Olivier leisurely pulled his hand back without any sense of awkwardness after he spoke.
...
Gwenda did not expect anyone to witness the scene prior. Embarrassed, she bit her lip. "Sorry about that."
...
Olivier hummed in response as he nodded.
"I'm not... usually like this." Gwenda blushed, not knowing why she was trying to explain herself.
...
But subconsciously, a part of her did not want Olivier to remember her as cruel and mean.
Hearing that, Olivier chuckled. His voice sounded strangely attractive, which made Gwenda blush even more.
...
Lowering her head, she chastised herself for being such an idiot.
"What on earth was there to explain?" She thought to herself in exasperation.
Olivier's smile grew upon seeing the deepening shade of red on her face.
He pulled over a chair and sat in it, saying, "I didn't get the chance to tell you my name back in the fire. I am Olivier Petit, 28, CEO of Petit Corporation."
"Yeah, I know."
There was not a person in Harmon City who did not know who he was.
Rubbing one side of her face in embarrassment, Gwenda asked, "Why are you here, Mr. Petit?"
"To thank you, and to check on your condition."
Olivier's deep, gentle voice caused Gwenda's heart to flutter once more.
Internally cursing herself for being a fool, Gwenda noticed the injury on his arm. She immediately asked with concern, "I'm fine, but what about you? What did the doctor say about your arm?"
Seeing Gwenda's concern, Olivier raised an eyebrow with a smile, casually replying, "Not much, it's just a second-degree burn with a bit of pus. How well it heals depends on whether or not it gets infected. If it does..."
"What happens if it does?" Gwenda asked anxiously.
...
"Well, I'd have to amputate!"
Outside the door, Otto was shocked.
