When Olive received the call, she was very busy and wanted to say, can we make it another day?
This unexpected matter caught her off guard. What happened on Microblog made her feel that this was not a simple case of unclean food but a deliberate attempt to get Angel Holiday Hotel into trouble. Otherwise, there would not be so many hired netizens who made this incident a trending topic.
Being in a trending topic was not bad. At least, Angel Holiday Hotel became more famous. Maybe this was a good chance for Angel Holiday Hotel. What she should consider was how to win publicity and the trust of customers for it.
She asked Alan to wait for a while. Alan said, "Okay, take your time."
But after waiting for half an hour, he saw Olive coming with a heavy face.
"Did you hit a snag at work?" He asked.
"That was obvious to you?" Olive didn't think he could see anything from her expression. She adjusted her state in the elevator before she walked out.
"Tell me what happened."
"Something went wrong in the catering department, but it's almost resolved." She was waiting for news from Ivy.
She had a conjecture, but had no complete evidence. Therefore, she couldn't convict that person directly.
"Mom, how can you ignore me." Annie poked her head out between the two seats.
"I'm sorry, baby, Mommy was so busy this afternoon. Sit back." Olive turned her head and kissed her daughter's little cheek. Unexpectedly, she was slightly taken aback when she saw a familiar face.
"Olive, nice to see you." Ada chuckled, remembering the humiliating thing of that day.
Alan held the steering wheel in both hands and introduced, "Ada Hoyle, the craziest one in the Hoyle family. You'd better be careful, in case you would be fooled by her."
Olive smiled, "That proves that she has an obsession in a certain field. I guess she is obsessed with the clothing business at present."
Ada cheered, "Olive, you are awesome. You don't know how mean my brother and Aoba are. They will only discourage me. If you were in the back seat, I would hug you. You understand me."
Alan shook his head, "We only want you to be down-to-earth. You wasted your money again in Paris, didn't you?"
"Yes, but I came back with a few orders, which proves that some people like my work and that of our company's designers," Ada argued.
"I guess what you earn from those orders is not enough to cover the expense of your promotional activities."
What Alan said was true. Ada had no confidence to refute.
Alan continued, "I told you to be down-to-earth and manage your domestic market first, but you had to be over-ambitious to break into the international market. You ran into snags and be foiled abroad, didn't you?"
"I have started to run the domestic market." Ada said in a low voice, but soon she regained her confidence, "I will definitely become a world-class fashion designer one day."
"If you have a dream and are willing to work hard, it's possible to achieve it." Olive, fearing that they would fall into a fight, quickly mediated.
Annie said, "Auntie, you believe you can do that."
It was said that three women were enough for a drama. If Chloe got together with the three of them, the scene would be lively.
At the supermarket, to save time, they went straight to the food ingredients section.
Out of courtesy, Olive asked Ada, "What do you want to eat?"
"I'm not a picky eater. I'll eat whatever you make. But I prefer mild food. I will get acne if I eat spicy food." Ada directly told her dietary preferences.
"Then I'll make a two-flavor hot pot. Kent prefers spicy flavors. How about half spicy and half mild?" Olive discussed with Alan.
Alan pushed the shopping cart with his daughter sitting in the cart and smiled, "You are the chef tonight, so it's up to you."
The two people gathered together to choose the ingredients, and talked softly from time to time, which made Ada feel that they were like an ordinary couple who were doing the most ordinary things, but it was so warm.
She saw the happy expression on her brother's face from time to time. Before, his smile was so hollow and distant.
When Olive was selecting fish with a net, Ada quietly touched his brother, "Brother, it seems that you are enjoying your married life."
Alan smiled, "Aoba has already found the one he loves. Shouldn't you also make an effort to get yourself married? If you keep delaying, you will become a single old lady."
Ada glared, "Are you serious? Don't make fun of me."
Alan's eyes rested on his wife, "It was my sincere advice. The life your sister-in-law and I are living right now is wonderful, and you can't experience it without being in it.
Ada sighed inaudibly behind him. It was not easy to find true love. He didn't know that the man she once wished to marry revealed the ugliest side of human nature in the end.
Because they were pressed for time, they finished shopping quickly.
When they returned to the villa, Ada followed into the kitchen, "Olive, let me help you."
Alan was helping in the kitchen. Hearing this, he said contemptuously, "Come on, you would only make the kitchen a mess."
