The Mismatch Was Supposed to End Chapter 2

After driving for a while, the rain was obviously much lighter. Looking at the still gloomy sky outside, I estimated that the rain would get heavier.

Olivia pursed her lips, her eyes fixed on the familiar street, and after a few seconds she said, "After we cross this street, find a place for me to get off, then send Assistant Chen back and you can go home."

Caleb was stunned at first, then when he reacted, he said, "No, no!" in an anxious tone.

Olivia frowned and looked at him with a suspicious look, waiting for his explanation.

Caleb realized very quickly this time that his attitude was wrong, and hurriedly explained: "Miss, I mean you have to go home today. Mr. Leng said he has something to do and asked you to go back today!"

He spoke very quickly, fearing that if he spoke slowly he would be misunderstood as having overstepped his bounds, and afraid of giving Olivia a worse impression.

Riley's dissatisfied look fell on Caleb again. She was very dissatisfied with his noisy behavior, but Olivia's family affairs had nothing to do with her. She sat quietly without saying a word, and was not curious about what happened.

The rain outside had become much lighter. Olivia lowered the car window halfway. Under the collision of heat and water vapor, the smell of the air on the asphalt road made people frown. The air after the rain is not always fresh and pleasant, there is also a pungent fishy smell.

"What's the matter that requires him to go back today? Is he in a hurry?"

The impatient attitude was revealed in his tone without any concealment. Olivia raised his eyes and thought that maybe he really was a person who was not easy to talk to.

The car window went up to the top, and a muffled sound seemed to hit Caleb's heart. He had a bitter face, and an expression that wanted to cry but had no tears. "It's not urgent. I just want you to go back and discuss the marriage together..."

The more Caleb spoke, the quieter his voice became. He was unsure. He hadn't hidden this matter from anyone. Everyone in his family who had some connections knew about it. What's more, they had directly reminded him to bring the person home. Olivia often lived outside and rarely went back obediently.

But this is not surprising. It is uncomfortable to live outside at the age of 27 or 28 and still be controlled by your family.

Olivia brushed off the raindrops on her shoulders, her expression indifferent. She said directly: "No, no, no, no marriage."

Caleb looked embarrassed: "Miss, I..."

"You are my driver now, and I pay your salary. If you understand, please stop the car nearby and let me down." Olivia interrupted what he wanted to say in an unquestionable tone, very impatient.

Caleb's heart was pounding and he slowly slowed down the car. Fortunately, he didn't say that the marriage seemed to have been decided privately, otherwise he might have to change jobs again. He didn't know this new boss very well. He heard from his father that the eldest daughter was an outstanding person with a good temper. Well, he thought so just now, but now he... didn't quite see it.

He hesitated for two seconds, then quickly pulled over. When he heard about salary, he came to his senses. If he took the man back by force, he wouldn't get a salary increase, but he would offend his boss and might lose his job.

Before the car came to a complete stop, Riley retracted her gaze from the window and gave a reasonable suggestion: "It's still raining outside, and there's no umbrella in the car, so why don't you go back first."

She just felt that if she got off the car like this, she would definitely get wet in the rain, and once she got wet, she could take the opportunity to take a sick leave.

day off.

Caleb also wanted to persuade her again. After all, it was a task assigned by the big boss. Although it seemed like a casual mention, he was still a little afraid to go back if he didn't do it well. He took the opportunity to take over the conversation, "Yes, why don't we go back first, and Mr. Leng said that the target this time will be determined according to your preferences."

Olivia stretched out his hand to open the car door, ignoring the drizzle falling overhead, and snorted, "My preference, I said I like beautiful women, and he found one for me?"

Caleb turned around, "This time it's..."

"boom!"

The car door was slammed shut mercilessly.

Caleb swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. He scratched his head in annoyance. If he had known, he would have just said it directly!

This time it’s a beauty! A great beauty!

Olivia trotted into a coffee shop, patted the water droplets on her hair, looked back at the car driving away, then took out her cell phone from her bag, saw the message she had not read more than ten minutes ago, and realized that she had been stood up by a busy man.

She said she stopped here because she really had an appointment with someone. She was coming back from a business trip today and was delayed on the road, so the person she had an appointment with left.

She was not angry, as she was used to the other party's behavior of standing her up at any time. She ordered herself a cup of coffee, sat quietly in the cafe, and was busy replying to other messages. She didn't know how much time had passed, but the coffee in the cup was long gone. After finishing the things in her hands and making another appointment with the other party, Olivia was willing to look up. She slowly raised her eyes and her gaze fell on the bar across the street. She stayed there for a few seconds, then stood up decisively and walked across with her bag.

She seldom comes to bars, and it can be said that she almost never comes to such places.

No one dared to invite her to the bar. She often went to various dinner parties or gatherings.

