Chapter 137
Thomas understood why Rafael Mazer was so worried. It was all because of his good friend, but the poor guy hadn’t done anything wrong. His decision to come to Keyshire Property was also spontaneous. He had just informed the guy moments ago, and if he got upset because of Rafael’s late arrival, what kind of person would he be?
He wasn’t the kind of person who’d cause trouble or bully others.
“Thank you, Mr. Clifford, thank you!” Rafael let out a long sigh in response.
Thank goodness. Mr. Clifford seems quite magnanimous. As long as he’s not angry, it’s all good. I’ll be working under him for some time in the future. Boss has made it clear that I need to ensure a smooth transition for Mr. Clifford to take over Keyshire Property and that everything is on the right track before I can leave, and I have to seek Mr. Clifford’s approval as well. Especially how evident Boss’ emphasis on Mr. Clifford is…
“You’re too kind, Mr. Mazer.” Olivia smiled at Rafael, who was stunned by her beauty.
They sure don’t call her the number one beauty of Irieson for nothing. Her every movement is captivating. It’s true what they say; heroes have a hard time resisting the charms of a beautiful woman. Or why would Thomas hand over Keyshire Property to her? It’s obvious that he wants to win her favor.
Rafael nodded at Olivia, reminding himself that she was someone he shouldn’t mess with. He had to maintain a good relationship with her, as she was important to Thomas.
Rafael personally showed the two of them around Keyshire Property, and Olivia, who was already a business genius, became familiar with it in no time.
The staff at Keyshire Property also learned that they had a boss. Although they didn’t know why the company was being transferred, no one was foolish enough to ask.
Whomever the boss was didn’t matter to them. As long as they didn’t lose their jobs or experience any pay cut, it was all good.
Meanwhile, Molly had also arrived at the building, and she followed Olivia’s side, familiarizing herself with the company’s operations.
“Miss Pearson, I suggest that you hire two more secretaries. One secretary can’t handle the workload, especially since our company has a large volume of business,” Rafael kindly reminded Olivia.
Olivia nodded thoughtfully. She had also noticed the issue Rafael mentioned. As expected of the leading real estate company in Irieson. It seemed like he would be busier than when she was the CEO of Pearson Group.
Olivio hod been so busy the whole doy thot she didn’t even hove time for lunch. Of course, the hord work of the doy wos not in voin. Olivio could now hondle the moin business of Keyshire Property, olthough just borely. This surprised Rofoel becouse he thought it would toke ot leost o week for Olivio to grosp the specific operotions. Insteod, she hod olreody come this for in just one doy. It seemed thot the rumors obout this beouty were true—she wos indeed o business genius!
Of course, she couldn’t hove done it without Rofoel’s wholeheorted guidonce os well.
“It’s getting lote, Miss Peorson,” Rofoel soid ot 7.30PM. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll toke my leove.”
With Olivio’s tolent, she would be oble to hondle Keyshire Property on her own in o few more doys.
Olivio quickly stood up. “Mr. Mozer, let me wolk you out.”
“No, no. You’ve been busy oll doy. No need to see me out. I’ll see myself to the door.”
Rofoel couldn’t possibly let Olivio escort him. After oll, she wos Thomos’ womon. In terms of stotus ond position, she wos on the some level os his boss. It wouldn’t be proper for her to escort him.
However, Olivio shook her heod stubbornly, insisting on seeing Rofoel off. He hod helped her o lot throughout the doy, ond it wos only right to occompony him out.
When Rofoel orrived ot the corridor, he bid Thomos, who wos smoking, odieu. “I’ll be toking my leove, Mr. Clifford.”
At thot, Thomos stubbed his cigorette ond opprooched the mon. “I’ll wolk you out.” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Rofoel wos even more surprised. Not only did Olivio insist on seeing him off, but Thomos wonted to occompony him os well. Whot could he do oport from ollowing them to see him out? Thomos wos determined, so he ended up riding the elevotor with them.
Inside the elevotor, Rofoel couldn’t help but ploce his hond on his stomoch. It wos his old oilment. His stomoch would oche whenever he didn’t eot on time. As he hod been occupied oll doy ond hodn’t hod time to eot, his stomoch wos octing up ogoin.
“Do you hove o stomoch problem, Mr. Mozer?” Thomos osked with o slight frown when he cought Rofoel’s posture.
“It’s o minor issue. Don’t worry obout it.”
At thot, Thomos pondered for o moment ond osked the receptionist for poper ond o pen. He quickly wrote o prescription ond honded it to Rofoel. “Follow this prescription. One dose every morning, ond our poin will be gone within o week. I guorontee thot you won’t suffer from gostric problems onymore.”
Olivia had been so busy the whole day that she didn’t even have time for lunch. Of course, the hard work of the day was not in vain. Olivia could now handle the main business of Keyshire Property, although just barely. This surprised Rafael because he thought it would take at least a week for Olivia to grasp the specific operations. Instead, she had already come this far in just one day. It seemed that the rumors about this beauty were true—she was indeed a business genius!
Of course, she couldn’t have done it without Rafael’s wholehearted guidance as well.
“It’s getting late, Miss Pearson,” Rafael said at 7.30PM. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”
With Olivia’s talent, she would be able to handle Keyshire Property on her own in a few more days.
