Thump!
Thump!
"President Riley, I've placed the file containing the information of all employees in the company's design department on your table. Is there anything else that you need me to do?"
Olivia was seated at the chief designer's office in the morning but kept getting distracted.
Her heart beat uncontrollably and strongly at times, and her face would flush red simultaneously. The experience made her feel strange.
When she recalled how seductive Xavier was in the elevator last night, her heart would race rapidly, and it hadn't stopped since yesterday.
Anna's voice rang beside her ears repeatedly, but it was unsure whether Olivia had heard Anna's words or not as Olivia was unresponsive.
Anxious, Anna stood frozen in place. She didn't know whether to return to her seat and continue her tasks or to wait around for Olivia's reaction.
After a long while, Olivia took a deep breath and regained her senses from the various adverse reactions caused by Xavier. She cursed Xavier inwardly, only to turn around and notice Anna was still beside her.
"What's wrong? Is something wrong?" Olivia asked.
Anna nearly cried when Olivia asked her those questions. She shook her head. "No. Nothing is wrong. I... I'll make you a cup of coffee!"
After saying that, she hurriedly grabbed the coffee cup from Olivia's table and ran out.
Olivia scratched her head, feeling she was not acting like her usual self today. If she hadn't just returned from abroad and needed to familiarize herself with many procedures in the company, she would have chosen to go home and nap.
After the morning's events ended, Olivia received a call from Alice, her overseas personal assistant.
"President Riley, we have prepared the equipment and materials you need. Do we need to send them over to you today?"
"Yes. Please give it a thorough check. Don't miss any of the medicine and equipment," Olivia replied.
"Noted."
"Ensure you align your schedule with when the equipment arrives in the country. You need to be here the day after the equipment arrives. This surgery is very important to me. I don't trust anyone except you."
"Yes. Don't worry. I will make the necessary arrangements."
After hanging up the phone, Olivia saw Anna standing at the door, wanting to come in but not daring to.
"Come in." Olivia returned to the chair lazily and sat down. "Don't be nervous. This job is like any other. Just do the work I asked you to do well. I'm not a difficult person with many requirements."
Anna wrung her fingers and nodded. "Yes, President Riley."
"You've been here for a few days already. Have you gotten used to your job?" Olivia smiled as she tapped her fingers on the table casually.
Anna shook her head. "I'm still trying hard to adapt. But..." She blushed, glanced at Olivia secretly, and said mischievously, "I'm honored to be working with you!"
Olivia grinned. "Don't get ahead of yourself. I'm very strict when it comes to the job. Being my assistant, you must be serious and meticulous in everything you do!"
Anna straightened her back immediately and voiced, "Yes, President Riley."
Olivia received a call from the hospital in the afternoon, asking her to visit them.
Before Olivia reached Sofia's ward, she saw Dr. Zhang rushing toward her, exclaiming excitedly, "Ms. Xia, your mom's condition is improving!"
Olivia was confused by his statement, for she didn't know what he was saying.
Seemingly realizing he had made a mistake, Dr Zhang hurriedly changed his words, "No, no, I mean, Dr. Xue has responded to the request for her to be in charge of your mom's surgery!"
