Unfinished Business with You

Chapter 94

She told Eugene politely, “Go to my studio then. Let me off somewhere I can hail a ride.”

She told Eugene politely, “Go to my studio then. Let me off somewhere I can hail a ride.”

For some reason, Eugene didn’t want to get separated from her this way. “I’m not busy today, so why don’t you move over today?”

“Today?” Olivia was surprised.

“Yeah. I’ll call the movers to move your stuff, then I’ll take you to the residence to pick North up.” Procrastination wasn’t Eugene’s style, so he called the movers quickly. Because she just came back, Olivia didn’t have many possessions. With the help of a mover company, it didn’t take long before everything was moved, and without them lifting a finger too.

When Olivia came to Muse Peninsula and saw the bigger house, she felt like she was dreaming. “I heard it’s hard to buy a house here. The availability’s zero, so how did you do it?”

“The Nolan Group owns them.” He laughed.

That answered her question. No wonder he managed to get one so quickly. “I can’t stay for free then. I didn’t do anything to deserve this, so I can’t accept your gift. It’s too much!”

Eugene said imperiously, “Just stay here. You’re not being you.” NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” She pouted.

“You didn’t even bat an eye when you made me pay so much for that item. It was supposed to cost five hundred thousand, and just because you wanted to get back at me, you made it cost a hundred million.

Now you’re hesitating over a house?” he answered calmly.

Olivia glanced at him. “You said I have a rotten personality, so anything goes for me, no?”

Eugene stiffened up. “Yeah, so keep this up and think of the house as compensation.”

With her head lowered, Olivia mused. “Shouldn’t I keep letting guilt wrack you?”

“I think you should cash it in for maximum profit,” he replied.

“Okay then.” I do accept good advice sometimes.

“What will you do now? Pick North up?” Eugene grinned.

Looking at him, she thought he wasn’t as aloof as everyone made him out to be. “Sure. Then I’ll buy something to cook. If you don’t mind, come over for some housewarming.” Moving to a new house meant they had to have a meal in it first, so she couldn’t eat out; that was their custom anyway.

“You can cook?” Eugene looked dubious.

Olivia thought he was laughing at her, so she clicked her tongue. “I don’t know much about cooking, but that doesn’t mean I have no idea how to cook at all. How else do you think I managed to raise my son?”

“Your friends helped?” He laughed.

Olivia scoffed. “Yeah right. Fine, I’ll get someone who can cook.”

Then, she called Kate. “Kate, I moved into a new house.”

“Again? Where is it this time?” Kate gasped.

“Muse Peninsula.”

Kate raised her voice, “Oh my! You’re awesome now! A high-end place, huh? It’s going to cost at least fifty thousand a month, isn’t it? Did Nathan persuade you?”

“I just thought it through, okay? Come here now for some housewarming celebration.”

“You’re going to ask me to cook, aren’t you?” Kate sounded alarmed.

“I’m giving you a chance to show your skills.”

“I call bull. Someone important is there, isn’t it? That’s why you don’t want to cook?”

Can’t she keep it down? Looking resigned, Olivia took a few steps away and lowered her voice. “I can cook, but you’re that bit better than me, no? I’ll shop for groceries, so come here before six.” Before Kate could protest, Olivia hung up.
