Chapter 142 Mr Wilson Has a Woman
Finished
Olivia’s voice carried clearly over the phone, cutting though the silence of the meeting room. The executives, sitting stiffly, faintly heard a line, “Come shopping with me?” The voice was unmistakably youthful and pleasant.
For a brief moment, everyone in the room was taken aback. Who was this woman? They had assumed that if Alexander paused an important meeting to take a call, it must have been about something of utmost urgency. None of them had anticipated hearing a female voice requesting their boss to go shopping.
The curiosity in the room was palpable, though no one dared show it. Each executive maintained a composed demeanor, eyes fixed ahead, but their ears were perked, catching every word. After all,
work ethic and had no history of scandals. In all their time with him, they’d never seen him close to any woman. Even his assistants were all men. Now, they were eager to know how their boss would respond to such a casual request.
Alexander was known for his releas
Unbothered by the unspoken attention, Alexander remained calm.
Before he could reply, Olivia added casually, “Since I’ve been lounging around the Wilson Mansion lately, I wouldn’t know what to say if Grandpa asked me why.”
Alexander’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Got it.”
His response sent shockwaves through the room. He agreed? Their boss, whose time was worth millions, actually agreed to go shopping with someone? The executives, struggling to process this, began speculating wildly about the woman on the other end of the line.
Alexander hung up. “Let’s resume the meeting.”
The room stayed deathly quiet. Alexander frowned slightly.
Henry cleared his throat, breaking the silence, and everyone snapped back to attention. Oh no, did the boss catch us eavesdropping on the gossip?
“Mr. Jake, please continue with your presentation, Henry said, stepping in to break the awkwardness.
Alexander’s marriage to Olivia wasn’t public knowledge, so no one at the company knew he was already married. Henry, who had overheard the call, was equally surprised. He couldn’t have predicted that Alexander would humor Olivia’s seemingly unreasonable request.
Jake quickly wiped his brow and picked up where he let off, but it was clear the room’s focus was no longer on the meeting. Alexander had always been a solitary figure, unapproachable to women despite his wealth and influence. Many had tried, but none had succeeded, leading some in the company to speculate: about his preferences. Now, however, those assumptions were being completely overturned.
The following afternoon, Olivia, having just finished her classes, drove to the plaza where Georgina’s jewelry store was located. Seated on a bench, she checked the time and looked up to see Alexander Walking toward her.
Henry trailed closely behind Alexander. When he saw Olivia, a flicker of recognition flashed in his eyes. So it really was her calling yesterday! What’s going on with Mr. Wilson? Since when does he spoil someone like this?
“You’re right on time. Let’s head into Ms. Georgina’s store, Olivia said as she stood, her tone calm. She glanced at Alexander briefly before turning and walking toward Georgina’s JN Jewelry store.

Watching Olivia’s cold attitude, Henry’s mind raced with questions. Mr. Wilson has stooped to accompanying her on a shopping trip, yet she’s acting so aloof? If he didn’t know that this was the real Olivia, Henry would have suspected that someone else had been impersonating her lately.
