Olivia Thompson can be everything but a liar... you know her"

"Yeah... and I also know she's cunning and can do anything to achieve her goals"

Anna is kinda right but I don't think Olivia would lie about something like this.

"Debs, talk to your man.... ask him if truly he's going with Olivia....."

"I'm not gonna ask him.. I don't care if he and Olivia goes together!" I sneered.

She stares at me surprised at my outburst.... I'm surprised too, like I don't know why I'm angry. "Debs, are you..... jealous?" She asked.

I scoffed. "Jealous? Of whom? Olivia?"

She nods with a mock smile. "Yeah, you are jealous"

"I'm not!"

She rolled her eyes.

"Just talk to Andre and clear your doubts.... the Andre I know won't do anything to hurt you" "I wish!"

She picks a book from her nightstand and flips through the pages.

"even if Olivia is right and she's really going with Andre, I'm sure he doesn't know"

I paused and think about it.... Anna is right, who knows if this is Andre's grandmother's idea.

But even at that, my jealousy seems to have clouded my mind.

"Whatever! Change this topic, please"

She turns to a page and shows it to me.

"What do you think about this design?" She asked.

An off shoulder gown with two layers, a seemingly rose flower pinned at the front with faint stripes.

I nod approvingly.

"I love it... it's classy and graceful" I can already imagine myself on it... walking on the runway.

"Right.... Do you think they'll retain us with this?" She asked.... worried.

"Yes they will, you might even end up being their chief designer.... and I their chief model" I said with dreamily.

We both laughed briefly, then Anna's stomach growls loudly.

"Alright, Debs, I should go eat something... I don't want my ulcer to flare up again"

"Yeah, yeah please do!"

I made to end the call but Anna stopped me.

"Don't forget to ask Andre if what Olivia told you is true"

"No!"

Right on cue, we heard Andre knocking on the door.

"Angel, open up let's talk!" He said from outside.

I rolled my eyes and Anna smirks knowingly.

"Talk to him!" She commands me and hang up.

I left my phone on the bed and head towards the door. I opened it.... Andre walks inside with me.

I sat on the bed, resting my back against the headboard... I crossed my arms on my chest and turn away from him.

He came closer and take my hand in his but I snatched it away.

He sighs.

"Angel, what's wrong? Are you mad at me?"

As if it's not obvious.

"Did I do anything to upset you?"

I didn't reply him... he turns my head towards him.

"Please talk to me" he pleads with a cute frown on his face.

I almost laughed at how frustrated he is.... he's just like a two year old crying for candy.

Ok, it's time I quit my childishness and talk to him.

"Angel, say something.... I can hardly breathe seeing you this angry"

I took a deep breath.

"Olivia... are you going to spain together?" I asked calmly.

He frowns in confusion, like he doesn't know what I'm talking about.

"Olivia and I? Who told you that?"

Oh! Is he tryna deny it?

"It doesn't matter who told me... is it true?" I asked.

"No!"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes! I hate Olivia.... there's no way in hell I'm traveling with her!" He said firmly.

I secretly sigh in relief and an unconscious smile crepy on my face.

"Better!" I said.

"So.... what is wrong? Why are you angry?"

I frown..... is this guy dumb or what?

"Nothing!"

"Sure?"

"Yeah!"

He sighed.... he joined me on the bed..

"We're back from the mall, are we still gonna visit the sea?"

I checked the time on my phone.... 4pm.

"Maybe next time... I'm tired"

Tired from jealousy.... But you can't blame me. I mean, Olivia's got everything... looks... curves... education.... money.

I got nothing!

Andre's ringtone interrupts my thoughts....

"Excuse me" he told me and picked the call. "Michael"

...

"Calm down and speak slowly"

...

"Stall her, I'm on my way!" He hangs up and turns to me. "Angel, come with me to Michael's"

"What happened?"

"His wife is leaving"

I sprint up.... is the situation really that bad, that she decides to leave?

"Let's go!" I said and pulled Andre up.

I didn't grow up in a complete family... so I hate it when couples break up.

Writer's POV

Thompson's residence!

Olivia walks into the living room and slumps on a sofa next to her grandmother.... she leans on her grandmother's shoulder.

"Grandma, have you confirmed what we talked about?"

"Yes, darling.... the date and time he's leaving is already confirmed... his grandma will make arrangements for you to go with him on his private jet!" Olivia smile widely.

"Let's see how that Debby can stop me from having Andre now!"

A crash was heard and they turned their heads towards the sound.... it's Martha.

A glass fell off her hand when she heard Olivia mentioned Debby's name.

"Can you quit being clumsy for once in your life?!" Grandma scold her.

"Sorry, Mom.. I'll pick it up" Martha apologised and bend down to pick them up.

Just then the door opens and a man in his late forties walk in.

Olivia sprint up and rushed towards him enthusiastically.

"Dad!" She exclaimed and hugs him.

He throws his arms around her and chuckles.

"Olivia!" He called.

Olivia's grandma got up and rushed to her son too.... He pulls away from Olivia and hugs his mother.

"Mom!"

"Welcome home, son!" She pats his back and pull away.

He (Mr Thompson), look around and his eyes lands on Martha picking up the broken glass.

He gently pushed Olivia away and rushed towards her.

"Darling, what are you doing?" He bends down and takes the glass from her... She hissed quietly as it pricks her finger.

"Welcome home" she told him with a smile.... Though the smile doesn't reach her eyes.

Thompson helps her up and leads her to a sofa... he says her down and sits next to him.

"Martha, why were you picking those broken glass with your bare hands?" He look around like he's looking for something. "Where are all the maids?" Olivia scoffs loudly.

"She volunteered to do it herself!" She said rudely and Thompson pass her a scolding glare.

"That's no way to talk to your mother!" He scolds her.

Martha pulled his shirt to stop him scolding Olivia... Olivia simply pass Martha a deadly glare.

"Gold digging bitch!" She mutters under her breath and storms to her room.

"I haven't seen my son.... Where's Diego?" Thompson asked.

"He went out to meet some friends....."

"That's all he knows!" Grandma cuts Martha off. "He knows nothing about his father's company... What a waste!"

"Mom, Diego is still very young....."

"Still very young? What about Olivia? She's just 23 but she knows everything about the company and can manage it well" grandma said.

"But Mom, 23 and 19... There's a huge difference"

"What's the difference?!"..

Thompson sighed... He knew his mother never approved of his marriage to Martha and always picks on Martha... but he tries his best to protect her.

He got up and helped Martha up.

"Come, let's go to our room... I'll clean up your wound" he said referring to the small cut on Martha's finger.

"Oh, and Diego... I think he's too young to own a car, maybe you should....."

Thompson groan loudly.

"Mom, please! Diego is my only son! He deserves whatever he owns now.... And besides, Olivia had her own car when she turned eighteen!" With that he leads Martha away. Grandma stands and watch him unbelievably until he's out of sight.

"Unbelievable!" She exclaimed.

she sits angrily and flips the table in front of her.

**********

Thompson helps Martha sits on their bed and fetched the first aid kit.

"Thompson, you didn't have to talk back at mom" Martha queried him.

"I have to, she was being biased.

Martha sighs weakly.

"You can't blame her, have you forgotten how I came into this household?"

Thompson stop cleaning her wound and sits next to her.... He takes her hand in his.

"No matter how you came, but since you are already my wife, mom have to give you the respect you deserve!" He state firmly.

Martha smiled at his statement.

"You are too good for me" she said.

"No! I'm just lucky to have met you... Don't mind mom or Olivia, this is your home!"

Martha nods... but deep down she knows this isn't her home.

She's just like a passerby here.
