Chapter 185 Come Over for Dinner
Nathan felt that the suffocating air in his chest was somehow released.
He stopped thinking about Kate.
Although Olivia didn’t say a word, she paid attention to all of Melanie’s little gestures and expressions. Every time Nathan’s thoughts swayed a little bit toward Katie, Melanie would immediately lean nearer, hug his arm or give him an obsessive, loving gaze. It was effective enough to pull Nathan back to her.
She’s an impressive fake b*tch who acts all pure on the outside despite being rotten inside!
Perhaps my eyes weren’t playing tricks after all when I saw that look of disgust she revealed in the studio that other time!
Maybe Kate’s worries are real. Melanie isn’t actually dating Nathan for real. She probably even thinks he’s beneath her. I’m sure she has greater ambitions!
Suddenly, Olivia no longer desired to preach to Nathan about love. I’ll just wait for him to get into trouble! This woman will definitely play him for a fool and hurt him to no end.
As anticipation rose in her heart, the corners of her lips curved upward.
When that time comes, I’ll beat him up first! Then, I’ll scold him for being blinded by infatuation and hurting Katie! Finally, I’ll help Katie to find a new boyfriend so that he’ll be forever alone.
It’s exciting just by thinking about it!
Eugene stared at Olivia in confusion. What is this woman thinking?
Why is she frowning one minute and smiling the next? She’s even staring fiercely at Nathan and that woman.
Hmm? Did they offend her?
After observing for a while, Olivia withdrew her gaze.
Eugene didn’t ask her about it. After all, there were so many people around.
Since the guests had already taken their meals, everyone got up and left one after another as soon as Kate left.
As hosts, Eugene and Olivia stayed till the end. When all the guests were sent off, it was already past three o’clock.
Olivia then went to pay the bill.
Nevertheless, Brian refused to let her pay and said that it was on him.
Surprised, Olivia said, “You’re crazy. This banquet costs hundreds of thousands. How could I let you pay for it?”
“It’s really not necessary. This is my own hotel, so it didn’t cost much,” replied Brian.
“But that’s still not okay. This isn’t the right way to do business. Even biological siblings have to settle payments. You will also have to pay for the clothes when you come over to my establishment tomorrow!”
As Olivia spoke, she again passed him the card, which he pushed back once more and smilingly said, “There’s no need. You saved my life before. No matter what, I still owe you.”
In response, Olivia answered, “Didn’t you invite me to dinner the last time? That has been settled back then. It’s not that serious anyway, so I’m not your savior. I was just helping you out. If you don’t accept my money, I will be angry!”
Despite undergoing several turns of pushing the card around, Brian still failed to convince her, so he collected the money and gave a 20% discount.
With a smile on her lips, Olivia said, “If it’s just a discount, then I’ll take it!”
After leaving the hotel and following Eugene into the car, Olivia felt tired.
As she rubbed her feet that were sore from wearing high heels for the entire day, she really wished to take off those killer heels. It would be quite inconvenient to do it at the moment since Eugene was with her.
“Are you tired?”
The man’s deep and pleasant voice came from the front.
“Yeah, a little bit,” Olivia said truthfully.
“Take off your shoes then.”
However, Olivia was embarrassed to do so. Her feet would certainly smell after wearing those heels for the whole day!
Even if Eugene didn’t mind, Curtis who was driving might mind!
“No need. It’s not that serious.”
Eugene didn’t insist further. He was aware that she cared about her image.
Soon, they arrived at Muse Peninsula and the three took the elevator upstairs.
Exhausted from the events of the day, North plodded tiredly along.
When they reached the 59th floor, Eugene urged, “You two go back and rest for a bit. Come over for dinner later in the evening!”
Startled, Olivia immediately replied, “It’s fine. We can eat our dinner at home.”
“Come over. I have something to talk to you about anyway!” said Eugene while staring at her with a serious expression.
