The night Olive spent this time had no hiccups at all. Everything went smoothly. Although she knew that the man who was never far from her was watching closely. Even though someone engaged her in conversation, and Olive knew that Thomas responded with laughter and interesting conversation, it seemed that his mouth spoke, his brain worked, but his eyes were only focused on Olive.
Unfortunately, Olive felt that she was becoming the center of attention for another reason. It was better for her to finish dinner quickly and return to her room. There, she found Riana and Yossie. Fortunately, they were allowed to be together, so Olive could pour out all her concerns to Riana. As for Yossie? Well... maybe Olive had to learn to trust that this colleague was different from Dela.
Ayana said that Yossie doesn't really care about office gossip. Naturally innocent, Yossie isn't easily influenced, especially since she had her own issues with Dela. That's why Ayana advised Olive to ma
There's nothing more enjoyable than playing with enthusiasm on a spacious field filled with challenges. Teamwork is crucial to tackle every challenge that comes their way. Olive blends in with a team from another branch. She's separated from her own group, but it's no big deal. Olive enjoys this game.During the break they're having, Olive is approached by Yossie and Riana, this time with Darius.They all look tired but wear a cheerful expression that won't fade."Darius was so crazy earlier," says Olive.Darius rolls his eyes. "You're the crazy one! Imagine if you didn't move around so much!""Come on, stop fighting. Besides, it's pointless because my team is winning!" Olive proudly declares."Damn it!" Riana and Darius both mess up Olive's already messy hair. Meanwhile, Yossie just chuckles, watching the three of them being so close."But after this, the most exciting part comes," says Darius after thoroughly messing up Olive's hair
"WOW!" If Yossie's eyes could jump out of their sockets, they would have done so by now. Not a second had passed without her noticing Olive, who had just come out of the bathroom. She was wearing a dark blue midi dress that hugged Olive's body perfectly. It was as if the dress was tailored for Olive, making her look graceful, beautiful, classy, elegant, and sexy all at once.Yes, indeed!The midi dress only reached Olive's thighs. Although it was long and sweeping at the back, it was clear that just from the front view, it would captivate anyone's attention. The dress was also sleeveless, showcasing Olive's collarbones perfectly."You look so gorgeous," Yossie praised, her mouth wide open."You look gorgeous too," Olive replied. She approached Yossie, adjusting the cardigan that covered the front of Yossie to make it less revealing. "I'll get you my collection necklace. It has the same bright blue color. I'll fetch it for you.""Isn't it too much,
Olive found herself in the center of attention now. It wasn't her fault that so many eyes were on her. Besides, why did Marta have to complicate the costume selection? With a feathered hairpin perched high on her head, Olive looked like a medieval noblewoman attending a party. She didn't want to waste money on all the fancy apartments that Marta had offered."What a waste of money," she muttered. Even though the reason Olive gave was that she had the right outfit for tonight's gala theme, she didn't want the hassle of renting an apartment and preferred to stick to her style. After all, the dress she was wearing was far from tacky. In fact, it received many compliments.At Gajah Mada, Sonia rarely chose complicated themes. She always consulted with her subordinates, made fair decisions, and helped prepare everything to make it easier. Different heads, different ideas, indeed."Watch out, Liv!" Yossie shouted in surprise as someone rushed towards them.Oliv
"Are you sure?" Riana asks with a skeptical look. "I don't really care about your outfit, but it would have been more appropriate with that cardigan earlier.""It just disappeared," Olive grumbles, not taking it well. "And I didn't even bring a spare blazer or jacket. I regret this. I usually bring extra clothes.""What are we going to do now?" Yossie looks panicked. "The event is about to start. Well, it's dinner first, though."Riana sighs in frustration, while Olive is bewildered. She can only pace back and forth aimlessly, not sure what to do. "I'll stay in the room. You guys go ahead," Olive says softly, accompanied by a smile.When she's locked in the bathroom, she panics for a moment and screams for help. Stupidly, she forgot to bring her bag with her phone. She quickly contacts Yossie and Riana, who arrive soon after. The bathroom appears to be locked from the outside, as if it was intentional. But who did this to Olive?"Look
The dinner spread in front of her made Olive lose focus. It was so delicious. She wanted to try everything. Basically, Olive and food were the most perfect collaboration. She wouldn't miss a dinner as delicious as this one. Olive wouldn't mind eating fried chicken from a street vendor, let alone in a place like this."Why just stare? Is something missing? Or do you want ice cream?""Later!" Olive interjects quickly. "That's easy.""Well then, what are you waiting for? Why not just eat?"Olive pouts. "Do you really think I'd be so rude as to start eating while you're getting everything for me? And it's served, too. My life is so good."Thomas laughs. Even though Thomas intended to get all kinds of food, regardless of the portion, he didn't care. He was sure Olive could finish it all. She often had no shame when it came to serving size, especially when it matched her taste. Oh, one more thing, if she was hungry, she never chose the food she wanted.
"Just a little. Consider it a palate cleanser."Olive's lips pout even more."I waited in line for you, you know.""Who asked you to?""Eat." This time, Thomas doesn't playfully push Olive. "Or do you want me to feed you?""Are you being silly, sir?" The girl pouts, unwillingly accepting the small plate of salad. Not too much. Everything is just right, but Olive is still somewhat full. The effects of holding back her anger and frustration from someone mischievously locking her in the bathroom. What was the point of that, anyway?Who on earth would do something so foolish?Perhaps because her frustration has built up so much, Olive eats with a pout on her face. She stabs her fork into the salad a bit roughly, creating quite an annoying sound."What's wrong? Is the salad not good?"Olive blinks. "Uh... it's good, actually. Really good. I like the watermelon slices. So refreshing. Didn't you take any?""It's gone," T
Olive had lost count of how many times she had rolled her eyes because of Darius and Riana's singing and humming loudly in the backseat. Oh, not to forget Yossie, whom Olive had tried to seat between her two noisy friends, but she had also joined in the deliberately created excitement.Darius said, "Let's not make it quiet. Besides, Mr. Thomas didn't object, right, sir?"Thomas was asked, and his response was just a smirk. He even agreed and slightly increased the volume of the car's audio. That only fueled Olive's irritation further. Her arms had been crossed over her chest for a while now."Just enjoy the moment, Liv," Thomas said with a chuckle. "They're having fun. They're not uptight and know their place. Besides, this is outside the office, so it's fine if they're relaxed like this.""Annoying, you know that, sir," grumbled Olive."Why don't you just say you want to be alone with me but can't because they're here? Isn't that it?"Olive
"Quoting your speech, you have to do the job responsibly," Thomas says with a grin. "I'm curious about how you take responsibility, Liv.""Mr. Thomas, don't make me more scared, please," Olive complained."That's why I immediately got a license to approach you, Rin."Olive pouted. "That's a different matter.""Huh? In front of others, they consider us a couple. Isn't it true? How long do you want to keep pretending? I can't stand lying all the time. I'll do it just for you."Olive's shoulders drooped even more."Or do you prefer me being close to Marta?""Ih, Mr. Thomas, you have no idea what triggered Olive to come down yesterday," Riana quickly interjected. Olive immediately turned her head and looked at her friend intently. Her heart began to beat irregularly because Riana was more than just a secret revealer, unlike Dela. Riana's role here was not to bring Olive down."What do you mean?""It's because of Dela's Whats
