Unfinished Business with You
Chapter 99
With a grin, Eugene said, âYouâre most welcome. They chose to cooperate with your magazine
publisher simply because they think thereâs potential in helping them to generate more sales, which is
basically a win-win collaboration for both, so donât mention it.â

Hearing that, Kate was so touched and even had the sudden urge to sell off Olivia. âThank you for all
that youâve done. In the future, if thereâs anything that requires our help, please donât hesitate to ask.
Olivia is very capable! Sheâs nice and has such a pleasant personality. Itâs simply a great blessing to be
friends with her!â
Picking up a fishball, Olivia threw it into Kateâs bowl. âEat up!â she ordered, hinting her to keep her
mouth shut.
âExactly, youâve gotta keep a low profile. Donât go overboard,â ridiculed Nathan.
Picking up another prawn ball, Olivia dumped it into Nathanâs bowl and warned, âShut up and eat up
too!â These two just wouldnât quit embarrassing me...
With the corner of his mouth curved up, Eugene really enjoyed the free and unrestrained atmosphere.
âIâm lucky to be the one to receive such a blessing,â he chimed in.
Putting on a smile, Olivia said, âThen I guess all of you have to treat me better. Otherwise, Iâll take back
all the blessings!â
Being nomophobic, Kate was browsing on her phone when all of a sudden, she burst out laughing
while taking a peek at Eugene.
âWhat are you laughing at?â Nathan asked.
âTake a look at this.â Kate passed her phone to Nathan, and he laughed like a drain too.
Glaring at them, Olivia complained, âWhy are you two laughing among yourselves? Sharing is caring!â
âTwo naked men were tied by the Jordan Bridge and were seen freezing in the cold throughout the
night. Oh my, Iâm about to die laughing!â Nathan guffawed as he wiped the tears off his eyes.
Laughing along, Kate jested, âArenât they afraid that it will cause an accident? Since the drivers will be
busy checking them out instead of paying attention on the road.â
Rolling her eyes at them, Olivia said, âWhatâs so funny about that?â
Throughout the conversation, Eugene didnât utter a word. He was busy eating, as though the news
mentioned had got nothing to do with him.
When the dinner was coming to an end, everyone was a little tipsy.
Both Nathan and Kate couldnât hold their drink. After drinking a couple of rounds, both of them had
reached their limits. If Eugene hadnât been around, they wouldâve probably been having a live concert
and singing their hearts out already.
Eugene was better at handling alcohol, but he gradually felt a little tipsy too. If compared with Olivia, he
was no match at all.
Noticing the light flashed on his cell phone, Eugene knew Curtis had arrived. Getting up from his seat,
he said, âItâs late, so Iâll make a move now. Drop me a call if thereâs anything.â
âAlright,â Olivia replied politely and didnât stop him from leaving.
Trying to stay sober, Nathan and Kate got up to send Eugene off and, later, took their leave too.
Upon sending them off, Olivia ushered North the sleepyhead into his room and got out to clean up the
table.
After spending an hour clearing up the whole mess, Olivia went into her room. While browsing on her
phone, she read the news which Kate had mentioned about the two men.
It was a 10 seconds video, and the image quality was rather clear. At first sight, Olivia could recognize
that it was the exact two men who came to her house with Robinâthe men with bad intentions.
If she didnât know it was the both of them, she would have thought there was nothing amusing about
this news.
Somehow, she had a gut feeling that it was Eugeneâs doings.
Initially, when Eugene handed Robin over to Aleena today as a warning, she was puzzled for a moment
because she didnât see the other two men with him. Quelle surprise! They were on the bridge. Eugene
did not spare anyone.
Olivia couldnât find words to describe her current feelings.
After returning here for some time, he did have some misconceptions about her character, but putting
that aside, he seemed to be helping her all the timeâfrom solving the kidâs fighting issues to yesterday
nightâs ceremony, as well as defending her from Robin.
She knew very well that his intention was to repay the kindness, all because she had saved his
grandpa. Hence, he made every effort to help her. Frankly speaking, she was really touched by all he
had done.
