Humdrum days flew through the fingers like water.
Olivia went to work in the new company. The boss saw her excellent appearance and directly made her an assistant. Don't get the boss wrong, the boss of this company was not a man, but a middle-aged woman. The boss was very tough. She divorced her husband a few years ago and divided a sum of property. She started her old business. She had a strong ability to work. Within a few years, the company's business was booming.
From worker to the assistant, the salary was only $100 more, but Olivia was already satisfied.
When she went out with the boss, she met quite many bosses who were fat and interested in her, but not to mention that Olivia was unwilling, even the female boss gave her all kinds of exhortations to tell her not to go the wrong way.
Olivia had no ambition to marry into a wealthy family, let alone to be a mistress for these old men who were old enough to be her father.
She just wanted to work hard, and after paying off her grandfather's and father's debts, she would like to save money to buy a house downtown, Olivia had no other thoughts at all.
She didn't even have the intention of finding a partner, let alone trying to find ways to marry a rich man.
During this period of time, the relationship between Olivia and Jasmine has become very good. In fact, Oli did not fawn on her too much, but it was undeniable that she had more contact with her than before. Jasmine also told her more than once not to have a close relationship with those rich people. ‘The world of the rich was different from ours. Don't plant yourself in it.’
Jasmine was worthy of being a secretary to the CEO and shared with her a lot of valuable ways in her work, and now her boss was more and more satisfied with her.
The only drawback was that the boss wanted to introduce her unmarried nephew to her.
These days, Jasmine liked cakes and desserts very much, because she had a good relationship with Olivia, and she was not shy about her. She asked Olivia to go to the cake shop where she used to go several times.
Olivia’s social places with her boss were basically gathered in the city center, as long as she went to socialize, she would go to the cake shop to bring a cake to Jasmine.
Today was the same, the boss did not hire a driver, after all, the scale of the company was not very large. Olivia took a driver's license in college, but she hasn’t driven a car since, and her boss had to drink a few glasses of wine. Over time, Olivia became a part-time driver.
Although the boss’s Toyota has been scraped several times by Olivia, she was very kind and gave Olivia a raise in salary as a reward for being a driver.
The boss was lying in the back seat. Olivia got out of the car and went to the cake shop to buy a cake for Jasmine.
To Olivia's surprise, he ran into Jacob in this store.
After all, Jacob was not a star, ordinary people really did not recognize him, but Olivia watched the love and hatred between him and Jasmine for so long in her dream, and she was too familiar with the man's appearance.
Olivia dared not reveal, no matter what the plot of the novel was, no matter how rich Jacob was, now she was a friend of Jasmine since she had no plan to let Jacob find it, she couldn’t take the initiative to do anything.
There was also a sofa booth in the cake shop, and Jacob sat alone with a blueberry mousse cake on the table.
‘This is Jasmine's favorite flavor.’
In order not to give herself away, Oli bought a blueberry mousse and a copy of Tira Misu.
When leaving the cake shop, she looked at the location of Jacob and suddenly realized that her actions were somewhat superfluous. Jacob was immersed in his own world and wouldn’t notice her, a passer-by.
Olivia finally understood why Jasmine lived in their community.
No one could have imagined that Jasmine wanted to leave, but she still stayed in the city. They did not expect that Jasmine, who took 5 million dollars, would live here with a rent of more than $200 a month. In this way, it would be much more convenient for Jasmine to do anything.
‘It's just that in the world of fiction, isn't it easy for the hero to find the heroine?
But since the plot does not allow the hero to find the heroine, then he can not find even if he has the ability to do so.’
Jasmine was eating blueberry mousse cake and she was happy, but it wasn't long before she frowned.
"What's the matter?" Asked Olivia.
Jas's due date was early next month, but generally speaking, there were not so many babies born on time. Olivia saw that her expression was wrong and immediately became nervous.
"Nothing."
Jasmine smiled at her and said, "it's just false contractions."
Olivia knew that she would give birth to a chubby son, the future heir of Ray. In the novel, he was so smart that he often fought wits with his father for his mother’s love.
From the point of view of outsiders, Jasmine was really Mary Sue. ‘Can ordinary people encounter this kind of plot?
I don’t believe so.
The president of the big group loved her dearly. Her son was so smart and lovely that she didn't even need to worry about it. If Jasmine had gone abroad with her son at that time, she might have met another man who was affectionately waiting for her, however…’
"Jas, why did you come here?" Asked Olivia curiously.
Jasmine was very sincere to people. Although she didn't tell the whole story, except that the father of her child was Jacob, she almost told her other backgrounds.
