Female Novel
Chapter 77
Thomas chuckled and paid the bill. Then, he took Olivia to the biggest amusement park in the city.Unbeknownst to them, the moment they set off, an Audi was following them some distance away. Theywere close enough to keep an eye on Thomas’ car but far enough for Thomas not to notice them.
“Holy sh*t. Did she just celebrate her birthday with her driver?” one of the bodyguards blurted out,confused. That’s Olivia Pearson. The most beautiful woman in the city and the firstborn of thePearsons. She’s a VVIP, yet instead of spending her free time talking to the rich and powerful, she foolsaround with her driver?! If news gets out, people are going to laugh at her.
The bodyguard in the passenger seat sighed. “Who knows what goes on in her head? Even I feelembarrassed for her.” She shouldn’t be so close to another man. If news gets out, she will mostcertainly be the thing of gossip. She’s the president of a powerful company, while the other guy is just aformer military man. She’s leagues above him. If anyone finds out, they’re going to think they’re dating.
The driver sighed. “Not like we get to tell them what they should do. Just do our job, mate. Keep youreyes on them.”
“Yeah. We’re not that much better than Thomas, anyway.”
Thomas came to Paradise Amusement Park, and Olivia hopped off like a bunny who had just come tothe great plains. “Oh, did you see that? That’s a roller coaster! I want to have a go! Come with me!”
A moment later…
“My gosh, I’m falling! This is so exciting!” she screamed at the top of her lungs, and Thomas sat besideher, staring at the excited lady.
The amusement park was brightly lit, and not a hint of the darkness of the night was seen. As the lightshone on Olivia, Thomas, for a moment, thought she was an angel who fell on Earth. She’s gorgeous.
So gorgeous that I can’t even take my eyes off her. He found himself getting lost in her eyes. If hehadn’t seen it for himself, he would never have thought this woman was the president of a bigcompany.
Once they came down from the roller coaster, Olivia asked, “Aren’t you scared?” Aside from hershrieks, she couldn’t recall hearing Thomas’ screaming during the ride earlier.
The man smiled. Yeah, right. I used to jump off higher places and had nothing but a parachutesupporting me. This is child’s play. “What else do you want to play?”
“Haunted house. I’ve always wondered if there are ghosts inside.” Her eyes shone with curiosity.
“Ah, there are no ghosts in this world,” Thomas muttered.
“Yeah, right. I bet you’ll cry when you get inside.”
“Nope. I think you should be the one prepared for some frights.”
“Hah! I’ve been brave since I was a kid. This won’t scare me.”
Five minutes later, Olivia screamed and pounced into Thomas’ embrace.
He furrowed his brows upon the impact. That hit just now had slammed into his wound. It hurt. “It’salright. It’s a human hiding behind the disguise.” He pointed at the vampire that scared the lady.novelbin
“I see.” She nodded while still keeping her hold on his arm. That was her only source of security. Oncethey left the haunted house, she resumed her happy self. This wasn’t a chance she could get everyday, so she wanted to savor every moment, going onto all the rides she had never had the opportunityto go onto.
She finally got the chance to experience roller coasters and haunted houses. No longer did she have todream about it. She could feel it for herself. Afterward, they went onto a Ferris wheel and watched thecity shrouded in the night. “Irieson is gorgeous,” said Olivia. It was her first time enjoying the scenery ofthe city, even though she was born and bred here.
“You know, my biggest dream isn’t becoming a respected company president. I just want to be aregular girl and marry someone who loves me. Then, we can buy a house by the seaside. Wheneverwe’re exhausted, we’ll rest, and whenever we have time, we’ll swim in the sea. It’s a good life.”
Thomas looked at her. That’s a regular wish, but she probably doesn’t know that it’s hard to get for her.Ever since she was born, she was destined to be a sacrifice. If I didn’t help her, she would never live tosee her wish fulfilled. I can’t let her be sacrificed. She’s a human, not an object. Her life is hers tocontrol, not anyone else’s. She’s not a puppet.
“Oh, I wanna play with that gun,” Olivia chirped the moment they got off the Ferris wheel.
It was obvious she was still excited, and Thomas wouldn’t want to ruin her mood. He bought themsome tickets so she could play all she wanted.
She fired off three shots, but none hit. “Aww, why can’t I hit them?” she grumbled.
The man approached her with a smile and taught her how to shoot. “Keep your eyes on the target andhold the gun firmly. Calm your heart and breath.”
If the special forces knew what was happening now, they’d be jealous of Olivia. Having the King ofMarksmen teaching them how to shoot was something they could never hope for, but now, that kind ofluck had fallen upon a woman who had no idea how to shoot. He even taught her step by step and witha toy gun too.
Meanwhile, Olivia could barely stay calm. The moment Thomas touched her hand, her heart startedthumping furiously, and she went red. This was different from that time in the haunted house. She didn’trealize what she was doing then, but now she was very much aware of the close proximity betweenthem.
Though, Thomas didn’t feel anything. He was still trying to teach her how to shoot. That was his instinctkicking in. Every time he was using a gun, he would get into the flow, even if it was just a toy gun.
“You shoot it. I want that big plushie. The white one.” Even though Thomas was teaching her seriously,Olivia was not in the headspace to learn. She could only think about how close they were standing, andthere was no way she could listen to the lessons.
