I’m Someone Else

Chapter 360

After spending these past two days with them, Chloe was certain Olivia liked Thomas, and it seemed he also treated her differently. She had witnessed how he treated Molly before, and compared to her, he was exceptionally good to Olivia. It went beyond the level of friendship.

“Huh? What do you mean?” He was puzzled by her question.

“I mean… Do you like her?” she asked anxiously while silently praying, Thomas, please don’t fall in love with Olivia. What should I do if you like her?”

“No, I don’t,” he replied instinctively, turning his head away. He dared not look into Chloe’s eyes, fearing to expose his lie.

“Really?” Her tone raised slightly, with a mix of delight and doubt.

She did not quite believe what he said. Olivia was a beauty, and her personality was top-tier. Even she, as someone of the same gender, had a favorable impression of her. How could Thomas not like her as a man? It seemed unlikely! Moreover, why were they holding each other’s arms if he did not like her? Was that not something only couples do?

“Uhm…” He was speechless. How should I answer this?

Over the past few days, he had gotten used to having Olivia by his side. No matter how hard or frustrated he felt, he would feel much better seeing her radiant smile. It was as if all his hardships became worthwhile because of her smile.

He would be content when she was happy, and he would be down when she was sad. Only he knew in his heart that he was genuinely falling for Olivia.

Seeing the change in his expression, Chloe already had an answer in her heart. Why does his face turn red if he doesn’t like her? How can there be such a strong reaction?

With these thoughts, an unmistakable sense of disappointment appeared on her face. She insincerely suggested, “Thomas, I heard from Olivia that you two are just friends. That won’t do. If you like her, you should bravely pursue her! She’s such an outstanding girl. You can’t let someone else take her away.”

At that, he lowered his head and remained silent.

Now that the matter of sacrifice had been resolved and the six old demons were annihilated, Olivia was no longer in danger. There were also no more immediate troubles on her end. Perhaps, as Chloe suggested, he should pursue Olivia and start a new relationship.

His silence was equivalent to acceptance, which both he and Chloe understood. The living room atmosphere became somewhat awkward. She pouted and stared at the television, lost in thought, not saying a word, but even a fool could tell she was unhappy.

Thomas naturally noticed it as well. He was puzzled as to why his sister’s mood suddenly became so low. Were they not just engaged in lively gossip moments ago? He pondered for a while and assumed presumptuously that Chloe was sad over Molly. After all, she had tried to matchmake him with her more than once.

In reality, how could Chloe be sad over Molly? She was down about her situation, let alone having the time to stand up for Molly.

Ring! Ring!

An urgent ringtone broke the somewhat eerie silence in the room. Thomas quickly took out his phone and glanced at it. It was a call from Emily, the young miss of the Travis Family.

“Hey, handsome. What are you doing now? Do you have time?” Her slightly playful voice came through the phone. However, her voice sounded hoarse as if she had not rested well.

He looked up at the clock in the living room, which told him it was already over 8.00PM. “Now?”

“Yes! If you have time, let’s meet up.”

Emily had not rested well. After leaving, her grandfather demanded her return. She headed to Capitalis, picked up some information that Kyrie had given her, and hastily rushed back. She only wanted to meet Thomas now because she had something to discuss with him.

“Alright. Where are you?”

If it were an invitation from someone else, he would have refused without hesitation. However, since Emily wanted to meet him, he could not decline. After all, he owed a big favor to the Travis Family.

Receiving his response, Emily was somewhat surprised. Someone like him would typically be busy, and if one wanted to meet him, they would need to make an appointment in advance. She did not expect him to agree so readily.

As such, she gave him a location and then hung up the phone.

Thomas stood up and informed Olivia, who was busy in the kitchen. “You can cut down on the amount. I have an appointment to attend, so I won’t have dinner at home.”

“What?” Olivia felt frustrated and quickly stopped her work, walking out of the kitchen. She had almost finished her preparations, but Thomas was leaving. It’s so late, so where is he going? Don’t tell me he’s going on a date with another girl!

Similarly, he also informed Chloe, but she did not show much reaction. Only Olivia followed him closely, personally escorting him to the villa’s front gate. He looked at Olivia, who seemed reluctant to part with him, and could tell she was overthinking even if he was slow to catch on. “Don’t worry. I’m just meeting a friend. I’ll be back soon,” he explained quickly.

Hearing that, the gloom on her face vanished. Soon, she smiled and replied, “Drive safely and take your time.”

It was fine as long as Thomas was not going on a date. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Chloe, sitting on the couch, witnessed the scene and frowned as she knew Thomas’ personality well. He did not like explaining himself but voluntarily informed Olivia about his whereabouts. That was enough to show that she held an important place in his heart.

It seemed that they truly had the potential to become a couple.

“Alas!” Chloe let out a long sigh, losing her appetite for dinner.

Following the address provided by Emily, Thomas arrived at a private room in a restaurant. There was also a middle-aged man of about forty in addition to her in the private room. Thomas nodded slightly at him, considering it a greeting.
