Olivia instinctively took a step back at Vincent’s sudden approach, assuming he had ill intentions
toward her.
Vincent’s movement paused at her retreat. His lips curved into a smile as amusement filled his eyes.
Awkwardness flooded Olivia as she realized she had made a fool of herself.
Fortunately, the phone rang, indicating she had received a new message.
Olivia lowered her gaze and tapped on the screen to check.
Kimberly had sent her a WhatsApp voice message. Olivia nned to listen to itter, but her finger
identally tapped it, ying the message loudly.
Kimberly’s gentle and pleasant voice sounded. “How did it go? I’m sure the young men were awestruck
with you dressed in the clothing I’ve painstakingly prepared. Don’t let me down tonight.”
When Olivia finally realized what she had done, she frantically tapped on the phone. Everyone was the
same. The more panicked one was, the more clumsy they were.
When she finally muted her phone, Kimberly’s message had finished ying.
Not only did the embarrassment earlier not ease, but another wave of mortification had washed over
her.
A sheepish look crossed Olivia’s face as her blush deepened. She felt a little light- headed about the
situation.
Vincent walked past her and turned around, stopping abruptly in front of her. Absent- minded, Olivia
identally bumped into him.
With a small smile, Vincent held her chin and teased, “Which young man do to seduce, dressed so
beautifully?”

His tricky question caused her anxiety to re. Olivia pped away the hand on her jaw.
She feigned calm, but her mouth opened and closed in silence. In the end, she quickened her pace,
trotting to the outdoor activity area.
Vincent touched his hand and smiled dotingly. He thought, ‘She’s quite strong despite

her looks.’
Looking at Olivia fleeing, he wasn’t in a rush to catch up to her. Instead, he stopped to watch.
He mused, ‘Judging from Olivia’s reaction earlier, I sensed that she also felt something for me but was
avoiding it. I’m a hunter, however, and a persistent one at that.’
Olivia walked swiftly in her heels, asionally looking over her shoulder.
The others were making the preparations for that day’s theme, barbecue.
Various delicacies and liquors were spread across the long tables.
A barbecue grill was set up next to them. Several colleagues diligently waited upon the
rest.
Catching the panicked look on Olivia’s face, Jaxon got up and walked over to her.
“What’s wrong, Ollie? Why are you in such a hurry?” Jaxon asked with a puzzled expression,
asionally peering in the direction she nced.
He didn’t see anyone or anything there.
Olivia frowned and muttered, “I’m fine.”
She was taciturn toward him, not wanting to converse much.
An ufortable feeling welled up within Jaxon. He thought, ‘Has the girl, with a lot of chatter, be
so distant to me?’
A whileter, Vincent came over.
The female employees of Sullivan Group couldn’t control their excitement when he showed up.

“Oh my goodness! Mr. Sullivan is so handsome today!” A couple of love-struck women eximed in a
group. Their gazes were fixed on Vincent.
Olivia silently observed and listened to their cheesy words. She was soon at her limits, though, for
goosebumps had risen all over her skin.
However, Vincent’s gaze had followed Olivia the entire time. The minute she lifted her eyes, her
gaze would meet with his easily.
It was intentional. He knowingly waited for Olivia to look up at him.

The second their eyes met, he would sh a gentle smile at her.

He felt challenged after hearing Kimberly’s words that Olivia intended to seduce young
men.
Jealously had reared its head inside him.
He thought, ‘Since you want to seduce younger men, I’ll be the most handsome one there!’
Vincent looked around and saw attractive men and women everywhere.
He thought, ‘As the CEO, I’ll have to change the rules of personnel recruitment in the future.’
Indeed, he was worried about the fiercepetition, seeing the number of handsome men in the
Then, his gaze swept over Jaxon.
He always had a strange feeling that they were very much alike, apart from their personalities. Jaxon
was more reserved and calm, while he was bold and extroverted.
They shared many simrities in other aspects.
Despite that, he disliked Jaxon because thetter always stared at Olivia.
At that time, he wasn’t aware that the two used to be in a rtionship.
Jaxon sensed Vincent’s dislike and hostility toward him.
However, it didn’t bother him. Instead, he smiled slightly, greeting Vincent.
Jaxon’s gaze thennded on Isabe. Isabe raised her ss at him, making a toast.
They exchanged a knowing nce and smiled.
No one knew why the two, who didn’t have much contact with each other, had suddenly be
friends.
After the toast, it was time for the dance.
Isabe walked toward Vincent gracefully. She proactively invited Vincent to dance the
first dance with her.

Vincent’s signature smile curved across his lips again.
In actuality, he wanted Olivia as his partner for the first dance.
However, she kept avoiding him like a gue.
In that case, he might as well make her jealous.
Isabe was uneasy, for it would be so embarrassing if she were rejected.
The dance was a team-building activity held by thepany.
As her anxiety fluttered, Vincent stretched out his hand like a gentleman.
While Isabe and Vincent danced, several female employees whispered fervently, and some even
regretted not being as bold as Isabe.
Olivia was indifferent as she watched the scene unfold.
Although Vincent had a woman in his arms, he kept ncing at Olivia’s expression discreetly.
Disappointed filled him because he saw Jaxon asking Olivia to dance.
He thought, ‘Cu nning man! Taking advantage of the situation when I’m not there.’
It was apparent that Vincent had regarded Olivia as his.
Olivia didn’t want to have any intimate contact with Jaxon.
However, they were in public when Jaxon asked her. Some people were even cheering and whistling.
She was in a dilemma, stuck between a rock and a hard ce.
If she refused, she would look like she was ying coy. Others would think she was interested in him.
She also wanted to prove that she had moved on.
Hence, she epted Jaxon’s invitation under everyone’s scrutiny.
Jaxon grinned and thought, ‘She’s still the same. I knew she wouldn’t be so cruel to me.’
He nced at Vincent from the corner of his eye, as if to announce that he had won the round.
