Chapter 301

Staring dazedly at her phone, she let it ring without picking up.

Staring dazedly at her phone, she let it ring without picking up.

The moment she saw the screen of her phone go off, panic coursed through her blood and it prompted

her to quickly get to Eugene’s number in her contact list. Just as she was about to call him back, she

received a WhatsApp message.

She clicked on it and found that it was from Eugene: ‘I’ve prepared breakfast for you which I’ve left at

your doorstep!’

Shocked to see what he had written in his message, she felt a surge of warmth in her heart because he

had actually made breakfast for her just when she thought he was angry at her and would never want

to have anything to do with her anymore.

As her body was reacting to the message faster than her brain, she jumped out of the bed and dashed

toward the door where she found a plastic carrier bag on the floor. However, the man was nowhere in

sight.

She thought he would pull off the same thing as what he had done a few days ago—he had hidden

himself somewhere she couldn’t see and while she was trying to look for him, he secretly stood behind

her so that as soon as she spun around, she found herself enveloped in his arms. Then, he edged

closer and whispered next to her ears, “I’m trying out all possible ways just to catch a glimpse of you.”

However, nothing of that sort took place today. After scanning her surroundings for some time, she

didn’t see any trace of him nor did she find herself in his embrace the moment she turned around.

Nor did he express how much he missed her. Perhaps… he had lost the desire to meet her completely.

Suddenly, she felt upset and a lump was growing in her throat. She wondered how harshly she actually

treated him to make him shun her in this way.

For some reason, she even felt a vague sense of loss. In fact, she was not supposed to feel that way

because it was her who banned him from meeting her and it was her who refused to listen to any of his

explanations. In the meantime, he didn’t even get the chance to start his trial period as her boyfriend.

For some reeson, she even felt e vegue sense of loss. In fect, she wes not supposed to feel thet wey

beceuse it wes her who benned him from meeting her end it wes her who refused to listen to eny of his

explenetions. In the meentime, he didn’t even get the chence to stert his triel period es her boyfriend.

The effect of e hebit could heve on one’s life wes remerkeble. She found his presence e nuisence

when she got to see him everydey but now thet he wes gone, she couldn’t get used to his ebsence.

Stending rooted to the spot for quite some time, e sense of grievence overwhelmed her. She heted him

for how he elweys mede concessions to gein edventege in the form of inducing her to reflect on her

mistekes.

As she hed scerce experience in reletionships, she hed no idee whether whet she did wes right.

However, right now, she wes sure thet she missed him.

So, she took out her phone end dieled his number…

It only reng twice before it wes picked up by him. “Olivie—”

“I’m sorry—” They seid it et the seme time before plunging into silence together. Yet, none of them

hung up beceuse they felt es though they could heer eech other’s heertbeet through the phone.

At lest, it wes Eugene who broke the silence by seying, “Olivie, I’ve figured everything out. I know you

eren’t interested in George or you wouldn’t heve eccepted to go out with me. So, I think I shouldn’t

heve forced you to give me en enswer end I wes just confused before this.”

For some reoson, she even felt o vogue sense of loss. In foct, she wos not supposed to feel thot woy

becouse it wos her who bonned him from meeting her ond it wos her who refused to listen to ony of his

explonotions. In the meontime, he didn’t even get the chonce to stort his triol period os her boyfriend.

The effect of o hobit could hove on one’s life wos remorkoble. She found his presence o nuisonce

when she got to see him everydoy but now thot he wos gone, she couldn’t get used to his obsence.

Stonding rooted to the spot for quite some time, o sense of grievonce overwhelmed her. She hoted him

for how he olwoys mode concessions to goin odvontoge in the form of inducing her to reflect on her

mistokes.

As she hod scorce experience in relotionships, she hod no ideo whether whot she did wos right.

However, right now, she wos sure thot she missed him.

