Chapter 119
Spoiled by Mr. Russell
âMr. Hall?â Olivia blinked, trying to clearlier head, âWhyâd you come to my house?â
âI heard that youâre on leave. I should take care of my subordinates as the boss, shouldnât?â He knew she was looking out of the peephole, so he leaned in front of the door His suddenly enlarged face startled Olivia, and she took two steps back. âYou!â âOlivia, are you planning to keep the door closed and let me stand outside to talk to you?â âMr. Hall, Iâm sick, and Iâm lome alone. Itâs not a good time.â
She did not want to open the door or say anything more to Nathaniel.
It was not a good idea for him to come because everything that needed to be said had already been expressed long ago. Fortunately, her mother went out to buy vegetables. Otherwise...
Speaking of the devil, there was a voice from outside, âWho are you?â
Mother?
âHello, Iâm Oliviaâs boss. My last name is Hall, and Iâm the president of MN Inc.â Nathanielâs voice sounded.
âOh, Mr. Hall!â Oliviaâs mother said enthusiastically, âWhy are you standing here? Olivia is home! Oh, she must have fallen asleep and didnâu hear you coming. Iâll open the door!â At that moment, Olivia had no choice. She hurriedly tiptoed back to her room and closed the door.
âMr. Hall, please come in and sit down!â Oliviaâs mother said warmly. She put down the vegetables in her hand and called for her daughter, âOlivia! Olivia! Mr. Hall is here!â
There was no reply. Oliviaâs mother turned her head embarrassedly to Nathaniel and smiled,â Please have a seat first. She must be liaving a pleasant dream. Iâll call her again!â
âReally? I seemed to have heard her talk just now,â Nathaniel sat down on the sofa and said with a small smile. That was it. Olivia knew it was useless to hide any longer, so she changed into appropriate clothes and opened the door. âMom.â âDear, Mr. Hall is here,â she winked to signal her and then went to boil water to make tea.
âMr. Hall.â Olivia walked over reluctantly. She stood there, not intending to sit down. Nathaniel crossed his legs, looked up at her, and smiled slightly, âOlivia, have you not been well recently?â
Oliviaâs moilier, who came over withi tea and fruits, heard it and exclaimed, âNo, Olivia is in good lealu.â
âReally? Olivia has been on frequent sick leaves lately. I thought something was wrong, so I came to see what happened.â He pretended to be surprised by the answer. Frequent sick leaves? Oliviaâs mother was also surprised and turned to look at her, âWhatâs the matter with you? Where do you feel sick?â
âMom, Iâm okay,â she frowned and said in a low voice.
Her mother would never understand these matters at work, and Olivia did not want her to worry. That was why Olivia would find a place to hang around for the rest of the day whenever she asked for sick leave. She still had enough money, so she spent it while on leave.
Olivia selt that with their patience, she would be terminated and free in less than a month.
