Chapter 2618: Chapter 2627: Intentionally Provoking Him
Backstage, Adam Sinclair was already prepared to go look for someone when Olivia Lewis walked in.
"Why did it take you so long?" Adam pressed down on her shoulder and asked.
Olivia didnât mention Alexander Sinclair coming to harass her. "It wasnât that long. Makeup naturally takes time."
Without doubting her words, Adam glanced at the time, took her hand, and his peach blossom eyes brimmed with a smile. "Itâs about time. Are you ready?"
Olivia lowered her eyes to look at his firm grip on her hand. Her beautiful eyes stabilized a lot, and a smile played at her lips, alluring and silky, "It seems like you need to be more prepared than I do, Investor~"
Anyway, she was now a star enchanting a super rich familyâs young master; she only needed to play her role as a beautiful facade.
Adam wished he could kiss her teasing red lips, but unfortunately, there were too many people around. His Adamâs apple moved with restraint, and his hand holding Oliviaâs wrist tightened an inch. "Are you sure you want to provoke me now?"
"Did I provoke you? How come I donât know?" Oliviaâs eyes sparkled, her pretty face innocent, yet her little finger subtly tickled Adamâs palm.
A tingling sensation rippled through Adamâs palm, and his eyes suddenly darkened. He tightened his grip on Oliviaâs wrist further and warned in a low voice, "Donât court death."
"If Iâm pretty and donât use it, isnât it a waste of this face?" Olivia knew there was no way he would do anything to her in front of so many people, so she dared to tempt fate recklessly. When she had a chance, she would seize it; thatâs her style.
Adam pressed his thin lips together tightly; the spot her little finger brushed felt like it was burning, the fire seeping into his heart. His eyes were aflame, as if he wanted to devour Olivia whole. But Olivia pretended not to notice, doing whatever she pleased.
"Investor, if you donât want me to act up, is it because Iâm not beautiful enough?" She did it on purpose. Who told him to pressure her to come here, leading to that disgusting encounter with Alexander Sinclair earlier? She needed to torment him a little, to vent. "It shouldnât be; every year I make the list of beautiful stars in the magazines, showing Iâm decent looking. Besides, if I werenât pretty, you wouldnât be funding me."
She concluded, "...So I am quite pretty~"
Her self-admiration wasnât annoying in the least, but rather adorable owing to the mischief in her eyes.
Adam heard the sound of a string about to snap in his brain, one marked with poise and restraint. His Adamâs apple moved as he tightened his grip on Oliviaâs hand even more. "Iâm not funding you. Right now, youâre funding me."
Olivia blinked and pouted, "Iâm funding you? Investor, are you joking? Iâm about to be unemployed; how can I fund you?"
"Youâre indeed funding me." Adamâs deep eyes were filled with mischief, his reasoning twisted. "Every time I return home, I stay at your place. Utilities, property management, as well as food and necessities, all on you. Who do you think is funding whom now?"
Olivia suddenly realized, oh my, he was right.
Her first reaction was, "Can I stop funding?"
Adamâs eyes abruptly darkened as he held her tight, threateningly closing in. "No way! If you start, you fund until the contract ends."
He owns such a vast business empire yet forces her to support himâshameless! Olivia said helplessly, "Alright, so how long is the contract duration?"
