That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

Because she had gone to bed quite late the previous night, Olivia was sleeping soundly.

The next morning, Olivia was awakened by the ringing of the phone.

When she first woke up, she was still a bit groggy. She fumbled around the bedside for a while before finding the source of the noise.

Glancing at the caller ID, Olivia answered the phone in a daze.

On the other end, Gabriel’s voice sounded urgent, “Dr. Prescott, something has happened.”

Olivia instantly became alert and sat up in bed, her voice still a bit hoarse, “What happened?”

“We have a batch of medicinal herbs that was supposed to arrive this morning, but it’s already this late and there’s no sign of them,” Gabriel said with a grim expression.

The suppliers they worked with were usually very punctual. In the past, if they were told the herbs would arrive in the morning, they would receive them as soon as they started work. But today, there had been a significant delay.

If these herbs didn’t arrive on time, many projects would have to be put on hold within a couple of days, delaying research progress and causing financial losses for the institute.

Olivia’s expression turned serious, “Have you called the suppliers?”

As she spoke, she put the call on speakerphone and began her morning routine while listening to Gabriel’s response.

“I did. Some didn’t answer at all, and those who did were vague and didn’t give us a definite reply,” Gabriel said, feeling frustrated.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

If those suppliers had outright said they didn’t want to cooperate anymore, it would have been easier. But they were all being evasive, making it difficult for him to seek other suppliers.

Olivia felt a sinking feeling in her heart. She changed her clothes and replied, “Got it. I’ll be there right away.”

She hung up the phone.

When she went downstairs, her two children were already sitting at the dining table.

Ethan had fully recovered and could go to kindergarten today.

Both children were eager to go to kindergarten and see Sophia.

Seeing Olivia come down, the children looked at her expectantly, thinking she would take them to kindergarten.

Olivia noticed their anticipation and apologized, “Something came up at the institute. Mommy needs to go there quickly. Let Emily take you.”

Although disappointed, the children were used to their mommy being busy with work. They nodded obediently and reminded her, “Mommy, be careful on the road.”

Olivia agreed and left in a rush without waiting for their response.

Last night, she had planned to hand over her work to Gabriel during this period and then take her children abroad.

She believed she had solved many problems for the institute since returning and had taught the researchers many advanced techniques, fulfilling her teacher’s expectations.

But she hadn’t expected such an incident just as she had everything planned out!

Olivia drove swiftly.

When she arrived at the institute, Gabriel was already waiting at the entrance.

“Do the researchers know?” Olivia asked as she walked to his side, frowning.

Gabriel shook his head, “I haven’t told them yet. I didn’t want everyone to worry.”

Hearing this, Olivia breathed a slight sigh of relief, “Don’t tell them yet. Let’s try to figure something out first. Tell me the details.”

Gabriel agreed.

The two talked as they walked into Olivia’s office.
