Spoiled by Mr. Russell

Chapter 44

Anthony opened the door and peeked his head in, “Mr. Hall, Olivia Hart is here.”

“Let her in.” Nathaniel nodded.

Olivia put away her phone awkwardly and entered the office with a forced smile. ‘Forget it. It‘s better to check the situation first before telling Lily.‘

“M–Mr. Hall.” After addressing Nathaniel rather stiffly, Olivia stood by the side silently while waiting for him to speak. To be honest, Olivia did not like Nathaniel very much. She followed Lily for quite some time as the duo buried themselves with work in the laboratory.

Olivia had always thought of herself as diligent, as she was one of the most hardworking students during her school days. Only after following Lily did Olivia find someone as hardworking as her. The duo would be so engrossed with lab work that they sometimes forgot to eat and sleep. Olivia had even lost count of times when she helplessly fell asleep in the laboratory. Even when she woke up, she saw Lily still recording, analyzing, and researching data. Olivia genuinely admired Lily for that. Lily always worked hard, but not for fame or profit. She gave up honor and glory for her love for Nathaniel. However, that sc*mbag discredited the woman who worked so hard for him. Olivia felt she was polite enough to hold back and not curse at Nathaniel.

“Liv, did you just get back from your vacation? How was it? Did you have fun?” Nathaniel‘s politeness seemed too hypocritical.

Olivia squeezed a smile and said, “Well, my vacation is on hold now. Aren‘t you the one who wanted me to return as soon as possible, sir? According to my plans, I should still have half a day off.” Nathaniel frowned at Olivia‘s rebuttal but replied softly, “Indeed, we appreciate your hard work. An

unexpected incident happened, so I had to call you for help. I will triple your leave once we‘ve settled this matter.”

“R– Really? You‘d triple my leave?!” Olivia raised her eyebrows in disbelief. “Of course! Don‘t worry about it! However, you will need to do me a small favor.” Nathaniel said politely.

Melanie, beside him, rolled her eyes. She was lying on the oversized ergonomic chair beside the desk with her legs crossed. As she swayed her legs, the chair gently followed suit with her movements. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Olivia kept staring at Nathaniel and disregarded Melanie. However, she laughed when she heard Nathaniel‘s words. “You must be joking, Mr. Hall. I‘m just a mere lab assistant compared to you, so how could I possibly help you?” She said sarcastically.

No one knew if Nathaniel did not hear what Olivia said or if he simply pretended not to understand her words. He said, “Oh, you can absolutely help, trust me. You‘re the only one who can.”

“What do you mean, Mr. Hall?”

“Show up and testify.” “T–Testify?”

“Yes, you‘ve also worked on MN Inc.‘s perfumes in recent years, and I know you‘ve done excellent work. When this case is over, I will grant you a promotion.” Nathaniel nodded vigorously. “Thank you, Mr. Hall,” Olivia replied insincerely. She returned to the topic and asked, “ Although you have not told me what you want me to testify for.”

“I want you to testify that Melanie is MN Inc.‘s true perfumer and that you two were the ones who formulated and developed our recent best–selling products.” Olivia cursed Nathaniel inwardly and asked innocently, “Then, what about Lily?”
