The Billionaires's Temptation (Book 1)

5. Unexpected News

Olivia

It's been a week. A whole week since Alex's wedding and my encounter with Logan. I thought I would be able to forget the night, but the heartache Alex put me through drove me to the extent of sleeping with a total stranger. I always hit myself when I recall how I offered myself to the stranger.

And to be honest, when he came to the animal clinic, I was much convinced I made a mistake. I didn't act all friendly to him on purpose. We have nothing to get along about. It might be normal to him, but the embarrassment is still nagging me at the pit of my stomach.

I haven't been able to stop thinking about him. His touch, his kisses, the way he made me feel. But I won't be carried away by the way he gave me pleasure. People like him look like the type who doesn't have regard for relationships and only cares about their own pleasure.

I was lost in my thoughts when the door to the clinic was pushed open. I quickly got up from the chair only for my eyes to land on Logan. He had a bouquet of flowers in his hand and a solemn expression on his face.

"Hi Olivia," he said, his voice laced with excitement . "I'm here with Bob again?"

"Bob?" I found myself repeating my brows creasing. "Bob my dog" he said marching forward with a smile. That was when I notice the dog appearing behind him.

What the hell Olivia.

"Right Bob. What is wrong with him this time?" I crouched down to the dog level. "He has a high temperature" I said looking up to Logan.

"Where should I keep this?" He gestured to the bouquet of flowers. I stretched out my hand and took the flowers. "Thank you" I placed it on my desk before focusing on the work at hand.

"He's been like that for three days now"

"Three days? And you didn't bring him" my contact number was written on the card I gave him. Unless he chose not to call and decided to show up today.

"I'm sorry, I've been busy with work," Logan said, his eyes filled with remorse. "But I knew I had to bring him in today."

I couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt. Logan seemed genuinely concerned about his pet, and here I was judging him based on one night of passion. "It's okay," I said, trying to be more understanding. "Let me take a look at Bob and see what's wrong."

I carefully examined Bob, checking his temperature and heartbeat. "It looks like he has a fever. I'll prescribe some medication for him, and he should be back to normal in a few days."

"Thank you, Olivia," Logan said, relief evident in his voice. "I really appreciate your help."

I nodded, still feeling awkward around him. As he paid for Bob's treatment, I couldn't help but think about the night we had together. Despite my initial reservations, there was no denying the intense chemistry between us. But I knew I couldn't let my guard down again. Not after what happened with Alex.

"Take care of Bob, okay?" I said, handing over the medication.

"I will," Logan said, giving me a small smile before walking out of the clinic with his dog. As I watched him leave, I couldn't help but wonder what would happen if we ever crossed paths again.

"Stop being paranoid Olivia. Just because he came with his dog again doesn't mean you two will cross path again" I muffled out. I didn't get to watch him drive away when Lisa walked in. "Isn't that the dog owner from last time?" She asked pointing outside.

"Yeah. The dog is still suffering from fever. But I've given him the medication that will cure it completely. Check on Mr. Cameron Dog" Lisa nodded and walked away.
