Finally realizing that there must be something wrong with Oliver, his secretary nudges him a little and asks nervously, “Mr. Young, what happened? Are you not feeling well?”
Oliver quivers and gasps at the nudge, then says with a blank face, “No… I am fine. I just saw… some people I know.”
The secretary follows his line of sight and suddenly realizes, “Oh! Isn’t that President Smith? What a coincidence, he is here at the mall today! Shall we I go and greet him?”
Oliver flusters immediately.
Go and face them? With them being affectionate so intimately?
Does he have the courage to do that?
Should he go and greet them as if nothing happened between them? And casually say: Hey! What a coincidence meeting you guys here.
Or… hold on to Elaine’s hand and cry: Elaine, why did you choose Emmett instead of me?
He doesn’t want to be a part of either of these scenes!
Oliver shakes his head fiercely and flatly refuses, “No need for that! There’s not much time before the meeting, let’s go”
“Sure!” Of course, the secretary nods without any objection.
However, someone is not going to let him escape that easily.
Emmett suddenly raises his head and smiles at Oliver, as if he has just spotted him. Then he raises his hand and waves it lightly.
“Hey! Oli, what a coincidence!”
Emmett greets him “enthusiastically”, basically killing Oliver on the spot.
Elaine is startled to hear “Oli”. She quickly raises her head and looks around.
Finally, her eyes land on Oliver with his arm in a sling.
She sees his deathly pale face and his expressions that scream of absolute pain and hurt.
Seeing him look like that, her heart can’t help but grieve.
Is he looking so much in pain because he bled a lot from his arm?
“Oliver!” Elaine frowns and calls out his name with a little worry in her tone.
Oliver manages to bend his lips into a stiff ugly smile and nods, “Hi, Elaine, Emmett!”
Kayden massages his temples.
Sure enough, Master came here prepared.
Having grown up with Emmett, he knows too much about his personality and temperament.
He knows, Emmett never does meaningless things, nor does he fight any battles unprepared.
Compared to Emmett, Oliver’s subtlety is laughable. He is too obvious.
It’s just that Kayden didn’t know that such good friends like his master and Oliver, would really fall out with each other and become enemies just because of a woman.
His master behaving like this is already strange enough, but for his target to be the playboy of the century, Oliver, is even more strange.
These two men are originally the kind of immature playboys who never take women seriously, but now they are both this serious for the same woman.
“Elaine, weren’t you worried about Oliver? Look, what a coincidence, he is here too. Let’s go and greet him.”
Emmett speaks in a very “considerate” tone. He raises his eyes, smiling sharply at Oliver as he places his hand around Elaine’s waist and walks towards Oliver.
Oliver’s heart beats violently, threatening to break out of his ribs as Elaine walks towards him.
Oliver’s secretary has no choice but to reach out a hand and support Oliver.
But he can’t be helped, his whole body is shaking wildly.
By the time Elaine and Emmett reach them, Oliver’s lips are white and his face bloodless.
He is restraining himself with all his strength. He wants to run over and pull Elaine into his arms. He wants to punch Emmett in the face with his fist.
However, he can’t do anything. He can only stare at Elaine with an unwavering gaze and grit his teeth.
Elaine, my love! I swear, I will use all my power to win your heart.
Elaine, will you fall in love with me some day?
I will look forward to that day…
“Hi, Oli. What a coincidence meeting you here!”
Emmett smiles brightly.
Oliver looks at Elaine with deep love, a lump forming in his throat threatening to choke him.
“Elaine, last night… Are you okay?”
Emmett’s face sinks slightly, his expressions turning sour.
How dare Oliver directly ignore his words!
Elaine frowns at the mention of last night.
Last night… how can she explain? How can she tell Oliver that last night she didn’t sleep almost all night because she was being ruthlessly tortured by someone?
