Just as I sat down at my desk, I saw Judas walk into Olivia's office. Moments later, he came out grinning. She probably coaxed him again.
Near noon, Olivia came over to ask me a financial question, while observing my expression the entire time.
Seeing no reaction from me, Olivia threw a box onto my desk, "This is a gift I brought you from Hawaii. You were being moody yesterday, so I forgot to give it to you. As for the marriage registration, I had Judas reschedule it for us."
My hand paused slightly on the mouse. Judas rescheduled it.
Last time he made a show of it to provoke me. What about next time? Strangely, I was actually looking forward to it.
A Chanel gift box, but the ribbon was gone. I opened it, it was a cufflink, but several of the diamonds had fallen off.
Olivia used to bring me exquisite or branded gifts every time she traveled. But after Judas appeared, I only got his unwanted secondhand, cheap stuff.
"Thanks." I didn't even lift my eyes as I closed the box and tossed it into the trash.
"What do you mean by that!" Olivia's patience was wearing thin.
I looked her straight in the eyes, "Olivia, I'm not so broke that I need to wear someone else's used goods."
