Olivia stopped hurrying to the door as soon as she got close enough to Rafael and Tony, standing at the entrance with both their hands folded as they glared at whoever it was standing outside. Olivia was also anxious to know who it was and even more so with every step she took as she drew closer. She watched Tony turn to her as soon as she was a few paces away.
"O-Olivia," Olivia slowly turned to look at him just as Rafael turned his head slightly to see too. Olivia watched Tony step away from the door so she could have a better look. Who on earth could it have been that had everyone up on their feet.
She narrowed her gaze to the man in a black tuxedo outside.
"Olivia!" Austin rushed into the house the moment he saw her. They turned too. Olivia stared at him, wondering why he was overly excited to see her and what he was doing there. How he just barged into the house like that unannounced? She had her eyes focused on Rafael to make sure he was okay with it. He didn't look like he wasn't. He just folded his arms and raised a finger to scratch his brow.
"A-Austin-"
He pulled her to his chest and hugged her immediately. Rafael let out a disgusted scoff.
Unbelievable.
Olivia could see him roll his eyes from where he stood. He was plainly disgusted.
He turned fully and walked away from the door with his hand in his pocket. He didn't want to be a part of all that drama. Susan went away with him and she watched them walk down the hallway.
"Oh my God," Austin pulled her away from him gently. "You're okay." He examined her carefully, side by side to make sure she was really okay. Tony could not understand what was going on.
"W-What are you doing here?" Olivia asked him almost in a whisper. "How did you find me?"
"It doesn't matter." Austin said rubbing her arms, forcing a smile on his face. He had relief tears lingering in his eyes. "What matters now is you're okay and you weren't hurt. I don't know what I'd do if anything had happened to you."
"A-Austin-"
"This won't do." He grabbed her hand "You shouldn't be here. You can't be here. it's not safe. Come with me, I'll protect you. I know somewhere, you'd be safe there."
He tried to pull her. Olivia pulled back. She stood her ground, refusing to move. He slowly turned to her.
"What's wrong?" He noticed the long frown on her face. He exhaled "Are you mad at me? For leaving you there on your own?"
"It's not that." She cut him off, trying not to look at him "It's just-" she started "I can't leave yet."
"What?"
"I still have to stay here and look after my Lawyer." Now she turned to look at him "You see, he hurt himself while trying to protect me. I won't feel at ease with myself knowing I just left him."
