Chapter 75
The Substitute Bride Doted by My Billionaire Husband
Chapter 75 Mr. Luâs Phone Greg wanted his order to be carried out with an immediate effect. He urged impatiently, âI donât care. Olive, hurry up and clean the entire place.â
Olive said to Divine, âIâll go clean up.â
As Olive picked the cleaning tools which Greg had kept on the floor. Divine continued to argue with Greg.
âGreg. I donât think that this is what director Hudson ordered. I think youâre deliberately making things difficult for Olive.â
Greg glowered at Divineâs chubby face.
âDivine, how did you become friends with Olive? Well, birds of the same feathers flock together. And Divine, donât call me in front of others ever again. You embarrassed me greatly today.â
Divine felt her eyes become watery.
âGreg, since Iâm an embarrassment to you, then letâs cancel the engagement.â
âYou made this choice. Donât come crying to me for another chance.â Greg quickly threatened, afraid that she would regret it.
âDonât worry, thereâll be no need for that.â Divine collected some of the tools from Oliveâs hands and said, âOlive. Iâll help you. Letâs go.â
Divine really liked Greg. Greg was handsome and was from a wealthy background. He was also a medical student. He was perfect in all aspects.
Olive turned to stare at Divine.
âDivine, donât be sad. Greg isnât suitable for you. Youâll definitely find a better man than him.â
Divine smiled sadly and wiped the tears that had flowed down her cheeks.
âI wonât cry anymore. Heâs not worth my tears.â
They started cleaning and continued untill evening. The institute was about to close, so they students had packed up and gone home.
âOlive, letâs go together.â Divine had proposed.
Olive shook her head.
âDivine, I want to go back to the pharmacy to continue studying the medicines. Youâve worked all day, so hurry home and rest.
Divine wanted staying, but she remembered that she was not interested in medicines at all. So she bade Olive farewell and left.
After Divine had left. Olive headed to the pharmacy. She wasnât familiar with the location of the light switch. She groped her way forward.
âOuch!â She half yelled as she bumped into a wall. Olive covered her forehead with her palm and looked up. In the darkness, was a white face.
âGoodness lord!!â Olive screamed frightenedly.
The lights were turned on, and the dim yellow light filled the room.
Olive could now clearly see the figure before her. It was the man who was sleeping in the pharmacy.
Olive looked at him. The man was very young. He was probably in his early twenties.
He was very handsome and calm.
âWhy didnât you make a sound? You startled me.â
The man didnât utter a word to her. He just stared indifferently at her. He returned to his chair and sat down, he placed his head on the table and went back to sleep.
Olive was of the opinion that the man acted weirdly. But she quickly retracted her gaze and looked at the medicinal substances.
Olive began memorizing the names, but she was so tired that she had fallen asleep after sitting on the chair.
The entire pharmacy was engulfed with silence.
The man who was sleeping had woken up. He grabbed his book which laid on the table and began reading it.
âYoung master.â A man in black had walked in.
âI brought you supper.â The subordinate respectfully handed him a flask of noddles.
The man didnât divert his gaze from his book. He only muttered coldly.
âGo down.â
âYoung master, if you do not want to have this for supper, then I could quickly get you something else. And besides, itâs been a while since you returned to New York, so itâs time to go home.â
âGo down.â The man said for the second time.
For some reasons, the man in black had hastily walked out of the pharmacy.
The man flipped through the medical book, he felt that the contents were boring. He closed the book and stood up. He moved over to Olive.
Olive was wearing a mask. Her black hair was scattered around her cheeks. The man reached out and took off her mask.
Oliveâs phone which laid on the table rang. The man lowered his eyes and glanced at her phone. The word âMr. Augustineâ was on the screen.
The man slowly placed back her mask.
Olive was awakened by the frequent ringing of her phone. She sat up. The man who was lying on the table had disappeared.
Olive quickly picked up her phone and answered the call.
âHello, Mr. Augustine.â
Elvisâs low, yet charismatic voice sounded.
âWhy did you answer my call so late? If you had delayed a little further, I think I could have been on my way to catch the adulterer.â
âMr. Augustine, your imagination has really gone wild. Iâm still here at the research institute. I was exhausted and had dozed off for a while. You have nothing to worry about.â Her sweet voice said softly.
âIâll pick you up.â Elvis tone was now softer than earlier.
âNo, no need. I need to stay back and study. In three days time, Iâll have to answer to director Hudsonâs task. Everyoneâs waiting to see me fail, so they can mock me. So Iâll be studying overtime so no one will have the opportunity to look down on me.â
Elvis didnât persist. He changed the topic and chatted casually.
How many handsome guys have you met today? I heard that there are quite a handful of handsome guys there. and theyâre mostly from wealthy backgrounds.â
Olive felt that in addition to acting aggressively, Elvis also had a strong desire to control her.
She had always insisted on doing things her way, hence the reason he had allowed her to. But now, he was strict with the male friends that she made.
