Chapter 10
It was Friday and Olivia was bored. She did not want to spend the day inside the house, especially since Rania and Marina were at home. It was just so uncomfortable being around them. They always ended up being in some kind of argument. So Olivia suggested that she and Daya go to explore Beirut, the capital city of Lebanon.
Olivia and Daya walked out of Sheikh Solomon’s mansion and out into the warm Middle Eastern sun. Jacob was leaning against his black Bentley. He had his phone in his hand. He looked up from his phone and saw Olivia and Daya walking out of the house.
“Where are you two off to?” he asked.
“Sightseeing,” Olivia replied. She was not quite sure about how she felt about Jacob. He hadn’t been as nasty as his sisters had been to Olivia.
“I thought you were going shopping.”
“Why shopping?”
“You will be seeing your husband-to-be in two days.”
Olivia narrowed her gaze at Jacob. “He is not going to be my husband,” she replied.
Jacob slid his phone in his pocket.
“Why not? There are tons of women dying to be his wife, my sisters included,” he said.
Olivia rolled her big hazel eyes.
“Then he can choose a wife from all those women. I myself am not interested in marrying a man I know nothing about,” said Olivia.
“He is a good man,” said Jacob.
“So you also think I should marry him.” Olivia narrowed her gaze at Jacob.
“No, I am just pointing out good things about him.”
“Shouldn’t you be trying get him hitched to one your sisters?” Olivia asked. If Joseph was a good man as Jacob said he was, then surely he would want one of his sisters to marry him.
Jacob shrugged his shoulders. “Of course it would be good if he married Rania or Marina but frankly I do not care about all of that,” said Jacob. He pulled out his phone and looked at it.
“You seem rather amused by all of this actually,” Daya pointed out.
Jacob smiled.
“I am,” he admitted.
“Are you going into the city?” Olivia asked.
“Um –”
Before Jacob could say anything else, Olivia cut him off. “Ah, that’s good. Perhaps you could give us a lift,” she said with a big grin plastered across her face.
Jacob raised his dark eyebrows.
“Why would I do that?” he asked.
“Because you are the kindest of the Solomons.”
“I will have my driver take you where you need to go. I have matters to attend to,” said Jacob.
“Matters that concern the person you are messaging,” Olivia said cheekily. He slid his phone back into his pocket and looked at Olivia. He said nothing as he walked off.
The driver appeared moments later. He unlocked the door for Olivia and Daya. The two of them climbed into the backseat. Olivia sat comfortably in the beige leather seat. It was so comfortable and spacious inside the car. Inside Jacob’s car. She had asked him to drive her and Daya into the city to see how he would react. She was unsure of his position in regards to her.
