Chapter 1160 Is That How I Am In Your Heart?
Culver pulled out Naomi’s chair and said, “Dear Miss George, have a seat!”
Naomi sat down and began to eat the western food absent-mindedly.
Initially, she had found an excuse to sneak away. However, she did not expect Culver to be so attentive.
She would feel a little bad if she slipped away at the moment!
“You can’t be absent-minded when you eat.”
Culver reminded her from the other side of the table.
Naomi had no choice but to come back to her senses and eat the piece of cake. However, as soon as she bit into the cake, she felt something hard.
“What’s this?” Naomi spat it out.
A brooch was wrapped inside the clump.
Naomi suddenly came to a realization. “Did you ask someone to put this inside?” she asked.
Culver was a little embarrassed as he retorted, “Why would I do such a silly thing?”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
The manager next to him was rendered speechless. He thought to himself, “Other than you, who else would do this?”
Naomi wanted to laugh, but Culver glared at her.
“Silly woman, how dare you laugh at me?”
“I’m not laughing at you!” Naomi cleared her throat and took out the brooch. It was a simple brooch and it was incredibly beautiful.
“Thank you! However, this is too expensive. I can’t accept this gift!”
Culver frowned, took it, and threw it outside the window.
Naomi was surprised, “What are you doing? Why did you throw it away?”
“That item’s a failure since it wasn’t accepted. There’s no need to keep it!”
“What a freak!”
Naomi hurriedly went downstairs to pick it up, but she was once again pulled back by Culver.
“I thought you didn’t like it?”
“Did I say that? I only said that it was too expensive.”
“So what if it is? You’re worth it!”
Naomi did not know what to say. He spoke in a casual tone, but she knew that he was being serious.
“Then, I’d better pick it up.”
“Don’t go! I didn’t throw it out at all.”
Culver opened his palm. The brooch was still in his hand. He smiled slyly as he said, “I just threw a spoon!”
It was the manager’s turn to be anxious. The tableware was specially used to serve VIPs. They were incredibly expensive!
“Pffft…” Naomi really could not help but laugh.
The freak could be very entertaining at times!
When Culver saw her smile, he placed the brooch into her hand.
“Keep it well and don’t lose it. It shouldn’t leave your side, even for a second!”
Naomi was dumbfounded again, “It’s just a brooch. Do I have to sleep with it?”
“Why not? Not just with the brooch, but with me too!”
Naomi was rendered speechless.
Just as she was about to ask if he was flirting with her, she looked up and saw that Culver’s ears had reddened. She did not expect him to be so pure-hearted in love.
She kept her mouth shut.
After Naomi put the brooch away, she let out a deep breath. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a figure walking past.
It was none other than a member of the Olsen family.
After getting interrupted by Culver, she almost forgot that Marilyn was still waiting for her to send Culver to the blind date.
All of a sudden, the brooch in her pocket felt cold.
The coolness spread to her body and she felt a little uncomfortable.
She stood up shyly, saying, “I-I’m going to the washroom.”
Without hesitation, Culver called the manager again and ordered, “Bring me the red wine.”
Naomi wanted to say that there was no need for that, but she was afraid that she would expose the truth, therefore she pretended to hear nothing. She went straight to the washroom.
After she closed the washroom door, she calmed herself down for a while, and then took out the brooch in her pocket and looked at it carefully.
At first glance, it looked simple and luxurious. However, after looking at it carefully, she could see something strange about it.
Culver had asked someone to carve two extremely miniscule figurines inside. If she did not look carefully at it, she really would not have noticed them.
Even though it was small, the characteristics were clear, and one could tell at a glance that it was her together with him. The two of them sat side by side, and the scene looked extremely heart-warming.
Naomi’s fingers slightly tightened. “Forget it, I’ll find a chance to return this to him in the future!” she thought to herself.
…
As soon as Culver ordered the dishes, he saw a familiar person coming in from the door.
“Mr. Culver, Mrs. Olsen is having dinner over there and she wants to invite you over.”
Culver was stunned. Then, he came back to his senses as if he had remembered something.
“I’m waiting for someone. It’s not convenient for me to go there.”
The subordinate looked at Naomi’s seat.
Then, the subordinate asked in a low voice, “Mrs. Olsen asks if you’re waiting for Miss George. If it’s Miss George, she won’t be coming back!”
Culver’s expression changed slightly. He looked at Naomi’s seat in disbelief.
Then, he stood up and pushed the man away.
“I’ve already said that I don’t need anyone to meddle in my affairs!” With that, he got up and walked out.
…
Naomi stayed in the bathroom for a long time, and then took a serious look at herself.
Her style had always been a little boyish. She was always in casual clothes because she was always training. When she started working, her wardrobe had expanded but she only added work appropriate clothes. She did not have much feminine clothing like dresses and skirts.
Compared to the woman she saw earlier, she suddenly looked forward to seeing herself in a dress.
However, on second thought, she knocked her own head.
What was she thinking? Had she been bewitched by Culver? She was just someone who had been abandoned. What right did she have to be in another relationship?
With a wry smile, she splashed her face with a handful of water.
At that moment, Culver would have already been taken away by Marilyn, right? She could leave.
She opened the bathroom door. As soon as she stepped out, she bumped into a person.
She stepped back in reflex, and quickly apologized.
“I-I’m sorry…”
The next second, the other person’s hand was already pressing on her arm.
“Naomi, you set me up?!”
Naomi was immediately dumbfounded.
“Culver?”
Had he chased after her to the bathroom? Wasn’t he supposed to be invited by Marilyn with a random excuse, and then be trapped inside and be unable to get away?
As it turned out, Naomi was too naive.
How could a smart woman like Marilyn form an alliance with her so easily?
Marilyn knew Culver’s thought process well, and she had been presented with a good opportunity. Of course, she would take the opportunity and get rid of the root of the problem!
“If you have anything to say, let’s talk outside!”
Naomi quickly pushed him away.
Culver’s expression looked quite upset, and he was not willing to back down.
“Answer me! You promised to have a date with me and that you would eat with me. Was all that just part of your scheme?”
“I… ”
Naomi had initially wanted to end the matter in a gentler way, but at the moment, since things had gotten to this point, it seemed that she had no choice but to brace herself to tell the truth.
“Yes!” She took a deep breath and said, “I’m not scheming against you, though. I just want you to let me go.”
“Let you go?”
Culver gritted his teeth, “Is it still because of him? Do you love him that much?”
“No, it’s not!” Naomi pursed her lips, “He’s him, and I’m me! I’m just sick of you! You’re unreasonable, arrogant and you never listen to other people’s opinions! Those reasons are enough for me to leave you a hundred times, right? Why do you drag everyone into your trouble every time?”
Culver sneered, “Is that how you see me? Is that how I am in your heart?”