Olivia also told Jasmine sincerely that she would never tell anyone.
Another man was generally rich and handsome, how could this kind of person appear here. So, Jasmine had nothing but Grandma Gill, who took good care of her, and Olivia, who chatted with her.
Jasmine gently stroked her high and bulging abdomen and whispered, "there are always many places to spend money in the future. It doesn't matter if I live simply, and I think it's very nice here. You and Grandma Gill are both the best and best people I've ever met in the world."
"It would have been better for you to go abroad," Olivia said so.
During this period, she also read several novels about such plots, and the heroines basically went abroad.
Jasmine looked at Olivia in surprise. "I don't have a green card, and I'm not from there. At most, I have a tourist visa. My time is limited. If I'm not familiar with the land, why should I go abroad?"
Olivia: "…."
‘It’s true.’
"Oli," Jasmine suddenly called her and looked at her with a smile. "how about you be the godmother of my baby when my baby is born?"
Olivia blinked and couldn't believe what she heard.
‘The baby's godmother?
What does this mean, that the future heir of Ray's Group is her godson?
Just being a good friend of the president's wife is more than she expected in her life, and now she is going to be a future boss's godson?’
"Oli, will you?"
Olivia nodded quickly. "Yes!"
Although her dealings with Jasmine may be mixed with tricks at first, Olivia was not a crafty person. She would be sincere to anyone who was sincere to her. Jasmine sincerely regarded her as a good friend. She would also treat Jasmine well, including the baby in her belly.
When Jasmine went out from 202 and got home, only half an hour later, the cell phone rang. It was Jasmine.
She had doubts in her heart. ‘Could something have happened to her?’
When she picked up the phone, she heard Jasmine gasping, saying that her water broke and she was probably going to have a baby.
It was the first time that Olivia had experienced such a thing. She hastened to call up her sleeping grandmother and came to 202. She was so flustered that she didn't know what to do.
Jasmine was still in labor pains at the moment, not as shown in the TV series, on the contrary, she was still very calm, "Oli, call a taxi, and prepare the waiting bag I prepared before, please take care of the baby and me."
Jasmine can still walk at this time, but it was very difficult. Olivia was holding the bag and holding her.
When they got to the first floor, they happened to meet the tenant in the basement.
It was raining heavily on the typhoon day, and it was hard to get a taxi. Olivia was out of his mind, but she had to cheer up.
Granny Gill, who knew the tenant well, shouted, "Steph, are you available now?"
The tenant named Stephen knew what was going on as soon as he looked at Jasmine.
"Are you going to the hospital?"
Stephen's voice was low, magnetic, and inexplicably beautiful. He glanced at Olivia and said, "Miss Gill, give me your umbrella and I'll call a taxi outside."
It was raining heavily at this time, so of course, they couldn't let a pregnant woman go out in the rain to stop the car.
Olivia hurriedly handed him the umbrella, and Stephen rushed out with the umbrella.
There were still many kind-hearted people these days. Although Stephen didn't get a taxi, a man running a private car in the community heard that Grandma Gill's tenant was going to have a baby, he immediately came with Stephen and rushed to the hospital with them.
After the man who ran the private car took them to the hospital, he went out for business again.
Stephen, Olivia, and Granny Gill accompanied Jasmine.
Olivia heard that Stephen's stomach was growling with hunger. After waiting for a while, she got up and pretended to inadvertently say, "I don't know how long I have to wait. I'm going to buy something to eat. Jas also has to eat something, otherwise, she won't have the strength. What would you like to eat, Stephen? It's been a hard day for you, too. "
Stephen glanced at her. "Everything will be ok."
"How about I buy you a hamburger?"
Stephen tried his best to suppress the secretion of saliva and nodded slowly, "OK, thank you."
