That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

Just as they arrived at the entrance of the research institute, they saw Gabriel already counting the medicinal herbs. Beside him stood a slightly overweight man in a suit with a smooth face, and the two seemed to be having a conversation.

The man in the suit had a flattering expression, but Gabriel’s face looked somewhat perfunctory.

Gabriel was always gentle with people, and it was rare for Olivia to see him with such an expression. Puzzled, she walked over.

“Dr. Sutcliffe, I really didn’t mean to. When you called me yesterday, I was busy in a meeting. I was thinking…”

Halfway through his sentence, Gabriel happened to look up and see Olivia approaching. He coldly interrupted the man and introduced, “This is the head of our research institute, Olivia, Dr. Prescott. If you have any issues, you can talk to her.”

The man was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Olivia with great respect. “Dr. Prescott, I am Alf, the manager responsible for medicinal herbs at the Whitaker Group. You can just call me Alf.”

Olivia was also taken aback.

Since he was from the Whitaker Group, what was this all about?

Alf felt bitter inside.

He was clearly a victim in this matter too. If it weren’t for Abigail claiming that these were Isaac’s instructions, he wouldn’t have dared to be so perfunctory with Gabriel. But in the end, he had to take the blame alone.

Yesterday, Isaac ordered him to personally apologize to the people at the research institute. After thinking it over, he decided that making a phone call wouldn’t be as sincere as showing up in person, so he came early this morning with the convoy.

However, he didn’t expect to be given the cold shoulder. Despite his repeated apologies, Gabriel remained indifferent towards him.

He couldn’t possibly say that it was their young lady who instructed him to do this, could he?

Upon hearing that Olivia was the head of the research institute and that she had cured Liam’s illness, Alf’s attitude became even more humble.

Olivia exchanged a glance with Gabriel before nodding distantly at him. “Mr. Shepherd, is there something you needed to discuss by coming here personally?”

If she wasn’t mistaken, this should be the person who had been perfunctory with Gabriel on the phone yesterday.

No wonder Gabriel had given him such a cold reception.

Hearing her tone, Alf felt another wave of bitterness rise in his heart and his face was full of apology. “It’s like this, Dr. Prescott. When Dr. Sutcliffe called me yesterday, I happened to have an urgent meeting. I planned to call him back after the meeting, but then I received a call from Mr. Whitaker asking me to go over immediately. One thing led to another, and it caused such a big misunderstanding…”

Olivia coldly curled her lips. “Mr. Shepherd, are you implying that this is our fault for not being patient enough to wait for your return call?”

Upon hearing this, cold sweat instantly broke out on Alf’s forehead.

He had thought that since Dr. Prescott was a woman, she might be easier to talk to than Gabriel. However, Olivia’s first words directly twisted his meaning and gave him a stern warning.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

“That’s not what I meant…”

The woman in front of him was petite but inexplicably carried a powerful aura that left Alf struggling for words and breaking out in cold sweat.

Olivia stared at him indifferently for a few seconds before extending her hand towards him, slightly retracting her imposing aura. “Since the medicinal herbs have been delivered as agreed, let’s put yesterday’s incident behind us. You are the manager responsible for medicinal herbs at the Whitaker Group, and our cooperation will undoubtedly continue in the future. I hope Mr. Shepherd will take us seriously and avoid such misunderstandings in the future.”
