That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

Chapter 298: Let Me Take You Home



At 8 PM, Olivia went to Wangjiang Pavilion with her colleagues from the research institute.

Upon arriving at the private room, everyone raised their glasses to toast Olivia.

“Since Dr. Prescott joined our institute, she has not only helped us solve major issues with medicinal materials but also led us through numerous projects. The institute’s success today is all thanks to Dr. Prescott!”

“I almost thought we couldn’t complete this project, but thanks to Dr. Prescott’s exceptional skills and bravery, we did it! Dr. Prescott is not only beautiful but also incredibly capable-truly enviable!”

One compliment after another echoed in Olivia’s ears.

Olivia smiled gracefully and stood up to toast everyone back. “It’s what I should do. Instead, I should thank you all for trusting me and cooperating with my work.”

When she returned to her home country, she had speculated about the state of domestic research institutes and was prepared for potential difficulties.

To her surprise, everything went smoothly.

After she finished speaking, someone joked, “When we heard you were coming, Dr. Sutcliffe said so many good things about you that we were all in awe. After meeting you in person, who wouldn’t be convinced?”

Hearing this, Gabriel’s expression changed slightly but quickly returned to normal. He nonchalantly raised his glass to Olivia. “I was just telling the truth.”Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

With that, he tilted his head back and drank it all in one go.

Olivia vaguely felt something was off but couldn’t pinpoint what it was. The banter from everyone quickly made her forget her doubts.

Gabriel observed her expression out of the corner of his eye and felt relieved when he saw she hadn’t noticed anything.

Although he liked Olivia, he knew he still had a long way to go compared to her.

So he planned to keep his feelings hidden until the day he could surpass Olivia and protect her before confessing.

The dinner ended around 10 PM.

Everyone was in high spirits, and Olivia had blended in well with them. The meal was very enjoyable, and even Olivia felt slightly tipsy.

During dinner, she had almost accepted every drink offered to her and didn’t know how much alcohol she had consumed.

When she left the private room, she still felt a bit dizzy.

“Let me take you home,” Gabriel said, concerned about her condition.

Olivia, feeling a headache from the alcohol, frowned slightly. “No need. It’s late; everyone should head home early.”

Without waiting for Gabriel to respond, she raised her voice to bid everyone farewell and turned to walk towards the exit.

Stepping out of the hotel, she realized it was raining heavily outside, and many people were standing at the entrance to avoid the rain.

Olivia didn’t have an umbrella and couldn’t drive herself home, so she stayed at the hotel entrance and ordered a ride service online.

It seemed everyone at the entrance had the same idea as her; she waited for a long time without anyone accepting her request.

Just as she was about to cancel and call Isabelle to pick her up, a familiar voice sounded in her ear.

“Mr. Leer, it’s raining outside. I have an umbrella and am waiting for you at the hotel entrance,” Nathan said respectfully into his phone, holding a black umbrella.

When Olivia looked over, he also glanced her way and instinctively greeted her, “Miss Prescott.”

At that moment, there was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone.

Olivia’s expression changed slightly, knowing that this greeting must have reached the ears of the person on the other end.
