Chapter 178 Trying to be the person she likes

The picture was taken in the pharmacy. Olive had reached out and tugged at Marvin’s clothes. The reposts and comments which flowed in had reached a peak of traffic.

“Olive is so awesome!”

“Academician Marvin and Olive had joined forces together for that shocking surgery two years ago. It was all fate.”

“Although Olive is already married, I just can’t help but think that this two are perfect match!”

Elvis placed his phone on the table. His handsome face was emotionless, but everyone could feel that the CEO was unhappy.

Everyone in the room were so frightened that they didn’t dare to breath loudly, for the feared that they would draw the CEO’s anger on themselves.

The meeting finally ended. Everyone secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Throughout the meeting, the CEO did nothing other than tap his fingers on the table and unbuttoned his shirt.

The meeting had gone quite smoothly, and it was now time for the close of work.

Elvis stood up and said indifferently.

“Have a rest y’all. Come to my room in ten for a financial meeting.”

“Okay, sir.” The workers chorused respectfully.

After that, Elvis walked on steady steps and left the meeting room.

Once the executives were certain that Elvis was out of sight, they let out a murmur.

They knew that, that was bound to be how the day would end. Whenever the CEO was in a bad mood, he would turn himself into a workaholic, thereby making them work overtime. “Secretary Andrew, what’s the matter with the president? Why is he in a very bad mood?” “Secretary Andrew, who offended the CEO?”

The executives grabbed Elvis’s private secretary and asked loudly.

Andrew shook his head and said professionally,

“This is the CEO’s personal issue. I really can’t say. Everyone, prepare for the meeting in ten. If anything goes wrong during the meeting, we all should prepare to stay here overnight.”

Andrew’s subtext was that the CEO’s issue wasn’t anyone’s buisness. But if the CEO wasn’t impressed later at the meeting, it’ll be everyone’s business, because, everyone would have to stay overnight untill the CEO was impressed with the outcome of the meeting.

In the CEO’s office, Andrew walked in with a cup of coffee and said respectfully,

“CEO, your coffee is here.”

Elvis was standing beside the window. The neon light reflected on his handsome face, making him more handsome.

Elvis dipped his left hand into his pocket and held his phone with his right hand. His handsome eyelids dropped down, and he focused on the phone.

Else curved his thin lips into a shallow arc, and finally said in a low voice,

“She has always made me believe in her. I’m busy at the moment, so I believe that she’s fine.

The financial meeting was held in the CEO’s office. Elvis had taken his sit on the main seat after finishing two sticks of cigarettes.

The financial director handed over the report to him. Elvis knocked the files away sharply.

“Is this what you made?”

The chief financial officer looked aggrieved. He was only given ten minutes, it was not easy for him to sort out the files within such time frame.

Elvis raised his hand and threw the report into the air, causing the paper to fly.

Immediately Elvis was done speaking, the office fell into a suppressed state.

The door knob clicked, and the door opened. A slender white hand reached out and pushed the door. Then, a palm–sized face quietly came into view, with a pair of clear and dark eyes poring into the office.

The executives diverted their gaze to the figure. They wondered who it was, and why she would dare to appear in the CEO’s private lounge.

Hearing the cracking sound from the door, Elvis turned his head and immediately met Olive’s piercing, yet tentative, watery eyes.
