Chapter 386
Olivia waited anxiously as she was worried by the time that North was able to execute the mission, Eugene would
already be awake.
It was a lucky thing that North was a reliable person because not too long after that, a light push was heard at the
door.
He entered with a pair of suits.
Olivia gestured an OK with her hand before signaling for him to return to his room.
At that very moment, Eugene’s cell phone rang.
A startled Olivia almost tried to cover his ears with her hands. Who could have called at this hour?
As she turned her head, she found herself staring into his gaze. Oh no! He’s awake now.
Her brain went blank as her eyes darted everywhere.
With the fear that he would see North, she immediately turned his head without even thinking about it. Before
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEugene knew what was going on, she planted her lips on his.
He was stunned, but only for a short while. As they locked lips, his gaze grew more intense.
Olivia met his gaze and let out a light cough. “Why are you still asleep?”
Eugene was very much awake by that point. He could care less about what she wanted to do and immediately
threw an arm around her waist before using another hand to hold the back of her head and gave her another
passionate kiss.
Olivia thought, Must it be this difficult to throw him a surprise?
She felt like she was playing a seductress in a spy movie.
After spending some time cuddling her on the couch, Eugene finally released her from his embrace and asked
affectionately, “What took you so long? I fell asleep while waiting for you.”
She giggled. “How is that so? It is not even that late and you’re already asleep. What were you up to last night?”
He laughed. “You sound like you don’t trust me. How about I spend the night here and you’ll be able to discover
what I’m up to on a nightly basis?”
Olivia shot him a stare. “What you want to do is your own business. Who wants to know about it?”
Eugene pinched her cheeks. “That’s what you said, but do you really think like that?”
He then realized something and looked around. “Hasn’t Brian arrived yet?”
Olivia seemed to notice that as well. Eugene is right. Brian should have been here by now. Where is he?
“Check your cell phone. I think someone sent you a text earlier.”
Eugene took out his cell phone and glanced at the screen—it was not a message from Brian, but rather, Alex,
asking him out for a drink.
Eugene ignored Alex’s text and gave Brian a call instead.
It took a while for the call to connect and the first thing that Eugene heard was the roar of Brian’s car engine in the
background.
“Where are you?” he asked.
“I’m arriving soon,” Brian merely replied before he hung up.
Olivia noticed the frown on Eugene’s face and asked, “What happened?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“It’s nothing. He said he’s arriving soon,” Eugene replied.
They both decided to forget what happened earlier. At that moment, North emerged after hiding Eugene’s pair of
suits and greeted, “Uncle Eugene, you’re awake.”
“Yes, I am. Are you hungry?” Eugene replied with a question.”
Feeling relieved that Eugene did not suspect anything, North replied, “No, I’m good.”
Eugene responded, “In that case, let’s wait for a bit. Your Uncle Brian is arriving soon.”
North answered, “Okay.”
As they chatted with each other, Eugene’s cell phone rang again. He picked it and noticed that it was Alex, who
called since he did not receive any reply to his text.
He slid his finger across the screen and answered the call.
“What are you doing?” Alex whined. “You did not even reply to me.”
“I’m at my girlfriend’s place.”
Eugene took a seat on his couch and leaned against the backrest with his legs crossed.
Alex scoffed over the phone, teasing, “Oh, come on. Why don’t you join me for a drink?”
Eugene frowned and replied lazily, “Didn’t you hear me? I’m at my girlfriend’s place!”
Alex poked fun. “Look at you now. Whatever happened to bros before hoes?”
