Chapter 503: The World (shaking head in exasperation)

Seb finally gathered his bearings and quickly pulled Olivia onto his lap. Thankfully, she had an explanation for the entire fiasco. Or he dared not imagine how he would have explained everything else.

Olivia threw her arms around Seb and gently rubbed the back of his neck. He was so tensed. Even though she was teasing him about his look, she’d also seen the panic in his eyes when he saw her... And that was after handing Vivienne over to...And that reminded her...

Quickly, she poked her finger into his shoulder," Why did you push Vivienne into Rosie’s arms? I mean, what did you think you were doing? Playing ’pass the parcel’?"

Seb moved away from Olivia and looked up into her eyes, giving her a sheepish grin," Something like that... What was I supposed to do? I had no idea how to handle her so I passed her to him so that he can handle her."

"How can you say that, Seb? I mean, Rosie handles all these kinds of things also for you? I mean I know he takes your place for events etc, but how could you..."

Seb grinned at Olivia’s indignation. She really thought that he’d ’passed off’ Vivienne to Rosie who was now ’consoling’ her on his behalf.

"Hey! What are you thinking? He is not doing that for me, alright? He is interested in Vivienne. They’re dating?"

Olivia looked at him wide eyed as shocked as he had been a few minutes ago..."You’re telling me that your secretary is dating Vivienne?"

"Yes."

"And you knew this?" Olivia asked again.

"No. I came to know just recently." Seb answered, not telling her that he’d come to know barely an hour ago... at the police station.

"And she is not using him to get information on you? And spy on you?" Olivia asked askance.

"He can’t be sure about that yet. But he is being careful." Seb defended his poor assistant. Of course he had asked the same question.

Olivia shook her head," He must enjoy walking the edge! So you passed her into his arms because he is her boyfriend?"

"He’s not her boyfriend. They’ve gone out on a few dates but he is looking for that position... yes. So I helped him along."

Olivia nodded, still amazed at Seb. Did he hold no grudges against Vivienne. She’d done so much against him, even when they had broken up, she’d tried to seduce him, to malign his name and ruin his reputation and yet here he was, cool as a cucumber, passing her into the arms of a good man.

Suddenly, she realized... he was more ’idealistic’ than she remembered him to be. Gosh! No wonder Lucien always insisted that Seb was the perfect PR to enhance their positive image. The man had such conviction in everyone’s good that he didn’t see the bads...

No.. that was wrong. He did see the ’bads’, he just chose to overlook them. The only time he had refused to look at the positive points only was in her case... When he chose to only beleive the worst. Uh oh! She needed to protect this man from her and himself.

"Livi? What are you thinking?" Seb asked slowly.

Olivia shook her head,"Nothing. I think I should leave. You have the brand launch coming up and I’ve taken too much of your time..."

"What too much time? This is the first time you’ve officially visited me.. You need to stay here."

"But..."

"No buts! Now that you are here, I need you to protect me from any more rumors. I’ve barely extracted myself from being linked with Emma and now Vivienne.. I just need to take a look at the office chat and I know they’ll all be wondering... why a pregnant woman and half crying woman came to see me.. And the PR department is all about spinning stories... so everything is going to be super colourful..."

There was a sudden knock on the door and before Olivia could scramble off his lap, Lucien and Ian had opened the door wide open and entered the room.

"Sister-in- law!" The two called out loudly, solving Seb’s problem with a few words as they quickly marched to her. Ian ruffled her hair, earnign a glare from her while Lucien leaned down and kissed her cheek, before murmuring, " Hows my Godchild doing?"

Neither of the men bothered to close the door or lower their voices so that all those busily eavesdropping would know the identity of the woman.

With a grin, Seb high fived Ian and Lucien while Olivia pushed at Seb’s arm to let go of her and quickly moved to close the door.

"What is wrong with you guys?" Olivia rolled her eyes and glared at them.

"Well, we heard the gossip so of course we had to come and check this scene out! They are out there discussing about how, the boss has two women. And the second one was crying because the first one was pregnant. Or something like that.."

"Also, your next appointment- Emma, has entered the building, so they are waiting for a something explosive..."

Seb cursed. "Dam* it! These people are too idle! I need to put them to more work! Maybe I’ll fire a few people so that the others all drown in work."

"Oh please! It is their curisity for gossip that has you controlling all the pulse points in the company. And we helped you overcome the obstacle, didn’t we. Now everyone knows Olivia is sister in law. Just kiss her once when you escort her to the elevator and then there will be no doubts."

Seb nodded," That is an awesome plan! Good! Well done brothers!"

"Ha! As if we did that for you to pat our backs. We want a confirmation that we will be the godfathers to both kids."

"Because I am the older one, I’ll be Godfather to your older one and Lucy can take the younger one."

Seb snapped his mouth shut at that. He was not giving any such promises. And why were they dividing his babies as if they were grocery? If he agreed to Ian and Lucien’s idea, he’d be murdered by Gabe, Erasmi and Demetri... Then his kids would have Godfathers but no father...