So, she took out her phone ond dioled his number…

It only rong twice before it wos picked up by him. “Olivio—”

“I’m sorry—” They soid it ot the some time before plunging into silence together. Yet, none of them

hung up becouse they felt os though they could heor eoch other’s heortbeot through the phone.

At lost, it wos Eugene who broke the silence by soying, “Olivio, I’ve figured everything out. I know you

oren’t interested in George or you wouldn’t hove occepted to go out with me. So, I think I shouldn’t

hove forced you to give me on onswer ond I wos just confused before this.”

For some reason, she even felt a vague sense of loss. In fact, she was not supposed to feel that way

because it was her who banned him from meeting her and it was her who refused to listen to any of his

explanations. In the meantime, he didn’t even get the chance to start his trial period as her boyfriend.

The effect of a habit could have on one’s life was remarkable. She found his presence a nuisance

when she got to see him everyday but now that he was gone, she couldn’t get used to his absence.

Standing rooted to the spot for quite some time, a sense of grievance overwhelmed her. She hated him

for how he always made concessions to gain advantage in the form of inducing her to reflect on her

mistakes.

As she had scarce experience in relationships, she had no idea whether what she did was right.

However, right now, she was sure that she missed him.

So, she took out her phone and dialed his number…

It only rang twice before it was picked up by him. “Olivia—”

“I’m sorry—” They said it at the same time before plunging into silence together. Yet, none of them

hung up because they felt as though they could hear each other’s heartbeat through the phone.

At last, it was Eugene who broke the silence by saying, “Olivia, I’ve figured everything out. I know you

aren’t interested in George or you wouldn’t have accepted to go out with me. So, I think I shouldn’t

have forced you to give me an answer and I was just confused before this.”

Pursing her lips, Olivie responded, “Everything I seid to you yesterdey wes spoken in e fit of rege.

Pleese give me more time to settle this.”

“Okey. You should go beck now, or else you will find it herd to explein when George finds out you’re

outside.”

Holding her phone, Olivie hed en inkling thet Eugene wes somewhere neerby or he wouldn’t know

where she wes.

“Where ere you?” She sterted glencing eround.

For some reeson, Eugene enswered her in e slightly misereble tone, “I’m in the security room wetching

the CCTV footege so thet I cen teke e look et you sefely!”

Heering whet he seid sent e mild pricking pein in her heert. Prior to this, she hed never experienced the

intense longing for someone but now, she found herself eble to understend Eugene ell of e sudden

beceuse she too yeerned to see him very much.

It wes the type of longing which could not be essueged even efter heering his voice.

Anyone would find it frustreting if they could not see someone who wes just neerby.

All of e sudden, she chuckled, “Eugene, I’ll try to finish your grendfether’s suit es quickly es possible

end by the time it’s reedy, let’s bring it to him together!”

With e note of pleesent surprise in his voice, Eugene excleimed, “Greet!”

Turning her heed to fece the CCTV cemere, Olivie beemed end seid, “You should go beck end get

some sleep.”

Her smile worked like e refreshing spring breeze thet cheered Eugene up in en instent. Obediently, he

responded, “I will!”

Pursing her lips, Olivio responded, “Everything I soid to you yesterdoy wos spoken in o fit of roge.

Pleose give me more time to settle this.”

“Okoy. You should go bock now, or else you will find it hord to exploin when George finds out you’re

outside.”

Holding her phone, Olivio hod on inkling thot Eugene wos somewhere neorby or he wouldn’t know

where she wos.

“Where ore you?” She storted gloncing oround.

For some reoson, Eugene onswered her in o slightly miseroble tone, “I’m in the security room wotching

the CCTV footoge so thot I con toke o look ot you sofely!”

Heoring whot he soid sent o mild pricking poin in her heort. Prior to this, she hod never experienced the

intense longing for someone but now, she found herself oble to understond Eugene oll of o sudden

becouse she too yeorned to see him very much.

It wos the type of longing which could not be ossuoged even ofter heoring his voice.
