Female Novel
Chapter 269
While Thomas was still unconscious, Olivia took the time to clean the room. She mopped the floor andwashed his sweat-drenched clothes. Once done, she found her phone and called Molly. “Molly,something came up, so I might be late to work today. Please help me inform the other departmentsabout this.”
Since Thomas was still unconscious, she had to take care of him.
“Alright, Miss Pearson. I understand.”
After hanging up, Olivia filled a bucket with warm water and entered the room to wipe down Thomas’body. She was somewhat of a neat freak, so she felt uncomfortable seeing the sweat and grime on hisbody. Also, his bare upper body had cut her a lot of slack.
I never noticed he has such a great figure. While wiping down his body, she could not help but be inawe. Thomas had always looked skinny, so she did not expect him to have abs and look so toned! Imust admit that this is a pleasant surprise…
Looking at him, she blushed as her heart thumped faster. Oh, Olivia, when have you become soshameless? How can you be so mesmerized by Thomas’ muscles? Oh, gosh! Should I secretly kisshim while he’s asleep?
That thought emerged inside her mind for some unknown reason. She had succeeded in doing so backwhen they were at the hospital, but that was a public place, so she was nervous and did not have thechance to savor the feeling. This time was different; she was in her home, so she had to takeadvantage of this chance and enjoy the feeling!
“Olivia, what are you thinking about? You said it yourself that you were shameless. How can you havesuch an outrageous thought? Remember. You’re a woman, so you should behave like one!”
“Oh, my. Why should you behave? Thomas is your man. What’s so wrong about kissing your man? Gofor it! Be brave and kiss him! It’s just one kiss. You can refuse to do it again!”
There seemed to be two miniature people inside Olivia’s mind, each with different opinions and arguingwith each other.
She shook her head fiercely to force the two voices out of her head and took out a coin, muttering,“Let’s leave it to fate. If it’s heads, I’ll kiss him, and if it’s tails, I won’t kiss him!” Once she finished, shetossed the coin.
Clink! Clink! Clink!
When it was revealed to be tails, she angrily retorted, “Hmph! Why should I let fate decide my matters?I don’t believe them! I will go against all odds!” Then, she got up and quietly approached Thomasbefore kissing him regardless. Smooch!
When their lips met, Olivia felt like an electric current was shooting from her lips to every part of herbody. She opened her eyes and glanced at the man. Fortunately, he was still sound asleep, whichmade her feel more assured. Now, she could finally feel what it was like to kiss someone.
Thomas’ body had an aroma that attracted her, which included the smell of herbal medicine and a faintsmell of tobacco. The smell made her dizzy, and she could not get enough of it. A while later, shemoved away and shyly stared at his face while smacking her lips.
Frankly, Thomas was not the kind of man that one would find particularly attractive at first glance.However, he had a special air of enticement; he possessed tenacity and reliability. All of that made thewoman he was with feel very secure. Moreover, one’s beauty lay in the eyes of the beholder. To Olivia,the Genius of Capitalis or the privileged were nothing compared to Thomas!
She waved her fist and proclaimed, “I must hold on to my man! I will succeed in confessing my love tohim!” Then, she forced herself to regain her composure and continued to wipe down his body. Oncethat was all done, she left the room.
While sitting on the couch in the living room, she held the medicine Thomas had prepared for her lastnight and recalled what happened yesterday. However, the more she thought about it, the angrier shebecame. Who does Leah think she is? How dare she threaten Uncle Declan to trick me there! It seemslike I have to be more careful from now on. Who knows what that old hag might be up to?
Ring—Ring—Ring— Just as she finished her medicine, she heard her phone ringing. It was a call fromAlex Heinz from before. “Hello, Mr. Heinz. What’s the matter?”
“Miss Pearson, I have good news. The five companies you asked me to crack down on have all filed forbankruptcy due to the lack of cash flow. We have obtained more than half of each company’s overallequity, and I’ve regained all our past projects!” His voice sounded extremely excited because he did notexpect things to work so smoothly.
When she heard that, she seemed surprised. “Very good, Mr. Heinz. Have you read the document Isent to your email?”
“Yes, I have!”
“Good. All the projects listed inside the document used to belong to Keyshire Property but were stolenby those b*stards from Pearson Group. Now, I want you to get them back at all costs! But don’t worry. Iwill inform everyone in advance so you can access all the resources you need!”
Back when Olivia escaped from Duban’s grasp and met up with Thomas, she had someone run adetailed investigation. Therefore, she knew everything that Pearson Group had taken from her. I don’t
care who you are or whether you’re from Pearson Group. Those projects are given to me by my man,and no one can lay a finger on them! Not going to return them, eh? Then, I’ll take them back myself!
“Rest assured, Miss Pearson. I won’t let you down!”
Alex was intelligent. Since Olivia had granted him all access, he had to exercise all his efforts intoexecuting this matter perfectly. It had not been long since she joined Keyshire Property, and if hesucceeded, he might be able to become her first-hand man. By then, getting a promotion and a raisewould no longer be a dream!
After the call ended, Olivia pulled her lips into a sneer. “How dare they try to trick my man! They shouldknow the consequences by now. Don’t fret, guys. Let’s take this slow. The show has just started!”novelbin
Like countless lovestruck young women, Thomas was her bottom line. She could tolerate othersmaking impertinent remarks at her but drew the line at others badmouthing him!
She headed upstairs and gently pushed the door to his room, walking in worried because it wasalready 9.00AM. Why is he still asleep at this hour?
