Chapter 212
Thea did not notice Ollie's gaze
She looked at the director with a smug look in her eyes. "What do you think?"
The director pondered for a moment before asking tentatively, "Why did you make such a decision? This seems to be a big loss for you."
After all, if the raw stone turned out to be a good material, it would be worth tens of millions of dollars. So the price of raw stones was not cheap, Moreover, Thea provided high-quality ones.
The smiled calmly. If I can get your publicity, this is not a loss Sparkle Rocks's reputation in Silvercreek is indeed not bad. but I hope it can be more successful and enter the international market."
The director looked at Thea with admiration and raised his glas "Then I look forward to working with you."
Thea was very happy, but when she thought about how she was pregnant, she held back from drinking.
After the meal. Ollie offered to send her back.
Thea refused, but she still said sincerely, "Although I don't know why you're helping me like this, you've indeed helped me at lot. I owe you a favor. If you need my help in the future, just let me know," Ollie only smiled. "Then I have to think about how to use this favor."Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Unknowingly, the two of them had already reached the door.
Ollie looked at the time. "It's very late. I'll send you back to your place. It's just on the way."
Thea frowned. Just as she was thinking, he saw a familiar car driving over.
It was Nicolas's car.
Ollie recognized that this person's identity was not ordinary through the car and license plate number. Before he could speak, he saw Thea walking out quickly.
The car stopped and Nicolas got out. His gaze lingered on Ollie for a moment before he looked at Thea tenderly.
Thea pouted coquettishly. "Why are you here? Who told you I was here?"
But there was a hint of relief and joy in her strides toward him.
Seeing that she was wearing thin clothes, Nicolas took off his jacket and draped it over her. He took the opportunity to hold her hand intimately and frowned unhappily. "Why are you so cold? It's been raining non-stop these few days. Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?" The large black suit jacket made her face look even more beautiful.
She only stared at Nicolas with a smile. She was not as cold and distant as usual. This was the first time Ollie had seen such shyness and gentleness from her.
He was stung by her smile. He could tell that Nicolas was hostile towards him.
If it were an ordinary man, they would have left resentfully at this moment.
However, Ollie was unwilling. With his hands in his pockets, he walked over with a faint smile on his face.
He said, "Mr. Hendrix, what a coincidence. I didn't expect you to know Thea. He extended his hand.
Thea looked at him in surprise and then at Nicolas. "Do you know each other?"
Before Nicolas could answer, Ollie continued, "Of course I know him. He has a good relationship with my brother. He came to my house previously. I've seen him a few times
Thea didn't know if it was her imagination, but she felt that Ollie's tone was cold.
She coughed lightly and tried to smooth things over. "Nicolas does know a lot of people, but I didn't expect such a coincidence.
Nicolas's gaze was cold. He naturally saw the guard and hostility of Ollie.
He said, "Indeed, I know you. I've also learned about your current situation from your older brother. If possible, he still hopes that you can go back and accept your family's arrangements for you. After all, it must be tiring to run some marginal industries, right?" Seeing that Ollie's expression was getting uglier and uglier, Thea felt a headache coming on. She hurriedly pushed Nicolas into the car. "I'm not feeling well. I'd better go back first."
Before she left, she did not forget to comfort the upset Ollie. "Mr. Windrow, I'm really grateful for what happened today. If you need any help, feel free to look for me" Ollie's expression softened slightly as he snorted coldly.
The car started. Thea glanced at the rearview mirror. Ollie's figure was getting further and further away until she disappeared.
She reached out and massaged the space between her eyebrows.
Nicolas exuded a cold aura and he looked upset.
'Do you have a good relationship with Ollie's brother?" Thea asked.
Although Nicolas was unhappy, he still answered honestly, "We don't have a good relationship. We only met a few times by chance. We don't get along."
Thea was a little surprised. "Then why did you say that in front of him?"
Nicolas turned around and looked at her silently. His eyes were filled with subtle emotions.
Thea immediately understood. She couldn't help but laugh and said curiously, "Are you jealous? But he and I are only business partners. He helped me, so I have to help him. According to the current situation, it's a good thing that I can have more friends instead of more enemies.
Nicolas held her hand tightly and said coldly, "I don't like the way he looks at you."
Thea smiled even more happily. "He's born like that. He's affectionate even when he looks at the pillars by the roadside. Eve only met him three or four times. Every time, it's for a collaboration. That won't happen." Nicolas pursed his lips and did not say anything.
Thea leaned on his shoulder and yawned. "But actually, I know that he's not a simple person. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'll be careful."
Nicolas sounded a little helpless. "If possible, I hope you can rely on me more."
Thu, Nov
Thea opened her eyes. She had mixed feelings. "Reliance represents trust, and trust is a gamble. It's not that but I don't want to look forward to it. At the moment, I can't be completely unreserved to you." -71%
I'm unwilling
She thought that Nicolas would be unhappy, but she left a gentle kiss on her forehead. "I understand. I'll wait for you"
Thea felt as if a breeze had blown past her heart. She had never felt so relaxed before, and it made her heart itch.
A certain part of her heart softened. Soon, they arrived at the place.
The two of them got out of the car. While there were a few people in the underground garage, Nicolas pulled Thea into his arms and hugged her.
He did not do anything else and only felt the warmth and smell of her body greedily.
Then, he let go of her and smiled gently. "Go back and rest."
Thea's ears were a little red. She pretended to be calm. "I thought you would take the opportunity to suggest going back with me today."
However, Nicolas only said, "The one-month probation period hasn't passed yet. I know my limits."
Thea smiled. "Good night."
After watching her get into the elevator, Nicolas left in peace
As soon as he got into the car, his phone suddenly rang.
After the call was connected, Darwin's panicked voice came through. "Mr. Hendrix, Ms. Ralap has escaped."
Nicolas's eyebrows twitched a few times when he heard that.
