Olivia kept staring into his eyes. Sheepishly, Eugene explained, “I just got out of the police station when you called. And I ran into her by chance before someone fired a gun. After that, I was just going to get a cab for her. Hayes is my friend-I can’t possibly let his cousin get hurt. Don’t take this the wrong way, okay?”
She remained staring at him long and hard as she asked, “You sure you share no other relationships with her?” He shook his head. “No, I swear. I never had any ideas about her. Please believe me, Olivia.”
“Then, why are you so nervous?” Her eyes were still on him. With resignation in his voice, he said, “I’m just worried you might read too much into it.”
The look on Olivia’s face had turned slightly better after she saw how nervous he had gotten. “Fine. As long as you’re okay. So, where are we going?”
Eugene answered, “To the company. Wanna come?” She responded, “No. I’m going back. My flight’s in the afternoon.” He had a feeling that she had something on her mind, and he was worried. “I’m coming with you, then.”
Surprised, she asked, “Did you finish your work?”
“The case is closed. Curtis can handle the rest.” She looked at him in silence. She knew he hadn’t finished his work just yet. He lied because he wanted to be with her, and it melted her fury away just a bit. “Just head to the company and finish your work. Jewel and I will pack up. After that, we’ll meet up and go to the airport together.”
