Chapter 38 He Did It Himself
Olivia smiled and said, “Is that all it takes?”
Eugene responded, “Since you aren’t willing to join my company, I have to come to you. I’m not going to let your talent go wasted.”
Tilting her head, Olivia looked him in the eye with a mischievous smile. “You’ve never seen my design works before. How can you be sure that I’m a talent? I may just be a fraud.”
Feeling speechless, Eugene gave her a look. “Did you forget that you included your design works in the resume that you sent me?”
Olivia was surprised. “That resume was sent in by North. I don’t even know which design works he included.”
Eugene was slightly startled. “That kid sent it in on behalf of you?”
“Yes. He wanted me to join your company. My plan when I first got back was to run my own fashion studio, but he tried every way to get me into your company. Who knew…”
Olivia spread her hands and shrugged, not finishing the sentence. Who would have expected that so much would happen since then?
Eugene responded rather apologetically, “I’m sorry about what happened in the past. Now that I think about it, whatever happened was pretty dramatic. Had I not seen them with my own eyes, I’d never have believed them. I was also there at the airport the day you landed, and I saw that you had a man’s phone in your hand. The next day, when you showed up at the office of the Nolan Group for an interview, I also just saw that post that was critical about your actions with Brian, and that’s how my misunderstandings about you deepened.”
Startled, Olivia chuckled. “I witnessed how a man stole a lady’s phone, so I later decided to get the phone back using the same method. On the day of the interview, I used Brian’s phone to make phone calls because Brian fainted.
After that, Eugene nodded. “I know. I’m sorry for misunderstanding you.”
Hearing this, Olivia tittered magnanimously. “Don’t worry about it anymore. I don’t take things personally.”
“Thank you for that, Miss Maxwell,” Eugene smiled and responded. “About investing in your fashion studio, it’s settled then. I’ll transfer you the money tomorrow.”
Olivia did not expect him to be serious about it.
“Mr. Nolan, are you serious about it?”
“Of course.”
The look on her face made him chuckle. “I’m going now. Please make sure that you lock the doors.”
Olivia nodded. “Sure.”
After Eugene left, Olivia still stood there. She was still in disbelief as to why he would invest in her business.
Did he genuinely think that he would make money from that investment?
After closing the door, she walked back and was frightened by the person in front of her.
“Y-You’re not asleep yet?”
North commented with a big smile on his face. “I love being in Uncle Eugene’s arms.”
Olivia’s face dropped. “North Maxwell, let me warn you; please stop playing tricks. I don’t want him to feel that we’re taking advantage of him time after time.”
North puffed up his cheeks and replied, “He won’t. I feel that he likes us, and he likes you too. He took you out for meals, and he even carried me.”
Olivia frowned. “That’s all because we saved his grandpa. We have to know our limits. If you keep responding to him, he might think that we have an ulterior motive.”
North responded, “Isn’t that normal? Mr. Nolan is single, and so are you. Since he’s cleared up all the misunderstandings, isn’t it good if you two can start seeing each other?”
Olivia stared at him. “What’re you talking about? Just today a woman was coming at me because he was trying to drink on my behalf.”
North puckered up his lips. “You needed Uncle Eugene to drink on your behalf?”
Olivia responded, “I didn’t ask for it. He did it himself.”
