I’m Someone Else

Chapter 256

A branch company’s president was on par with a VP from headquarters. Eugene was rising through the ranks quickly. I’m honored she’s valuing me this much. I’ll work even harder to prove that she didn’t choose the wrong person.

Noticing Eugene’s response, Olivia chuckled. “Is that a no?”

“It’s a yes! It’s a yes!” Eugene thumped his chest. “Don’t you worry, Miss Pearson. I’ll do everything to make this company greater.”

Olivia held back her laughter and nodded. “Good. Go back to work. I trust that you’ll deal with everything perfectly, including the matter at hand.”

“Of course, Miss Pearson.” Eugene left, his heart leaping with joy. A few moments ago, he was just filled with respect and approval for Olivia, but now he felt a sense of loyalty for her.

Olivia saw him off, a smile curling her lips. She was the Most Beautiful Female Entrepreneur of Irieson, and even someone like Rafael called her a business genius. She knew how to run a company, of course, and that was evident from her management of Pearson Group. She knew how to utilize her human resources. Carrot and a stick was the name of the game. It was how she could make sure someone stayed loyal to her.

If the leaders of the companies Olivia was targeting knew about this, they would probably scream. They would never believe a gentle woman like her could be this iron-fisted. This wasn’t the Olivia they knew. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Should they get on Thomas’ bad side, at most, they would be beaten up and get themselves a long hospital stay. However, they had also crossed Olivia. Insulting the man she loved right in front of her warranted a heavy price. She would make sure they went out of business and get deep into debt.

Olivia looked up to check the time. It’s almost noon, so why is he not back yet? Maybe I should make a call. She took out her phone, but she didn’t dare to make the call because she was worried that Thomas might think she was too clingy and start disliking her. “Maybe I should wait. He’s probably on his way back,” she told herself.

She refused to be away from Thomas for even a second. Going even for a moment without seeing him made her feel empty inside. She didn’t even feel like working, and she rested her chin on her hand, reliving the memories of her and Thomas.

The rascal took my first kiss away and saw me stark naked. I’m not letting him off the hook. Yeah, that’s right. I’m going to stick to him forever. That first kiss came out of left field. Before she knew what was happening, her first kiss was gone. That time back in the hospital went by in a flash too. She didn’t even notice what a kiss felt like. I really want to do it again, and this time, I’m going to feel it properly.

Suddenly, she turned red. Fortunately, Thomas wasn’t there, or he would be shocked by the sight of her. She looked like she had a high fever.

The ringing of Olivia’s phone snapped her back to reality, and she picked it up. “Hello?”

“Olivia? It’s me, your grandma. I’d like to see you.” Leah was the one who called. The Genius of Capitalis was arriving soon, and she wanted Olivia to meet him. He could also confirm the financial power of the Pearsons himself. If things were to go as Leah had planned, then the marriage would be all but confirmed.

Olivia frowned. She had nothing but impatience and annoyance for Leah. Coldly, she said, “You might have dementia, woman. How many times do I have to tell you that I am not your granddaughter, and you are not my grandma? We’re not as close as you think. Now leave and never disturb me again.”

“You can’t take that tone with— Hello? Hello?” Leah wanted to say something, but she only heard beeps. Olivia had hung up.

Furious, the old lady gnashed her teeth, but she couldn’t do anything. She was humble enough, and yet Olivia still wouldn’t acknowledge that she was her grandmother. Fine, I don’t mind, but at least say yes to the marriage. I can’t believe you’re not interested in him at all. “I won’t let this happen. The family’s fate hangs on this marriage. I must have her married off to them,” she hissed, her eyes filled with venom.

Leah was someone who would do anything to achieve her goal. She had spent too much time and effort building up the marriage between Olivia and the Genius of Capitalis, and she would not let that plan fail at this crucial moment. Her rage was understandable, of course. For one, Olivia was cold and distant toward her. For another, she too had heard of the attack on Pearson Group’s companies, and Leah was no fool. After a little digging around, she knew Olivia was behind this.

She thought she would deal with both matters at once after she met up with Olivia, but the girl wouldn’t even give her a chance. Still, she had no choice but to make another call.

Olivia was on her way to a meeting when her phone rang again. She checked who the caller was, and it was still Leah, but she took the call again. “What part of ‘no’ do you not understand?”

She hung up, but Leah called again. Olivia hung up, but the phone kept ringing. In the end, she was irate. “Are you mad or something? Stay away from me! Try pulling any stupid tricks and you’re done for.”

After she hung up this time, Olivia blocked Leah’s number.

Leah’s face was as black as thunder. Only two out of the dozen calls she made were picked up by Olivia, and she didn’t even get to speak before Olivia told her to shut up. Did she just threaten me as well?

Furious, Leah hurled her phone away, and it was smashed into shards. It was the latest model too. How dare she take that attitude with me? No one talks like that to me. “I tried to be nice, girl, but you just had to spit in my face. Fine. You made me do this.”
