Chapter 57
Tyler was supposed to attend a morning meeting, but he ended up
missing it because he couldn't bring himself to get out of bed.
At noon, they both sat down to have lunch at the dining table. Knowing
that Olivia was in her fourth year of college and would soon graduate,
Tyler inquired about her plans for the future.
Olivia, who majored in medicine and frequently spent her time in the
lab, replied, âI donât know yet.â
Sitting across from her, Tyler suggested, âAre you busy today?â
Perplexed by his question, Olivia looked at him for clarification.
âDo you want to visit the Harris Group with me?â Tyler proposed after a
brief pause. He added, âMy secretary happens to be off today, so you
can do a oneâday internship.â
Concerned about her lack of experience, Olivia hesitated and worried if
she would be a burden to him. âBut I have no... experience, and I know
nothing. Will I stir up trouble for you?"
In reality, Tyler was worried that she would overthink at home. âThink of
it as taking a break. Besides, I'm confident you can handle serving
drinks. It's not a difficult task."
Clutching her cutlery, Olivia found the idea doable. Then, she asked,
âTyler, since you want me to work for you, will you pay me?â
This mischievous question caught Tyler's attention, and he set his soup
bowl aside, giving her a serious look as he contemplated her request.
âTell me how you'd like to do it, and I'll do as you say.â
Blushing slightly, Olivia backtracked, âI was just kidding, I didnât mean
it.â
Seeing her embarrassment, Tyler suggested, âLet's see how well you
perform today. If you do a good job, I might consider paying you.â
She smiled when she heard that. âI'll do my best.â
Tyler continued, âI have high standards for my secretary.â
A hint of annoyance crossed Olivia's face, finding him somewhat
exasperating.
In the afternoon, they ventured out together. Olivia dressed
appropriately in
office wear, resembling a secretary, and stood beside Tyler in the
elevator. Many
people couldn't help but glance at her curiously.
Chapter 7
Feeling nervous, Olivia moved to stand behind Tyler, who was
surrounded by several people. Tyler made no effort to explain her
presence or the purpose of her visit to the curious onlookers.
The elevator ride felt like an eternity as they ascended from the first
floor to the thirtieth. Finally, when the doors opened, no one dared to
move. Tyler exited first, and Olivia hesitated about whether to follow.
Tyler stopped outside the elevator and cast a brief glance at her in the
corner. Olivia quickly realized he was waiting for her, prompting her to
step out and trail behind him.
Maintaining close proximity, Tyler quietly instructed, âFollow me,â and
only she could hear his words.
Nervously, Olivia replied, âYes, Mr. Tyler,â and followed closely behind
him.
Tyler stopped looking at her and went on walking. The rest of the
people came out as well, and they followed him, while Olivia walked
next to him.
In Tyler's office, Olivia quickly adapted to the situation and began
serving drinks. At this moment, serving drinks was the only task she
knew how to handle.
