Chapter 75 Mr. Lu’s Phone
Greg wanted his order to be carried out with an immediate effect. He urged impatiently,
“I don’t care. Olive, hurry up and clean the entire place.”
Olive said to Divine,
“I’ll go clean up.”
As Olive picked the cleaning tools which Greg had kept on the floor. Divine continued to
argue with Greg.
“Greg. I don’t think that this is what director Hudson ordered. I think you’re deliberately
making things difficult for Olive.”
Greg glowered at Divine’s chubby face.
“Divine, how did you become friends with Olive? Well, birds of the same feathers flock
together. And Divine, don’t call me in front of others ever again. You embarrassed me
greatly today.”
Divine felt her eyes become watery.
“Greg, since I’m an embarrassment to you, then let’s cancel the engagement.”
“You made this choice. Don’t come crying to me for another chance.” Greg quickly
threatened, afraid that she would
regret it.
“Don’t worry, there’ll be no need for that.” Divine collected some of the tools from Olive’s NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
hands and said,
“Olive. I’ll help you. Let’s go.”
Divine really liked Greg. Greg was handsome and was from a wealthy background. He
was also a medical student. He was perfect in all aspects.
Olive turned to stare at Divine.
“Divine, don’t be sad. Greg isn’t suitable for you. You’ll definitely find a better man than
him.”
Divine smiled sadly and wiped the tears that had flowed down her cheeks.
“I won’t cry anymore. He’s not worth my tears.”
They started cleaning and continued untill evening. The institute was about to close, so
they students had packed up and gone home.
“Olive, let’s go together.” Divine had proposed.
Olive shook her head.
“Divine, I want to go back to the pharmacy to continue studying the medicines. You’ve
worked all day, so hurry home and rest.
Divine wanted staying, but she remembered that she was not interested in medicines at
all. So she bade Olive farewell and left.
After Divine had left. Olive headed to the pharmacy. She wasn’t familiar with the
location of the light switch. She groped her way forward.
“Ouch!” She half yelled as she bumped into a wall. Olive covered her forehead with her
palm and looked up. In the darkness, was a white face.
“Goodness lord!!” Olive screamed frightenedly.
The lights were turned on, and the dim yellow light filled the room.
Olive could now clearly see the figure before her. It was the man who was sleeping in
the pharmacy.
Olive looked at him. The man was very young. He was probably in his early twenties.
He was very handsome and
calm.
“Why didn’t you make a sound? You startled me.”
The man didn’t utter a word to her. He just stared indifferently at her. He returned to his
chair and sat down, he
placed his head on the table and went back to sleep.
Olive was of the opinion that the man acted weirdly. But she quickly retracted her gaze
and looked at the medicinal
substances.
Olive began memorizing the names, but she was so tired that she had fallen asleep
after sitting on the chair.
The entire pharmacy was engulfed with silence.
The man who was sleeping had woken up. He grabbed his book which laid on the table
and began reading it.
“Young master.” A man in black had walked in.
“I brought you supper.” The subordinate respectfully handed him a flask of noddles.
The man didn’t divert his gaze from his book. He only muttered coldly.
“Go down.”
“Young master, if you do not want to have this for supper, then I could quickly get you
something else. And besides, it’s been a while since you returned to New York, so it’s
time to go home.”
“Go down.” The man said for the second time.
For some reasons, the man in black had hastily walked out of the pharmacy.
The man flipped through the medical book, he felt that the contents were boring. He
closed the book and stood up. He moved over to Olive.
Olive was wearing a mask. Her black hair was scattered around her cheeks. The man
reached out and took off her mask.
Olive’s phone which laid on the table rang. The man lowered his eyes and glanced at
her phone. The word “Mr. Augustine” was on the screen.
The man slowly placed back her mask.
Olive was awakened by the frequent ringing of her phone. She sat up. The man who
was lying on the table had disappeared.
Olive quickly picked up her phone and answered the call.
“Hello, Mr. Augustine.”
Elvis’s low, yet charismatic voice sounded.
“Why did you answer my call so late? If you had delayed a little further, I think I could
have been on my way to
catch the adulterer.”
“Mr. Augustine, your imagination has really gone wild. I’m still here at the research
institute. I was exhausted and had dozed off for a while. You have nothing to worry
about.” Her sweet voice said softly.
“I’ll pick you up.” Elvis tone was now softer than earlier.
“No, no need. I need to stay back and study. In three days time, I’ll have to answer to
director Hudson’s task. Everyone’s waiting to see me fail, so they can mock me. So I’ll
be studying overtime so no one will have the opportunity to look down on me.”
Elvis didn’t persist. He changed the topic and chatted casually.
How many handsome guys have you met today? I heard that there are quite a handful
of handsome guys there. and they’re mostly from wealthy backgrounds.”
Olive felt that in addition to acting aggressively, Elvis also had a strong desire to control
her.
She had always insisted on doing things her way, hence the reason he had allowed her
to. But now, he was strict with the male friends that she made.
