Chapter 303 Is He Jealous?
“Didn’t you tell me before that Eugene is a womanizer? You’d better not get too close with him or people might
start getting the wrong idea that you and him are dating.”
Olivia quickly responded, “I understand that but after all, he hired me for the job. I have to be responsible for it and
make sure he’s happy with my work.”
George didn’t make any comment. He might seem unruffled but in fact, he had been observing the expression on
her face.
She seemed delighted although she was trying hard to conceal her joy.
Judging from her relaxed eyes and brows, how she had been humming songs without her realizing and the
frequency she stared out of the window, he knew she was looking forward to meeting Eugene.
For some reason, George felt jealous and even rage lurking deep down inside him. Although the sight of her so
happy because of Eugene pained him, he still kept his eyes glued to her as though he was trying to punish himself.
Then, he spotted a figure walking toward the door of their unit from the corner of his eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKnowing it was Eugene, he rose to his feet instinctively and made his way toward Olivia.
“Olivia…” Olivia, who had been constantly checking the door, turned around out of instinct when she heard her
name.
“George, what’s the matter?”
The sight of George somehow gave her jitters as she fixed her gaze at him, wondering what exactly he wanted to
do.
“Look at what a mess you are,” George remarked in a gentle voice after removing a white thread from her hair.
Trying to sound casual, he asked, “When are we setting off?”
Olivia looked slightly puzzled as she didn’t know what he meant.
With his eyes brimming with affection, George teased her, “Don’t you remember what you promised me before,
you muddy-headed girl?”
A look of enlightenment took over her face. “Oh, I did promise to bring you around, didn’t I? Let’s do that after I
help Eugene’s father with the fitting of the suit. Do you have any specific place in mind to visit?”
George cast a glance at Eugene who had stepped into the place before answering in a carefree tone, “As I’ve not
been in the country for years, I’ll just go with your plan. It doesn’t matter as long as I get to be with you.”
Olivia suggested, “Why don’t we visit the hot spring since you told me it has health benefits?”
George responded with ease, “Sounds great to me.”
“Very well, I’ll plan the itinerary first and then we’ll set off tomorrow!” Olivia announced with a smile.
After responding to her with an ‘oh’, George puckered his lips toward the door and said, “Your client is here.”
Astonished, she spun around and immediately noticed Eugene by the door.
There seemed to be nothing special about his look today but she could tell that he had actually made an effort to
dress up. His hair was styled in a more suave and cool manner and even the tie and cufflinks he wore were new.
Therefore, she was sure he had spent a considerable amount of time in front of the mirror to make sure he looked
great.
Standing rooted to the spot, he was staring intently at her with his brooding eyes.
Her heart sank at that moment.
Damn it, was he jealous after overhearing her conversation with George?
She eyed George skeptically wondering whether he had broached the subject of the trip just now deliberately.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFeeling anxious, she started fervently praying for Eugene to hold his temper and then made her way over with a
wide grin on her face and greeted him politely, “Mr. Nolan!”
Eugene had never expected that he would chance upon the two of them sitting so close to each other discussing
where to go on the next trip while he was standing there like an outsider.
At first, he was ecstatic when he received Olivia’s call asking him to come over to pick her up. Like a schoolboy
going on his first date, he was so excited about it that he woke up early this morning just to dress himself up.
However, his enthusiasm was totally dampened by reality at the moment.
He felt a burning desire to pull the woman into his arms and commanded the man to just go back to where he
came from because she belonged to him.
Nonetheless, he knew very well about the repercussions if he really did that. It wasn’t even guaranteed that she
would go with him but the only thing he could be sure of was that she would definitely give him a cold shoulder
after that.
The last thing he wanted was to get into another fight with her after they just patched things up.
Although raging waves of emotion were surging inside him, he looked unperturbed on the outside.
“Have you completed the suit?”
