Chapter 69 We Have an Engagement
“Do you have anything to do with me?”
Elvis looked at her meaningfully and then stepped forward to approach her.
“You are the precious daughter of the Oliver family, but you hid your identity and ran to Nangania to be an unknown actor. I really don’t know what you are thinking.”
Kristen clenched her fists. “What do you want?”
As if seeing through Kristen’s guilty conscience, Elvis said with an evil smile, “I think you must want to keep this secret at this moment, but if you want me to keep it, there must be conditions.”
Kristen knew that He was here to make trouble.
“What are the conditions?”
Elvis was very satisfied with her attitude and said, “Have dinner with me.”
Kristen rejected him without hesitation.
She had already made an appointment with Ethan. If He found out that she had skipped out on dinner with another man, he would definitely be angry.
“No way? Then I can’t keep the secret.”
Kristen kicked him. “How dare you!”
There was an undisguised threat in her tone. Elvis was just joking with her. Seeing that she was really angry, he quickly stopped.
“I’ll definitely keep my mouth. Don’t worry.”
Kristen was still in disbelief. She didn’t believe him until he swore.
“Why are you in Nangania?”
Elvis looked at Kristen and wanted to say that it was because of you, but he was afraid that he was too abrupt to scare her, so he immediately found a reason, “I came to deal with some things. When I knew that you were also in Nangania, I came to have a look.”
“You’ve seen me. Goodbye.”
Kristen waved her hand, but he grabbed her arm.
“Kristen Oliver, do you hate me that much?”
“Stop. My name is Kristen Healey now. Don’t call me that.”
Elvis only replied with an “Ok” and then asked, “Where are you going? Shall I drive you?”
Kristen pointed to the nanny car not far away. “My assistant is still waiting for me.”
“You have to tell me your address. I’ll come to you when I’m done with work.”
Kristen immediately stopped him. “No. You’re like a ticking time bomb to me. We’d better keep our distance.”
Elvis was unhappy when he heard this. “Kristen, we have an engagement.”
A sentence blocked Kristen’s words.
However, Kristen had never approved of this marriage, so she said, “It was decided by the elders of our family. Our marriage will be canceled sooner or later.”
When Elvis heard this, he did not feel well.
“You’ve accepted flowers. Why don’t you admit it?”
Flower?
Kristen thought of the babysbreath flowers that day.
“If I had known that the flower was given by you, I would have thrown it directly to the trash can.”
Elvis was unwilling to blurt out, “Do you hate me so much?”
“It’s not that I hate you, but the marriage is a matter of mutual love. Don’t come looking for me anymore.” With that, Kristen turned and left.
Elvis stood there with a confused face.
He watched Kristen’s figure disappear, but his heart was full of unwillingness. He had searched for her for so long, and he didn’t want to give up just like that.
In the car, Kristen called Mr. Old Oliver and asked, “Grandpa, what is Elvis here?”
When Mr. Old Oliver on the other side of the phone heard this, he knew that the two young people must have met.
Mr. Old Oliver said with a smile, “how’s it going? Elvis has changed a lot in recent years. He is completely in line with current girls’ Aesthetics.”
Kristen felt headache..
“Grandpa, I won’t be with him.”
Mr. Old Oliver just said with a smile, “It doesn’t matter. I won’t force you. Elvis also has work to do in Nangania this time. Get along with him. If you really don’t like him, I will help you cancel the engagement.”
How could Kristen not know it is her grandfather stalling tactics?
She said again, “Grandpa, I just want to film well and be a good actor. I’m not in the mood to get married for the time being.”
“Good. You’ve grown up and have your own ideas. Think whatever you want. I will absolutely not interfere, but Elvis is truly reliable. I only hope that you can give him a fair chance.”
Kristen was speechless.
She roughly understood what Mr. Old Oliver meant. As for Elvis, she would just hide from him.
Kristen arrived at TNK Group and took the elevator to the top floor. Jacob saw her and greeted her respectfully.
“Miss Healey, Mr. Wharton is still in a meeting. Would you like to wait in the lounge?”
With that, he led Kristen to the lounge. She sat on the sofa and started reading a book. She read very seriously and devoted herself to the book. After a while, Ethan ended the meeting and came over.
“Have you waited for a long time?”
Kristen closed the book in her hand and raised her eyes to look at him.
“No, I just arrived for a while.”
Ethan took his coat and said, “Come on, let’s have dinner together.”
They walked side by side. From the back, it seemed that they fit each other very well.
“What do you want to eat?”
Kristen thought about it for a while and said, “I haven’t had hot pot for a long time. Why don’t we go and eat hot pot?”
Ethan raised his eyebrows slightly and thought about the delicious hot pot restaurant nearby.
“Okay, let’s go to eat hot pot.”
The car sped away and stopped in front of a hot pot restaurant. There were a lot of people in this restaurant, but as soon as they arrived, the manager directly took them to a private room.
Kristen ordered a table full of her favorite dishes and ate happily with Ethan. However, She went to the bathroom halfway through the meal and met Taylor.
At this moment, Taylor seemed to have drunk too much, and her face was flushed red. She lay down in front of the sink and kept retching. When she got up, she saw Kristen and immediately became energetic.
” Why are you here?”
Kristen ignored her and was about to leave when Taylor blocked her way.
“What’s wrong? You don’t take people seriously after signing with TNK Group?”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Kristen felt that she was being noisy.
“Get out of the way.”
When Taylor remembered that the humiliation she had suffered during this time was all due to Kristen, a surge of resentment rose from the bottom of her heart.
“Do you want to leave? You have to see if I agree.”
Kristen lost her patience. “What do you want?”
