Chapter 58

At Harris Group, everyone present was part of the elite in society.

Initially, they cast sidelong glances at Olivia, but as the meeting

progressed, they gradually became engrossed in their discussions.

Olivia found herself busily attending to the crowd. She was the busiest

among them once the meeting commenced.

Amidst the meeting, Tyler, who had been issuing instructions to his

staff, suddenly stopped and addressed her, saying, “Take a rest.”

Olivia had been in the midst of preparing coffee, but she set down the

coffee pot upon hearing his command. She glanced at him, drawing the

attention of

everyone in the meeting room.

Taking the opportunity to speak, she replied, “Okay, Mr. Tyler.”

With the room's attention now back on Tyler, he resumed the meeting.

Olivia placed the coffee pot down and settled on a nearby couch. As

she stretched her arms, she couldn't help but reflect that the job of a

secretary was more demanding than she had anticipated. She had

been continuously busy throughout the meeting, even though her tasks

were relatively simple.

Just then, a staff member from the administrative office approached

her, offering a glass of orange juice and a piece of cake. She said softly

to her, “Cake and juice. for you.”

Given the circumstances, Olivia didn’t dare to eat, so she accepted the

items, and the staff member left with a smile.

Just to be safe, she only drank the juice. She dared not touch the

cake.

She never expected that her one-day internship would extend until

past 11 at night. As Tyler accompanied her to the elevator, they

appeared to be the only people left in the entire building. Weary and

drowsy, she stood beside him.

He inquired about her day, “How was your work today?"

Not wanting to admit her exhaustion in front of her boss, she replied,

“Not bad,” suppressing her true feelings.

Tyler sensed that she wasn't telling the whole truth and probed further,

“Are your arms tired?”

She was exhausted, having spent the day performing repetitive tasks

like printing. But she responded, “No, they're just a little sore.”

Her answer was quite contradictory. Tyler noted, “Isn't soreness a type

of tiredness?”

However, he hadn't realized that she was on the verge of falling asleep

when he posed the question. She suddenly swayed, prompting him to

quickly catch her in his embrace.

Startled, Olivia realized she was resting against him when she opened

her eyes. Blushing, she clutched her arms around her chest and looked

away.

“Are you that sleepy?” Tyler asked.

Fully awake now, she couldn't admit her exhaustion due to not sleeping

well the previous night and working late into the evening. She simply

responded, “I'm fine.”

Tyler, however, understood what she was thinking. After glancing at her

blushing face, he assured, “We'll be home soon.”

She obediently nodded in agreement.

Just then, the elevator stopped. Olivia got out of his embrace, and he

let go of her arms too, the tip of his fingers leaving her wrists the

moment the door opened.

As they were leaving the elevator, they didn't notice that Jacob was

standing in a corridor near the staff elevator entrance. He watched

them walk out together. Once inside the car, Tyler held her hand next to

her thigh.
