That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

Olivia was taken aback.

The Thornton family?

As far as her knowledge went, the only family named Thornton involved in the medical business in Seacrest was the very family she had a conflict with.

The thought made Olivia furrow her brow, hoping she wouldn’t be so unlucky as to encounter the person she least wanted to see.

After a while, the two of them arrived at the agreed-upon cafe.

The representative from the herbal medicine company hadn’t arrived yet.

Olivia and Gabriel took a seat and ordered two cups of coffee, waiting for the other party.

After about ten minutes, there was a knock on the private room door. “They’re here,” Gabriel perked up and said to Olivia beside him.

Olivia nodded, stood up, and said, “Please come in.”

Shortly after, the door was pushed open, and a male voice came in, “Sorry for being late.”

Olivia looked up and faced Emma, and she couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. It seemed that whatever she feared most came to pass.

Emma, on the other hand, stared at her in astonishment. Her voice sounded a bit sharp due to her excitement as she exclaimed, “You… Olivia Prescott? Why is it you?”

Wasn’t she supposed to have disappeared long ago?

Why would she appear here?

Gabriel and Joshua were both surprised by Emma’s reaction.

Gabriel, maintaining a cooperative attitude, kindly asked, “Miss Thornton, do you know Dr. Prescott?”

Emma’s expression changed again as she said, “Dr. Prescott?”

“This is the head of our research institute, Olivia Prescott. She came with me today to demonstrate the sincerity of our institute for the contract we’re signing.” Gabriel introduced.

Emma’s face grew even more unpleasant.

She just wanted to know when Olivia had come back!

Did Victor’s confession this morning, the first time in six years, about wanting to break off their engagement have anything to do with Olivia?

Did he already know that Olivia had returned?

Perhaps they had even met?Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

The more Emma thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.

Seeing Olivia in front of her, her expression fluctuated.

Compared to Emma, Olivia seemed much calmer, as if it were their first meeting.

She pursed her lips slightly, looking detached, and asked straightforwardly, “Miss Thornton, do you still intend to continue our cooperation?”

Emma snapped back to the present upon hearing Olivia’s voice. She stared at Olivia for a few seconds, her expression slightly cold, and her gaze took on a playful glint. “Of course, Dr. Sutcliffe has worked so hard for this contract, and I certainly won’t let his efforts go to waste.”

As she finished speaking, she called the waiter over and ordered four more cups of coffee.

During the wait for the coffee, Emma’s gaze traveled over Olivia with a slightly gloomy look.

Although she didn’t want to admit it, Olivia had changed a lot in these six years.

Unlike before, she now exuded an air of confidence just by sitting there, almost overshadowing her in both beauty and presence.

And her, after six years, remained unchanged.

The person who was almost within her grasp now seemed more and more unattainable.

Realizing this, Emma clenched her hand into a fist under the table, filled with jealousy.

“I would very much like to collaborate with your institute. However, I felt that the previously discussed price was not quite suitable. Today, with Dr. Prescott here as the head, I hope we can discuss the price issue further,” Emma replied coldly, wearing a professional smile but with a cold gleam in her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Gabriel was about to speak but was stopped by Olivia. She calmly asked, “Miss Thornton, are you suggesting…?”

“I hope to raise the price by an additional two percents based on the original offer,” Emma answered coldly.
