Chapter 782
"Did you know? Is that why you brought me here on purpose?" Olivia turned around and asked John.
"What do you think?"
"John, I don't like to guess."
John chuckled and did not answer her. He went back to the table and poured her a glass of tea. "You must be thirsty. Have a cup of tea."
Olivia did not think much. She took it and drank it all.
Suddenly, she frowned and sniffled the scent in the cup. "What is this? This doesn't taste like tea."
"It's tea, but pure fruit tea."
Olivia was not in the mood to argue with him. She put the cup aside and asked coldly, "Did you bring me here just to have dinner with me?”
John looked at her. "Liv, why is it so hard for me to have dinner with you alone?"
'You know why."
"Aren't you curious why they were seen together?"
Olivia came back to her senses and looked at the room opposite through the window. "Can't they see us through their window?"
"No.”
After a while, she saw Jimmy leaning forward and whispering something to Aaron. Then, he waved his hand at the person inside and left the room.
Olivia wondered who the person hidden from her view was.
"Hasn't Aaron been working for Dorothy? Why is he now with Jimmy?"
John stood behind her as his hand supported his body by holding onto the wall. He was so near her that his chest was close to her back.
"Dorothy had no status and power. Isn’t it normal for him to work forthose who can benefit him more?"
That was true.
When she learned Aaron worked in the Quinton Group, she was worried about this too.
"Aaron majored in design, but the Quinton Group doesn't sell jewelry. Why did he choose to work there then?"
"In these four years, Aaron studied business administration. He has had a busy life."
Olivia scoffed. "I thought you were going to kill him, yet you gave him a chance to finish his studies."
'Yes."
"Who did you talk to about the cooperation?"
John looked at her fondly and chuckled. "Why don’t you guess?"
Olivia's forehead puckered. She hated guessing, especially when it was about John.
"I don't want to guess."
Realizing he had pissed Olivia off, John stopped teasing her and quickly explained to Olivia. "I talked to Mrs. Clarins, but I asked Wes to contact Zyler too."
"Is Jimmy trying to get Aaron to win Mrs. Clarins’s heart?"
John nodded. ‘Yes."
Just as the two of them spoke, Aaron had already approached Mrs. Clarins with a wine glass in one hand and another hand on Mrs. Clarins’s waist. It was mind-blowing for Olivia to watch.
What was wrong with those couples?
Suddenly, a girl rushed in. Aaron's face turned pale. The girl scolded him." Aaron, you are shameless!"
