I’m Someone Else

Chapter 53

“Hmm, this is quite good. It tastes sweet and sour. There’s even a hint of honey!” Olivia licked her alluring red lips while exclaiming.

When Thomas heard that, a smile tugged on his lips. Since he was afraid that she would think that the medicine was bitter, he added some cinnamon and honey to the medicine when it was ready. With that, the medicine would taste a little better.

At this moment, his mood was perfect, so he suddenly thought about teasing Olivia. He reached out his hand to her and said, “The thermos flask is 50, and the medicine is 100. I’ll take the cinnamon and honey as a favor to my friend, so that’d be 150 on the tab.”

“What?” Olivia’s expression was stunned for a moment.

“Haha!” Thomas laughed loudly before turning around to leave.

Meanwhile, when she looked at his figure from the back, her lips curled into a perfect crescent. “This man is quite thoughtful.”

At 5.00PM, Thomas came to the door of the president’s office again and looked at Olivia behind the desk. He saw that there were already tiny droplets of sweat on her fair forehead. Although there was not much, he knew that this was the effect of the medicine he came up with.

After Olivia took this medicine 30 times, all the toxins would be forced out of her body, and her blood would return to normal as well. By then, she wouldn’t need to be tortured by this illness anymore. He believed that she could have a good night’s sleep that evening.

Just then, Molly entered the president’s office with a document in her hand. When she saw Olivia, she asked with concern, “Miss Pearson, why are you sweating so much?” It’s not even summer yet. The weather is still a little cold. Does Miss Pearson have a fever?

“I’m fine…” Olivia drew out a piece of tissue to wipe her forehead.

She started to sweat when she drank the medicine from Thomas. Just now, she wasn’t bothered at all, but now she could clearly feel her whole body heating up, and she was sweating profusely. This feeling is quite familiar… Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Did Thomas let me drink… that kind of medicine? She had previously felt this whole-body heating reaction when Walt tricked her into drinking the aphrodisiac.

No way! If he wanted to take advantage of me, he didn’t need to let me drink that kind of medicine. I would have already lost my body to him that night. At this thought, she tried to feel her body condition carefully. She felt as though there was a breath roaming in her body, making her extremely comfortable, and she could obviously feel that she was very energetic. The tiredness and fatigue were already gone.

Seeing that, Molly didn’t say anything much, merely returning and continuing work at her office.

When it was nearly off time, Thomas received a call from Sean. “Hello?” He picked up the call after taking a sip of water.

“Thomas, the venue is at my house. You better be mentally prepared. My grandfather has already asked people to take out the whiskey that he has hidden in the cellar for more than 10 years for you. From what I see, you can drop your idea of going home tonight…” At this moment, Sean was walking to the cellar in his backyard to take the whiskey. He wiped the sweat on his forehead while a bright smile could be seen on his face.

His grandfather had already said beforehand to let Thomas eat something before coming over. As soon as he entered the Morton Residence, he would need to start drinking immediately. That whiskey that was kept for more than 10 years was a gift for him.

“Umm… Okay.” Hearing that, Thomas didn’t know the appropriate reaction to give. But, since Old Mr. Morton thought about him so highly, he couldn’t disappoint him. Okay then. I’ll just drink as much as I can! The worst-case scenario is just getting drunk anyway. Making Old Mr. Morton happy on his birthday is the most important thing!

He was actually feeling quite miserable. Since the Morton Family and the Peralta Family had been friends for generations, William’s grandfather would definitely be there to wish Old Mr. Morton a happy birthday. The two old men would undoubtedly shower him with their friendliness by that point. It looks like my ‘heavyweight Thomas’ nickname will be eradicated tonight.

On top of that, Sean and William’s fathers would be there too. When Thomas met the two elders that day, they didn’t let him go easily either. They dragged him and let him down one shot after another. He could still recall this piece of memory vividly.

“Oh, by the way, remember to bring a partner with you. We’ll await your arrival. Haha!” Sean laughed before hanging up the phone. There would be many guests visiting the Morton Residence that day, so of course, there were many things for him to do. First, he needed to continue with the preparation.

Hearing that, Thomas was stumped. His brows knitted tightly together. Where do I find a partner at the last minute? Old Mr. Morton is really extra. Why do I need to bring a partner with me when it’s just a birthday dinner? Does he think that it’s a prom?

When Molly saw his struggling face, she couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong, Thomas? Is there any trouble?” I’ll do whatever I can to help him if he’s in trouble. After all, he helped me out multiple times.

At this moment, Thomas lifted his head sharply and stared at Molly. Don’t I have a partner in front of my eyes? What am I worrying about?

“Molly, do you have anything to do tonight?” he asked her while looking at her.

“No…” Molly was very confused. Is he asking me out?

When he heard her answer, he heaved a sigh of relief. “Can you go to a place with me tonight and have dinner together?”

Hearing that, she was puzzled. Why is Thomas suddenly asking me out? Is he trying to… pursue me? But isn’t it too quick? He still hasn’t confessed yet, and I haven’t agreed to it yet…

When Thomas saw that Molly wasn’t saying anything, he asked, “You can’t make it?”

“No… I can…” She lowered her head while her face was blushing and used an extremely soft voice to answer him.

Meanwhile, Olivia, who was sitting in her room, didn’t stop sweating. Yet, she didn’t feel uncomfortable but felt at ease with what was going on.

At 6.00PM, Thomas entered the president’s office and looked at Olivia with a smile when he knew that his medicine was taking effect. She would be fine as long as he was present. Even when the day of worship arrived, he didn’t need to be afraid either. He would kill anyone who dared to kidnap her!

It would just be a fistfight, and his fist was rarely weaker than any other!

If this was in those days, he might have needed to consider a little, but the situation was different now. There was a sniper rifle and a pistol under the bed in his rented unit. His King of Marksman title was not a bluff because he would be the king with the two weapons in hand. I’ll kill anyone who dares to get in my way!

When Thomas drove Olivia home, she fell asleep in the passenger seat. If he listened closely, he could hear a mere snore. Before long, the car arrived at the entrance of the housing area. Seeing that Olivia

was sleeping so soundly, he didn’t want to wake her up. So, he carried her up carefully and sent her back to the condo.

He made a call to Norman and asked him to stay with Olivia for a while, just in case the tragedy of the attack by the Hind Family’s hitman would happen again while she was deep asleep.
