Chapter 39: It's Disgraceful
Olive couldn’t distinguish that it was a casual joke or he also regarded her as a kind of woman who wanted to find a rich man. In the company, there were so many such women. When they looked at Alan every day, they were hungry like wolves and tigers, and they were also unspoken with shyness.
She laughed dryly.” Great men’s favors are uncertain. I know more about my boss. I should have less chance to make mistakes. Sometimes I'm clumsy, afraid of being scolded by my boss. It's very humiliating.”
Such an explanation, even she felt it was unreliable. He may not believe it.
Dave laughed, " It’s too exaggerated. Mr. Hoyle dose laugh a little bit. His cool temper was caused by some special experience. But he is not the kind of cold-faced and ruthless boss. To the subordinates, in fact, he cares them very much. You will find that he is very easy to get along with."
Olive did not dare to inquire about the unknown stories behind those special experiences for fear of arousing unnecessary doubts.
When they returned to the hotel late at night, she glanced at the closed door and quickly left away. She dared not stay too long for fear of being misunderstood that she wanted something.
Dave said goodnight to her at the door, and her hesitation were in his eyes.
It was not necessarily to let her come on this business trip. The boss arranged it so that he had his own reason. Just like when they first came to Luo city, they intended to negotiate with Lynn Company, but he bought Hengdu by the way with twice the price of the market. Naturally, these business secrets would not be known by irrelevant people, and she would not know that either.
The next morning, Olive woke up by the phone alarm. She dared not sleep too late, and did not know what kind of work would be waiting for her. Alan was like deciding to let her to accompany temporarily.
The so-called assistant, for her part, was quite disgraceful. She always felt that something would happen in Sanya that she couldn't control, and she was anxious.
At 7:30, Alan knocked on her door.
She wore so cool and green instead of the bloated clothes in Luo city. At the moment, she wore a knee-length white dress elegantly, like a lilac girl coming out of the picture.
Although he was not at the age of judging people by their appearance, Alan still was shocked by her beauty. Perhaps, beautiful things always made people happy.
"Mr. Hoyle." Olive felt his strange eyes, but could not find what was wrong.
Alan came back to himself and did not hide his eyes. "You are beautiful."
"Ah?" Olive was stunned for a moment, and then she blushed inexplicably in his unbridled eyes. "Thank you. That, is it time to start work?"
"You have to eat before you work. Now that you're ready, go to the restaurant."
Did he come to ask her to have breakfast? He was considerate. Olive thought so. People have been in the restaurant.
The hotel had a buffet breakfast, and when they went there, a few accompanying people have already eaten there.
"Give me a breakfast." Alan dropped such a sentence and went to those people.Dave was there too.
Olive pouted. He really regarded her as a servant? But she still could not help walking to the food area. Olive could not choose because there were too many dishes. It was no wonder that some people said
that the buffet meal was that If you didn’t eat, you would feel heartache while if you eat, you would have a stomach.
People like her who didn't eat buffet meals often wanted to taste everything. But her stomach had limited space, and she also didn't want to look like green and inexperienced in the eyes of others.
She picked for herself a cup of mango juice and some favorite foods. And then she picked him an omelet, whole wheat bread, preserved fruit, some bacon and salmon, plus a cup of warm milk. When she got there, those people had already left.
Alan gently frowned. "Milk is for women drinking."
He reached out and adjusted her glass of juice.
Olive stared at him. "According to what you said, juice should be more suitable for women to drink, because it can make woman more beautiful."
"So next time, remember to give me a cup of coffee." He lifted the cup and took a sip, as if he had made up his mind not to let her change it back.
Olive stopped, and there was another time?
"Drinking too much coffee is bad to health."
"Miss Steele, can I understand that this is your concern for me?" Alan looked at her with a half smile and dark eyes.
Olive hated his playful appearance. Her heart was already in a mess, but she had to pretend to be calm. "Do Mr. Hoyle always play such a joke with female staff members? Would you feel a little disqualified?”From NôvelDrama.Org.
"You are the first." With a quiet, magnetic, slow tone, he attracted all her attention. His slender, white fingers landed on her cheek without warning, forcing her eyes to watch him without the possibility of dodging. "Olive, have we ever met before?"
Her heart almost jumped out of the chest. The man's deep eyes in front of her like a vortex almost drowned her. The temperature of his palm pressed against her skin like fire.
She would like to answer “Yes” and then tell him about the existence of Annie.
But she couldn't.
All sourness, sweetness, bitterness and sorrow eventually turned into a laugh.
Alan frowned. "What are you laughing at?"
"Mr. Hoyle, your lines are out of date."
"Well?" He raised his voice slightly, with his beautiful eyebrows raising.
