Chapter 410: It Surprised Him
Olivia’s face stiffened, and she pressed her lips together without saying another word.
The journey was silent.
The car slowly came to a stop at the entrance of the Oasis Banquet Hall.
The banquet seemed to have already started, and the entrance was filled with luxury cars.
Seeing this, Olivia couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious. After getting out of the car, she hurried towards the hotel entrance.
Victor frowned slightly and questioned coldly, “Miss Prescott, are you planning to burn bridges after crossing them?”
Olivia stopped in her tracks, looked back at him in confusion, and hesitantly said, “Thank you, Mr. Leer.”
After speaking, she turned to leave again.
Victor’s mocking voice sounded behind her, “Does Miss Prescott think a simple thank you is enough to dismiss me?”
Olivia felt both anxious and helpless but had to force herself to stay calm. “Then what does Mr. Leer want? I’m in a hurry and don’t have time to treat you to coffee.”
Last time, Olivia had dismissed Victor with a cup of coffee after he helped her out of a situation.
This time, she certainly didn’t have the time for that.
Victor, however, smiled meaningfully and walked towards her. “I won’t waste Miss Prescott’s time. I just happen to need a female companion. If Miss Prescott doesn’t mind, we can go up together.”
Hearing this, Olivia pressed her lips together and frowned without responding.
The role of a female companion was too easily misunderstood.
However, she also understood Victor’s personality well.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
If she didn’t agree, he probably wouldn’t let her go up so easily. Moreover, even if she refused, he had other ways to create such an impression.
It was better for her to agree and negotiate terms with him.
With this in mind, Olivia calmly agreed but ignored Victor’s outstretched arm.
Victor smiled but didn’t insist.
The two walked into the hotel side by side.
The main venue of the banquet was on the second floor. When they appeared, all eyes turned to them.
They saw a striking pair dressed in black and white. Although there was no intimate gesture between them, they inexplicably seemed like a perfect match made in heaven.
Everyone almost watched them as they walked into the center of the banquet.
Under the various gazes, Olivia forced herself to remain calm and scanned the crowd. Fortunately, she didn’t see any familiar faces from Seacrest, which made her slightly relieved. However, she still discreetly tried to distance herself from Victor along the way.
The man seemed to sense her intention. No matter where she moved, the distance between them remained unchanged.
Olivia couldn’t help but stop and forced a smile at him. “Mr. Leer probably has other engagements. I won’t disturb you.”
After saying that, she nodded slightly at Victor and turned to walk towards a corner as if escaping.
Victor watched the petite woman almost flee and his eyes darkened, but he didn’t stop her.
Olivia managing to do this much already surprised him.
The so-called female companion was just a whim of his, he didn’t expect Olivia to agree.
Perhaps it was because they weren’t in Seacrest.
Thinking of this, Victor’s lips curled into a self-mocking smile.
On the other side, Olivia stood in a corner and looked up to find Mr. Lee in the crowd when a familiar voice sounded in her ear.
“Olivia, you and Mr. Leer…” Harold, a prominent figure among the younger generation in the medical field, had also received an invitation from the Chan family. Since he had nothing else to do during this period, he decided to attend but didn’t expect to see Olivia here.
He was even more surprised to see her with Victor.
