Chapter 106 Becoming the Scenery in Andrew's Eyes
"What?" Andrew raised his eyebrows, clearly surprised too.
After closing the bottle cap, he reached out and took the iPad from his hand.
The news reported today's product showcase, and Olivia did appear in the footage.
However, there was no frontal shot of her, only a side profile and her delicate features - probably because she didn't want to be too high-profile.
But even so, he could still see how stunning that face was.
Beautiful lines and contours, absolutely flawless, her made-up eyes were sparkling, her nose was perfectly shaped, and her striking red lips, paired with a sharp business suit, made her look both intelligent and charming.
In the comments below, netizens were discussing heatedly.
[Three seconds, I need this beauty's information.]
[She looks somewhat familiar? If I'm not mistaken, probably, maybe, most likely it's Mrs. Johnson?]
[It's her! Look at this absolutely perfect face from every angle, and that amazing figure! Even as a girl, I'm totally into her!]
[Beautiful and talented, no wonder even Mr. Wilson became just a sidekick...]
[So, can someone tell me, with such an excellent wife, why doesn't Mr. Johnson cherish her? Why would he cheat instead?]
Andrew glanced through the comments casually, and when he got to the last one, he completely agreed.
Whether it was her medical skills, pharmaceutical research abilities, or this system, everything proved Olivia's extraordinary commercial value.
That Michael guy was supposedly very sharp in business, so how could he be so blind when it came to choosing women?
Andrew closed the comments and looked at the person in the photo a few more times.
Just then, his phone on the desk rang.
He picked it up casually.
It was a call from Benjamin.
Benjamin got straight to the point, "Are you free right now?"
Andrew replied in a flat tone, "What is it? Tell me."
Benjamin laughed, "I don't really have anything; it's Bianca who wants to talk to you."
"What?" Andrew was somewhat surprised.
Bianca would actually reach out to him on her own?
Benjamin quickly passed the phone to Bianca.
After Bianca took it, she called out in a sweet childlike voice, "Uncle Andrew."
Andrew's expression softened, his voice unconsciously becoming much gentler as he responded, "Bianca, what do you need?"
Bianca expressed her intention very smoothly, "This weekend, I want to paint with you. The teacher said, there's a competition, to win prizes, I want to make my mommy happy."
Andrew smiled.
So that was what it was!
It was rare for Bianca to be so proactive, so naturally, he wouldn't refuse.
Andrew nodded and said, "This weekend? Sure, I'm free."
Bianca was immediately very happy, "That's great!"
Andrew's lips curved up too, "The square where we fed the pigeons last time, is that okay?"
Bianca replied sweetly, "Okay."
After Andrew and Bianca made their plans, they hung up shortly after.
That evening, after Olivia finished with the showcase, she came to pick up Bianca from school.
As soon as Bianca saw her, she ran out joyfully, the smile and anticipation on her face impossible to hide.
Olivia found this quite novel.
This was the first time she'd seen such an expression on Bianca's face!
"What good thing happened, baby? You're so happy?"
Bianca grabbed her finger and said, "Made plans with Uncle Andrew to paint together."
Olivia was puzzled, "Mr. Hamilton? When?"
"This weekend."
Benjamin explained from the side, "Today, Bianca reached out to Andrew on her own initiative. Bianca is now starting to show active awareness, which is a very good sign! It means her autism recovery is going really well!"
Olivia was both surprised and happy.
Nothing made her happier than Bianca getting better!
However, she was a bit worried, "Mr. Hamilton is so busy, would we be bothering him?"
Benjamin shook his head, "No, he already agreed. They're meeting this weekend at some square where they feed pigeons, he said it's where they met before. Dr. Garcia, you should know the place?"
Olivia understood.
She did know it!
Since Andrew had already agreed, there was no need to worry anymore.
Soon, Olivia said goodbye to Benjamin and took Bianca home.
Over the next few days, the company became increasingly busy.
After the product showcase, Nexora Tech became the hottest new star in the industry.
Countless partnership opportunities came flooding in.
As the main creator of the system, Olivia and her team needed even more coordination. It wasn't until Saturday that she could finally catch her breath.
Early on the weekend morning, she took Bianca to meet Andrew as planned.
When Olivia arrived with Bianca, Andrew was already waiting inside the café.
He was wearing a clean white sweater and casual pants today, with his jacket draped over the chair back beside him. Morning light streamed through the glass window, casting a warm glow on him.
The cool aura that usually covered him suddenly weakened, replaced by an indescribable warmth and elegance.
He was holding a cup of coffee.
Light steam rose up in wisps, making Andrew's handsome face look even more attractive.
Olivia stared for a moment, until David noticed them and called out first, "Dr. Garcia, Bianca."
Andrew looked up, and she snapped back to reality, saying, "Morning, Mr. Hamilton, David!"
"Morning." Andrew replied, then set his coffee on the table.
Olivia stared at those slender, well-defined hands for a few seconds, then said, "The burn from last time, looks like it didn't leave a scar."
Andrew paused, his lips curving up, "That was over twenty days ago, you still remember?"
Olivia nodded, "Of course I remember. After all, you got hurt protecting me."
She always remembered clearly when others were good to her!
Andrew raised the back of his hand to show her, "With the medicine you gave me, it's completely healed. You can't see any trace at all, don't worry about it."
Olivia nodded.
While they were talking, David came over to help with their things.
These included Bianca's easel and paper, and brushes.
Andrew always valued efficiency, so after just a few words, he started preparing painting materials with Bianca.
Olivia couldn't help with this, so she felt rather idle and could only sit nearby and watch.
Andrew was quite thoughtful though, having someone bring her coffee and small pastries.
However, when the actual painting started, Olivia still felt too bored. She first listlessly looked through some magazines nearby, then finding them uninteresting too, she simply asked the staff for some bread crumbs and went outside to feed the pigeons.
She left the space entirely to Andrew and Bianca.
At this moment, Bianca had just finished painting the sunrise and was preparing to paint the buildings in the square outside.
Andrew was about to give guidance when his gaze was suddenly drawn to that graceful figure outside.
In the large square, there were office workers hurrying past, people out for early morning exercise, and dog walkers.
But none of these scenes could compare to what he was seeing.
By the fountain, in the morning light, that graceful figure stood tall, the hem of her dress gently lifted by the wind, a white pigeon perched on her arm, pecking at the bread crumbs in her palm.
Perhaps because of the small creature's affection, Olivia was smiling especially happily.
The sunlight seemed to pale in comparison at this moment.
Andrew's eyes deepened, and he turned to ask Bianca, "Today, let's not paint buildings. Let's paint a person. How about painting what your mommy looks like?"
