( Olivia's POV ) " I have an appointment with my colleagues this afternoon to visit the colleague who was injured during the knife attack last time , " I explained softly , adjusting the silk scarf around my neck . Connor immediately nodded , his ice - blue eyes warming with consideration . " I'll have Henry prepare some fruit baskets , flowers , and nutritional supplements .

" Without refusing his kindness , I nodded . " Alright . " Moments later , the hotel staff delivered a brand new set of women's clothing - a cream - colored blouse and tailored navy slacks that fit me perfectly . I couldn't help but wonder how Connor had managed to get my exact size . When I finished changing and was about to leave , Connor suddenly pulled me back with a gentle tug on my wrist . " Wait , " he said , his voice low . I looked at him , puzzled . " What is it ?

" Connor smiled with a hint of mischief and pointed at my neck . Confused , I walked over to the vanity and looked into the mirror . I sharply inhaled at what I saw . Several purplish marks dotted my neck , unmistakable evidence of our night together . Heat rushed to my face as I turned around and glared at him coquettishly . " Why did you leave hickeys here ? " I demanded , trying to sound stern despite my embarrassment . Connor rubbed his nose , chuckling .

" Not just there ." My eyes widened in horror . " What do you mean ' not just there ' ? " " Check your collarbone ," he suggested with a smirk . I quickly pulled my blouse aside and gasped at the trail of marks . " Connor Rivers ! O < 1/4 < Chapter 42 Pack Bonds a How am I supposed to see anyone like this ? " " I'll have someone bring over a silk scarf , " he offered , not looking the least bit apologetic . I sighed in resignation . " I guess that's the only way . " * 15 Points ?

After twenty minutes spent tidying up and ensuring all evidence of our passionate night was properly concealed , we finally headed downstairs . In the underground parking lot , Frank Langley was already waiting beside a luxury SUV . His expression remained professionally neutral , though I wondered if he could guess what had transpired between Connor and me .

Opening the trunk , Frank revealed several carefully prepared fruit baskets , bouquets of fresh flowers , and high - quality nutritional supplements . " Mr. Rivers , here are the items you instructed me to bring , " he reported efficiently . Connor nodded approvingly , inspecting the items . I was touched by his thoughtfulness and the speed with which he'd arranged everything . " Thank you , Frank ," I said sincerely . Frank replied courteously , " It's nothing , Miss Winters .

" Frank took his place in the driver's seat while Connor and I settled in the back . As the vehicle pulled away from the hotel , I tugged nervously at the silk scarf , still uneasy about the marks beneath . " Is it covered well enough ? " I whispered , leaning closer to Connor . " Can they still see ? " Connor's lips curved with a teasing smile as he adjusted the scarf slightly . " Don't worry . It's perfectly hidden .

" His fingers lingered against my skin , sending a shiver down my spine that had nothing to do with the air conditioning . After a fifteen - minute drive through the busy streets of Harbor City , the SUV stopped at the hospital entrance . I stepped out , circled around to the trunk , and picked up a fruit basket . ||| 2/4 O < * Chapter 42 Pack Bonds a " I'll call you later , " I told Connor through the open window . He nodded , his ice - blue eyes intense . " Take care , Livvy .

" +15 Points > The car drove away , leaving me standing alone at the entrance with the gift basket in my arms . Shortly after , I spotted Valerie Pierce from Moonlaw Legal Services approaching . Her sharp gaze swept over me , lingering on the silk scarf and the expensive fruit basket I carried . " Oh , did I see correctly ? Just now you stepped down from a luxury SUV ? " she asked , her tone dripping with curiosity . I frowned slightly at her prying . " Yes , what about it ?

" Valerie sneered strangely , her eyes narrowing . " I didn't expect that from you , Lawyer Winters . " Marcus Wilson appeared beside her , his expression eager for gossip . " Lawyer Winters , who was that ? " he asked , not bothering to hide his nosiness . " My boyfriend , " I answered frankly , seeing no reason to hide my relationship with Connor . Marcus burst out laughing as if I'd told a particularly amusing joke . Valerie's tone dripped with sarcasm as she exchanged glances with him .

" Oh , boyfriend ? Hahaha , sure , we understand ," she said with exaggerated understanding . Disregarding their odd attitudes , I carried the fruit basket towards the ward . Their behavior was strange , but I had more important things to focus on than office . politics . Behind me , I could hear Valerie's whispered words to Marcus . " That man in the luxury SUV must be her sugar daddy . No wonder she splurged treating the whole firm to lunch at Moonlight Manor on her first day .

Turns out she has a backer . " Marcus nodded eagerly . " Exactly , I was wondering how she dared spend so much. Now it all makes sense ! "
