Chapter 16 Recalling Her Again
Victor furrowed his brow, a hint of annoyance flickering in his eyes.
Did he misjudge again?
Once or twice could be forgiven, but seeing that figure for two consecutive days in different places left him perplexed.
However, that figure merely flashed before his eyes and left no trace behind.
Victor couldn’t help but sneer inwardly and avert his gaze.
He must be going crazy to keep recalling that woman.
“Sir, the client has been waiting for a long time. Will we go in?”
Nathan waited for a while, but seeing his master not moving, he cautiously asked.
Victor lowered his gaze, composed himself, and responded calmly, “Let’s go.”
After speaking, he strode forward with long steps, and Nathan hurriedly followed.
…
When Olivia and Gabriel arrived at the private room, the staff of the research institute had already gathered.
Gabriel motioned for her to sit in the main seat and took a seat beside her. He introduced to everyone, “Many of you have seen Dr. Prescott during the day, but now it’s time to formally introduce her.”
The crowd turned their gaze towards Olivia, and she nodded calmly, considering it a greeting.
“This is Dr. Olivia Prescott. You may not be familiar with this name, but abroad, she is well-known as Benjamin’s esteemed student, Janet.”
Upon hearing this name, the crowd was momentarily stunned, but soon admiration filled their eyes.
Janet, a name that all medical professionals had heard of. It was said that she was famous abroad.
After all, being so young and accomplished in medicine, she was rumored to possess eighty percent of Professor Benjamin’s abilities. She was truly an exemplary figure among the younger generation!
They had always imagined Janet as having short hair, wearing glasses, with a solemn demeanor, exuding an intellectual aura.
They never expected the actual person to be so stunningly beautiful!
Once they realized, admirers immediately stepped forward.
“Is it really Janet? I admire you so much! I’ve read every article you published abroad, and I really like you!”
“It’s our honor to work with Janet!”
“…”
Everyone praised her with sincerity written on their faces.
After exchanging glances with everyone, Olivia’s lips curled up slightly, “Thank you for your compliments. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future.”
Finishing her words, she raised her glass first.
The crowd followed suit, raising their glasses and toasting.
Olivia was friendly and approachable, without any airs, earning even more respect from the staff. The dinner proceeded joyfully.
Many people came to toast, and Olivia accepted each one gracefully.
She had a good tolerance for alcohol, but with so many people and the passage of time, she unknowingly started feeling a bit tipsy.
As the dinner was nearing its end, Olivia excused herself to go to the restroom, wanting to freshen up.
On her way back to the private room, her phone suddenly vibrated.
Olivia glanced at it and saw messages from her two little darlings at home, asking when she would return.
Upon seeing the messages, a warm smile appeared in Olivia’s eyes, and she was about to stop and reply to them when suddenly her shoulder was forcefully bumped, almost causing her phone to fly out of her hand.
Olivia tightened her grip on the phone and immediately apologized to the person, “I’m sorry…”
Before she could finish her apology, a man, filled with anger, interrupted her, “Can’t you watch where you’re going? Dammit, such bad luck!”
As he spoke, a strong smell of alcohol wafted towards Olivia.
Her brow furrowed slightly, and she discreetly distanced herself from him.
The drunk man finally noticed her face, his voice abruptly trailing off. He was so stunned that he forgot to close his mouth, his eyes fixed on her intently.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