The atmosphere in the bar was pretty good, not as noisy as she had imagined. Olivia sat at the bar and ordered herself a glass of iced Coke. She was alone outside and didn't want to drink, so she just came to the bar to relax and experience the atmosphere. However, there didn't seem to be anything special about it. The only thing that made her feel uncomfortable was that the air conditioning was set too low and she felt a little cold.

She took a small sip of the ice cola in the cup, propped up her face, looked around, and caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye. She looked carefully and it was quite a coincidence that it was the woman who helped them on the road today. There was also a person sitting opposite her with her back to her, so she couldn't see her face. The beige long skirt she was wearing was very slim-fitting, and it could be seen that she had a good figure.

Josh pushed the wine glass beside him away and tilted his head to listen to Harper introduce the bartender in front of him, who was a college student and worked part-time in a bar.

Harper propped up her chin and looked at the girl with a smile on her face, and said in a very proud tone: "This little sister is pretty, my junior sister."

Josh raised her eyes, a pair of watery eyes, clear and clean, which were incompatible with what she was doing.

Taking in her action of scratching her palm openly when she handed the wine glass to Harper, Josh just said "hmm" lightly, and after responding to Harper, he looked away, pretending that he didn't notice the "wrongness" between the two of them.

Her eyes fell on the hem of her skirt. She had sweated a little today, so she took a shower after returning and changed into a beige short-sleeved slim long skirt. Although she was a little tired after just returning home, she had to adjust to the jet lag, so she didn't think about taking a rest now. This was a good time for her to come and see the bar that Harper had secretly opened when he was "not doing his job" a few years ago. It happened to be near the apartment that Harper arranged for her, and it was only a few minutes' walk from the apartment.

Just as she was thinking about how to find an excuse to leave, Harper suddenly patted her on the shoulder and said, "Xiaoyun is a sophomore in high school at the school you are going to. Maybe you can run into her." As she said that, she raised her chin towards the girl in front of her.

Harper was so enthusiastic in introducing her. Josh pursed her lips and looked up at the bartender named Xiaoyun, who smiled at her politely.

She looked at him calmly for a few times and nodded perfunctorily: "That's indeed a coincidence. Maybe I can meet her at school after the summer vacation." As she finished speaking, her gaze shifted towards her for a moment.

Xing Yunzhi saw her suddenly stand up, and the words she wanted to respond were stuck in her throat. Josh smiled faintly: "I'm going to the bathroom. I just spilled some wine on my hands."

She gently shook off the wine that had spilled on her fingers when she accidentally shook the glass, waited for the two of them to nod, turned around and left. The people behind her continued chatting, and Josh walked slowly.

"hiss!"

The cold cola all poured over his body, and a few half-melted ice cubes rolled past his feet. The cold cola seeped into the thin fabric of his clothes, irritating the skin on his chest and waist. Olivia lowered his head, opened his mouth slightly, and looked at his hand holding the cup frozen in mid-air in surprise. He was stunned for two seconds. He just couldn't stand the air conditioning and was planning to sit in another seat. Why was he so unlucky!

"I..."

"Oh... sorry..."

A soft apology was heard in front of him, with a hint of helplessness in the tone of apology. Olivia blinked. When he was bumped into, he saw the beige dress she was wearing. The displeasure in her eyes gradually disappeared after she apologized. The voice sounded gentle, yet inexplicably familiar.

Olivia took a deep breath, then sighed, pulled the corner of her mouth, put down her hand that was frozen in mid-air, pursed her lips and looked helpless. She remembered the man's clothes. She had originally found the location by circling around them. She was afraid that if she met him again, she would not know what to say and would be embarrassed. She planned to reduce unnecessary socializing, but she didn't expect that she would bump into him even after taking a detour, and bump into him hard.

I really don’t know whether to say this is a coincidence or that I’m just in retrograde today.

She raised her head slowly, intending to just say something perfunctory and leave, but the beautiful and shocking face in front of her blocked the words "It's okay" that she wanted to say in her throat. She stared at her face in a daze and forgot to speak for a moment.

This is a bit too much of a coincidence...

There was obvious hesitation on the other person's face, and he looked at her seriously, as if he was trying hard to recall something.

Olivia pursed her lips, suspecting that she might ask, "Have we met somewhere before?" Although asking this question sounded a bit like chatting her up, she would actually say yes, she had met her before.

Josh smiled: "Long time no see."

It was not what Olivia thought. She was surprised that the other party still remembered her, but also not so surprised.

"You look a little different." Josh took two tissues from the bar and gave them to her. They were useless for wiping clothes, but they could be used to wipe the Coke off hands.

The tone was very calm. Olivia thought that such a sudden farewell should have shown some surprise or astonishment, but the other party seemed to be talking about herself very calmly, saying that she was different, and there was no emotion in her tone.

Olivia was slightly dazed. They were actually not very familiar with each other.
