Chapter 57
Tyler was supposed to attend a morning meeting, but he ended up missing it because he couldn’t bring himself to get out of bed.
At noon, they both sat down to have lunch at the dining table. Knowing that Olivia was in her fourth year of college and would soon graduate, Tyler inquired about her plans for the future.
Olivia, who majored in medicine and frequently spent her time in the lab, replied, “I don’t know yet.”
Sitting across from her, Tyler suggested, “Are you busy today?”
Perplexed by his question, Olivia looked at him for clarification.
“Do you want to visit the Harris Group with me?” Tyler proposed after a brief pause. He added, “My secretary happens to be off today, so you can do a one–day internship.”
Concerned about her lack of experience, Olivia hesitated and worried if she would be a burden to him. “But I have no… experience, and I know nothing. Will I stir up trouble for you?”
In reality, Tyler was worried that she would overthink at home. “Think of it as taking a break. Besides, I’m confident you can handle serving drinks. It’s not a difficult task.‘
Clutching her cutlery, Olivia found the idea doable. Then, she asked, “Tyler, since you want me to work for you, will you pay me?”
This mischievous question caught Tyler’s attention, and he set his soup bowl aside, giving her a serious look as he contemplated her request. “Tell me how you’d like to do it, and I’ll do as you say.”
Blushing slightly, Olivia backtracked, “I was just kidding, I didn’t mean it.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Seeing her embarrassment, Tyler suggested, “Let’s see how well you perform today. If you do a good job, I might consider paying you.”
She smiled when she heard that. “I’ll do my best.”
Tyler continued, “I have high standards for my secretary.”
A hint of annoyance crossed Olivia’s face, finding him somewhat exasperating.
In the afternoon, they ventured out together. Olivia dressed appropriately in
office wear, resembling a secretary, and stood beside Tyler in the elevator. Many
people couldn’t help but glance at her curiously.
Feeling nervous, Olivia moved to stand behind Tyler, who was surrounded by several people. Tyler made no effort to explain her presence or the purpose of her visit to the curious onlookers.
The elevator ride felt like an eternity as they ascended from the first floor to the thirtieth. Finally, when the doors opened, no one dared to move. Tyler exited first, and Olivia hesitated about whether to follow.
Tyler stopped outside the elevator and cast a brief glance at her in the corner. Olivia quickly realized he was waiting for her, prompting her to step out and trail behind him.
Maintaining close proximity, Tyler quietly instructed, “Follow me,” and only she could hear his words.
Nervously, Olivia replied, “Yes, Mr. Tyler,” and followed closely behind him.
Tyler stopped looking at her and went on walking. The rest of the people came out as well, and they followed him, while Olivia walked next to him.
In Tyler’s office, Olivia quickly adapted to the situation and began serving drinks. At this moment, serving drinks was the only task she knew how to handle.
