Olivia thought she wasn’t good at math. The calculations Emily had just done weren't that complicated, but why was she only now getting it? Emily continued, "And have you noticed that every time you and Lucas get close, Allen quickly calls you away?" Olivia frowned, looking annoyed. "He just wants me to work more." "But why doesn't he call anyone else, only you? Even if he needs someone to work, isn’t Amanda more capable?" "Emily, I’m a bit slow," Olivia scratched her head, holding Emily’s hand. "Are you saying Allen Parker is actually nice to me?" Emily nodded. "Of course he is. I see it clearly from the side." Olivia still didn’t believe it. "But... he's so annoying..." "What do you find annoying about him?" "For example, he deducts my pay and has kept me on an intern salary for a long time." Emily nodded, speaking gently, "But if he had offered you a really high salary right from the start, say ten thousand dollars a month, would you have dared to take it?" Olivia shook her head like a rattle. "No way. But he could have made me a permanent employee and given me a proper salary!" "If you earned enough money, would you still go to him?" Emily asked. "What?" "He wants you to seek him out, to talk to him more." Olivia's mouth twitched. "…Really?" Emily held out her hand. "Give me your phone." "Oh." Olivia obediently placed her phone in Emily’s hand. Emily found Allen Parker’s number and dialed it. "I’ll help you test the waters." Olivia swallowed hard.The phone only rang once before Allen Parker picked up. "What’s wrong?" No one spoke. Allen Parker called again, "Olivia?" "Hi, it's Emily." Allen Parker paused, then greeted her politely, "Hello, Emily. Is Olivia with you?" "Yes, she's here. I’m calling because she’s not feeling well. I’m pregnant and don’t know what to do, so I called you first…" Allen Parker's voice immediately became tense. "She's not feeling well? Where does she feel unwell? Have you called an ambulance?" "She just feels a bit dizzy. She's resting here." "Okay, I’m coming over right now. Don’t hang up, let’s stay on the line." Emily heard Allen Parker rushing around on the other end of the line. There was a sharp scraping sound, like a chair being dragged across the floor in a hurry. Emily smiled at Olivia. Olivia looked completely confused. What’s going on? Emily handed the phone to Olivia, lowering her voice. "You two need to have a proper talk today." Olivia felt like she was holding a hot potato instead of a phone. "Hello?" Allen Parker's voice came through the phone. "Emily, are you still there?" Emily motioned for Olivia to speak. But Olivia was at a loss. She had no idea what to say. The news was so shocking that she couldn't process it right away. "Uh… um…" Allen Parker immediately recognized her voice. "Olivia? How are you feeling now?" Olivia scratched her head. "I’m okay...""Did you eat lunch?" "I did, and I even brought a lot for Emily." Allen Parker said, "Then it’s not low blood sugar. What did you have for lunch? Could it be food poisoning?" Olivia nervously replied, "I ate what I bought from the hospital cafeteria. You’ve had it too, with king crab and sea cucumber..." "Seafood shouldn’t be eaten every day," Allen Parker sounded a bit self-critical. "I forgot to tell the chef..." "What did you say?" "It doesn’t matter what I said. Besides feeling dizzy, do you have any other symptoms?" Since she was lying, Olivia felt very guilty. "I... don’t have any..." "Then you probably ate too much seafood. You never have self-control when you eat..." Allen Parker sighed, sounding relieved. "You rest at Emily’s place. I’m on my way and will be there in about ten minutes. Don’t move, okay?" Olivia rolled her eyes. "I’m not a child." "You're not much smarter than one." Olivia got angry. "Hey, Allen Parker, you..." "Enough, don’t talk anymore. Just rest. I’ll be there soon." Olivia: "..." Allen Parker was dissatisfied with her silence. "Did you hear me?" "I heard." Olivia hung up the phone and flopped onto the couch. "Emily..." Emily smiled. "Do you believe it now?" "This isn’t about believing or not. It feels like my world just turned upside down." "I’ve told you before, he likes you. It’s just taken you this long to realize. Allen is quite unlucky to fall for you." Olivia pouted. "How could I have known Allen Parker had such bad taste? There are so many beautiful women at work he could like, but he likes me? I’m not as pretty as them, I don’t have a good figure, and my personality isn’t great either. I was prepared to stay single forever. Besides, I’m scared of marriage." Emily nodded. "I’ve noticed." Olivia always seemed terrified when talking about love and marriage. Emily sometimes couldn’t understand why Olivia, who grew up in a happy family, was so afraid of marriage. Olivia hugged her tightly. "It’s all because of you. Every time I think about your marriage with Nathan, I just want to break all the jerks’ d.icks!"
