Chapter 14

"Miss Olivia! Miss Olivia! Miss, please answer this question. What's the truth about your relationship status...," the paparazzi came onto Olivia, attempting to have their way but her bodyguards were quick enough to block them away from her and create a pathway for her to get into the company.

The harassment from them had been going on for the three days now and Olivia couldn't wait for it to be over. They were literally everywhere she went, waiting for her and asking her the same questions concerning her upcoming marriage.

It was as if her privacy had been taken from her and nothing annoyed her more than having her private life become a topic of discussion for the public.

"Fucking hell!" she muttered underneath her breath as soon as she stepped into the office.

"Mia, what do I have scheduled for today? Am I packed?" she asked her personal assistant.

"Yes you are ma'am. First, you have a lunch date scheduled with your fiancé and after that, you have to visit the construction site and check on the progress of the foundation. Once both schedules are met, you'll be free for the rest of the day ma'am," Mia informed.

The word fiancé still sounded very strange to Olivia's ears. She wasn't used to it yet and she doubted if she'd be getting used to it anytime soon. She still sometimes wondered how her life went from having and wanting no relationship to having a fiance all in the space of about two weeks.

"Noted," she said calmly before walking into her office.

"How do you really feel about everything that's happening bro? I mean, this has to be a lot to take in at once," Steven, Scott's long time friend said, wearing a worried look on his face.

"To be honest with you Steve, I really don't know how to feel about it. It's all still so surreal, you know? Like, I still can't fully digest the fact that it's actually happening. You of all people knows that for the longest time, I've had the biggest crush on Olivia and now that she's suddenly so close and all of this is happening so quickly, I still find it hard to believe," he explained with a sheepish grin on his face and Steven couldn't help but chuckle at how love struck his friend was.

"That's how it always is buddy. When you wish for something for too long and finally get it in a weird and unexpected way, you find it hard to believe but not to sound negative or make you feel bad but you're clear on the fact that it's a fake marriage right?" Steven remembered, hoping his friend hadn't gone too far with his happy thoughts.

Scott pinched the bridge of his nose as soon as Steven reminded him. There was absolutely no way he could forget that important fact but he still didn't want to think too much about it so that his mood doesn't get ruined.

"Trust me buddy, I am very much aware of the fact that I'm getting into a fake marriage with her but at the same time, I'm also aware of the fact that I have a year and six months to make it into a real one. Steven, now that I have this chance to actually get this close to her and be an active part of her life, I won't just let it all end without trying to get her to show her how I really feel. You know how much I have longed for this woman. Sometimes, my weird liking for her even scares me cause you have no idea how far I can go for this woman and I mean this in a not obsessive way," Scott admitted.
