Chapter 292 Where Else Can He Go?
Olivia’s anger rose immediately and she yelled, “Yes! The only reason I wanted to try a relationship with you is because I was bored!”
Eugene looked up and said, “Olivia, you know that I don’t want to fight with you. I just don’t know how I’m supposed to do this! You keep asking me to believe in you but I have to watch you work side by side with a man who likes you. If I didn’t notice and confronted you about it, you wouldn’t have told me. How do you expect me to believe you?”
Olivia frowned in frustration and she secretly thought, Before you met me, we’ve been friends for seven years. If you don’t trust me, just break up with me! It’s better than both of us wasting our time and emotion from you being suspicious of me! However, she suddenly remembered she promised him that she couldn’t mention breaking up with him for no reason, so she suppressed the thought.
Olivia opened her mouth to explain but her phone in her pocket suddenly started ringing. She frowned as she pressed on the answer button and heard Sophia’s voice from the other side of the phone. “Olivia, we’re waiting for George for dinner but he went out and hasn’t come back yet. We don’t have his phone number so please call him for us!”
“Got it.” Olivia then hung up the phone and called George. Why would George leave the studio? The call went through but George didn’t answer. At that moment, Olivia felt a little worried. What happened to George? She made a few more calls but George still didn’t pick up, which made her anxious. She turned to Eugene and snapped, “Open the door!”
Eugene didn’t budge and just stared at her. “Open the door!” Olivia raised her voice. “Eugene, can you not be so childish?”
Looking at her irritated face, in Eugene’s eyes, it meant that she was worried about George and annoyed by him! He suddenly felt a strong heart ache, and he pressed the central control button. With that, the doors were unlocked with a click. Seeing this, Olivia pushed the door open and got out of the car without looking back.
Eugene watched as she left resolutely and saw her raise her hand to stop a taxi. He squinted and thought, She could have just told me where she wanted to go and I would have taken her there. He felt as if his heart was thrown into a boiling pan and the pain was unbearable.
Then, he started the car and directly drove away. He drove at such high speed that it brought up a gust of wind, and Olivia watched in shock as the car left. There was a flicker in her eyes and her hand that was holding her phone tightened subconsciously. She took a deep breath before she bent over and got in the taxi. After she sat down, she made another call to George. This time, he had directly turned off his phone.
If George didn’t answer the phone before, she could assume that he was busy and didn’t hear her call. However, switching his phone off proved that he had seen her call, and he purposely didn’t pick up. What’s the matter? What happened?
Olivia tapped on her phone again and made another call to Sophia. “When did George leave?”
“About two hours ago. We thought that he was bored of staying at the studio and only went out for a walk, so we didn’t tell you!”
Olivia replied, “Okay, never mind about that. Did anyone come by today?”
Sophia sounded unsure as she said, “I don’t think so. There was a period of time that George was alone in the lobby while we worked inside the studio, but I didn’t see anyone come over. There were a few customers that came later on but at that time, George already left!”
Olivia replied, “Okay, I understand. You all should go and eat!” After she hung up the phone, Olivia started to calm down and think. Where else can he go in this place? Unless he went to find Nathan and Kate. Thinking about this, Olivia called Nathan. On the other end of the phone, Nathan sounded like he was drunk as he was blabbering.
“Hello?!” Olivia frowned hard. “Is George with you?”
“George? No.” Nathan paused and added, “You’re Olivia, aren’t you?”
Olivia was speechless. Why am I calling this drunkard? With a look of disgust, she said, “You should drink less. I can’t believe you’re already drunk in the afternoon. If George calls you, let me know!”
