CHAPTER 043
ADRIAN’S POV
“Don’t make this too complicated, just go to the guest room, and let’s end this,” I said, trying to make Dora understand.
“So what was the point of me coming here if I can’t spend the night with you?” Doral snapped, her arms crossed tightly against her chest.
I tried to hide the irritation on my face when she said that, but I knew it showed. Why was I feeling this way though?
Dora might think I was taking Olivia’s side, but the truth was, tomorrow was a busy day for me, and I needed enough sleep. Knowing Olivia, she wouldn’t give up easily, so to end this faster, I just needed to push Dora out.
“Look, I know the time you spent here was limited but…”
“But nothing! You just want to use that as an excuse to sleep with her,” Dora rudely “But nothing! You just interrupted me, her voice rising.
Yup, now I see why I slowly lost interest in her. She loved to nag, She was way too Jealous and always took little matters to the extreme.
“Like that would ever happen,” I heard Olivia say with a bitter tone, rolling her eyes.
At this point, I was done. Should I just grab my pillow and head over to my library to sleep there? At least then, I wouldn’t have to deal with this nonsense. But if I did that, d be leaving the two of them alone, and a fight would surely break out. And I don’t want Olivia’s parents thinking something else
I walked up to Dora and held both her hands, trying to settle this quickly.
“Just do this for me, okay? My accountant will send you something,” I said in a calm
but firm voice.
Dora narrowed her eyes, clearly considering my offer. Then, after a long pause, she smirked. “On one condition,” she said.
“What’s that?” I asked.
“A date. Me and you,” she said, tilting her head slightly, watching my reaction closely.
If that would keep both of them from tearing the roof off, then fine.
“Fine,” I said without giving it much thought.

Dora rolled her eyes but didn’t argue. She knew she was winning something out of this. Without another word, she turned not because she got a date, but L

the door. I knew she was happy, ked! ig to receive money.
Unlike Olivia, who didn’t appreciate anything.
As soon as Dora left, the air in the room felt lighter, like something had been lifted.
Finally, peace for the night. I let out a deep sigh and turned to Olivia.
“You better get some sleep. You’ll need it for tomorrow,” I said, then went to my side of the bed and lay down.
A few seconds later, Olivia climbed onto the bed as well. I could feel her presence, even though I wasn’t facing her.
Just as I thought we were done for the night, I switched off the lights finally ready to sleep but then
Olivia yanked the duvet off me with force.
I turned to face her, giving her a look.
“What? Would you have preferred if it was Dora here instead?” she said back, her arms crossed.
Moments later, I felt her shifting around, and when I peeked over my shoulder, I saw her stacking small pillows between us.
“I’ll see you on our date.”
I glanced around the place and finally found her in the kitchen. She was… cooking?
