Olivia thought they were done for.
It was a private pool, after all. There were no trainers or lifeguards. No one was there to save them in the case of
an accident.
Ethan had suddenly come from nowhere. He lifted Alicia up with one hand and grabbed Olivia's waist with the other.
He then placed Alicia by the pool and turned to look at Olivia. "Are you okay, Ms. Fordham?"
"Leg, my leg cramped. Let me catch my breath."
"Okay. You can hold on to me."
Olivia didn't have the luxury to care about being too close to a man. She wrapped her arms around Ethan's neck
and waited for the cramp to pass.
Ethan wasn't in a rush either. After he made sure Alicia was fine, he stood by quietly and waited.
After around ten seconds, Olivia's leg stopped cramping.
She sighed in relief and came back to her senses. Then, she realized that her body was pressed against Ethan. She

The worse thing was that they were facing each other. Her chest was pressed against his. And while she was
struggling with the cramp, she accidentally exposed her cleavage.
Ethan was afraid that she might slip, so he had one hand wrapped around her waist and the other holding the
railing.
Olivia could feel the warmth of his body through the contact. Anyone would think that they were very intimate
based on the position they were in.
Olivia felt like it was inappropriate, so she promptly let go of him. She forgot that she was in the water and she
sank.
Luckily, the water wasn't too deep, so Ethan could grab her by the waist and bring her above the surface.
Olivia was fully aware of her situation.
She didn't struggle anymore as she pressed herself against Ethan's body. The most important thing was to get out
of danger.
Ethan was only wearing a thin, long-sleeved shirt. Olivia had inadvertently touched his tight and firm waist and
abdomen when she wrapped her arm around him.
The last time he saved her from the sea, she felt he had a good figure. But this time, they were in closer contact,
and she could clearly feel that his body was extremely well-built.
Olivia felt shy, but she didn't dare to let go. She could only wait as Ethan carried her out of the pool.
Her cheeks were completely flushed.
Ethan said, "Don't let go. I'll bring you back."
Olivia kept her head lowered. She didn't know if her ears were playing tricks on her, but she felt like his voice had
become deeper.
She kept her head buried in his chest and didn't look at his face. She was very embarrassed.
Alicia, the culprit that caused everything to happen, was the most innocent. She followed behind Ethan until they
were back in the room.
He set Olivia down gently and said, "Be careful. Don't fall over."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Okay."
Olivia's head was still lowered. She looked at the water dripping from his clothes and asked, "Do you think I'm very
clumsy?"
Ethan almost broke into laughter. It was the first time he saw such a cute side to Olivia in such a long time.
"Not at all. I know you didn't mean for that to happen. It's just that you're yet to recover. You should get changed so
you don't catch a cold. I'll be going back to my room."
"Okay."
Olivia quickly closed her door and shook her head to dispel the thought of what happened out of her mind.
Ethan also rushed back into his room.
He looked at his shirt. It was a little stained.
Then, he removed his contact lenses, undressed, and walked into the shower.
His mind was filled with images of what happened at the pool while he was taking the hot shower. He felt a lump in
his throat, and his body tensed.
He murmured, "Liv."
