Chapter 39: It's Disgraceful
Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife
Olive couldn't distinguish that it was a casual joke or he also regarded
her as a kind of woman who wanted to find a rich man. In the company,
there were so many such women. When they looked at Alan every day,
they were hungry like wolves and tigers, and they were also unspoken
with shyness.
She laughed dryly.â Great men's favors are uncertain. I know more
about my boss. I should have less chance to make mistakes. Sometimes
I'm clumsy, afraid of being scolded by my boss. It's very humiliating.â
Such an explanation, even she felt it was unreliable. He may not believe
it.
Dave laughed, " It's too exaggerated. Mr. Hoyle dose laugh a little bit.
His cool temper was caused by some special experience. But he is not
the kind of cold-faced and ruthless boss. To the subordinates, in fact, he
cares them very much. You will find that he is very easy to get along
with."
Olive did not dare to inquire about the unknown stories behind those
special experiences for fear of arousing unnecessary doubts.
When they returned to the hotel late at night, she glanced at the closed
door and quickly left away. She dared not stay too long for fear of
being misunderstood that she wanted something.
Dave said goodnight to her at the door, and her hesitation were in his
eyes.
It was not necessarily to let her come on this business trip. The boss
arranged it so that he had his own reason. Just like when they first
came to Luo city, they intended to negotiate with Lynn Company, but
he bought Hengdu by the way with twice the price of the market.
Naturally, these business secrets would not be known by irrelevant
people, and she would not know that either.
The next morning, Olive woke up by the phone alarm. She dared not
sleep too late, and did not know what kind of work would be waiting
for her. Alan was like deciding to let her to accompany temporarily.
The so-called assistant, for her part, was quite disgraceful. She always
felt that something would happen in Sanya that she couldn't control,
and she was anxious.
At 7:30, Alan knocked on her door.
She wore so cool and green instead of the bloated clothes in Luo city.
At the moment, she wore a knee-length white dress elegantly, like a
lilac girl coming out of the picture.
Although he was not at the age of judging people by their appearance,
Alan still was shocked by her beauty. Perhaps, beautiful things always
made people happy.
"Mr. Hoyle." Olive felt his strange eyes, but could not find what was
wrong.
Alan came back to himself and did not hide his eyes. "You are
beautiful."
"Ah?" Olive was stunned for a moment, and then she blushed
inexplicably in his unbridled eyes. "Thank you. That, is it time to start
work?"
"You have to eat before you work. Now that you're ready, go to the
restaurant.â
Did he come to ask her to have breakfast? He was considerate. Olive
thought so. People have been in the restaurant.
The hotel had a buffet breakfast, and when they went there, a few
accompanying people have already eaten there.
"Give me a breakfast.â Alan dropped such a sentence and went to those
people.Dave was there too.
Olive pouted. He really regarded her as a servant? But she still could
not help walking to the food area. Olive could not choose because
there were too many dishes. It was no wonder that some people said
that the buffet meal was that If you didn't eat, you would feel heartache
while if you eat, you would have a stomach.
People like her who didn't eat buffet meals often wanted to taste
everything. But her stomach had limited space, and she also didn't want
to look like green and inexperienced in the eyes of others.
She picked for herself a cup of mango juice and some favorite foods.
And then she picked him an omelet, whole wheat bread, preserved
fruit, some bacon and salmon, plus a cup of warm milk. When she got
there, those people had already left.
Alan gently frowned. "Milk is for women drinking.â
He reached out and adjusted her glass of juice.
Olive stared at him. "According to what you said, juice should be more
suitable for women to drink, because it can make woman more
beautiful."
"So next time, remember to give me a cup of coffee.â He lifted the cup
and took a sip, as if he had made up his mind not to let her change it
back.
Olive stopped, and there was another time?
"Drinking too much coffee is bad to health.â
"Miss Steele, can I understand that this is your concern for me?" Alan
looked at her with a half smile and dark eyes.
Olive hated his playful appearance. Her heart was already in a mess, but
she had to pretend to be calm. "Do Mr. Hoyle always play such a joke
with female staff members? Would you feel a little disqualified?â
"You are the first." With a quiet, magnetic, slow tone, he attracted all
her attention. His slender, white fingers landed on her cheek without
warning, forcing her eyes to watch him without the possibility of
dodging. "Olive, have we ever met before?"
Her heart almost jumped out of the chest. The man's deep eyes in front
of her like a vortex almost drowned her. The temperature of his palm
pressed against her skin like fire.
She would like to answer âYesâ and then tell him about the existence of
Annie.
But she couldn't.
All sourness, sweetness, bitterness and sorrow eventually turned into a
laugh.
Alan frowned. "What are you laughing at?"
"Mr. Hoyle, your lines are out of date.â
"Well?" He raised his voice slightly, with his beautiful eyebrows raising.
