Chapter 299: Feeling Uneasy
Nathan noticed that Olivia’s expression was somewhat strange, but he didn’t know why. He glanced at the abruptly ended call with Mr. Leer and quickly walked over to Olivia.
“Didn’t you bring an umbrella? Where’s your car? Mr. Leer will take a while to come down; let me take you over first.”
As he spoke, Nathan began to open the umbrella in his hand.
Olivia hurriedly stopped him, “No need, I’m still waiting for someone.”
Hearing this, Nathan didn’t think much of it and stood beside her.
Olivia really didn’t want to see Victor. Knowing he would take a while to come down and seeing the heavy rain outside, she hesitated for a few seconds before discreetly walking away from Nathan.
She wanted to leave before Victor came out.
Just as one foot was about to step into the rain, Nathan’s voice sounded again from behind her.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
“Mr. Leer, you…”
Nathan’s voice abruptly stopped, for reasons unknown.
Immediately after, Olivia felt a chill creeping up behind her.
In her panic, one foot stepped into the rain.
The next second, a black umbrella appeared over her head, and a large hand firmly grasped her wrist, pulling her back to the hotel entrance.
“Are you crazy?” Victor’s voice was full of displeasure.
When he heard Nathan’s greeting on the phone, he guessed that Olivia would try to avoid him, so he left his business partner and hurried down.
As expected, he caught Olivia trying to escape.
Thinking about how Olivia was willing to rush into the heavy rain just to avoid him, Victor felt a sense of irony.
Olivia lowered her eyes to adjust her emotions. When she looked up to meet Victor’s gaze, her expression was calm, “Mr. Leer, what a coincidence.”
Due to the dampness from the rain, the smell of alcohol on Olivia wasn’t strong, but when she spoke, there was still a faint scent of it.
Victor frowned slightly, “Have you been drinking?”
Olivia nodded noncommittally, “I had a little at a gathering with colleagues.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Victor’s deep voice sounded again, “I’ll take you home.”
While speaking, Victor’s large hand was still gripping her wrist.
Olivia struggled but couldn’t break free. She looked somewhat displeased, “No need. The person I’m waiting for has arrived. I can go back by myself. Please let go, Mr. Leer.”
Victor mercilessly exposed her lie, “Who are you waiting for? A driver? With so many people waiting here, how did your driver arrive so quickly?”
Olivia was momentarily speechless but forced herself to reply, “Because I called early. There are so many people here; please let go, Mr. Leer. I don’t want any unnecessary trouble.”
Victor’s eyes darkened slightly as he released her hand as she wished.
Olivia nodded distantly at him and quickly walked into the rain.
Victor followed closely behind her, tilting the black umbrella more towards her.
“Your injury hasn’t healed yet; I’ll take you over.” Victor’s voice echoed in the rain.
Olivia didn’t look back and walked even faster.
“The ground is slippery in the rain; walk slower,” Victor reminded with a frown.
Although Victor kept holding the umbrella for her, the rain was too heavy. Olivia was dressed lightly and felt cold enough to shiver. However, with Victor following behind her, she could only grit her teeth and endure it, responding coldly, “If you could stay away from me, I would walk slower.”
Victor finally slowed his steps.
Without the umbrella’s cover, the rain poured down on Olivia, chilling her to the bone.
Olivia forced herself to walk into the parking lot. She opened the car door and sat in the back seat, waiting for the driver with a chaotic mind.
It seemed like fate was against her; the more she tried to avoid Victor, the more they ran into each other in various places.
Moreover, Victor’s attitude towards her made her feel increasingly uneasy…
