I’m Someone Else

Chapter 129

It was almost midnight, yet Thomas was still making medicine for her. Olivia bet barely any of her family members would go this far for her, not to mention when Thomas had no blood relationship with her whatsoever.

To have such a confidante in life was enough! Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

The night passed quietly, and the next morning, Thomas took a quick shower after waking up and read an ancient book on the couch while waiting for breakfast to be ready.

Meanwhile, Olivia busied away in the kitchen, and knowing he couldn’t stop her, Thomas didn’t bother trying.

“I’m surprised, Thomas. You’re pretty cultured.” Ophelie tilted her head to stare at the book cover for a while. Alas, it was written in an ancient language she didn’t understand.

Thomas chuckled politely at Ophelie in response. Her sister might be his friend, but he had no favorable impressions of this young woman.

After all, she gave him a solid slap on their first meeting, then wrongly accused him of harming Olivia and even splashed him with alcohol. If it weren’t for Olivia, Thomas probably wouldn’t even bother himself with her.

“Breakfast is ready!” Oliva beckoned to the two of them, wearing an apron. Her appearance was far from that of Irieson’s Most Beautiful Female Entrepreneur. If anything, she looked more like a virtuous wife.

The three of them sat around the dining table and enjoyed the delicious breakfast when suddenly…

Ring, ring, ring…

Thomas’ phone rang. He checked it to find it was a call from Molly.

“Hello?”

“Thomas… Do you have time? Can we meet up?”

“Sure. Send me your current location. I’ll come to you right away.”

Thomas had a pretty good impression of Molly, and it must be something important if she was looking for him early in the morning. He certainly couldn’t ignore it.

“I-I’m at home. You’ve been here before…”

“Alright,” Thomas agreed and hung up the phone.

Aside, Olivia had a piece of her fried egg on her fork but had forgotten to eat it. She had no appetite now; all her attention was focused on the voice coming from Thomas’ phone.

The volume was loud enough for Olivia to hear it clearly. Molly was her secretary, and if she couldn’t even recognize her voice, what CEO would she be?!

Why is Molly looking for Thomas? Can it be… Can they be seeing each other?!

At that, Olivia’s heart twinged as though someone had stabbed it with a needle.

Just then, Thomas ended the call, pulling Olivia back to reality. She quickly lowered her head, pretending she hadn’t heard anything, and ate the fried egg.

However… Why does this egg taste like cardboard?

“I’ll go out for a while. I’ll come back to pick you up at noon, and we’ll go to the company together,” Thomas said to Olivia.

“Oh, okay.”

With that, Thomas walked to the door, changed his shoes, and left, leaving Olivia gazing at the door, lost in thought.

Suddenly, a slender hand appeared before Olivia’s eyes and waved. “Olivia, oh, Olivia, he’s long gone, yet you continue to stare at the door. I bet you have a crush on him, don’t you?”

Olivia flushed crimson at once, and she snapped with feigned anger. “Shoo! What do little girls like you know?”

Crush? As if! Thomas and I are just good friends, you nonsense-blabbering girl.

“Huh, I might be two years younger than you, but I know these things just as much as you do!” Ophelie rolled her big eyes around. “The way I see it, Thomas is a rare specimen though a little awkward. You better play your cards right and not let others get to him first. Good luck, I believe in you!”

“You brat! Stop it!” Olivia, annoyed and embarrassed, covered her sister’s mouth, and the two sisters started messing around.

Soon, Thomas arrived at Molly’s house and drove her to a cafe. However, neither said a word after ordering a cup of coffee.

Molly wore a pure white pleated dress with neat bangs and exquisite makeup. She was obviously meticulously dressed, which made her already beautiful and elegant appearance resemble a princess from a fairy tale. Naturally, she became the center of attention in the cafe.

However, Thomas merely glanced indifferently at her and showed no other expression.

Yes, Molly was a beauty, but he had no intention of being in a romantic relationship at the moment. If anything, he was just appreciating her from a distance.

On the other hand, Molly wasn’t as composed as Thomas. She lowered her head, tightly clasping her hands together, feeling her heart pounding incessantly.

She had indeed developed feelings for Thomas. After all, who wouldn’t be infatuated by a man like him?

She witnessed distinctively how he dealt with Izzy at Morton Residence, and who in all of Irieson would dare do such a thing other than Thomas? Not even Curtis and his family dared say a word.

“Thomas… um, has something happened in Pearson Group?” Molly was the first to break the silence. She noticed a new CEO had arrived at Pearson Group while Olivia and Thomas had disappeared. She took a day off specifically to find out what was going on.

Thomas glanced at Molly. “It’s nothing. Don’t worry. Just focus on your work. If anyone bullies you, let me know.”

“In that case… When are you going back to work?” Molly thought she had caught a strange illness— one that would make her uneasy if she didn’t see Thomas for a day.

Instead of immediately answering the question, Thomas gave a bitter smile. Go back to work? Why would I go to Pearson Group when Olivia’s no longer there?

“I won’t be working at Pearson Group anymore.”

“What? But… you said nothing happened.”

“If you’re unhappy working at Pearson Group, call Olivia. She’s now the CEO of Keyshire Property. I believe she’ll happily have you continue as her secretary.”

“What? Keyshire Property? T-That’s the biggest real estate company in the whole of Irieson!”

Molly was beyond stunned. No wonder Miss Pearson didn’t come to work. So, she has switched jobs, huh? Not only that, she also brought Thomas along to Keyshire Property… Can it be that Miss Pearson has feelings for Thomas?

Molly shook her head at once, not daring to entertain such thoughts. Hopefully, things weren’t as she thought, or she would have no hope at all.

This is Olivia we’re talking about, the most beautiful woman in Irieson! Not only does she have a distinguished background, but she’s also competent and beautiful while I… I’m but a mere employee. What do I have against Miss Pearson?
