Rebit of a Flopped Actress: Career First, Love Second Chapter 44 Handsome Man Fresh Out of the Shower Vance, trying to deflect, stammered, âWe were just on the way...â
âOn the way?â Liam raised an eyebrow, picking up the cane beside him.
Cold sweat broke ou t all over Vanceâs back.
Mearls With how much Liam doted on Olivia, there was no way heâd dare admit he was trying to sign er to his company.
âCough, Grandpa, I just think Olivia is truly an extraordinary girl!â
Hearing this, Liamâs stern expression softened considerably.
âOf course, Livi is the best young woman Iâve ever met. Itâs just your big brother who doesnât know how to appreciate her.â
Vance quietly exhaled in relief.
âYes, yes, Grandpa. Big Brother doesnât cherish her, but itâs okayâwe can help!â
Vance didnât believe Olivia had genuinely lost interest in Alexander. She probably just didnât trust herself to win him over.
So, Vance decided to prove his abilities through action!
Liam nodded in agreement. âWhatâs your plan?â
Vance leaned in, whispering conspiratorially into Liamâs ear.
Meanwhile, Olivia arrived at the bedroom. Seeing the plush bed, she flopped onto it without hesitation.
âAh, perfect!â she sighed.
In her past life, how had she been so foolish to hope Alexander would show up?
Having the whole bed to herselfâwasnât that far better?
Pulling out her phone, Olivia checked on the stock she had purchased earlier.
It was still glowing green like a neon light, but in two weeks, it would be so red itâd bleed profits.
As she focused on her phone, a sudden sound of footsteps caught her attention. She instinctively turned her head, only to see...

Pearls Fresh from the shower, Alexander wore nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist. Droplets of water gleamed on his damp hair, rolling down to his prominent collarbone, then trailing along his firm chest and sculpted abs before disappearing beneath the towel.
For a moment, Olivia was stunned.
What is going on?
Why is Alexander here?
her past life, he wouldâve been in the study by now!
Alexander froze briefly upon seeing Olivia. Without a word, he toweled his hair dry and took a seat on a nearby chair.
Not long ago, this woman had drugged him. Since then, sheâd been distant, almost indifferent, as if sheâd had a change of heart.
Now, Olivia was sprawled on the bed, stretching her body, facing a freshly showered Alexander. The scene was enough to spark anyoneâs imagination.
To Alexander, it felt like a deliberate act of seduction.
But Olivia quickly bolted upright.
âDonât get the wrong idea! I didnât know youâd be here! I thought youâd be in the study.â
Alexander looked at her impassively. He had intended to head to the study after his shower.
How did she know?
âYou use the bathroom first. Iâll leave,â Olivia said hastily, walking to the door. She grabbed the handle, intending to leave and avoid any misunderstanding.
However...
No matter how she twisted the knob, the locked door wouldnât budge.
âWhatâs going on?â she muttered.
âThe door wonât open,â Alexander said, approaching her. His tall frame loomed behind her as he reached out to try the handle himself. Despite his strength, the door remained firmly shut.
âItâs locked from the outside,â Alexander noted casually.
Trapped between the door and Alexander, Olivia felt the faint heat radiating from his body, sending her nerves into overdrive.
âIâll call someone to unlock it,â Alexander said, stepping back.

âNo need to thank me!â
Heâs lost his mind.
