New Life

Chapter 5

Paul pov

For a month now I have been concentrating on work with difficulty. Why she doesn't accept the flowers and return my gifts? The good thing is that she keeps the letters. In other words, I hope she keeps them and doesn't throw them away. I sit more and more late in the office stuck at work to think about it less. I'm not angry with her, I understand her. And I will follow everyone's advice. I will insist because she deserves it. I hear a knock on the door "Come in" I see William my assistant coming in. He gave me the papers I asked for. "Will you go out for lunch or order" I look at him, I usually eat in the office but today I need to go out. Maybe I should go to Tyler, he knows my situation and maybe he will help. "I'll go out, I'll be at Tyler if you need something, call me," I tell him and take my jacket. I enter the elevator and go down to the lobby. coming out of the elevator and I see the one I thought I would never see here alone without Paul. She only comes with him to see his parents. Nina tells her that I do not accept anyone without an appointment. What the f**k who put her in charge who will I see? Olivia thinks for a moment "It's about his nephew, Mr. Bailey's son"

“I'm sorry. I can't let you in without an appointment” It's been a long time that I want to fire her, and now I found an occasion.

"When did I give you such an order Nina?" she sees me and changes her color.

"Mr. Knight, I ...."

"Gather your things and go through the accounting department for your compensation. They keep complaining to me about you and now I see you refusing to enter a Bailey family member who asks to see me for my nephew. Who gave you the right? In the accounting now. " I turn to the security guard

"Make sure she leaves the building in half an hour. And call William to find someone for the reception" he nodded and I turn to Olivia who is looking at me with wide eyes. She is wearing a black dress with a blue thin cardigan, a backpack, and flat shoes. So beautiful. Her perfect auburn hair is free on her shoulders. "I'm going to Tyler for lunch. Come and tell me what you need" I say with a smile and she nods. Tyler's restaurant is five minutes away so we walked. On the way, we said only the formalities. We sat at the table, Tyler came to greet us and took our orders. Olivia got chicken and I got steak.

"Is Paul okay?"

"Yes, he's fine. I'm sorry I used him but she wouldn't let me go up and I guessed if it was about him maybe she would let me see you" I smile at her and reach out to hold hers.

"I'm glad you came. The truth is that I didn't expect you to come and see me."

"Neither did I. I had a conversation with a person and she convinced me to give you a chance. I have doubts but I am willing to try." she smiles sweetly at me. I want to kiss her so much. "Why do you want to be with me? You have grown up very different from me. There are beautiful and well-to-do girls in your circle. Why me?" she asks me. Straight to the point, I like it. I take a deep breath

"I don't know. You don't choose who you will fall in love with. I just saw you and from that day you are the only one I think of. As for the women who are in my circle. These are not you. It's like I have all the stars but I want only one, to have the ocean and to want a drop, to have the whole world but to want only one person, you "she smiles at me

"I don't know why you. But from all over the world I saw you, my heart chose you. I want you to tell me if you feel the same. In our kiss, I understood that you want me to but then you sent back the flowers and the gifts and that confused me" At that time the food arrived. She takes a deep breath and tells me

"Do you know what was the first thing I thought when I first saw you and then when you hugged Paul at the party?"

"What did you thought?" I ask her

"Who is this god? I was looking at your hands and as soon as you hugged Paul I wondered how I would feel with those hands around me" Olivia tells me and blushes. I chuckled and she says again

"I like you very much. The truth is that for the first time in my life I was fascinated by a man, at school I didn't pay attention to the boys. I wanted a university scholarship. Then I wanted to get a good degree. Then my mom got sick so I had to focus there. I don't know what relations you had before me, which you would surely have with this appearance, but for me, until today only you aroused my interest. But .... "

“Stop there. I know what you will say. Let me clarify something for you. I never bothered in my relationships about finances and origin. They never mattered to me. To me, you are a wonderful girl who sacrifices herself for those she loves and if you accept me in your life I know that I will be the luckiest person in the world. I want to ask something? Does it matter to you that I am much older than you? Or do you just think what people will say? " She looks at me

"Age does not concern me. You are a very charming man, I told you before that I saw you as a god" she giggled

"My only issue is that you are .... you, the vice president of a large company and I am nobody, a nanny without studies and with a sick mother. People will say that I am taking advantage of you. For me it doesn't matter, I am used to such things. But the point is, they're going to gossip about you, too." she looks at me and lowers her head, and continues to eat. I found the woman of my life and she thinks I care what the rest of the world will say. And what does it mean that she is used to being talked about badly. Who could malign such a wonderful person? "Olivia?" she raises her head and looks at me. "I have been waiting for a woman to start a family for several years. Other women wanted something casual, others wanted to be with me for my status. And I found the only woman who wants me for me but hates my prestige. I was waiting for you. A woman wants me for Paul. No Paul Knight " she laughs

"It's not that I hate your job and your prestige. If I were someone important I wouldn't even think about it ...." I stop her "You are important, I told you before. You got a scholarship, it means that you are a very smart person, you sacrifice for those you love and you are talented. You have many gifts, as long as you believe in them. If you could see yourself the way I see you I would have no doubts. " She smiles at me

“Ok, I guess I can give you a chance if you want it so much "

“I want it very much. “

“Then I can't say no. Paul won't talk to me again if he finds out I upset you," she says and we laugh.

"We wouldn't want that" we talked for a while until she said she had to go get Paul from school.

"Do you have a car to go to school?" "Yes, I will call Jack, he is our driver"

"Well, I will wait with you until he comes" she went to pay but I didn't let her..

"When will I see you again?" I ask her immediately as soon as we go out. I pull her aside and hold both of her hands, tangling our fingers. She raises her head and looks at me.

"I don't know. Sophia and Kevin are on a trip now. I have time only in the mornings until Paul finishes school. You work in the mornings so it's a bit difficult "

‘’How about you come for lunch every day and when I finish early and I will come to see you and Paul at home. And as soon as the guys come back I will arrange to have some time together "she seems skeptical

"You said you would give it a try," I look at her and she smiles

"Ok, we will wait for you at home," she says and gives me a small kiss on the lips. Before I say anything

"I'm leaving now Jack has arrived" and she leaves in a hurry. A few more hours and I will see her again. My Olivia.
