Chapter 26 Itchy and Deste
Chapter 26 Itchy and Deste
Oliver''s heart hung in his throat.
Even through the phone, he could feel the murderous aura emanating from Liam.
Did he cook Liam''s goose?
Oliver checked his watch and pped himself hard in the head. Damn it! If he was interrupted while he
was having fun, he would also want to tear that person into pieces!
"Noah..." He exined with a ttering smile, "If it wasn''t for an emergency, I wouldn''t call at this time. I
thought you didn''t go to bed so early..."
"Get to the point!"
Liam growled angrily. He turned around, walked to the balcony, and closed the sliding door behind him
with a tter.
"I''m afraid you have to go back to Emberfall," Oliver lowered his voice, "Now the news that you are not
dead has spread, Sir Martinez is very agitated, and uncle and aunt are..."
"Okay, I know," Liam frowned, "I will contact them privately, but I won''t return to Emberfall so soon."
Oliver did not understand the situation, so he could only say "oh".
"By the way, Noah, I''ve checked today. The client who Ste visited today for business was the one
Ava hadn''t gotten after following up for three months! Heh... I used a little trick and Ste seeded in
getting the order. Themission for this order is quite a lot. She can get fourteen thousand dors..."
Liam was so angry that he hung up before Oliver could finish his babbling.
Oliver was confused again. He poured a ss of wine for Caleb who was beside him, and asked
fearfully, "What did I say wrong again?"
Caleb could not helpughing.
"You ruined his n, what kind of attitude can he have towards you?"
Oliver was extremely remorseful and kept pping his mouth.
"And why do you have to babble about Ste getting the order?"
"This..." Oliver''s eyes widened, "Did I tter in the wrong way again?"
Caleb rolled his eyes at him, "Ava hadn''t gotten the order after following up with the client for three
months, but Ste, a neer, got the order. There are a lot of people and gossips in thepany.
What do you think they will talk about her?"
Oliver fell silent.
"Besides, I have read Ste''s sales n," Caleb sighed softly, "It was like something out of a textbook.
Even if you didn''t say anything, Mr. Davis would have signed it too!"
"So, it was not your credit that Ste got the order, understand?"
Oliver''s face contorted. He felt like crying but the tears would note.
"Think a little more when you talk and act in the future!" Caleb patted him on the shoulder, "Sigh, I
should have studied medicine back then, so that I could treat your brain!"
Liam leaned on the balcony railing. His deep eyes seemed to be in harmony with the night sky,
revealing no emotion.
The wind blew with a hint of coolness, and he became more awake. After a while, he turned and
returned to the room. Ste was no longer in the bedroom. He looked around and heard light noises
from the washing machine in the bathroom.
Ste also saw him. She smiled slightly, revealing two shallow dimples.
She was a little shy. She looked down to separate the machine-washed and hand-washed clothes one
by one, and said softly, "Go to bed, I will do theundry."
Liam sighed softly and wailed in his heart.
Desire came like powerful waves, and it was very ufortable to be interrupted suddenly.
Now he had to hold it back gradually.
It felt like thousands of worms eating away at his body bit by bit, itchy and deste.
But he could not act like a lustful man in front of her and force her into bed to do it again.
So, he smiled grudgingly, went back to the living room, threw himself heavily into the sofa, and covered
himself tightly with a quilt.
The news of Ste getting the order spread rapidly throughout thepany, and even some seniors in
the sales department looked at her with admiration.
She did not get any sales in the first two months, but then she got a big order all of a sudden, which
was indeed a sensation.
At the regr meeting of the sales department, the sales director praised her, saying that she had
unlimited potential, and also gave her a bonus to motivate her.
Ste remained level-headed all the time, silently watching everyone''s eyes.
Some congrattions were sincere, and some apuse was hypocrisy.
There were also tant exclusion and jealousy like from Ava.
But Ste did not care about these, she only cared about the numbers in her bank ount.
"Hmph, she''s so good in pretending!" She passed by the pantry and heard someone talking inside,
"Look how calm she was when the director praised her! She looked like an old hand."
"Maybe she''s really an old hand!" Another shrill voice said with a smile, "The more one pretends to be
innocent, the more stories they may have!"
"What have you heard?"
"Hush..." The person lowered their voice, "I heard that Ste was able to get this order because
someone helped her!"
"Who? Mr. rk? I heard that Mr. rk pursued Ste in college, and it was a fierce pursuit! But Ste
just refused to date him!"

"It was probably not Daniel rk. Why would he help Ste instead of his girlfriend? Besides, Ava
Brown was not able to get the order for three months, Daniel would not be able to get it too!"
"Do you mean... there is someone more important behind Ste?"
The few people whispered in low voices, and then let out a burst ofughter.
Feeling bored, Ste turned leave, just to meet Ava''s murderous eyes.
She was startled. Her heart was pounding, but her face was still calm.
"Hello, Miss Brown. How are you?"
Ava folded her arms and looked at her with a sneer, "Oh, how can I be fine with you dangling in front of
me all day?"
