Chapter 284: Chapter 284

Chapter 284 There Is No Need to Be so Courteous Olivia was instructing the workers to change the glass when she saw Eugene’s car. Instantly became vigilant, she looked at the car guiltily. Why is the annoying man here again? However, she didn’t dare to reprimand him. Not only did she not dare to scold him, but she even greeted him with a smile and politely asked, “Mr. Nolan, may I know the reason for your visit?”

Eugene looked at her and chuckled. Even though she sounds polite, the way she’s glaring at me is like she’s about to stab me with a knife! He secretly glanced at George, who was walking toward them from inside. With a serious expression, he asked, “I heard that your studio was robbed. Are you alright?”

“I’m fine. We only lost some fabrics,” Olivia replied.

Hearing this, Eugene said, “Everything else doesn’t matter as long as there are no casualties.”

The two of them spoke politely to each other until George appeared before them. “Olivia, why don’t you invite him in?”

At that moment, Olivia seemed to have just come back to her senses. Truth was, she didn’t want to invite Eugene in at all. The more they spoke, the higher the possibility that they might reveal something. If her senior found out about their relationship, she would be in trouble.

However, at that instant, she had no choice but to ask, “Mr. Nolan, would you like to come in?” She really hoped that Eugene would be able to understand the look in her eyes that was asking him to leave and wished he would give an excuse that he had something else to attend to. To her dismay, Eugene enunciated each word clearly, “Sounds great!”

S-Sounds great? Didn’t he see the look in my eyes that asked him to leave immediately? Truth be told, Eugene saw her signal but ignored it as he really was reluctant to leave his cute girlfriend. Even though they couldn’t do anything intimate and he could only watch her, he felt it was better than not being able to see her at all. Moreover, he wanted to see the extent of the damage.

When he went in, the staff and workers had pretty much cleaned up everything but they hadn’t had the time to clean the paint all over the floor, so Eugene could still imagine what a mess it was earlier. “How much have you lost?” Eugene asked.

Olivia helplessly replied, “A rough estimate would be hundreds of thousands!”

Hearing this, Eugene said, “I heard that the police have already caught the suspect.”

Olivia was slightly shocked to hear this. “That was fast. Was it Anna?”

“No, it was Amy.”

“Amy?” Olivia was so furious that she was speechless. “Why are these two mother and daughter so persistent?” Looking at her with a gentle and tender gaze, Eugene replied, “Don’t worry. The police will definitely give you an explanation.”

Before Olivia could reply, Eugene heard George say, “Mr. Nolan, you’re a busy man but you still make time to take care of our Olivia. I’m sorry for troubling you. Why don’t we go to Olivia’s house to have a meal together?”

Eugene frowned slightly. Our Olivia? He sure doesn’t treat Olivia as an outsider. Seeing that Eugene was about to say something, Olivia hurriedly spoke first. “George, you know very well that my cooking is terrible so don’t make me look foolish. If you want to thank him, we can invite Mr. Nolan out another day!” If they went to eat at her house, Eugene knew every nook and cranny so they would definitely give away their secret.

However, George disagreed and said, “Going out to eat doesn’t seem as genuine as cooking ourselves. I believe Mr. Nolan doesn’t mind.” His words were targeted at Olivia but his eyes were focused on Eugene. It was as if he was glaring at an enemy that was about to steal something that belonged to him.

Olivia was extremely anxious so when George wasn’t looking, she quickly gestured to Eugene with a glare. Seeing how anxious Olivia was, Eugene couldn’t help but stifle a laugh. At first, he wanted to compete with George but he didn’t dare to provoke his girlfriend.

After all, if she got angry, he might even lose his trial period as her boyfriend. After giving it some thought, he politely said, “There’s no need to be so courteous. Besides, I trouble Olivia more often.

We’re all friends so there’s no need to be so polite.” As he spoke, he turned to look at Olivia and said, “There’s another reason for my visit today. My grandpa is free tomorrow. Do you have time to head over to his house to get his measurements?”
