Please Love Me, Mr. George novel Chapter 54

After a while, I heaved a sigh. "I’m alright. It’s just that I’m missing you!"

How could I tell her about my illness? I didn’t know how because it was not something physical.

Sleepy, Diana simply asked, "Are you going through one of your sleepless phases again, honey?"

I opened my mouth but didn’t know what to say. "Yeah. Go back to sleep. Let’s talk tomorrow!"

I hung up and curled up under the covers, all my hopes dashing to pieces.

Finally, when I almost fell asleep, I felt someone getting in bed and taking me into his arms. It must be Dennis. I was sleepy and didn’t say anything, but closed my eyes and went on sleeping.

I was stressed and hadn’t got enough sleep recently, so I was in a bad place mentally and felt weak during work hours.

Jackie brought some papers for me to sign on, poured me a glass of milk and stared at me, saying, "Ms. Kennedy, you look haggard lately. Maybe you should go to the hospital for a check-up?"

I shook my head. "I’m alright. Go ahead with your work. I didn’t sleep well, and that’s all." Which was the truth.

Worried, Jackie stared at me before she left with the papers in her arms. She took a few steps and stopped, looking back. "How about asking Dr. Bennett to check on you? He came here today. I just ran into him in the elevator!"

Medicine was both Mario’s interest and lifelong pursuit. Although he was one of the shareholders of the George Group, he seldom visited here.

Probably, Dennis planned to invest in medical research in the future, so he set a medical lab for Mario in the office building, and Mario was the one in charge of the project.

I nodded approval.

I could tell I had been in a bad condition recently, so I took a rest in my office before I went to Mario’s.

Mario’s office was on the same floor with Dennis’. I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but happened to see Olivia, in a white dress, standing in Dennis’ office as I walked out of the elevator.

I knew Olivia liked dressing herself as a fairy girl, so I could tell it was her at a glance. It wasn’t news that she would pay Dennis a visit in his office, and I wasn’t in the least interested in what they were talking about, so I went straight to Mario’s office and knocked on the door.

"What is it?" A mellow and deep male voice came through the door. I could tell it was Dennis’ voice immediately because it was so recognizable.

"Dennis, I’ve figured it out. I don’t want to go abroad, nor do I want to get into show business anymore." Olivia seemed very determined, and her tone sounded heavy as she spoke.

"OK."

Dennis’ response was not in the least warm.

Mario didn’t open the door for me, so I kept on knocking. Was he asleep?

"Marcus will come in a while. I’ll ask him to send you back," said Mario flatly.

Disappointed at Dennis’ reaction, Olivia continued after a long pause, "I’ve given up. Isn’t that enough?"
