Chapitre 20: Chapter 20 : What Do You Desire, Olivia?

**Olivia POV

The hostess at the Red Sea sat me in a corner booth. I was grateful for the privacy since my cheeks were burning from what I was about to do. As the owner, Jesse was bound to be around somewhere. When I saw him, I waved him over.

“Olivia, back so soon?” Jesse asked, arching a single eyebrow at me.

“Your Steak au Poivre was just so delicious last time, I wanted to try it again.” I gave him the most convincing smile I could. “And I wanted to tell you personally how much I enjoy the Red Sea.”

“Is that so?” he asked.

I swallowed hard. He didn’t sound convinced but he nodded and gave me a warm smile.

“You’re always welcome here,” Jesse assured.

“Thank you,” I said, nodding in return.

“If there is anything I can do for you, personally, in regards to your meal, don’t hesitate to ask,” he assured me. His smile suggested a little more than what he offered and I reached for my water, taking a quick sip to avoid answering.
