When She Stops Playing Nice
Chapter 201
Olivia heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Mason was st*pid. She managed to fool him with a simple excuse. âAlright, help me buy the rat poison first. I want those with potent chemical properties. We canât let those rats survive.â
Mason felt that Oliviaâs tone was a little strange. It was as if she despised rats. It was understandable to hate those rodents, but her hatred looked excessive. The hatred in her eyes was as if she wanted to tear the rat into pieces. Mason knew she wouldnât display such a resentful gaze even if she hated rats.
Curious, Mason asked, âDid a rat once bite you?â
The corner of Oliviaâs eyes twitched. âI was almost bitten. Rats are so disgusting. So, hurry up and buy a rat poison. Please, I beg you!â
âOkay.â
I
Mason immediately went to buy rat poison from a nearby store. The shop owner said this is the most potent. Remember to be careful when you use it. Wear gloves. But if your skin touches it, remember to wash your hands.â
âYes, I remember.â Olivia nodded perfunctorily and prepared to leave.
Mason was still a little worried. âOlivia, youâve settled with your new boyfriend. Donât forget about what you said. Iâll be waiting for you.â
Olivia pretended to be touched. âI will. Donât worry.â
On the other side, Andy was about to pick up Cathy from work at the intersection she mentioned. When he went downstairs, he accidentally bumped into a man walking towards him.
The man wore sunglasses and a mask in broad daylight, but his blond hair was still exposed. Andy thought he must be a new junior employee. He said annoyedly, âUse your eyes when you walk!â
Iâm sorry.â The man immediately apologized. For a moment, Andy shook his head and had nothing to say.
Then, he lectured the man, âWatch where youâre going next time, seriously!â With that, Andy left.
The blond man knocked on the door of Oliviaâs apartment unit. But there was no answer.
âSheâs not at home? Where is she?â
When Olivia called him, he was busy and didnât have the patience to listen to her. Besides, he never liked to talk on the phone, so he came to look for Olivia. To his surprise, Olivia was hot home.
Forget it I guess itâs nothing important. He could only blame himself for making this trip. He had been recruiting Olivia for so long, but Olivia hadnât done anything impressive. He wanted to reconsider his decision. As how he abandoned Cole, he thought he had to fire Olivia. The man didnât want to hire people who did nothing.
The next day, Cathy packed the freshly fried pumpkin pie and prepared to give them to Cina. She had specially asked Gina the day before if she would come to Medicine Land before preparing them.
After getting ready, Cathy went into the bedroom to wake Andy up. âAndy, didnât you promise to send me to work this morning? Why are you still sleeping? Didnât you go to bed early last night?â
Andy felt a little guilty. âI didnât sleep well last night and had a nightmare.

Cathy sighed and frowned. âDonât feel pressured anymore because of the repair fees. Didnât I tell you weâll go through this together?â
Andy looked very touched as he hugged Cathy. âMy dear, Iâm so glad I have you!â
Alright. Donât be clingy. Hurry up and wash your face.â
âOkay.â
Andy stretched his body. His mind was still in a daze. Last night, he slept with Olivia again. Moreover, it was in the living room of their rented house. It was an exciting night, causing him to stay awake for more than an hour and come several times. Andy felt his ballsack was empty when he woke up that morning.
Cathy told Andy to stop when they arrived at a nearby intersection. Surprised, he asked, âWhy donât you let me send you to the entrance of Medicine Land?â
âMiss Miller wonât allow it. Just drop me off here. Hurry up and go to work, Cathy said as she left the car.
âWhat a strange policy,â Andy muttered and left.
When Cathy arrived at the surveillance room of Medicine Land she saw Gina and was surprised. âMiss Miller, how did you get here so quickly? Do you want to see the growth of the medicinal herb? I can take you there.â
Gina shook her head. Tve already seen it just now. You said you have something for me. What is it?â
âSheâs waiting for me on purpose?â Cathy was flattered and presented a box. âI made a pastry. Today, itâs pumpkin pie!!
Gina opened it and took a look. The pumpkin pieâs color was vibrant. It was still warm from the oven and smelled fragrant She wondered if it tasted as good as it looked.
Cathy looked at Gina expectantly. âMiss Miller, when you said Iâm a good baker, I was flattered. But the thing is, my boyfriend doesnât like to eat pastry, yet my hands are always itching to make one. Do you want to take it?â
âAlright, Iâd love to.â Gina accepted it.
Cathy was joyful to hear it. âGreat! Iâll return to work then.â
âGo ahead.â
After receiving the pumpkin pie, Gina left Medicine Land. Gabriel sent a message asking what she was doing and Gina took a photo of the pumpkin pie before sending it to Gabriel.
Gina: [Want to try it together?]
Gabriel replied within seconds, Gabriel: [Sure, where are you? I pick you up.]
Gina: [Donât Iâll meet you at Jackson Group, okay?]
Gabriel: [Alright!]
After learning that Medicine Land had started planting, Cina would often wake up early to visit Medicine Land. Gabriel would also wake up early, hoping that Cina could find him anytime she needed him. He looked forward to the day Gina asked him to visit Medicine Land with her.
Although a Medicine Land date sounded odd, Gabriel felt that every second with Gina was meaningful. The location and titne didnât matter.
At Jackson Group, it was still early. The employees had yet to come to work. After all, it was not working hours yet. Gabriel was waiting at the door to welcome Gina personally. He chose to arrive early to avoid sensation and discussion among

employees.
Gina got out of the car and walked to Gabriel. âDidnât you say youâll be waiting at your offices
âI canât wait to meet you,â Gabriel said.
Gina was stunned for a moment. She laughed and said, âImpressive, Mr. Jackson. You can always seduce people without much effort. It gives me the impression that youâve practiced many times.â
Gabriel hurriedly denied it. âYou mean like attending pep talks about dating? Gina, you have to believe that some people donât need to practice when it comes to attracting someone. What if theyâre talented?â
âAre you boasting?â Gina asked.
Tm trying to make a point,â Gabriel said seriously.
Hearing that, Gina smiled. âHave it your way. Letâs talk in your office.
âOkayâ Gabriel took the pumpkin pie box from Ginaâs hand before walking in.
In the office, Gabriel placed the box on the coffee table. Gina opened it and the smell wafted around the room.
âWhat do you think?â Gina asked.
