When Alan saw her hesitation, he kept asking, "Why?"
"Because I hate having an employer who is addicted to harassing me and lets me go to the wolf's nest in the name of promotion," he said.
"You can be my woman. I will give you gold or sliver nest. I can meet all your requirements, wealth, social status and freedom, and all my resources. But you can not betray me, or leave me." He also used his unique calmness, which seemed to control everything, to tempt slowly.
What a tempting condition. Olive just felt a little sad. When did he become that? Or did she understand him?”
"Mr, Hoyle, don't forget that you are a man with a fiancee. I am not interested in becoming your lover. Being a junior is to be poked in the back. You have the capital to make women infatuate. But my mother told me from an early age that east or west, home is the best. As a mistress in a love nest, has never come to a good end. I don't want to be so disgraced.”
Her answer did not make him feel too much unexpected. If she was too easy to be seduced by material things, he had bad taste.
He was even grateful for her refusal, at least he could comfort himself that she was not such a superficial woman.
People were really contradictory. Their thoughts couldn't stand to think carefully.
If thinking further, to put it bluntly, he was afraid to face that Olive was not the one he wanted to find.
After so many years of search, there was no news or trace. He even doubted the existence of the girl who had been chattering in his ears. Or it was a wrong memory after his car accident.
Just when he was at a loss, she appeared, like a bright light, cutting through the fog layers in front of him.
Alan was silent for a while and said softly, "It doesn't matter. I won't force you. You can think about it again. I'm waiting for you changing your mind at any time."
He spoke sincerely. Olive was a little dumb. She shook her head in silence, and laughed, "Mr. Hoyle, this is the end of the joke. Is it time to go to dinner?"
She didn't care what kind of host was here, what kind of banquet was held and what kind of people were present. All in all, people, in the political and business circles, under a certain name, were acting in an unspoken way with each other. But she never thought she would meet Ivy here.
In the banquet hall, the lights were bright, the clothes were fragrant, the ladies were beautiful and graceful and the music was soft. Only when you entered the banquet hall, you would know that it was the engagement banquet of the host’s son.
Alan did not intend to introduce her to others, so she was willing to be quiet. She just took his arm cleverly, kept a decent smile, and made a qualified foil. She met the host with congratulations, and then turned around with him between people who wore sincere or hypocritical faces.
