Chapter 33: An Expert From the Odinaries
Olive could not understand the unreadable codes on the screen anyway. She dared not to bother since she noticed that Ivy was in a mode of working so she did not put the sarcasm of Susie in her mind, either. That woman was just like that. Olive did not look good to her at all. She always wanted to make some trouble for Olive and Olive had got used to it now.
Olive poured a cup of tea for Ivy. He liked tea very much even though he was running a bar. He also knew the culture of tea. Olive saw a set of stuffs for making tea and that was quite delicate. It must cost a lot of money.
It was not known that when Sabrina got here. She hit Olive's shoulder suddenly and asked with a low sly voice," Hey, I saw you are very intimate. Is he your boyfriend? I heard that you found a top handsome guy to help with us when I was down there."
Olive hit back with her elbow," Stop gossiping. Just a good friend."
" Either a boyfriend or a male intimate. He looks just like a pretty boy in the TV drama. Handsome and talented. You can consider about him." Sabrina's sight was stick on Ivy and it grew vaguer and vaguer.
" Stop being garrulous here. What's your matter to come up here?" Olive could only change the topic, or this woman would talk ceaselessly. She was quite annoying when she was chattering.
"Eh, I nearly forget that. Boss was calling me. I must go to take his orders immediately. It can't be something terrible, dose it? Please don't put the terrible things on me. Amitabha, god bless me."
Olive smiled. This woman was never serious at usual.
She moved to the side and sorted the works she had to do these days in order of level of urgency. She must be familiar with the duties of an assistant even though she did not know how long she would stay on the position of an assistant.
Olive looked at the office of Alan unconsciously. The door was still closed. Maybe the topic he talked with Sabrina was the same on he talked with Olive since before this, Alan called Adam in and talked with him for more than an hour.
" Have you get used to your work since you were promoted?" Ivy suddenly approached Olive.
Olive was a little bit frightened then she returned to normal instantly and smiled," It's all good."
"The computers are good now. When are you going to get off work? I will wait you here." Ivy was still reserved. He was gentle even when he was talking since, he was afraid of disturbing the working atmosphere.
Olive stunned for a while. When she had not reacted, Susie opened her red mouth surprisingly," I have done it?"
With an expression of how possible.
Ivy nodded. He did not act indifferently even though he was offended by Susie's words just now. He smiled," Belle, you can try with your computer now."
A word of belle made Susie blushed suddenly. She never expected that Olive could have such a capable friend and their relationship looked quite well.
In the other hand, the man seemed to have an unusual background. His wearing was a little casual, but they were all well-known brands. Who was he? How could he solve this problem which had been confused the whole IT department?
However, Olive was so excited and surprised, and she hugged him in arms," Ivy, you are such a talented one without showing off. You are really shocking us."
The problem which could not be solved by all those technicists was unexpectedly solved by him easily.
In fact, Olive did not really know the background of Ivy. Ostensibly, he was a drunkard in the park, a boss of a bar and sometimes a guitar player of a bar band. He got an expensive apartment and he was a bachelor tile now.
Even though he must be a high born, Olive had never asked about it. Since they became friends for five years, she only knew that he got affection and faith. These were enough.
When Olive and Ivy were holding each other in arms, the door of Alan's office was opened. Behind Sabrina, Alan was there with his face cold and even the air was lowered to minus degree.
Olive felt the sight was containing ice blades. The smile on her face was nearly frozen. She moved her arms away from Ivy's arms and said embarrassedly," Mr. Hoyle."
Ivy looked at Alan lightly. There was a haze that could not be noticed by others flashed in his eyes.
"Your friend?" Alan asked directly.
" Yes, this is Ivy. A friend I asked to help with our computers. Ivy, this is our boss, Mr. Hoyle." Olive simply introduced them to each other. Somehow, she saw a flame at the point that two men's sight touched but it was vanished instantly like it was her illusion. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Was she thinking too much?
Olive felt Ivy was a little strange. But she could not tell which part of him was strange.
" You can go to the financing to take your payment directly." Alan said without any emotion but, suddenly he gave a feeling of commanding to Olive.
Ivy smiled lightly," No need. If Mr. Hoyle wants to show your gratitude, give a permission to Olive to let her get off work one hour earlier."
It was 4:30 in the afternoon and the time of off duty was earlier in winter.
Olive stunned and she felt the coldness of the expression of Alan was stronger and stronger. But there was still a smile on his mouth. He said without emotion," No problem. Just remember the time for working tomorrow, Miss Steele."
Olive must show her gratitude since Ivy did a big favor for her. She threw her bag to her back when she just got out from the building," Let's go. The dinner is on me to show my gratitude."
Ivy seemed a little bit angry," Do we have to be as courteous as this?"
"We don't but the we have to eat dinner anyway. Or, are you following the fashion of reducing weight?" Olive looked him up and down with a defiant sight. He was 180cm tall, not fat nor thin. He would be a pearlescent model if he stands on the catwalk.
Ivy laughed," Fine. I can never beat you up by mouth. Isn't you afraid of that I will eat up your wallet today?"
"Never mind, you did a big favor for the company. I can just go to find the financing and apply for reimbursement." Olive made such a fuss about that.
"You are a typical person that takes advantage from the public to satisfy your own wish."
"It is legitimate anyway." After Olive said that, she laughed herself, too
