Chapter 184
Olivia did not return to the hotel until 10 pm.When she returned to the hotel, she lay on the bed and covered herself with the quilt.
After a while, she sat up with a frown.
She didn't have lunch or dinner.
Her stomach was very uncomfortable now.
She got out of bed and looked for food, but there was nothing to eat in the room.
She hadn't bought any food since she arrived at the hotel yesterday.
She went out with her bag and cell phone, bought some bread and instant noodles, ate them, washed up and went to bed.
But she wasn't sleepy.
She remembered the phone call Elizabeth made to her.
And she also remembered something.
The household register was in Brayden's hand.
Taking the phone, Olivia clicked on the screen.
Ever since she left, Brayden hadn't called or texted her.
It was as if he had accepted her leaving without saying anything.
That was the best.
She was relieved.
Putting the phone away, Olivia closed her eyes. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
"Let him have the household register."
It happened to make her mom believe that she and he had married, so her mother wouldn't bother her anymore.
At this moment.
In Sydney.
Brayden stood on the balcony of the hotel with his cell phone in his hand.
Aman's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Done.”
"Thank you."
"It's okay.It's early in the morning over there.Get some rest."
"You too.’’
Brayden hung up the phone and looked at the lights in the distance.
The ninth day of the next lunar month was five days away.
It was the engagement date they had agreed on...
The next day, Olivia went to the company early to read the materials.
The thick pile of documents that Jason brought over wasn't finished so quickly.
Fortunately, no one bothered her.
She was completely immersed in her work and forgot about everything around her.
It was night again.
Preston arrived in Paris at night.
He went back to wash up and came to the company.
It was only after work when he arrived at the company.
He went upstairs and pressed the button on the thirty- seventh floor.
Soon, the elevator door opened and he walked out.
Not long after, he stopped at the Design Department.
The lights in the other departments outside were turned off, except for the Design Department.
It was quiet inside.
However, from time to time, the sound of the pages turning over and the rustling of the pen writing on the book could be heard.
Preston looked at Olivia, who was sitting inside and working hard.
She was holding the information in one hand and taking notes in the other.
She was serious and focused.
Preston raised his watch and looked at the time.
Eight twenty.
Neither early nor late.
But it seemed like that it was normal to work overtime for her.
After standing at the door for a while, Preston left.
Olivia was busy till ten o'clock again.
She was too hungry to continue working.
She took the bread out of the bag and cleaned up the table while eating.
She quickly packed up, took her bag and turned around to leave.
As she went out, she bit her bread.
Suddenly, she stopped and looked at the person standing outside the Design Department.
Preston, with one hand in his pocket and a suit jacket in his hand, looked at her.
"Olivia..."
Olivia wanted to greet him.
However, it was only then that she remembered that the bread she had just bitten had not yet been chewed.
She quickly chewed and swallowed it.
The bread was dry.
She frowned and swallowed a few times.
Preston passed her a bottle of water.
Olivia looked at Preston.
Preston raised his eyebrows.
"Are you afraid I will poison you?"
Olivia shook her head.
"Thank you.’ She took it, drank half of it, closed the cap and looked at him.
"Mr.Smith, why are you still at the company?"
It was so late that most bosses went back.
Preston smiled.
"Since my employee is still here, why can't I be here as the boss?"
"OK”
The two of them walked into the elevator without talking.
When the elevator door closed, Preston said, "It's important to launch a new brand, but I don't want my employees to burn themselves out because of this."
"Don't worry, Mr.Smith.I won't.’
"When you're young, you're healthy and vigorous.If you don't work hard when you're young, it's useless when you're old"
Her tone was distant.
It was not just the distance between the employees and the boss, but also something else.
Preston looked at Olivia.
"I feel like you have some prejudice against me."
