Chapter 299 Seeing the Point
Alex offered his opinion with a smile, “Men and women think differently. As women tend to be more perceptual and
soft-hearted, they will try their best to avoid hurting anyone’s feelings. Therefore, perhaps she just doesn’t want to
hurt her senior and you shouldn’t take that as a sign of her neglecting you.
Also, did she tell you for sure that she wasn’t going to introduce you to that senior? In fact, she might just be
waiting for the right time to do that. So, you have to give her some time because it isn’t likely that she will keep you
hidden forever.”
Eugene didn’t utter a word in response because he desperately needed someone to talk some sense into him now.
Alex found it hilarious because he had never seen him listening to his lecture so calmly without trying to argue
back.
“As far as I know about Olivia’s personality, she wouldn’t have accepted to go out with you if she didn’t take this
relationship seriously. Are you forcing her to make a choice between her senior who has been crushing on her for
seven years and you, a boyfriend whom she barely started dating? Do you have enough confidence that she will still

and you want to be properly introduced. However, I must say you’re being too greedy to ask for so many things
from her considering you two have only started dating each other.”
Keeping his eyes shut, Eugene could understand everything Alex just said but then again, he just didn’t feel like
wasting more time that he could spend with her after they had missed out on each other for seven years. If it
wasn’t because he was worried that she might not be able to accept what had happened back then, he would have
told her right away that he wanted to always be with her.
On the contrary, she didn’t feel like hurrying things up and wanted things to flow at her pace.
Nothing could change her mind even though he had been dreaming about her every single night!
Alex remarked, “Didn’t you realize that people tend to save the nice side of themselves to outsiders and act without
scruples with people who are closer to them? Do you think you will feel better if she asks her senior to be friendlier
with you because you are her boyfriend?”
Eugene looked stunned for a second before answering, “Of course not!”
Alex raised his brows at him and said, “That’s the point I’m trying to make. Of course she knows that she has been
hard on you during this period of time, so she will remember how you sacrificed yourself to cooperate with her plan
even if she doesn’t try to make it up to you later. But if you start a fight with her over the issue now, that will do you
no good but tear the two of you apart.”
Finally, Eugene saw the point. Perhaps, Alex was right to say that she only decided to sacrifice him because he was
her boyfriend. On top of that, she had promised to make it up to him by letting him be her official boyfriend after
her senior moved out from her place. It was him who had been unable to keep his cool as he was too preoccupied
by the fact that she was staying with George. However, since they had been living together for seven years already,
they would have dated a long time ago if she was interested in him.
It was only then did he realize he shouldn’t have forced her to make a decision.
Thinking that he shouldn’t waste his time wallowing in self-pity, he leapt up to his feet and said, “I have to get going
now!” With that, he made his way to the door.
In his exasperation, Alex yelled at him, “Get the bill!”
“You do it!”
“Why should I?”

Alex didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at his explanation. “I did it for your good!” But he was ignored.
“Hey, get someone to drive you!” Alex then shouted behind him but what he received in response was the sound of
the door closing.
Being left alone in the private room, Alex leaned against the sofa and kept his eyes closed as the image of someone
emerged in his mind.
If only he had been this perceptive back then, he wouldn’t have remained a bachelor up until now.
Eugene headed straight back to Muse Peninsula and went up to the 59th floor.
Standing in front of Olivia’s unit, he hesitated slightly.
In fact, he had no intention of going in and he only wanted to stand there so that he could get closer to her.
He thought of knocking on the door at first but he was sure George would be at home at this hour. If he was spotted
by George, he supposed it would be another reason to drive her up the wall.
It was their habit to chat with each other on WhatsApp after ten at night every day but tonight, he felt guilty for
some reason as he fiddled with his phone, not knowing what to say to her.
Should he apologize to her? But it seemed insincere to just say sorry to her via a message.
