“I got it. After having breakfast, send me to work.”
Alan was helpless with her and had to send her to Angel.
Olive’s appearance attracted everyone’s attention in the hotel after all. Many people greeted her along the way.
Back to her office, Secretary Rou rushed at her with an exaggerated expression, “Sister Olive, finally, you’re back.”
Olive smiled, “Do you miss me?”
“How could I be missing you? I’m simply daydreaming about you.” Her boss is still the matchmaker between her and Ted. She is easy going. Aside from being careless at work, she could joke all she wanted. She had always felt lucky to be able to work under her.
“Did you sneakily goof off while I was away?”
“Absolutely not”
“And you also didn’t date or anything else?” Olive was all smile.
“Sister Olive!” Rou stomped her feet and her face was blushing.
“Okay, don’t stomp on the floor anymore. Summon your boyfriend here.”
It turned out that teasing someone was quite entertaining. No wonder Alan always liked to tease her.
Ted knocked on the door and came in. Olive asked about the hotel operations in detail and some general affairs at work. In the end, she also asked, “Does Mrs. Hoyle still live here?”
This old lady that’s hard to deal with could always stir up trouble for her. Although Alan always tried his best to prevent her from openly getting into a confrontation with that old lady alone, avoiding her wasn’t a solution.
She was wondering if she should take the initiative to pay a visit to the old lady.
Ted replied, “We haven’t checked her out from the room but Mrs. Hoyle also doesn’t live here every day. If she’s here, she must be with Ms. Ophelia.”
Ophelia followed her all around but she didn’t feel strange at all. Who let her become the old lady’s respected daughter-in-law? Who let her keep thinking about the old lady’s son?
Sometimes, she also wondered, was that real love or she’s just unwilling to lose him. She’s just like a child who couldn’t stand the sight of her toys being taken by other people.
As for the apology, she didn’t want to show any forbearance referring to Mrs. Hoyle’s position. Having done so many wicked things, losing her was also inevitable. There’s nothing to sympathize with.
There was a visitor in the afternoon, it was Ophelia.
Rou felt that there’s always such a disgusting person in this world, whose evil influence always remained, couldn’t bear to see the others doing well, and tried every means to ruin it.
So, she stopped her without hesitation, “I’m sorry, Miss but without an appointment, you can’t get inside.”
Ophelia was slightly arrogant, “Do you know who I am?”
“I do, Ms. Ophelia Meyer.” That wicked and shameless mistress, Rou despised in her heart.
“Then, why don’t you step aside?” Ophelia reached out to her to push her.
Rou didn’t budge an inch, “I’m sorry, I’m slow-witted. I can’t figure out the certain connection between the two of them. Please cooperate with me.”
“What is your name?” Ophelia asked.
Rou replied fearlessly and without being haughty, “Everyone calls me Rou.”
“What if I break this door today?” Ophelia wasn’t willing to show her weakness.
“Since Ms. Ophelia, you didn’t show any respect, then I don’t mind calling the security guard.”
“Are you threatening me?” Ophelia’s face turned pale.
“I’m just a mere secretary. How could I dare? It’s just that Ms. Ophelia, you’re someone with status and dignity. I think it’s appropriate for you to act rudely.” Rou spoke steadily.
Her patience was being rubbed, Ophelia raised her voice, “You’d better stepped aside…”
“Ms. Ophelia, Angel isn’t a place where you can behave atrociously. If you want to act all mighty, please return to Meyer Group.” Rou wasn’t being gentle at all. She could even stab a person half-dead when she’s being tough.
“You still won’t step aside, right?
“Right” Rou was very determined. If anyone were let in, how could Olive work? So, no matter how fierce this woman is, she won’t let her in. Why should she? This was not her family’s territory.
But Olive had heard the strange commotion outside. She opened the door and said faintly, “Let her in.”
“Ouch,” The fall wasn’t soft, surprising the two people, and made them turned around quickly to look at her.
Rou was supported to stand up by Ted awkwardly, and with a frustrated face, “Sister Olive, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it.”
Olive felt both funny and curious. She didn’t mean to eavesdrop or crush into the room?
Ophelia sneered, “Unqualified people could only have unqualified employees, even have a hobby to eavesdrop.”
Rou thought of how could there be such a shameless woman in this world. She unexpectedly talked about quality to her. If everyone in this world had no quality, it’s still better than this hypocrite woman. She wore an innocent face, however, she had no conscience. There’s a saying, no one can defeat a shameless person. This woman was simply matchless.
“I can’t help it, since there’s a certain person with infamous evil deeds. Such unqualified people like us can only put our guard against such a high-quality person, to avoid harming our Sister Olive. Mr. Hoyle had given his warning repeatedly. If a certain person comes, I should keep an eye on her. There must not be the slightest mishap. Also, I’ve called Mr. Hoyle. I think he might’ve been on his way…”
Even a fool could understand what she meant. If she didn’t want to look for any troubles, she had better scram.
Alan is Ophelia’s Achilles’ heel. As soon as she heard his name, her face changed slightly. Although she tried her best to cover it, she still couldn’t hide her trembling lips.
“You think I’m afraid of him.”
“You are never afraid of anything. Of course, you are not afraid of him.” Olive spoke ahead of Rou. She’s afraid that this kid would provoke Ophelia with her blunt remarks, and would seek her for revenge later, “Ted, bring Rou outside.”
“Sister Olive…” Rou was unwilling, Ted dragged her out of the office. She stomped on his foot, “Why did you drag me out?”
Ted poked her forehead, “What’s the use to show off your bluntness? The way you spoke will only cause Ophelia to have more hatred towards Sister Olive.”
Rou touched her forehead, gave a thought, and put on a long face, “Then, I was no help to Sister Olive?”
“Next time, think first before you speak.” Ted lectured her.
“Okay”
“Ophelia, do you think this is fun?”
If she’s using a bad phrase, she’s like a crazy woman pestering her. Olive really wanted to suggest her to see a psychiatrist.
“As long as I find it interesting, then it’s fine.”
As she spoke, Ophelia went back and sat on the sofa, like someone who had nothing to do. She casually picked up the newspaper on the table and flipped it over.
