Chapter 40: You Heartless Little Thing
Chapter 40: You Heartless Little Thing
In the room, Gwenda was startled by the sudden turn of events.
When she returned to her senses and saw who exactly was standing before her, she sighed in relief
and said, "Why did you come here?"
"I should be asking you that."
Olivier had pinned Gwenda to the wall by caging her there with one arm, his sharp eyes gazing intently
at her. "Being chased by a man? What happened?"
"I was trying to catch him in the act of cheating!"
When Gwenda said that, she noticed how Olivier's eyes became sharper than ever and coughed lightly.
"I founded a studio, remember? I ran into a bit of trouble and I'm here to fix it today."
"Oh, so this is how you're fixing it? You've got some nerve."
Olivier raised his eyebrows at her.
"I didn't have any other choice. The studio just got going and since I'm the boss, I can only do it in
person."
Gwenda laughed awkwardly and looked up at him. "What are you doing here, though?"
"Social engagements." This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
"And then you met me?"
"Yep."
Olivier confirmed with raised eyebrows.
"Well... I'm fine now. I'll— I'll be leaving. You can do your own stuff."
With that, Gwenda ducked under his arm and tried to slip away.
But in the next second, she was caged in Olivier's arms, causing her to hold her breath.
...
Olivier's eyes flickered with some untold emotion as he leaned closer to Gwenda. His handsome face
came close to hers as he said, "So, you're just going to leave like that after I helped you?"
His cool aura washed over her along with a great sense of pressure.
Gwenda panicked a little. "Or... or what?"
"You heartless little thing."
Olivier stroked her nose and noticed that she was trembling. He smiled and said, "Am I that scary?"
"No..."
Gwenda coughed lightly and forced herself to calm down. "I'm just a little cold. Yeah, it's a bit too cold."
Olivier chuckled and let go of her without exposing her.
"He should be gone. I'll get someone to send you down."
Gwenda did not expect him to be so accommodating this time. Stunned for a second, she waved her
hands quickly, saying, "Oh, no, no, that's okay. I can go by myself. I can leave on my own..."
As she said so, she slowly backed away. When she saw that Olivier had no intentions to stop her, she
ran out of the room immediately, closing the door with a bang.
"Such an ungrateful brat."
Olivier said with a chuckle as he shook his head, gazing at the closed door.
Did she really think that she could escape on her own? Having brought up a couple people to catch Ian
Russell in a scandal, how could he let her go so easily now?
He smiled in resignation as he took out his phone to send a message.
After all, his cute little pet had lashed out at someone. How could he, as the person in charge,
disregard this matter?
......
"Gwenda, where have you been? I thought you were caught!"
The moment Gwenda got into the lift, she got a call from Hattie, who sounded terribly worried.
"Nah, I met a friend and got delayed. Where are you guys? I'll find you."
"Are you still in the hotel? Don't come down! We've made it out but Ian called in a lot of people. Seems
like he's still looking for you."
Hearing that, Gwenda frowned and quickly stopped the lift by pressing on a button.
After a moment's hesitation, she said, "In that case, you two head back first. I'll send you the video I
took on my phone. Ask Laurinda to start writing her draft, alright? Then, send it out as quickly as
possible."
"Okay."
Gwenda then hung up. Before she could think of anything else, she heard a commotion coming from
the corner of the corridor outside.
