Chapter 340 Did You Just Get Dumped?
Daniel was left speechless by her words, a breath catching in his chest, nearly choking him.
He felt even more annoyed.
It was precisely because he hadn't said anything back then that things had turned out this way.
If he had known it would come to this, he should have demanded repayment for his help from the start, even if it meant being a bit underhanded!
Olivia watched his mood swing back and forth, feeling even more confused.
At the same time, she was quite curious.
She had known Daniel for so many years, and while his temper could be unpredictable at times, she had never seen him lose control of his emotions like this.
Olivia couldn't help herself and asked nosily, "Did you just get dumped?"
To her surprise, as soon as she said this, Daniel's expression changed. He looked at her with disbelief, "You can tell?"
Olivia's expression showed shock too, "You really went through a breakup?"
Then, feeling something was off, she looked at Daniel in amazement, "Wait, you have someone you like? Who is it? How come I didn't know?"
Daniel nearly passed out from frustration.
And here he thought she had finally caught on.
Turns out, he was just overthinking it.
"You..." He was too choked up to speak.
Eric, who was driving in the front seat, had also heard their conversation. His heart and mind were filled with sympathy for Daniel.
When it was time to confess, he didn't confess properly. When talking to her, he didn't speak properly either.
When he should have seized the opportunity, he insisted on taking it slow.
By the time he finally got anxious, she had already been swept away by someone else.
Now he finally knew to chase after her, but even his hints were so unclear.
No wonder he couldn't win her over!
Daniel had no idea his assistant was mentally roasting him.
He was still fuming, and the oblivious Olivia kept asking curiously, "So who is it exactly? Could it be Ms. Miller?"
At this point, Olivia frowned and said, "Logically speaking, if you liked Ms. Miller, I should have noticed."
After all, she and Beatrix had a pretty good relationship.
Plus, Beatrix herself was excellent, and standing next to Daniel, they would make a perfect match.
Before Olivia could continue guessing, Daniel said through gritted teeth, "Just shut up! Ask one more question and I'll throw you out of the car!"
Olivia was unhappy too, "Fine, don't tell me then. Why so mean? Stingy! No wonder you can't get the girl!"
Just as she finished scolding him, the car happened to stop at their destination, and Olivia stopped asking questions and quickly got out.
As they arrived, the other team members' cars also pulled up one after another.
When they saw the luxurious skyscraper before them, even these worldly people were surprised.
"I didn't expect Ms. Smith to book this place."
"I know this place. This is the famous Liberty Hall in Harmony City! I heard you have to book months in advance to eat here, and they only serve a few tables a day."
"That's not all. I heard that even a simple meal here starts at tens of thousands of dollars."
Those who weren't as familiar with Liberty Hall, after hearing their colleagues talk about it, looked at Olivia with even more respect.
"Ms. Smith, this is too generous of you."
"Yeah, we could have just booked an ordinary restaurant."
Because of Liberty Hall, everyone realized that Olivia valued them more than they had imagined.
Otherwise, who would specially book such a restaurant for their employees' welcome dinner?
Olivia didn't know much about restaurants, especially those in Harmony City.
She had no idea Liberty Hall was this special.
Originally, Andrew had said he would help arrange it, so she had left it to him with peace of mind.
She hadn't expected him to arrange something this nice.
The reaction of these people before her was obvious.
Olivia pressed her lips together, feeling a warm current surge through her heart, filled with endless sweetness.
This was Andrew.
Always like this, always arranging the best of everything for her.
She smiled warmly and naturally, saying to everyone, "It's nothing. You all came all this way to work here, this is the least I can do. Don't be shy or reserved today, eat as much as you want. Having a good time is what matters most. Let's go."
With that, Olivia took the lead, bringing everyone into the restaurant.
Daniel followed behind, his thin lips pressed into a line, his expression somewhat cold.
His deep eyes concealed emotions that were hard to read.
After entering, the group took the elevator directly to the floor where the restaurant was located.
After Olivia gave the reservation information, they were led by a server into the best private room.
During the meal, everyone chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was quite lively.
Her colleagues also cared about her situation at the research institute.
When interacting with her colleagues, Olivia was selective in answering many questions.
After all, it concerned the research institute, and many things couldn't be disclosed.
However, it was clear that everyone envied her for being able to join the research institute.
At the same time, they praised her, "Ms. Smith, only someone as excellent as you could be selected for the research institute."
"Exactly, and to pass the assessment right away and become a team leader proves that her abilities stand out among all those elites!"
"Right, she's among the very best!"
Daniel didn't join their conversation, his facial lines tense the whole time.
Clearly, he was still emotional.
Olivia noticed and assumed he was still dwelling on his breakup setback.
She couldn't help but click her tongue and raised her glass to him, "Daniel, stop moping. Come on, I'll toast you. Whatever's bothering you, just let it go, okay? Otherwise, looking at your expression while eating, everyone's going to get indigestion."
Daniel couldn't help but laugh despite his anger.
This woman was still as incapable of saying nice things as ever.
However, Daniel actually realized he had been a bit unreasonable earlier.
Hadn't Olivia always been this oblivious?
Otherwise, why would he have waited so many years?
Getting angry at someone like this made him look like a fool.
Daniel didn't want to be that fool anymore, and didn't want to stay angry either.
He picked up his glass and clinked it with hers, giving her face.
The atmosphere between them finally returned to normal.
The meal lasted nearly two hours.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Daniel went out to take a client's phone call.
Olivia was thinking about wrapping up and going home to rest.
But unexpectedly, not long after Daniel left, he suddenly called her.
She was about to say he had nothing better to do.
He was clearly just outside, yet he was calling.
But Olivia still answered.
Then she heard Daniel's tense and hurried tone, "Olivia, get up to VIP Room 1 right now, and bring your medical tools!"
Olivia rarely heard him speak in such a serious tone and was startled.
She immediately realized something must have happened.
