Chapter 191
Chapter 191 Elvis galloped away.
Elvis felt extremely proud. His Olive was amazing!
Elvis grabbed his phone from pocket and dailed Olive’s number. While the call was yet to be connected. Elvis looked sideways through the bright glass window, he sighted a large number of people walking out of the Ivory Council.
Dean Sebastian and Marvin were walking together. The said nothing to each other, as they didn’t know what to discuss, being that they were both national academicians and had unparalleled medical talents.
Everyone was chitchatting happily. Director Hudson who was always strict, could only lay down his armour of discipline, and join the students to chitchat and laugh.
Elvis watched quietly from the car. The students of the Ivory Council were really happy and in high spirit.
Olive was being supported by Divine. Infact, Olive didn’t want to attend the dinner party.
“Divine, you can go ahead for the dinner. I’ll be heading home, I’m certain that my husband will be here to pick me up soon.”
“No!” Divine pulled Olive’s hand tightly.” Olive, it’s your night, everyone is happy because of you. Why do you wanna leave?”
“It’s…” Olive made to say something, but the phone in her bag rang. She quickly took out her phone and it was Elvis calling.
Olive swiped the screen and the call connected.
“Hello, Mr. Augustine.” Olive muttered with a smile.
Elvis focused his gaze at Olive through the glass window. He congratulated in a low voice,
“Mrs. Augustine, congratulations.”
Olive held tighter to the phone and replied with a shy smile,
“Thank you.”
“Mr. Augustine, where are you now?” She inquired.
Before Olive could say another word, Divine quickly said loudly.
“Mr. Augustine, the dean has invited us all to a dinner party. Can you please allow Olive to come along? She’ll be back tomorrow morning.”
“Divine!” Olive hastily covered Divine’s mouth with her right hand.
Divine was so frightened that she ran behind dean Sebastian and hid. She stuck out her face from dean Sebastian’s back and winked playfully at Olive.
Olive chased after her, but Marvin’s tall figure suddenly appeared before her, blocking her path. Olive stumbled, and bumped into his embrace.
Olive’s eyes turned red. Marvin’s hand landed on her forehead, as he rubbed it gently.
“I’m sorry, are you alright? Does it hurt?”
Elvis who was in the car watched the scene calmly. His sharp–boned finger quickly curled up, clenching the phone in his hand. Elvis’s thin lips pursed into a cold and unhappy arc.
His narrow eagle–like eyes landed on Marvin’s hand.
Olive quickly took two steps backwards and avoided Marvin’s hand. She rubbed her reddened. forehead and muttered,
“It’s fine, it doesn’t hurt.”
Marvin retracted his hand and lowered his eyes on her.
“Sorry, okay?”
