That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

Olivia furrowed her brows helplessly, unsure how to explain. She simply said, “I just happened to run into him downstairs.”

Harold, however, looked skeptical.

At this, Olivia’s expression softened, and she pleaded, “Anyway, it’s not what you think. There’s no possibility between him and me anymore.”

She didn’t want anyone to misunderstand her relationship with Victor.

Seeing her demeanor, Harold smiled warmly and didn’t press further. He only said, “Mr. Lee is resting upstairs, and Mr. Shelby is with him. They are waiting for you. Do you want to go find them?”

Olivia had been searching for them for a while without success. Hearing Harold’s words, she felt relieved and nodded, “Where are they? Could you please take me there? I have matters to discuss with Mr. Shelby and need to apologize to Mr. Lee.”

Harold readily agreed and led her out of the banquet hall and upstairs.

Meanwhile, Victor watched their backs with a blank expression, anger boiling inside him.

Did Olivia change her attitude towards him just to meet that Ramos?

What were they planning to do upstairs now?

“Mr. Leer…” a cautious voice from his business partner interrupted his thoughts.

Victor turned back, his face clouded.

The person opposite him trembled slightly but still mustered the courage to hand over the contract.

Victor glanced at it and signed his name, growing more irritated as he thought about Olivia.

The person opposite wanted to say more but saw Victor turn coldly and stride out of the banquet.

…

Olivia followed Harold into the room.

Inside, Mr. Lee sat at the head seat, with Mr. Shelby and several other distinguished-looking men around him, chatting amiably.

As they entered, the conversation halted. Mr. Shelby stood up and introduced Olivia, “This is Dr. Prescott, recommended by Mr. Whitaker.”

He then introduced the others to Olivia, “These are the heads of the companies we are collaborating with.”

Olivia guessed their identities and greeted them politely, apologizing, “Sorry to keep you all waiting.”Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Mr. Lee waved it off nonchalantly, “We were just sitting here waiting. It’s nothing. You must have been in a rush to get here. I told them not to call you, but they insisted.”

With Mr. Lee’s words, everyone expressed they didn’t mind.

Mr. Shelby, who seemed to have a good relationship with Mr. Lee, laughed and said, “I just wanted to inform Dr. Prescott that you were here. I didn’t mean to rush her!”

Mr. Lee smiled but said nothing.

Olivia also smiled and found a seat with Harold.

During the meeting, Mr. Shelby brought up their collaboration.

Olivia briefly explained the cooperation plan she had discussed with Gabriel.

Mr. Shelby agreed without hesitation and waited for the other companies to respond.

The others seemed hesitant.

Olivia felt a pang of anxiety.

Just as she was feeling tense, Mr. Lee’s calm voice broke the silence.

“I’ve heard about your research institute and always wanted to help, but unfortunately, I’m willing but unable.”

Mr. Lee looked at Olivia apologetically, “Though I have some influence, I’m ultimately just an academic. I don’t have much sway in the business world. Even if I wanted to speak up for you, not many would listen.”

As his words fell, the expressions in the room changed noticeably.
