“I want to give you a hug.” “What else?”
“And a kiss.” “Anything else?” Eugene wanted more but had to hold his tongue. He was afraid that Olivia would think that he wanted a mile when he was given an inch.
“Nothing more… at the moment.” Olivia couldn’t help but laugh at his answer. “Tell me, do you know what is that one lie that all men would tell at least once in their lifetime?”
Eugene had never bothered about those kinds of internet articles. It was unthinkable that he would know the answer to Olivia’s question. “What is it?” Eugene asked blankly. Dissatisfied with the lack of effort in his answer, Olivia replied, “Take a guess!”
Eugene gave a thought to the question before answering, “Is it the sentence ‘I really have nothing going on with that woman’? 9 times out of 10 that there is something going on between a man and a woman when the man says this!”
With a small chuckle, Olivia continued, “Wrong. Next guess!” Obediently, Eugene took another shot. ‘I know! Is it ‘I don’t have a personal bank account for my money?!”
This time, Olivia broke into laughter at his answer. “To think that a president like you would have such a down-to-earth answer!” “That wasn’t it?” Eugene asked.
“Nope.” Seemingly struggling to come to an answer, he finally gave up. Then what is the answer? I really have no clue.”
Smiling, Olivia imitated a man’s voice and said, “I really just want to cuddle with you. I won’t do anything else! Don’t you think every man would lie like this at least once in their lifetime?”
Eugene roared with laughter after hearing the answer. The conversation was now without words but filled with laughter instead. After a while, Olivia asked, ‘Have you ever said. something like this before?”
The man replied in his deep voice, “Then do all women just want us to cuddle with them and do nothing else? Or do they really want us to do something else instead?”
Olivia was stunned and unable to retort. This foul man. I was just planning to tease him but now the tables have turned. Now that she was being put on the spot, she was thinking hard about how to get back at him.
After giving some thought to his question, she then answered, “I can’t speak for all women on this matter! After all, there are not that many men that are as handsome as mine!”
Unable to stop himself from grinning, Eugene then replied, “I only want to know about what you think.”
Olivia rolled her eyes over what was said, yet she replied to him with a hint of flirtatiousness in her tone. “What’s the rush? I think it’ll be better for me to answer your question in person! Alright, I got to go now.”
After saying that, she immediately ended the call. While listening to the beeping sound at the other end of the line, Eugene gulped unconsciously. He felt that she was playing coy with him. Otherwise, why would he be filled with the urge of wanting her in his embrace right now?
Smiling like a fool, he answered ‘alright’ as though the call was still ongoing. It was only after a while that he thought of asking his son to come back into the office.
As Eugene stood up, North came running in after he flung the president’s office’s door open. Without saying anything, North went straight into Eugene’s arms. It tugged at Eugene’s heart as he saw how pale North’s face had become. He gave his son a firm hug and lightly patted North’s back. “North, what’s wrong?”
However, North continued to stay silent while hugging Eugene by his neck. With how the boy was panting with his body slightly trembling, it looked as though he had been running for his dear life.
Eugene didn’t press any further and instead. took the child in his arms and proceeded to take a seat in front of his computer. He then pulled up the surveillance footage on his computer.
There was still some joy on North’s face when he left the president’s office earlier. With a proud face, he would politely greet and converse with any of the secretaries who had passed him by with a smile.
However, it was after Samantha was seen walking toward North that there were changes to his expression. With a faint smile, she crouched down to his height and asked, “North, what are you doing here?”
North didn’t bother answering her and had moved to pass her.
