Chapter 161 Debate
Eugene needed to talk to Brian as soon as possible. Olivia, on the other hand, panicked. Eugene must be angry right now. If not, his attitude wouldn’t be so cold.
The atmosphere in the elevator was very awkward, and Olivia stuttered as she tried to explain, “W-When I went to buy these sweets yesterday, there was only one box left…”
Hands in his pockets, Eugene continued staring at the elevator’s door as he replied, “I know. It’s something that you’ve bought, so it’s your freedom to give it to anyone.”
Olivia opened her mouth slightly, wanting to explain further. However, the door to the elevator opened at the same time, and without turning back, he left. North then gave Olivia a look. “Mommy, is Uncle Eugene mad at you?”
Olivia pouted. “Even you can tell?”
Kate gave Olivia a look as well. “You should have just said that the sweets were for him. It’s not like Brian will know anyway.”
“But Eugene does. I’ve already asked him to pass those sweets to Brian yesterday. Why would he still want it if I told him that it was for him? It’s not like he can’t afford them.”
Kate replied, “Well, he only really cares about you, but you never cared about him.”
Glaring at her friend, Olivia questioned, “Why should I care about him?”
Kate exclaimed, “Sigh, now you’re just ungrateful!”
Olivia was rendered speechless at that.
…
After sending the child to school, Olivia went to meet Brian at a cafe. The moment she saw the man entering, she could feel herself calming down. The guy in front of her could be described as a handsome gentleman who was unmatched by others in the world. Brian and Eugene had two completely different vibes. One was gentle like a dove, while the other was domineering like an eagle. Olivia just felt like Brian needed more help when compared to Eugene.
“You’re pretty quick,” Olivia teased and grinned.
Brian smiled. “Well, you’re the one who asked me out, so I can’t be late.”
Olivia felt slightly awkward at that and immediately passed him the box full of sweets. “Here! I would have gotten you more, but this was the last box left at the shop.”
Brian took it over. “Thank you. How much did it cost?”
Olivia was speechless as she glared at him. “You’re still thinking of paying me back?”
“I’m not. I’m just asking,” Brian explained as he chuckled.
Hearing that, Olivia couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “If you want to pay, you should just get it yourself next time.”
However, Brian only focused on the word, ‘next time’, and he felt somewhat giddy. “Nah. You should buy them for me.”
Olivia ordered Brian a cup of coffee before she expressed her gratitude. “I have to thank you for your previous assists.”
Brian replied, “It’s okay. They’re just small matters. Are you better now?”
Olivia nodded. “I’m fine now.”
Brian continued, “I suspect that Lara is the main perpetrator behind your accident as the footage released at the hotel last time had affected the marriage between the Roberts and the Smiths. Although you managed to escape this time, there’s no guarantee that she won’t attack you again. If you don’t mind, I can arrange two men to protect you in the dark!”
Olivia immediately waved her hands. “No, no, it’s okay. What can normal people do to me, anyway? They can’t just attack me in broad daylight!”
Brian retorted, “Didn’t the car accident happen in broad daylight? You shouldn’t look down on that woman as she managed to get my mother kicked out of the family without any money on her and convinced the Mccarthys not to shelter us. That shows that she’s a very cunning person. Although the Robert Family is in her hands now, her greed still isn’t satisfied. I’m guessing that she still wants control over The Nolan Group, but she doesn’t have enough authority to do so right now. That’s why she had a marriage arrangement with the Smiths. However, now that you’ve ruined her plans, do you really think that she’ll let you off the hook?”
Olivia pouted. “It wasn’t me who went between the marriage arrangement between the Roberts and the Smiths though. It was Jessica who caught Ben cheating with Anna, so why would they blame it on me?”
Brian couldn’t help but giggle. “What? Do you want to have a debate with her?”
