Chapter 242
Chapter 242
After getting home, Olivia checked on the trackers again. The one that had gone into the landfill had disappeared from the display. But the others hadn’t changed much from before.
Jack’s phone was still turned off. Olivia sighed
She was getting closer to the truth, but the path ahead was covered in fog. No matter how hard she tried to clear things up, nothing changed.
Fortunately, the project was progressing smoothly. Her proposal passed the other company’s screening, and they would have a meeting with her soon.
Donned in a formal outfit, her palms were sweating a little.
Opening the door, she smiled politely. “Hello, I’m Olivia Fordham from Miller Group.”
A youth in a white suit sat at the table. His features were exquisite, and there was a smile on his face. “We meet again, Olivia.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOlivia was stunned. “Colin.”
She finally realized what this meant. “So you’re Mr. Moriarty, the general manager of Peak Group?”
“Yes. I just took over the business from my father.” Colin shrugged helplessly. “In truth, I wanted to be a doctor.”
The team members who contacted Peak Group said that they were difficult to handle. Teams A and B had tried taking on this project before, but they couldn’t get it done.
Only Team C had nothing to lose, so they persisted.
The moment Olivia saw Colin, she asked the burning question, “Mr. Moriarty, did you agree to this partnership because of the proposal? Or was it because of… me?”
Colin politely pulled out a chair for her. Then, he asked the waiter to serve the dishes. The gentle smile remained on his face as he said, “Both.”
Sitting down opposite Olivia, he began to explain, “At first, I found the proposal quite . Then, when I realized that it was you, I knew I had to approve it. You saved my life, after all.”
“You’re not scared of cats now, are you?” Olivia gave a rare smile.
“Nope. Snowball and I get along very well.”
The business talk was much more relaxed and easier than expected. After excusing herself, Olivia went to pay the bill, but she was told that the bill was already paid.
With a takeout container in hand, Colin smiled. “You still owea meal. This one doesn’t count.”
“Sure. Let’s have another meal sometime.”
Colin placed the takeout container in her hands. “You used to love this dish. I wonder if you still like it now?”
It was made by a famous pastry chef. At a glance, Olivia could see the n“Palmer Snack House” printed on the container.
“It’s been so many years, but the shop is still in business.” She was amazed. She hadn’t been to the shop in almost two years.
“Yeah. I remembered it when I was passing by today. I didn’t expect it to still be there.”
A warm hand covered hers, and the youth’s voice was clear as he said, “Olivia, I know a lot has happened to the Fordhams.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“No matter how cold this world is, you have to retain your warmth. Even if you can’t make others feel warm, you have to at least keep out the cold.”
With that, Colin withdrew his hand. He didn’t do anything out of bounds. His expression was gentle as he asked, “I’d like to visit Mr. Fordham. May I?”

“Sure.”
Olivia waved the document they had just signed. “But I have to go back to the company first. Do you have tafter work?”
“If it’s to keep you company, Olivia, I always have time.”
When @livia returned with the contract, everyone in Team C was stunned.
They had spent a long ton this project, but Peak Group never agreed to it. They never thought that Olivia would get the partnership as soon as she joined.
Norma said in an exaggerating fashion, “You’re amazing, Ms. Fordham. I was wondering why Mr. Miller would let you handle the project, but now I know, You’re very talented!
“Our team leader has been trying to get it done, but it never went through. You did it just like that!”
Olivia had never liked opportunistic people like Norma. Still, she could make use of Norma. Hence, Olivia put in seffort to mend their broken relationship.
When they were in the pantry, Olivia asked Norma a question, “What’s Jackson like?”