Stephen James was Steph’s full name, and Olivia still remembered the scene when she met him for the first time.He carried a guitar and did not say much. The rent was relatively cheap. Now the houses in the regular community were basically three-pay-one, while here was different. Generally, it was a bet-one-pay-one, and the person with household appliances was two-pay-one, so people who were short of money would first choose to settle in the village.There was only one bed in the basement and there were no other household appliances. Stephen gave her 200 dollars in cash at that time. And she noticed that after paying the deposit and rent, he had only some change in his wallet, the largest of which was 10.Even the amiable Granny Gill did not like to pry into other people's affairs, so up to now, Olivia did not know what Stephen’s job was.He seemed to have a hard time. She saw him several times, and he was always carrying a plastic bag full of
King was also a legendary figure. He didn't want to study anymore when he was in junior high school, but Grandma Gill and the headteacher at that time repeatedly persuaded him so that he was willing to go to a high school and spent three years in high school. He thought he would be liberated, but Grandma Gill advised him to go to a junior college. King used to start fooling around at school. He told Grandma Gill that he wanted to gang up with bludgers, so what was the use of studying in a college? However, Grandma Gill told him that if he had no education, no diploma, and no knowledge, even if he went out to muddle along, he would be an errand boy. King was so persuaded, and at least got a junior college diploma. Later, Granny Gill mentioned this to Olivia. She originally wanted King to study hard and find a real job in the future, but she knew King was in a rebellious period, so she said that to inspire him. Unexpectedly, King was sti
Olivia and her grandma had a common advantage, that is, no matter how curious they were about others, they would never ask questions as long as they were not mentioned on their own initiative.Just like now, Olivia was really curious about who Stephen was, what kind of work he did, and why he could make himself so miserable. After all, even if he worked as a dishwasher in a restaurant, he won't let himself be so hungry.He had hands and feet, and he was handsome. In fact, it was easy to find a job, at least to support himself.However, no matter how curious Olivia was, she didn't want to ask him.After all, there were no relatives, it was only the relationship between the landlord and the tenant.After stuffing crabs and fruit to Stephen, Olivia had no reason to stay at the door all the time.Just as Olivia was about to leave, Stephen stopped her and hesitated, and asked, "How is Miss Smith's child now?"That day he stayed until he co
Olivia felt very confused because the hero of the story she read was Stephen, who lived in the basement.According to the development of the plot, before next year, he would take over to shoot an online drama. The production cycle of the online drama was not long. It can be said that this online drama was an important turning point in Stephen's life. First of all, he got a sum of money that can be used for his daily expenses for a long time. Secondly, it would be broadcast on a certain platform next year. Finally, this online drama was very popular with netizens.The score of the drama was more than that of many first-tier TV dramas.This article did not focus on the love line of the hero, but a woman who did not appear was mentioned frequently. When Stephen was popular for a long time, there was no rumor of an affair. Some people said that before Stephen officially made his debut, he had a girlfriend, who was also his first girlfriend, and he never gave her up,
Unlike Jasmine, Stephen always felt that there were not more good people than bad people in this world. There were not many good guys or bad people in this world. There were more indifferent people in the world, walking in gray areas, neither good nor bad. They were stingy to release goodwill to others, or when others touch their interests, they were even worse than bad guys.However, the grandma and granddaughter he met were an exception.They were really good people.Stephen believed that their life was not so easy, but whether it was Grandma Gill or Olivia in front of him, they all had a soft heart, just like the dumplings in the late autumn night. He was holding this lunchbox and could feel a deep warmth.Of course, he also had self-esteem, which made it impossible for him to ask his parents for money to tide over the difficulties, and he could not accept the kindness of his friends to invite him to stay at home for a period of time. However, it was v
Many people came to the village to rent a house, but there were also many houses here. Since the original tenant moved out, some people have come to see the house one after another.There were two rooms on the third floor, both of which have two bedrooms and one living room. Olivia lived in one with her grandmother, and the other was for rent, which has not yet been rented.However, Granny Gill and Olivia were not in a hurry. They have been landlords for many years. The population of this city was increasing, and not everyone could afford to rent a house in the city. Even if some people could afford to rent, they were not willing to spend too much on rent. So the houses in the village were quite popular.Olivia had no activities on weekends and would take care of Michael with Jasmine. The two were now good friends. Olivia also liked him very much, so she often came to accompany her. Sometimes she even spent the night with her.The baby has now formed a go
