Chapter 285 Compromise
Olivia hurriedly replied, “Okay, I’ll take a taxi tomorrow and head straight over there.”
“Okay, thank you.” After Eugene responded politely, he turned and left. George watched him leave and thought, Even though he always has a valid reason to come over here and it doesn’t seem like he likes Olivia, I have a feeling that this man has an unusually close relationship with her!
“George, what are you looking at?” Olivia asked with a guilty conscience.
Hearing this, George immediately turned to look at her. “Nothing. I’ll go with you tomorrow so that I can diagnose Old Man Nolan!”
When Olivia heard this, her heart sank. If I allow George to join me, that man will definitely openly introduce himself as my boyfriend. “There’s no need. Old Man Nolan’s illness is already cured. Besides, wealthy families like the Nolans are all crazy. Even though we’re doing it out of kindness, they might think that we’re coveting their wealth! The first time I went over to cure Old Man Nolan’s illness, they almost kicked me out of there.”
After hearing this, George couldn’t help but chuckle. “I can’t believe that someone would dare kick a genius doctor like you out of the house.”
Seeing that she succeeded in changing the topic, Olivia naturally started to relax. “I’m not joking. Not only did they not believe me, but they even insisted that craniotomy be performed on an 80 year-old man. How ridiculous is that? Fortunately, Eugene arrived and after he spoke up, they finally let me do acupuncture. Otherwise, Old Master Nolan may not have even survived!”
“Luckily Eugene trusts you!”
Olivia instantly pouted and said, “He doesn’t trust me. The first time we met, he thought I was a thief.” With that, she told George her whole story of her first encounter with Eugene.
After George finished listening, he seemed to be slightly relieved. It seems that Eugene may really have no feelings for her. Perhaps he is just grateful that Olivia saved his grandfather’s life. Moreover, wealthy families like the Nolans will probably mind that Olivia has a child. At that moment, George suddenly had a dark thought. He hoped that the Nolan family would dislike Olivia and her child because that way, they would be his.
…
On the next day, Olivia managed to persuade George to stay at the studio to watch the place. As for her, she took the taxi and directly went out.
Olivia spent half of last night bickering with Eugene because he was persistent to pick her up at the studio. However, she was worried that George might get suspicious so she didn’t let him. The two of them fought for a long time and in the end, they chose to compromise. Eugene would wait for her at a location that was a little far away from the studio and Olivia would pretend to take the taxi and later get into his car, and only then was he appeased.
Sure enough… The taxi drove for less than a kilometer before she saw Eugene’s car, and he was leaning against the side of it with an annoyed expression. When he saw the taxi come to a stop, he hurriedly stood up straight and went up to Olivia. He couldn’t help but complain, “Why do you have to make such an open and public matter look so sneaky?”
Olivia glared at him and yelled, “Do you know what I meant when I asked you to disappear for ten days? I didn’t ask you to use various methods to appear in front of George and I. You didn’t perform well this time so I’m deducting one smiley face!”
Eugene remained calm and stared down at her. “I don’t see you being so enthusiastic when it comes to rewarding me, yet you seem so pleased to be deducting smiley faces. Are you hoping that I’ll send you back to the studio and pick you up again?”
Hearing this, Olivia pouted. There he goes again with those threats! “Fine, I won’t deduct this time. Let’s go!” As she spoke, she took the initiative to step forward and take the man’s arm.
Seeing this, Eugene asked, “Are we leaving just like that?”
“Are we not going to your grandfather’s house anymore?” Olivia asked.
