Chapter 1378


    "Of course not!" Vera eximed. Then she understood where Quill was going with it and said hurriedly, "Okay, I won''t ask anymore, so don''t ask me anymore either."


    "What?" Quill raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her through the rearview mirror with amusement, "Can''t take it anymore?"


    "Yes, I surrender!" Vera raised her hands and said, "Just keep your eyes on the road."


    In fact, Vera was rather pleased. At least after she drove Yulia out of the car, Quill did not ask about it nor felt sorry for Yulia.


    He didn''t even invite Yulia back to his car either. He really didn''t take pity toward her.


    Poor Yulia. Did she go too far this time?


    Forget it. She should have taken a cab instead of asking Quill for a ride and even said things to upset her.


    She deserved it!


    Olivia had been troubledtely.


    Since her Uncle Pord met Sam at her grandmother''s birthday banquet, he kept looking for opportunities to talk to Sam about a partnership. However, he didn''t know Sam personally, but Olivia did.


    Yet, Pord didn''t dare to go to Olivia directly. Hence, he went to Olivia''s parents.


    He brought many gifts and said many kind words before exining his reason for visiting.


    Olivia wasn''t extremely close with her Uncle Pord and Auntie Fiona.


    However, she had a good rtionship with their son, Eason.


    When Pord first established hispany, Fiona had to help out as well. It wasn''t until they were more well off and had more free time that they''d visit Olivia''s parents.


    Eason also took care of Olivia well back in school.


    So when Brenda told her the request of Pord, Olivia was in a dilemma.


    However, she thought about her rtionship with Sam. It wouldn''t have been a big deal if they were a real couple, but they weren''t.


    They had a pact when he agreed to be her pretend boyfriend. But none of it had to do with his work.


    It was a headache to deal with that.


    "Mom, I also want to help Uncle Pord, but Sam and I aren''t married yet. Wouldn''t it be bad if I interfere with his work now? Uncle has a knack for business, but thepany Sam works for isn''t just anypany. If something goes wrong, we wouldn''t be able to afford to pay for the mistakes made."


    "What are you talking about?" Brenda scolded her, "Who do you think Pord is? He just wants you to help introduce him to Sam. Who said anything about interfering with his work? To be honest, I didn''t want to say yes in the beginning, but your aunt came over every day with so many gifts. I don''t know how to refuse anymore. Besides, they treat us quite well and have never made any requests before this, so how can I say no?"


    This was true. Even Olivia wouldn''t know how to refuse.


    But if she didn''t, she''d be the one in a difficult position.


    "I don''t know how to bring it up to Sam either. If anything, you tell Sam. I won''t."


    "You brat, he''s your boyfriend, not mine. How can I bring it up?"


    "I am not going to do it."


    "Why not? You lied to me, didn''t you? You two aren''t a couple, are you? I knew it. I was wondering how you could meet someone so capable when you stay cooped up in your house writing stories."


    "Mom! Am I your daughter or not? How can you make me feel so worthless?"


    Brenda seemed oblivious to her question and continued, "Fine, I''ll ask him myself. Ask him toe over and I''ll do it!"


    Olivia replied, "No way!"


    "What now?"


    "It''s a no, no matter what. Doesn''t Uncle know that Mr. Arnold? He knows Sam. You can ask Uncle Pord to talk to him. I''m hanging up." With that, Olivia hung up the phone quickly and switched the phone to silent.


    How maddening.


    Her uncle and her parents troubled her further before she couldpletely sort out her issues.RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only


    Her rtionship with Sam was a bit roughtely, but Sam acted as if nothing had happened. So she was the only one who felt so. How frustrating.


    There was no way she''d turn the fake rtionship real. She''d be done for if she actually ended up falling in love with him.


    However, to Olivia''s surprise, Sam''s parents suddenly visited him.


    The weather was getting cold. So she wouldn''t leave the house unless she had to and instead wrap herself in a thick nket, nestled in front of herputer with a mini heater on the side and a cup of hot chocte. She was living her best life


    However, she suddenly thought of something and went to the bathroom to apply a mask. As soon as she finished applying, she heard the door open.


    Olivia was stunned for a moment. She wondered if Sam had returned.


    Then again, it was still too early. It couldn''t be him. But who else had the key to his house?


    The hair on the back of her neck suddenly stood.


    Could it be a thief?


    With that thought, Olivia looked around and finally went into the kitchen to pick up a pot.


    If it really was a thief, she''d pound him mercilessly!


    "Marcus, did we get the wrong house?"


    However, what greeted Olivia was a couple''s voices.


    First was a woman''s confused voice, then came a man''s uncertain tone, "No... don''t think so. See, the key still fits the lock. If we are in the wrong house, we won''t be able toe in." "Then why does the ce look like this? It used to be bare when we camest time. But now, it looks like it belongs to a girl!"


    "Ahem, could it be that Sam has found himself a girlfriend?"


    "Girlfriend?" the woman sounded sarcastic, "All he has in his head is work. There''s no way he''d be able to get a girl when he doesn''t even know how to please one."


    The man coughed awkwardly and said, "Don''t talk about the boy like that. He is a busy man; he just tends to neglect things when he''s focused. Don''t belittle him like that."


    With that, the woman began to rag on again, one worse than the next.


    "Am I wrong? Doesn''t he know how old he is? All he knows is work. He''s already not good-looking, then he even got himself a scar on his face. Who would want somewhat that ugly? How in the world did I end up with a son like him?"
