The room was amazingly quiet. It was exactly not a good news.
Dave also felt that Olive was suspicious, but he could not speak out where was strange. It seemed that she was concealing something.
"Mr Hoyle..."
Alan waved his other hand. "You go and help me find out another thing. Who let Hengdu's finance settle her salary, and give me the answer tomorrow."
"Yes." Dave responded and went out.
Alan got up, took off his clothes and went into the bathroom. He filled a jar of hot water and drowned himself.
There was someone who delivered the instructions in the name of him. Perhaps that person was her misgiving.
But Olive, if you were threatened, why didn't you tell me that? Didn't you believe that I could protect you with my ability now? Or Was someone threatening you with me?
The only truth would be revealed one day.
Olive sneezed several times at home and attracted the attention of the whole family.
Father Steele touched her forehead. "Did you catch a cold?"
"No." Olive shrugged her nose, took the paper towel her daughter handed over and wiped her nose, then kissed her lovely daughter on her face.
"Isn't it that someone is missing you?" Chloe laughed.
"It will be fine if nobody scolds me. Hey, you are still at home at this time. Don't you have to go to work?" Olive asked.
Chloe said, "Recuperate and build up strength today."
Mother Steele took a cup of hot tea to Olive and sat down, then she said. "Chloe, those who work in the office still have one or two days to rest a week. You only have one day to rest for half a month. You are capable of supporting your life, so you should have more rest in the future."
Chloe said with a smile, "Mom, I am not as capable as Olive who can work hard and be appreciated wherever she works. I am also used to being idle so that I can't stand being bound by the rules and regulations of the office. But I can not be idle and do nothing, just living and eating here freely all the time, can I?"
Mother Steele glanced at her. "You have not lived and eaten here freely. You have taken Annie to and from school every day, and you have done the housework. You are not a lazy person. I don't mean that being a singer in bars is shamed. I am just afraid that it will do harm to your health if you sing so late every day."
"Godmother, I know you're the kindest to me." Chloe held her neck and kissed her, then loosened her. "Oh..."
She went to the room and took out her wallet, turned out a pile of money, and handed it to Mother Steele. "This is the cost of living this month. If it is not enough, I will give you more next month."
Olive said with a smile, "Did Ivy pay out your wages?"
Chloe laughed, "It is true that it is comfortable that spending my own money."
