The Unforgivable Mate

Chapter 3

Olivia decided to go through the procedures and take her children away. She couldn't leave them behind and get bullied here.

However, the staff of the orphanage rejected her request and told her that it should be done by the guardian of the children.

Dejected, she had to rejoin Elena first and handle her mother's funeral. Back in Austin, she had nowhere to go and had to stay at Elena's house.

"Ollie, do you have any plans for the future?" Elena asked her at the dining table.

Olivia's eyes gleamed with hatred. "Before starting a new life, I have to do something."

"Retaliating against Aiden?" Elena saw through her friend's intentions.

She asked, "Got any plan?"

"Aiden likes to fool around, doesn't he? I'll make him fall on that," Olivia sneered.

She had received a text message from an anonymous sender who claimed that he knew about her grudge against Aiden. He proposed to help her and told her that Aiden would go on a date with his blonde girlfriend at the Starlight Bar tomorrow night.

On the following night...

Olivia arrived at the most popular bar in Austin at the mystery person's invitation. There would be a great show he had prepared for her.

She took her seat in an inconspicuous place and looked at those men and women wiggling their bodies on the dance floor. This club was a hangout for fashionable boys and girls across the city.

Before long, a stunner with wavy hair came in.

Olivia recognized the woman. Emily was sent over by the mystery person to help her take revenge on Aiden.

Emily took her seat at the counter, and the target appeared before long.

Dressed to the nines, Aiden came to the counter and spotted the stunner.

Emily showed a surprised look and leered at Aiden. "Alone, handsome?"

"Good evening, beautiful lady. Do I have the honor to buy you a drink?" Aiden smiled, taking the bait.

He ordered two glasses of wine and placed the wine in front of them.

Emily took a sip of wine, feigned that she was drunk, and leaned forward. Her big boobs brushed against his arm.

Falling for her trick, Aiden wrapped his arm around her and whispered something in her ear.

Taking her chance, she poured laxatives into Aiden's glass, shook it, and said in a sweet voice, "Let's drink and chat."

In the corner, Olivia flashed a smile when she saw Aiden drink the wine.

"Let's talk somewhere else," Aiden whispered to Emily with a smirk.

"What's the rush?" Emily declined, but spotted out of the corner of her eye a blonde woman coming in. She then leaned on Aiden.

The blonde woman rushed over and separated them.

"Aiden! What are you doing?" she snapped. "Didn't you say you only loved me? Who is she?"

Emily looked at Aiden with tearful eyes. "Turns out you're a two-timer!"

"No, I..." Aiden tried to explain but felt a sudden pain in his abdomen, "I need to use the bathroom. I'll explain to you guys later."

The blonde woman wouldn't listen. She grabbed Aiden, refusing to let him go. Emily also came over to his side.

"Nature's call! Babe, I'm not lying. I really need to use the bathroom."

Aiden looked torn. The blonde woman grappled with him and slapped him. A force then landed on his waist. He slipped and fell to the floor.

A force shot out from his butt.

The stench permeated the bar in a flash.

"Holy s**t! Spaying s**t in public! Damn!"

"Holy smokes! Old people shouldn't come to the bar."

Everyone pinched their noses and mocked Aiden.

Emily took the chance to slip away and heard Aiden's cry for the blonde woman to stay.

Olivia, who witnessed the whole thing, tossed off her wine and left with satisfaction.

The mystery person was awesome to hit Aiden on the soft spot and embarrass him in public. Aiden would be notorious here and could not find another date.

After watching the show, Olivia forgot about the man and went to a lush forest. With a smile on her face, she said, "Today is a good day. Rachel, come out and run with me."

"Aroo!"

A howl resounded through the forest, startling the birds into the air.

Olivia was a woman of action. She prepared her resume and applied for jobs. However, no replies came.

When she finally had an interview, the interviewer ended it as soon as he saw her profile.

Crestfallen, Olivia walked down the road. The harsh words of the interviewer echoed in her mind. "Ms. Flores, you received no education and only have a few design drafts of jewelry. It's far below our standards. What's more, you should be clear that our company will not hire anyone with a criminal record."

The statement was harsh, but it was the truth.

Even if there were companies that didn't mind her educational background, few would accept her criminal record.

She walks aimlessly down the road. It had been over a month, but she couldn't find any jobs.

In her dejection, she saw a skyscraper not far ahead. On the dazzling logo were written two words: Taylor Group.

It was a well-known jewelry company in the country.

She couldn't help but walk to the entrance of the building. On the bulletin board, she saw a job posting for a janitor.

Her eyes lit up.

She was eager to work here, even as a janitor. This would be the starting point of her journey to pursue her dreams.

To join the Taylor Group, she decided to conceal Rachel's and her identities. Elena helped her get a fake ID and forged credentials. She was now still Olivia, but her experience was the opposite of her past. Her parents were vendors who funded her study overseas. Later, their business failed, and they were killed in a car accident. She had to come home without completing her college education.

She came to Taylor Group and was led to the recruitment office.

The interviewer had just finished an interview. Olivia took the opportunity to go in and say, "Hello, I'm here to apply for a cleaning job!"

The interviewer looked up in doubt, but his eyes lit up the moment he saw Olivia. He asked with uncertainty, "Are you sure that's what you're applying for?"

"Yes!"

Since the interviewer didn't interrupt her, she started to introduce herself. "My name is Olivia, and I just came to Austin. Due to a family issue, I didn't finish my studies, and I don't have any work experience. I'm willing to start from the grassroots."

To her surprise, the interviewer asked her a few simple questions and then told her that she was hired.

After going through the formalities, Olivia trod on air as she went home.

In good spirits, she went to work on time the next day.

Her colleagues introduced her to her duties, which she soon grasped.

The first task she received today was cleaning the elevators.

The cleaning work began before the working hours, and Olivia started from the regular elevators. Her work went smoothly and undisturbed.

"Olivia, you're catching on fast!" said Susan, a long-time janitor in the company.

"Thanks to you, Susan. You're a good teacher." Not used to her new identity, Olivia was a bit slow to react. Fortunately, the work was pretty much the same as what she did in prison, and thus she was able to catch on fast.

"Go ahead with your work. I'm going to clean the dedicated elevator for our CEO. I should hurry and not let him smell the disinfectant water, or I'll be fined."

"Okay. I'll wait for you on the 20th floor!" Olivia smiled. After finishing her task, she would rejoin Susan to clean the conference room.

On the 20th floor, she came out of the elevator but tripped over several cardboard boxes.

The files in them were scattered around. She groaned, put the cleaning tools aside, and squatted down to pick them up.

A ding came from the elevator behind her. Thinking it was Susan, she looked back with a smile.

The elevator door opened, but what she met was a pair of dark, deep eyes.

With his hands in his pockets, the big man in a black suit was surprised to see Olivia.

She felt his awful air in spite of the distance.

But the elevator door closed before she could react.

Instead of dwelling on that, she sorted out the files and put them back in the boxes.

In the elevator...

The man wrinkled his brows as the image he had seen earlier resurfaced in his mind. That short-haired woman was squatting sideways and revealing her beautiful profile. Her mouth was agape when she saw him. She looked at a scared hare.

He was in a momentary daze because her delicate face rang a bell.

"John, find out who that woman is."
