That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

Two days later, Olivia flew to Sylvania City early in the morning as scheduled.

As Isaac had mentioned, she saw someone holding a sign to welcome her as soon as she landed.

Olivia introduced herself and followed the person out of the airport.

“Our Mr. Shelby has already booked a hotel for you. Would you like me to take you directly to the hotel, or would you prefer to go to the company first?” the driver asked respectfully after they got into the car.

Olivia didn’t have much luggage. After thinking for a moment, she replied, “If Mr. Shelby is available, let’s go to the company first.”

She wanted to handle the business matters first.

The driver agreed and immediately drove towards the company, calling Mr. Shelby on the way to inform him of the situation.

When Olivia arrived at the company, Mr. Shelby was already waiting in his office.

“Dr. Prescott, I’ve heard so much about you.” Mr. Shelby stood up to shake her hand as she entered.

Olivia gracefully extended her hand and greeted him politely.

After a few pleasantries, Olivia got straight to the point. “Mr. Shelby, I’m here today to…”

Before she could finish, Mr. Shelby interrupted her calmly, “I know you’re here to discuss a collaboration. There’s no rush, after all, we’re not the only option.”

Olivia was taken aback, thinking there might be some complication. Hesitantly, she said, “I’ve prepared the cooperation proposal. Would you like to take a look first? We can discuss any issues.”

Mr. Shelby smiled and waved his hand dismissively. “It’s not what you think. Since you were recommended by Mr. Whitaker, we naturally won’t go back on our word. What I mean is that our company is hosting a banquet tonight, and several other company representatives will be attending. If you’re not in a hurry, we could discuss it over dinner?”

Olivia felt relieved but still had some reservations. “I don’t mind rescheduling, but about tonight’s banquet…”

Being new here and without any established relationship with the company, attending the banquet seemed a bit awkward.

Unaware of her thoughts, Mr. Shelby continued his invitation. “Mr. Whitaker mentioned that Dr. Prescott has some international acclaim. Attending our company’s banquet would be an honor for us. The banquet will be attended by many prominent figures in the pharmaceutical industry from across the country. Dr. Prescott might even meet some new partners, making it mutually beneficial for both of us!”

When Isaac recommended Olivia, Mr. Shelby had already done his homework on her background through his connections. He knew about her impressive performance at an academic exchange in Norville. Given that many prominent figures in the pharmaceutical industry would be attending tonight’s event, he believed many would recognize Olivia.

Thus, Mr. Shelby came up with this idea.

Inviting Olivia to the banquet would not only showcase his extensive network but also honor Isaac and Olivia.

Hearing this, Olivia couldn’t refuse any longer and nodded in agreement. “Since Mr. Shelby insists, I will gladly accept your invitation. I’ll bring the documents tonight.”

Mr. Shelby stopped her, “That’s not necessary. We can discuss everything informally tonight, there’s no need for formalities. Since you’re not in a hurry, we can sign the papers tomorrow.”

After a moment’s hesitation, Olivia agreed.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Mr. Shelby informed her of the time and place for the banquet and then had the driver take Olivia to her hotel.
