Chapter 284
Jacob greeted Linda as soon as she came into his office, âHello, Ms.
Linda.â
Linda smiled at him, handing over a document. âGreat job on the farm
project. Mr. Tyler is really pleased, so you might need to go on a trip in
a few days.â
She gave him another paper. âHereâs the plan to change Barva Village
into a place tourists will want to visit. Take a look.â
Jacob felt like he knew the name Barva Village. After thinking hard, it hit
him-it was Olivia's hometown!
He quickly looked over the document. It didnât take him long to figure
out what was going on. He looked up at Linda.
âThis project is special because of Mrs. Harris. We're counting on you
to see it through.â
Jacob held the document tightly.
Linda saw his reaction but didnât say anything. She waited for him to
respond.
He snapped back to his senses and said, âSure, I'll do it well.â
âOkay.â Linda smiled and left his office right away.
Jacob looked at the document again, his grip so tight his knuckles
turned white. He threw
it on the floor.
The moment the document scattered on the floor, he stared at it, his
eyes bloodshot, and laughed bitterly. He couldn't believe he'd be
working on something for Olivia, especially a project her husband had
gifted her.
Olivia had married into a prestigious family. She was living a whole new
life, even
expecting a baby.
They say, âPeople depend on their childrenâs success.â Tyler's actions
showed he really
believed this about Olivia.
What would Jacob call her when they met again? The honorable Mrs.
Harris?
He was smiling, but his eyes were anything but warm.
After leaving school, Olivia got into the car.
COM 284
Tyler was still at the club when his phone rang. It was Nina, saying
Olivia had left school. He was always worried about Olivia being out by
herself, so Nina was with her and would keep him updated.
Tyler watched the car drive away from the school. âOkay, take her for a
drive,â he told Nina over the phone.
âWill do, sir.â
Tyler didnât turn around until the car had disappeared from view. Right
then, a friend approached him. âI heard Harris Group donated more
money to the university nearby. I was wondering why they have a soft
spot for that school, and now I see it's because your wife studies
there.â
Tyler slid his phone into his pocket and replied casually, âIt's just a
coincidence.â
But really, it was clear to everyone that it wasn't just a coincidence.
Dylan joined in with a smirk. âCome on, the schoolâs been doing so
much better since your company's donation. It's pretty well-known that
the roads around the school were a mess. Cars were everywhere,
making it dangerous even to walk, and accidents were common. It
makes you wonder if your donation was just to help out the school or
maybe for someone special who goes there.â
Dylan would never let go of the chance to tease Tyler a little, especially
when it came to any news about Olivia.
