She Accepted Divorce He Panicked (Scarlett and Sebastian) novel Chapter 166

Damian’s POV

I frown at the sight, confused, too.

I got her 10,000$ in that fight last time. I didn’t dare give her more because she might get suspicious. So when she didn’t return to the black fight club, I took that as the money being enough to cover whatever problem she was having. So why is she doing another part-time? At such a place no less?!

“You don’t work your people too hard, do you?” Oliver says with a sarcastic tone, “I knew there was a dark side in that girl! Not to brag but... I told you soooo.”

I click my tongue at him, and he raises both his hands but rolls his eyes at the same time.

Oliver doesn’t like Lilith for some reason. He keeps calling her my pet because he sees her as a gold digger. Well, he sees all women around me as gold diggers, and most of the time, I agree with him. But he is wrong about Lilith. She has something special in her. I don’t know why he can’t see that.

“Since your surprises are not coming anyway--” I stand up, sorting my suit. Maybe I should just ask her if I could help in any way. Oliver was joking, but her job is actually not that light.

“Where are you going?!” Oliver pulls me into the sofa, hiding from Lilith, “You need to see her true color, once and for all! I’m telling you! She is not all that innocent and kind. No one is!”

“I--”

“Shushhhhhhhh!” Oliver covers my mouth, hissing, “She’s coming!”

With the both of us tangling together on the sofa and his hands around my face, now I don’t want Lilith to see me like this! We keep our heads low and Lilith passes us without noticing anything. The bar has only dim lights with the DJ loud and lively, pumping our hearts with the thunder like drum. Some girl talks to Lilith on her way and they laugh together, looking like they know each other pretty well.

So today is not Lilith’s first day, to say the least.

“She’s not like that!” I push Oliver off me, getting annoyed with a shred of guilt -- I don’t take Lilith as the gold digger type, but he just made me do the opposite.
