“It’s not abuse. But the dining table is like a black, heavy cloud that’ll rain if not being careful when eating at Daddy’s place. It makes me lose my appetite.” Annie lifted her hand up to wipe her mouth. Seeing that Alan was staring deeply at her, she couldn’t help but stuck out her tongue, “Dad, are you not happy with what I said?”
It wasn’t that Alan was upset, but felt like he owed his child. He reached out to rub the top of her hair, “You’re telling the truth and dad isn’t unhappy, but I feel a little sorry for you and mommy.”
Chloe murmured, “There’s no difference. Consider you have conscience.”
Olive put a food into his bowl and smiled, “Enough. Nothing’s to feel sorry of. Consider I’m lucky to have taken a good man like you to Luo City. It’s quite normal for the old lady gets a little angry.”
Olive’s parents secretly sighed. It was really sad seeing the relationship between their daughter and her mother-in-law still had no progress.
That afternoon, Olive couldn’t take a break and went to the hotel. She had brought small fights for everyone in the general manager.
“I want it too,” her secretary exclaimed with joy.
“Of course. You even get couple set with Ted. Think of them as my wedding gift in advance for you two. But, open them after you guys finish your work,” Olive smiled. She swept her eyes around the room and couldn’t find her assistant’s shadow. “Rou, call Ted to my office.”
“Okay.” Her secretary hugged Ted’s gift in her arms and happily returned to her seat to make a call.
Although they weren’t allowed to open it now, when Olive was gone, no one could stop their impatience and there was rustling noises.
“Wow. It’s my favorite perfume.”
“The lipstick that I want.”
“My dream, out-of-print Jackson’s disc. Cool.”
What’s yours?”
“An autographed photo of my prince charming.”
Amidst the joy, someone asked suspiciously, “How does Director Steele know that these are what we like?”
“Yeah. This is amazing.”
Not really. It was that Olive sometimes hung out with them and occasionally attend their after get off work parties. Men and women played together and talked about everything, including what hobbies they usually had. They spoke unintentionally, but she listened tentatively.
Not all of these gifts were prepared by her alone. There were some things that she wasn’t capable of, but it didn’t matter. Someone was, for example, Kent Bai, the capable people and strangers under him. They weren’t useless. Besides, those things were easy for them, but for some people who desired it, they were hopeless.
Ted rushed over after receiving the call, “Olive, you’re back.”
“Yeah. I just got off the plan. There aren’t any problems with the hotel, right?”
Ted answered, “No, but…”
Olive slightly frowned at his hesitation, “But what?”
“I don’t if you’ve heard that the chairman has found his biological daughter.”
So that was what it was. She thought it was something big. She was surprised at first. “I’ve heard. What’s the problem?”
“Nothing. But you won’t leave not that she’s back, right? As far as I know, that woman named Susan is quite capable. Not only she’s a top business student, she also holds an important position in a large foreign company. I think the chairman has the meaning to ask her to resign and come back to take care of the hotel. I know that Mr. Hoyle has long wanted you to work for him. You won’t take this opportunity to leave the hotel, right? We don’t want you to leave.”
Ted was being sincere and not flattering her. On the surface, he was mixed up with this hotel, but in the end, he was just a worker.
If a worker could meet a good boss who appreciated and used his potential, it was his luck. And he cherished this luck.
“I haven’t said I want to leave. Why are you being nervous here?” Olive rolled her eyes at him. If she wanted to leave, she had to figure out the truth first before that. She couldn’t give the hotel to someone with unknown origin.
Ted snickered, “I’m just worried. If you’re leaving, where are we going to find a good leader like you?”
