Chapter 33: An Expert From the Odinaries
Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife
Olive could not understand the unreadable codes on the screen
anyway. She dared not to bother since she noticed that Ivy was in a
mode of working so she did not put the sarcasm of Susie in her mind,
either. That woman was just like that. Olive did not look good to her at
all. She always wanted to make some trouble for Olive and Olive had
got used to it now.
Olive poured a cup of tea for Ivy. He liked tea very much even though
he was running a bar. He also knew the culture of tea. Olive saw a set of
stuffs for making tea and that was quite delicate. It must cost a lot of
money.
It was not known that when Sabrina got here. She hit Olive's shoulder
suddenly and asked with a low sly voice," Hey, I saw you are very
intimate. Is he your boyfriend? I heard that you found a top handsome
guy to help with us when I was down there."
Olive hit back with her elbow," Stop gossiping. Just a good friend.â
" Either a boyfriend or a male intimate. He looks just like a pretty boy in
the TV drama. Handsome and talented. You can consider about him."
Sabrinaâs sight was stick on Ivy and it grew vaguer and vaguer.
" Stop being garrulous here. What's your matter to come up here?"
Olive could only change the topic, or this woman would talk
ceaselessly. She was quite annoying when she was chattering.
"Eh, I nearly forget that. Boss was calling me. I must go to take his
orders immediately. It can't be something terrible, dose it? Please don't
put the terrible things on me. Amitabha, god bless me."
Olive smiled. This woman was never serious at usual.
She moved to the side and sorted the works she had to do these days
in order of level of urgency. She must be familiar with the duties of an
assistant even though she did not know how long she would stay on
the position of an assistant.
Olive looked at the office of Alan unconsciously. The door was still
closed. Maybe the topic he talked with Sabrina was the same on he
talked with Olive since before this, Alan called Adam in and talked with
him for more than an hour.
" Have you get used to your work since you were promoted?â Ivy
suddenly approached Olive.
Olive was a little bit frightened then she returned to normal instantly
and smiled,â It's all good."
"The computers are good now. When are you going to get off work? I
will wait you here." Ivy was still reserved. He was gentle even when he
was talking since, he was afraid of disturbing the working atmosphere.
Olive stunned for a while. When she had not reacted, Susie opened her
red mouth surprisingly,â I have done it?"
With an expression of how possible.
Ivy nodded. He did not act indifferently even though he was offended
by Susie's words just now. He smiled,â Belle, you can try with your
computer now."
A word of belle made Susie blushed suddenly. She never expected that
Olive could have such a capable friend and their relationship looked
quite well.
In the other hand, the man seemed to have an unusual background. His
wearing was a little casual, but they were all well-known brands. Who
was he? How could he solve this problem which had been confused the
whole IT department?
However, Olive was so excited and surprised, and she hugged him in
arms,â Ivy, you are such a talented one without showing off. You are
really shocking us.â
The problem which could not be solved by all those technicists was
unexpectedly solved by him easily.
In fact, Olive did not really know the background of Ivy. Ostensibly, he
was a drunkard in the park, a boss of a bar and sometimes a guitar
player of a bar band. He got an expensive apartment and he was a
bachelor tile now.
Even though he must be a high born, Olive had never asked about it.
Since they became friends for five years, she only knew that he got
affection and faith. These were enough.
When Olive and Ivy were holding each other in arms, the door of Alan's
office was opened. Behind Sabrina, Alan was there with his face cold
and even the air was lowered to minus degree.
Olive felt the sight was containing ice blades. The smile on her face was
nearly frozen. She moved her arms away from Ivy's arms and said
embarrassedly,â Mr. Hoyle."
Ivy looked at Alan lightly. There was a haze that could not be noticed
by others flashed in his eyes.
"Your friend?" Alan asked directly.
" Yes, this is Ivy. A friend I asked to help with our computers. Ivy, this is
our boss, Mr. Hoyle." Olive simply introduced them to each other.
Somehow, she saw a flame at the point that two men's sight touched
but it was vanished instantly like it was her illusion.
Was she thinking too much?
Olive felt Ivy was a little strange. But she could not tell which part of
him was strange.
" You can go to the financing to take your payment directly.â Alan said
without any emotion but, suddenly he gave a feeling of commanding
to Olive.
Ivy smiled lightly," No need. If Mr. Hoyle wants to show your gratitude,
give a permission to Olive to let her get off work one hour earlier.â
It was 4:30 in the afternoon and the time of off duty was earlier in
winter.
Olive stunned and she felt the coldness of the expression of Alan was
stronger and stronger. But there was still a smile on his mouth. He said
without emotion,â No problem. Just remember the time for working
tomorrow, Miss Steele.â
Olive must show her gratitude since Ivy did a big favor for her. She
threw her bag to her back when she just got out from the building,"
Let's go. The dinner is on me to show my gratitude.â
lvy seemed a little bit angry,â Do we have to be as courteous as this?"
"We don't but the we have to eat dinner anyway. Or, are you following
the fashion of reducing weight?" Olive looked him up and down with a
defiant sight. He was 180cm tall, not fat nor thin. He would be a
pearlescent model if he stands on the catwalk.
Ivy laughed," Fine. I can never beat you up by mouth. Isn't you afraid of
that I will eat up your wallet today?"
"Never mind, you did a big favor for the company. I can just go to find
the financing and apply for reimbursement.â Olive made such a fuss
about that.
"You are a typical person that takes advantage from the public to satisfy
your own wish.â
"It is legitimate anyway." After Olive said that, she laughed herself, too
