Unfinished Business with You

Chapter 41

Kate vented her resentment. “That entire family is abnormal!”

Scowling, Nathan said coldly, “Why do you still go easy on people like them? You should teach them a lesson that they’ll never forget.”

Olivia snickered. “Did you know you just said exactly what North said? He said that I should only reason with human beings and not animals.”

“Hahaha…”

The three of them burst out laughing. Then, Kate continued, “North’s right. You shouldn’t waste your effort talking to her.”

Meanwhile, Nathan also smirked. “That kid will seek revenge for even the pettiest grievances. I’m kind of worried about that fat kid.”

Olivia responded, “About that kid, I don’t think he went to class today. When I left, I saw him leave with his grandma.”

Nathan answered, “Good that he has the foresight.”

Olivia continued, “Let’s not talk about him anymore. Please help me with this studio. I need it to be at a prime location, and money’s not a problem. The closer it is to Anna’s studio, the better. I can’t wait to see the look on her face when she finds out.”

“No problem. I’m on it,” replied Nathan.

While they were discussing, Olivia’s phone rang. When she looked at it, it was an unknown caller ID. Though slightly baffled, she proceeded to answer it. “Hello.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

A familiar male voice sounded out from the other end of the phone. “Is this Miss Maxwell? This is Brian. Do you have some time this afternoon?”

It took Olivia a while to process that. “Oh. Hello, Mr. Mccarthy. Is there anything?”

Kate quietly nudged Nathan to look at Olivia. “It looks like she’s going out for lunch. Did I hear it right? Is she being targeted by that trashy man again?”

Nathan gave Kate a look. “You go and listen in."

“No, you go!” Kate pushed him.

“Why me?”

“That’s your job.”

While they two were still trying to work out who should go, Olivia had already returned from the phone call. “What are you two talking about?”

They looked at each other before simultaneously turning to Olivia, remaining silent. Olivia became skeptical and puckered her lips. “Why are you looking at me like that? Do you wanna join me?”

Kate purposely put up an unfriendly look. “Who’s bringing you out for lunch? Is it a guy or a lady? Do you like that person?”

Olivia was rendered speechless. “Come on, Kate; don’t stare at me as if I’ve just betrayed you. People might think we’re a couple!”

Kate pouted and sent Olivia a flying kiss. “The whole world knows that. Spill it—who’s had their eyes on my woman? Are you going now? Are you still going to love me when you get back?”

Olivia glared at her. “I don’t think you belong in the fashion magazine industry—you’re a born actress!”

“Don’t divert the topic. Spill it.”

Olivia was annoyed. “That was the man that I saved on the street the other day. He said he wants to take me out for a meal as a token of his appreciation.”

Kate asked, “The guy at the restaurant?”

Upon seeing Olivia nodding, Kate was full of anticipation. “Ah, that man is good-looking! He’s taking you out for a meal—does that mean he likes you?”

The moment Kate finished her sentence, someone slapped her on her head. Then, she heard a familiar male voice. “Has anyone ever told you that you’re a moron? How does taking her out for a meal mean he likes her? I go over to your place for meals every day; does that mean I like you too?”

“Nathan, are you tired of living?” Kate had a fierce look on her face as she pounced on him.
