Wayne gathered all the military experts for an urgent meeting. The meeting lasted for the entire day. No matter what calculations his think tank ran, there was only one result—defeat.
They only had one option. That was to accept the ceasefire agreement and stop their assault on Dexim City.
Otherwise, Arlandia and Veutron would join forces and invade Carathia. That was something Wayne didn't want to see.
In the next few days, Wayne was so busy he didn't even return to the presidential palace. Olivia started to get anxious after waiting for a few days. The places she could go to were limited.
She couldn't even get close to where Wayne worked. So, there was no way she was getting that ring.
It was like Wayne had completely forgotten about her. She was left in the presidential palace with the maids taking care of her.
Her mission wasn't progressing at all. She didn't want to sit around and wait. When she was climbing down from a pipe on the second floor, someone was alerted by the noise.
A commanding male voice suddenly sounded. "Who's there?"
Olivia missed a step from shock and fell from seven feet up. Fortunately, it wasn't too high up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe didn't fall onto the ground. Instead, she fell into someone's arms. It was Wayne who caught her. He looked a little fatigued after staying away for a few days. There was also a hint of anger in his eyes.
"Were you planning to escape again?"
“I was just coming out for sair,” Olivia explained anxiously. Then, she noticed they were surrounded by smen in formal wear.
"Mr. President, you know this suspicious woman?"
The man who spoke up was the one who yelled at her and caused her to fall.
She looked at him and saw that he was a stranger.
Alan said, "Ike, this is the miracle doctor I told you about.”
"Miracle doctor? The situation is very dangerous right now. You shouldn't keep a woman like this by your side, Mr. Maxwell."
lke didn't think Olivia looked like a doctor.
"Everyone, disperse."
Wayne didn't offer an explanation. He just carried Olivia in his arms and went to his resting area.
Olivia tried to break free from his embrace.
Wayne seemed to be in a bad mood. He snapped, "Don't move!"
He exuded a gloomy demeanor. Olivia stopped moving and allowed him to carry her back into his room.
“I have a headache. Work your magic."
Olivia brought her pack of needles over. "I told you that the treatment has to be done daily. Where have you been?"
“I was out on a business trip."
Wayne's head was pounding. He urged her, "Do it now!"
He covered his eyes with his right hand. Olivia immediately noticed a black ring on his hand.
She finally found it!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOlivia was very excited. She couldn't stop her lips from curving into a smile.
Wayne opened his eyes abruptly and saw the smile on her face. "Why are you so happy?"
Olivia quickly changed the subject. "That's not it. I just haven't seen you for days. I'm just happy that you're back.”
Wayne was weirdly pleased by this statement. He had always been shunned by everyone around him since he was a kid. No one ever wanted to see him.
But Olivia said she was happy to see him. He felt his heartbeat quicken.
How could Olivia not be happy to see him? It had been ten days since she got here. She finally saw the ring. She was closer to completing her mission.
In the following days, she only had to think about how she would gain Wayne's trust.
She removed the needles and asked seriously, "Have you been having any episodes in the past few days?"
"No, it's just smild pain. It's much better than before."
"Did you take the meds I prescribed for you?"
"I was too busy."
"This won't do. The acupuncture and the medication have to be done simultaneously. You can't just stop taking the meds.
“You'll be here for now, right? I'll handle the preparation of the meds from now on."
