Page 67 of See You Maybe

Declan’s lips twitched. “Pretty sure that has to be a female.”

Olivia turned the full force of her glare on him. “Have you seen your eyelashes lately? They're longer than most women’s” She turned to face forward again, only to realize he was still holding her wine and purse.

Damn it! He makes me crazy.

The line moved forward, but their line mate still gaped at them. “I would kill for eyelashes like that.”

It was Olivia’s turn to smirk. “My point exactly.”

The woman looked horrified. “Not that it’s feminine on you… I mean, you are very masculine… I mean…” The woman looked like she wanted to fall through the floor.

“Thank you.” Declan sounded pained.

Good.

“The line’s moving.” Olivia lifted her chin to indicate the woman should move up. She was being rude, but really? This was the last thing she needed tonight.

“In a hurry?”

“Yes,” she bit out.

“I’m not.”

Why did he sound so friendly? She looked suspiciously at him over her shoulder.

“I’m heading to my sister’s for Christmas cocktails,” he added.

“That’s sweet. I’m Vanessa, by the way,” the woman said, clearly not willing to give up. “I’m close to my family too.”

“Maybe we should swap places.” Olivia said with a tight smile. “You two probably have a lot in common.”

The woman’s eyes lit up, but Declan spoiled her escape by saying. “But I have all your stuff.”

“You could just hand them to me.” Olivia bared her teeth at him, pretending it was a smile.

A mischievous light shone in his eyes, and for a second, she forgot to breathe. Because he looked like her Declan.

“Where is the chivalry in that, Rose?”

Olivia ground her teeth.

Vanessa frowned. “Oh, you know each other.”

“No,” Olivia said, at the same time Declan said, “We work together.”

“No, we don’t, and we never will.”

The light disappeared, along with his playful expression. “Explain.” He snapped, his expression darkening.

Eyes rounding, Vanessa spun and took a few steps closer to the person in front of her.

A stabbing pain started behind Olivia’s right eye. She shouldn’t have said anything. It wasn’t like her to make mistakes like that. This is his fault, she thought, scowling.

“Your board said they would let us know of the decision the week after Christmas.” Declan’s tone sent chills down her spine as he slipped into full billionaire boss mode.

“Let you know, not make our decision.” Olivia rubbed at her eye. “Look, I shouldn’t have said anything, but I guess it doesn’t matter now. The board voted this afternoon. We will be accepting the Bloom Communications’ offer.”

Declan’s jaw worked back and forth, and his eyes turned black. “We haven’t given our response to the questions you sent over.”
