Chapter 7 Wilden then said nonchalantly, The interview will continue as planned.
I wont forget something Ive already promised.
As for why you were stopped downstairs, it might have been because the staffer overlooked something.
Next time you come here, just send me a message directly.
Olivia always felt nervous when she was around him.
It was probably due to the way he carried himself.
I will.
Thank you, Mr.
Schumer, she said while nodding her head meekly.
The conversation between the two could be considered amicable, though it mostly consisted of pleasantries.
After she handed the documents to Wilden and received confirmation that he would read through them carefully, Olivia finally let out an exhale and found a place to be dropped off.
Wilden watched as she walked off, and his lips curled into a smile while his eyes filled with confidence.
Olivia was too easily alarmed, so he needed to act slowly when luring her into his net.
A good hunter had plenty of patience and energy when awaiting his prey.
Olivia got a cab and went straight home.
Things had gone very smoothly, and Charles was so pleased that he gave her the rest of the day off.
When she took out her keys to unlock her door, she instinctively felt something behind her.
She turned to take a look.
Through her slightly opened door, she caught sight of Walters chubby face staring at her intently and obscenely.
She spun around, not daring to look for a second more, and quickened the pace in unlocking her own door.
However, the key became lodged in the keyhole.
The doorknob had needed changing, and she had mentioned it to the landlord, but he kept delaying it.
Three seconds later, a loud bang erupted.
The door behind her had been flung wide open, and Walter barged in, his hand clamping down on her shoulder.
You bitch! How dare you call the police? Lets see if you still have the nerve to call now! Let go! Olivias face paled.
She knew that she was no match for Walter when it came to pure strength, so she could only try to threaten him so that he would back off.
If you dare do anything to me, Ill call the police right away! Then, it wont be a matter of just being detained for a few days! Walter sneered.
There was a devilish glint in his eyes.
Still pretending to be innocent? You got me stuck in a cell, so youre just going to have to make it up to me! The pressure on her shoulder increased, and it felt like her bones were going to shatter in a matter of time.
Olivia lifted her arms to fight back, but Walter only became worse.
He leaned into her ear and sneered, Youre always dressed so sexily, so how dare you say youre not trying to seduce me? A wave of shame swept over her, and she clenched her jaw tightly.
In Walters eyes, this reaction of hers implied that she was giving in.
A grin of satisfaction broke out across his face.
That was when Olivia stomped down hard on his toes, and Walter immediately wailed in pain.
Seeing her escaping down the stairway, Walter hurriedly followed suit, his screams and yells never stopping once.
With her heart nearly jumping out of her throat, Olivia raced down as fast as she could.
She only needed to get out of the building.
It was daytime, and there were plenty of people outside, so Walter would not dare do anything to her.
However, right as she was about to make it to the stairs heading down to the first floor, Walter caught up to her.
He grabbed her by the neck and jerked her back roughly.
He then dragged her into the shadows.
Go on, keep running! Why arent you running anymore? Walter was so enraged that he lifted his hand, intending to smack her in the face.
Olivia had her eyes shut tight, but the expected pain never came.

Instead, she heard the sound of something crashing to the ground, followed by a loud groan of pain.
She opened her eyes.
A tall, broad figure was planted in front of her.
His dark eyes were filled with more ferocity than usual, and the hair that had originally been slicked back was now a little messy because of his movements.
The fury in his eyes was so intense that it appeared to take a physical form.
Mr.
Schumer! she gasped in shock.
Wilden spared her a gaze.
Right then, he was violently crushing Walters large body under his expensive leather shoe.
Walter had been sent sprawling earlier, unable to mount any resistance.
Now, the sheer force of Wildens presence washed over him, leaving him no choice but to concede.
Im sorry! Please let me go! Ill never do it again! Now youre saying you wont do it? Wildens voice was icy, and his words sounded as if he had squeezed them through gritted teeth.
What about earlier, when you were acting so stupidly? Why didnt you say this then? He landed another kick on Walters groin.
The whole dilapidated stairway was suddenly filled with screams and wails.
Walter curled in on himself on the floor as he convulsed in pain and eventually lost consciousness.
Olivia was so horrified that she took several steps back.
Scared? It was as if Wilden was sneering at her being so weak.
The ferociousness still lingered in his eyes.
Do you know what would have happened to you if I hadnt come? From the looks of it, hes long set his eyes on you.
How old are you, Ms.
Levington? How do you not even know how to protect yourself? Olivia shriveled up under his glare.
I… Ive reported him to the police before.
Then thats even more reason for you to know better.
Hes obviously harboring hatred toward you, so its only normal for him to retaliate, Wilden scoffed.
He wanted to admonish her some more, but his gaze fell on the redness around her neck and her wrists.
His eyes flashed, and he eventually decided to swallow the rest of his words back down.
Instead, he called to have someone come take care of Walter.
Olivia found the words take care of the man to be slightly chilling.
She could not stop herself from asking, What are you planning on doing? Kill him, answered Wilden airily before chortling.
Youre overthinking things, Ms.
Levington.
We live in a lawful society after all, and Im a law-abiding citizen, so Ill just be doing things according to the law.
Im sure a person like him has done something illegal before, and whatever it is will be enough for him to be locked up for a few years.
Seeing as Olivia was still in a daze, he instead handed a Yves Saint Laurent lip gloss to her.
Olivia looked at it and realized it was hers.
She had likely dropped it in his car earlier.
She felt surprised.
She did not expect someone of Wildens standing to be humble enough to personally come here just to return it to her.
Youre not going to invite me to your place? Wilden asked with a lift of his eyebrow.
Olivia did not wish to let outsiders into her apartment, especially if that person was Wilden, who seeped savagery from every pore of his body.
However, he was her client, and he had helped her out at the dinner with the alcohol, had sent her home, and this time, even saved her.
No matter how she thought about it, she found no reason to refuse him.
Her place was a simple one-bedroom apartment.
After she graduated, Olivia chose to rent this place because of its price.
She had no other choice.
After her parents died in the car accident, she was taken in by her uncles family.
Her uncle had to retire early because he was ill, which made it even more difficult for her aunt to keep the family afloat.
They also had a son to raise, so they were already going above and beyond to raise hersomeone who was not even their own childand even sent her off to college.
Her cousin was in high school, which meant there were a lot of necessary expenses.
So, when she received her monthly wages, she would take 2,000 dollars out to send to her uncle.
After deducting all the daily expenses, there was not much left.
Olivia poured a glass of water for Wilden.
Im sorry.
Ive only got water.
Wilden reached for the glass without even a hint of disdain.
Instead, he looked around the living room with great interest.
