Chapter 2862: Chapter 2871: Unknowingly Chatted with Her on the Phone for Half an Hour
Her last line was a joke.
Unexpectedly, Adam Sinclair took it seriously. His thin lips brushed against hers as he interrupted her directly, "You still have me; you won’t be so poor that you can’t afford food."
Olivia Lewis was taken aback for a moment, recalling Lydia Bell’s advice that a man shouldn’t feel like you don’t care about him for too long. She raised an eyebrow, her long, seductive eyes blinking as she thought that such a clingy attitude didn’t suit her, "That’s right, I still have my Investor."
Adam’s lips curled up just as he heard her mischievous next line, "If worst comes to worst, we can eat dog meat."
Dog meat!
Adam’s chest suddenly felt blocked, and he almost spat out blood in exasperation at her words.
"Recently, Investor seems to be getting fatter again. Why do I feel like it’s about to turn into a pig? No normal golden retriever is as big as it is. Could it be a mix of golden retriever and malamute?" Olivia’s seductive voice held a touch of melancholy, as if all her attention was truly on the dog.
Adam’s handsome face darkened, "Didn’t the people at the pet store give you a pedigree certificate when you bought it?"
Olivia rolled her eyes playfully, "Who told you that I bought Investor?"
"Hmm?"
"It was a prop from a film I was in. In the story, the female lead has an argument with the male lead and leaves home impulsively. She meets a stray golden retriever on the street and recalls the early days of their relationship with the dog by her side. She only parts with the dog when the male lead comes to pick her up. That film flopped because the plot was too melodramatic and the characters were too pretentious. You probably haven’t heard of it. Investor was the prop dog from the film. The field service had casually adopted this little golden retriever from a stray dog shelter. It was free, okay?"
At that time, she overheard the field service chatting about throwing the dog away after filming, and she took in the little golden retriever out of compassion.
That’s now her mighty and majestic Investor.
"How would a free dog have a pedigree certificate?"
Seriously, rich people can be so extravagant, needing pedigree certificates for anything they raise.
She seriously doubted whether those wealthy people who liked raising exotic pets would need an expert to issue a pure wild, never-grazed pedigree certificate if they kept a leopard.
She imagined what such a ridiculous certificate would look like and found it inexplicably funny, letting out a chuckle.
Although Adam didn’t know what she was laughing about, he could tell her mood was much better, and her previously gloomy mood had lightened considerably.
He glanced at the time, realizing he had been on the phone with her for over half an hour.
With so many people waiting for him in the office, if he continued chatting, he wouldn’t get any work done today.
"About your manager’s matter, just do as you think fit. If you’re bored, give Bobby a call; he should be up by now. Have Scott Harris send him over to keep you company. I’m heading to work; I’ll come to the hospital as soon as I’m done."
Olivia also realized she had been talking too long, quickly saying, "OK, get to work. I’ll catch some more sleep too."
"Bye."
"Bye-bye-bye."
Olivia hung up first.
Adam listened to the busy signal on the phone before reluctantly putting it down, his lips slightly upturned. The air in the office seemed to freshen up considerably.
The few people waiting in the office, legs numb, all sensed his good mood.
It seemed the call just now was from the future boss lady. It was the first time they’d seen President Sinclair smiling so genuinely and gently; only the future boss lady could have such charm!