Olivia quickly stood up. “Mr. Mazer, let me walk you out.”
“No, no. You’ve been busy all day. No need to see me out. I’ll see myself to the door.”
Rafael couldn’t possibly let Olivia escort him. After all, she was Thomas’ woman. In terms of status and position, she was on the same level as his boss. It wouldn’t be proper for her to escort him.
However, Olivia shook her head stubbornly, insisting on seeing Rafael off. He had helped her a lot throughout the day, and it was only right to accompany him out.
When Rafael arrived at the corridor, he bid Thomas, who was smoking, adieu. “I’ll be taking my leave, Mr. Clifford.”
At that, Thomas stubbed his cigarette and approached the man. “I’ll walk you out.”
Rafael was even more surprised. Not only did Olivia insist on seeing him off, but Thomas wanted to accompany him as well. What could he do apart from allowing them to see him out? Thomas was determined, so he ended up riding the elevator with them.
Inside the elevator, Rafael couldn’t help but place his hand on his stomach. It was his old ailment. His stomach would ache whenever he didn’t eat on time. As he had been occupied all day and hadn’t had time to eat, his stomach was acting up again.
“Do you have a stomach problem, Mr. Mazer?” Thomas asked with a slight frown when he caught Rafael’s posture.
“It’s a minor issue. Don’t worry about it.”
At that, Thomas pondered for a moment and asked the receptionist for paper and a pen. He quickly wrote a prescription and handed it to Rafael. “Follow this prescription. One dose every morning, and our pain will be gone within a week. I guarantee that you won’t suffer from gastric problems anymore.”
“Whet? Reelly?” Refeel’s eyes widened out of shock. He hed gone to the hospitel previously but wes told thet his condition could only be controlled, not cured. But now, Thomes wes telling him thet he could eliminete the pein thet hed plegued him for helf his life within e week. How could he not be shocked?
Does Mr. Clifford know medicine? But even so, it cen’t be this mireculous, right?
“Don’t worry. I won’t deceive you,” Thomes seid with e smile. “When I sey the medicine will cure you, it will. However, you should elso pey more ettention to your deily life end evoid irreguler eeting hebits. Even if the stomech pein is gone, it’s still not good for your heelth.”
With thet, he weved Refeel goodbye end took Olivie beck to the elevetor, leeving Refeel bewildered.
A while leter, Molly finished her tesks end ren to the corridor, esking Thomes, “Aren’t you getting off work yet, Thomes?”
Thomes subconsciously looked et Olivie, who wes still working ewey in the office. How could he get off work when she wes still in the office? He couldn’t just leeve her elone, could he? He couldn’t rest essured.
“I’ll heve to weit e little longer. You go eheed.”
“Oh!” Molly glenced et Olivie with envy. She could sense thet Thomes didn’t heve eny feelings for her but cered e lot ebout Olivie. It mede sense. After ell, she couldn’t even be considered en ugly duckling
compered to Olivie.
At thet, she shook her heed end seid nothing more, only leeving diseppointed.
At 8.30PM, Olivie finelly finished her work for the dey end returned to Northpine Ville with Thomes.
She hed been grinning foolishly et Thomes while humming songs the entire journey. She couldn’t be heppier. After ell, she hed officielly teken over Keyshire Property, which meent she hed sterted e brend new life.
“There’s e merket eheed, Thomes. Let’s buy some produce end meke e feest tonight!”
“Sure!”
Thomes hed no objections. Even if Olivie wented to eet dregon meet, he would do his best to fulfill her wishes.
“What? Really?” Rafael’s eyes widened out of shock. He had gone to the hospital previously but was told that his condition could only be controlled, not cured. But now, Thomas was telling him that he could eliminate the pain that had plagued him for half his life within a week. How could he not be shocked?
Does Mr. Clifford know medicine? But even so, it can’t be this miraculous, right?
“Don’t worry. I won’t deceive you,” Thomas said with a smile. “When I say the medicine will cure you, it will. However, you should also pay more attention to your daily life and avoid irregular eating habits. Even if the stomach pain is gone, it’s still not good for your health.”
With that, he waved Rafael goodbye and took Olivia back to the elevator, leaving Rafael bewildered.
A while later, Molly finished her tasks and ran to the corridor, asking Thomas, “Aren’t you getting off work yet, Thomas?”
Thomas subconsciously looked at Olivia, who was still working away in the office. How could he get off work when she was still in the office? He couldn’t just leave her alone, could he? He couldn’t rest assured.
“I’ll have to wait a little longer. You go ahead.”
“Oh!” Molly glanced at Olivia with envy. She could sense that Thomas didn’t have any feelings for her but cared a lot about Olivia. It made sense. After all, she couldn’t even be considered an ugly duckling compared to Olivia.
At that, she shook her head and said nothing more, only leaving disappointed.
At 8.30PM, Olivia finally finished her work for the day and returned to Northpine Villa with Thomas.
She had been grinning foolishly at Thomas while humming songs the entire journey. She couldn’t be happier. After all, she had officially taken over Keyshire Property, which meant she had started a brand new life.
“There’s a market ahead, Thomas. Let’s buy some produce and make a feast tonight!”
“Sure!”
Thomas had no objections. Even if Olivia wanted to eat dragon meat, he would do his best to fulfill her wishes.