This move of Stephen confused Olivia. Even if she wanted to ask something, he had already gone downstairs and went back to his room.Granny Gill went to bed a long time ago. Now she got up and went to the bathroom. When she saw her granddaughter standing in the living room, she asked, "what's the matter?"Olivia took out the packing boxes. There were four of them, which carried some weight.The small one had a bird's nest.The other three big ones had lobster, salt and pepper mantis shrimp, and abalone in. Granny Gill froze at the seafood on the table and hurriedly asked, "who gave them to you?""It's Stephen. He said that he was invited to a dinner and packed them for us. "Olivia couldn't help laughing when she reacted. Stephen must be a little embarrassed that she had sent him food a few times before, but he didn't have any money at the moment. He was still a poor young man. After a seafood meal, he wanted to pack up some delicious food a
Stephen was really dumbfounded right now. ‘The man in front of him said everything, can he still argue, saying that he has no meaning in that regard to Olivia and that he mopped the floor and dumped the trash because he wanted to repay her and her grandma?’ In Stephen’s life, from the beginning of his contact with music, his dream and his life were focused on music, there was no girl or anything. He did not think about it, it was not that no girl has asked him out. But he declined them all. ‘What is this now? He didn't say anything.’ Tim and Stephen actually had nothing to talk about. He gave up Olivia with a lot of determination. He originally thought that although ‘he was not matched with Olivia, he had a sincere heart like gold. Now Well, someone is more sincere and more diligent than him. Does he have any advantages? No more. In addition, Olivia stayed indifferent to him during this period. He knew that Olivia still saved him face. After a
As the Spring Festival approached, it seemed that every tenant was very happy, and the building was brimming with joy. When Olivia was cleaning up the garbage, she found that the corridor was much cleaner. Most of the tenants had already bought tickets to go home and went back to reunite with their families. Coincidentally, in the last few days, only Emily and Jack next door, and Jasmine, and Stephen, who lived in the basement, were left. Little Michael was sleeping soundly at this time, so Jasmine had time to help Granny Gill make dumplings. Granny Gill asked with concern, "everyone else has gone back for the Spring Festival. Do you have no relatives?" Their relationship was already very good, so they could talk about private questions. Jasmine said with a smile, "I have relatives, but I think they are not close. My father died a long time ago, and my grandparents thought that my mother had killed their son and had always been very ba
Emily came back in the afternoon. When she came to Olivia’s house, she didn't find Jack put on new clothes. Olivia found that she had been consciously ignoring her son. Olivia tried to talk to her before, but Emily was very resistant, and Olivia had no choice but to give up. Perhaps for Emily, there was also an unfavorable past. "Thank you so much." Emily was probably in a good mood. She bought a few boxes of freshly baked egg tarts and gave Olivia two boxes. "Actually, just leave the kid freezing outside for one night, he will learn his lesson and dare to go out without a key. Olivia, do you think my shoes look good?" She began to show Olivia her new shoes. Olivia nodded honestly, "It looks pretty, but on such a cold day, wouldn't it be cold for you to wear high heels?" She even felt cold at home and had long taken out the cotton shoes that grandma had made for her before and put on them. "It takes a price to be beautiful." Emily simp
Olivia reluctantly returned to the room. Jackie was sitting on the sofa with a well-behaved look. He saw her come in. He said very calmly: "Miss Gill, you should have the key. Please open the door for me. I'll just go back to sleep. It's okay."His tone and expression really didn't look like a four or five-year-old child.If Olivia didn’t know, it was okay. Now she knew that this was the case. Whether as a neighbor or as a landlord, she couldn’t let such a small child stay at home alone for one night. If something really happened, what should she do?Olivia sat next to him patiently and said, "Your mother asked you to sleep in my house for one night, do you mind?"Jack lowered his head and played with his fingers, "It's sister, you want me to sleep here for one night, right?"Olivia: "..."‘He is still so young, is his ability of expression and understanding so strong?’"Well, it is very dangerous for a child t
Time passed quickly, and it was already cold winter unknowingly. Olivia, who was afraid of the coldness, didn’t need Grandma Gill’s repeated instructions and has already consciously put on long trousers. It even began to rain, and it was cold to the bone. Olivia was going to attend the annual meeting today, not only that, but she also assumed the role of host. "I don't want to be a host at all." Olivia was lying on Jasmine's bed with a look of lovelessness, "I have stage phobia, really, I’ll feel deadly embarrassed." Jasmine was looking for something through the boxes and cabinets. She replied when she heard the words: "Then you can tell your boss your thought." "There are not many female colleagues in our company. If I am not a host, I will perform a show. After thinking about it, I should be the host. At least I don't have to dance in front of so many people." "Don't waste your money on buying dresses." Jasmine spent a long time looking for
Miss Green exploded as soon as she heard this, "What do you mean? Do you think I really want to take him? Without him, I don't know how much better my life would be. Seriously, I am the one who most wants him to be abducted by human traffickers!" Olivia & Stephen: "…………" She hurriedly glanced at the little boy on the side and saw that there was no emotion on his face, and she was relaxed but still felt frightened. Children were actually very sensitive. Hearing these kinds of words from his mother, it was impossible not to be hurt and sad, but he had no reaction at all, which meant that such verbal injuries were already commonplace for him. Although there were only two people in her family, Olivia’s childhood was very happy. Although her parents were very irresponsible and ran away directly with their money, she remembered that both her father and mother liked her very much. When they were still at home, they always cared for her. Maybe they loved
