Elaine’s attention was distracted by the word ‘salary’.
“Of course. How could you pay your tuition fee without having any salary? Don’t worry. You are
considered working even if you are attending workshops. I would still pay you your salary. Be nice. I
need to leave now.”
Emmett patted Elaine’s cheek and walked out of the room in rush.
Oliver was standing outside of the door. He quickly stood up straight and looked at Elaine and Emmett
with his eyes widened.
It’s like he wanted to read if there was anything happened between Elaine and Emmett from their
expression.
…
Emmett patted Oliver’s shoulder and said quickly, “I need to leave now. Something happened in the
office. Elaine is going to attending the management training workshops these few days. I need you to
supervise her. Don’t let her slack off.”
Oliver answered, “Alright. Don’t worry. Elaine will be in good hands.”
He doesn’t care what Emmett need him to do. All Oliver wanted was only to be with Elaine.
Emmett stared at Elaine for a while and left the building.
Elaine too stared at the direction Emmett left. She felt lost.
Oliver had breakfast with Elaine. He then sent Kayden away and sent Elaine to the training workshop.
“I really don’t want to attend the training!”
“But it is good for you job-searching. Furthermore, not anyone could attend this training. This training
workshop that Emmett ask you to join is actually for your own good. I agree with him in this.”
Emmett agreed, and now Oliver agreed too. Gosh, is she living a life where anyone could control her
choice?
Before entering the workshop venue, Elaine saw someone she knew.
“Hey, isn’t that Hazel? Or did I mistake someone else as Hazel?”
Elaine rubbed her eyes and looked again. She was sure this time. That the woman she saw flirting with
a tall man is Hazel, her best friend.
“What is Hazel doing here?”
Oliver squinted his eyes and looked, “Ha! Isn’t that Lucas? They are together now?”
Oh my, Hazel is with Lucas now?
Didn’t she always call him the bad guy?
Then why is she flirting with him so early in the morning?
Yes, the way Hazel was laughing and hitting Lucas in his arm was defined as ‘flirting’ in the eyes of
Elaine and Oliver.
“Hazel! Hazel!”
Elaine ran over and waved at Hazel.
“What?” Hazel was startled. She turned around and saw Elaine. However, her face flushed the moment
their eyes met.
“Hey, Elaine. What are you doing here?”
Hazel was still in shock.
Lucas too turned around and saw Oliver. He smiled.
“Hey, Oliver. You’re here too.”
…
Oliver smiled and nodded, “Yes, I’m here for the training workshop with Elaine.”
Elaine pulled Hazel aside and whispered, “Why are you both here together? You guys are getting along
now?”
“Getting along with Lucas? Hell no. Why do you think we are getting along?”
Hazel was awkwardly blushing and her face went pale at the same time.
She glared at Lucas.
“No? I saw you guys are quite…intimate from far.”
Hazel put on an angry expression, “Hell no. I wanted to castrate him, remember?”
Elaine was shocked to see Hazel’s angry face.
What did Lucas do that made Hazel wanted to castrate him?
“What did he do? Why are you so mad at him?”
Hazel’s face flushed even more when she heard Elaine’s question.
She took a few deep breaths and calmed herself down. She then answered Elaine, “Anyway, he is a
jerk. Now, stop talking about Lucas. What are you doing here?”
Elaine scratched her head and said unhappily, “To be honest, I didn’t want to come here at all. This
training workshop is just hilarious.”
“Oh!” Hazel raised her voice. She pointed at Elaine, “You are here for the training workshop as well?”
Elaine widened her eyes, “What? You are here for that training workshop too?”
Hazel furrowed her brows. She pointed at Lucas and complained, “It’s all his fault. He ‘kidnapped’ me
to this training workshop in the morning. I didn’t want to come at all too.”
Elaine was confused.
I thought not anyone could attend this training workshop?
Lucas smiled, “Well, Hazel, you need to thank Elaine for this opportunity. If it is not for Elaine, you
wouldn’t have the chance to attend this training workshop at all.”
“Elaine, Emmett gave me a call this morning, asking me to get Hazel to join this training workshop with
you so that you won’t feel bored. Emmett didn’t have Hazel’s number, so he asked to be his
messenger. Hazel and I were…”
Hazel immediately stopped Lucas and said, “Elaine, let’s go to that training workshop together. You
know, this is not a bad thing, and I’m with you now. Let’s go!”
Before Elaine could process what Lucas was going to say, Hazel had already pulled her into the
building.
Emmett was worried that Elaine would feel uncomfortable in the training workshop. So he got another
slot for Hazel. Then Hazel can accompany Elaine in the training workshop, as well as supervising her
progress. Well at least, Oliver wouldn’t do anything irrational to Elaine with Hazel around.
All in all, Emmett is the most calculating and cautious person in this game.
After sending Elaine and Hazel into the building, Oliver and Lucas stood outside and had a cigarette-
chat.
Lucas looked at Oliver and asked, “She stayed overnight at your place last night?”
“Yes,” Oliver nodded and took a puff.
“Wow, Oliver. She’s yours now?”
“No,” Oliver rolled his eyes.
Lucas was shocked, “Didn’t she stayed over at your place last night? Don’t you dare to tell me that she
had her period yesterday?”
“It’s not that. Emmett came. I only got to know this morning that he knocked out all my security guards
last night. I didn’t even get to touch Elaine’s hand, and Emmett broke into my house. This is so
frustrating!”
Oliver took another puff.
He is a good looking man where all his actions are notable, and could easily attract the attention of
people.
A combination of two good looking men attracted many women to start peeking from aside.
…
“What? Emmett went to your place?”
Lucas laughed out loud when he heard what Oliver said.
“This is so embarrassing. Did Emmett punish you?”
Lucas couldn’t stop laughing whenever he tried to think about what happened at Oliver’s place last
night.
The poor Oliver and the mighty Emmett…
“He didn’t. He was angry, but I was angry too. We had a few drinks last night and got our facts straight.
We are still friends, but we are going to fight for Elaine fairly.”
Lucas was shocked, “Wow, Emmett is kind. He would befriend you again?”
“Damn, I’m the evil person now?”
Lucas shook his head, “I don’t understand why both of you like Elaine so much. I mean, she a little
cute, her eyes are a little big, her height….”
“Stop it. Stop thinking about Elaine. I don’t want to get another competitor.”
Lucas twitched his lips, “I won’t. I don’t want to get myself in between you two. Tell you what, I don’t like
cute little girls. They are no fun.”
Oliver glanced at Lucas, “You are just envious.”
“It’s true. Not everyone likes what you like. I think Hazel is fun enough.”
Lucas was shocked by his own word after spilling out his thoughts unintentionally.
Oliver widened his eyes and stared at Lucas, “Hazel? You fell for Hazel?”
Lucas put up a straight face and mumbled, “That’s not what I said.”
Oliver didn’t care about anything else besides himself. Like this moment, all he cared about was his
future with Elaine.
…
Lucas suddenly recalled, “Did Jasper sent Sally back home last night?”
Lucas was shocked by his own word after spilling out his thoughts unintentionally.
Oliver widened his eyes and stared at Lucas, “Hazel? You fell for Hazel?”
Lucas put up a straight face and mumbled, “That’s not what | said.”
Oliver didn't care about anything else besides himself. Like this moment, all he cared about was his
future with Elaine.
Lucas suddenly recalled, “Did Jasper sent Sally back home last night?”
