She caught a whiff of a faint fragrance.
It was a familiar scent...
Olivia raised her head in shock.
She would never be tired of seeing the handsome face of Bruce Tucker.
"What are you..."
Olivia trailed off, but Bruce covered her mouth the next second.
He puts finger to his lips, bent down, and approached her.
Olivia nodded.
Outside the debris room, Mr.Tubman looked around and did not see anyone.
He saw a black kitten, only then did he return to what he was doing, this time closing and locking the door.
Olivia heaved a sigh of relief.
If she had been caught, it would have been really embarrassing.
Fortunately, Bruce had pulled her.
She was about to express her gratitude when Bruce shook his head and leaned closer to her ear.
"If we go out now, we'll be discovered,’ he said in a low voice.
There was only a wall between them and Mr.Tubman.
‘The Tubmans are rich—how could they not afford to give their servants a better place to live in?’ Olivia thought.
The sound insulation in the room was poor, and she could hear every tiny noise from the next door; although she had never done that, it was evident what the people next door were doing.
Olivia's face instantly turned red.
She was so embarrassed she wished she could dig a hole and bury herself in it.
It was precisely because she was completely embarrassed that she had not noticed that Bruce was hugging her.
The junk room was small, and the two of them were extremely close.
Their heartbeats could be clearly heard.
And Olivia could still smell him...
Bruce lowered his head and saw that Olivia's soft hair was hanging on his arm.
There was also that exquisite red face...
He suddenly had the urge to tease her.
"What kind of luck do you have?" he asked, his voice low.
"You're in trouble everywhere’ When Olivia heard this, she almost wanted to cry.
She was first confronted by Leonard, and then Eleanor blocked her.
Those two siblings were simply her nemeses.
They bothered her so much that she had wandered around the garden without a place to go, only to encounter something like this...
As Olivia thought about it, she suddenly looked up and raised her brow.
"What about you?" he asked Bruce doubtfully.
"Why are you here?"
"I just happened to pass by.
"Just passing by?"
Olivia's face was filled with suspicion.It was Bruce's turn to raise his eyebrow.
"As Leonard's uncle, is it that strange for me to be here?"
He had a point, so Olivia nodded.
She had forgotten that Bruce was connected to the Tubmans.
His presence here had also saved her from embarrassment.
This was all too much! Of course, Bruce would never say anything, but he had followed Olivia all the way here...
For no other reason, he just wanted to see what surprises this girl had in store for him.
As expected, listening to the sound coming from the next room, he was really surprised.
Olivia sincerely apologized, "Sorry for following you that time."
She had only dressed Bruce's wounds that time in the woods.
