Chapter 9 Stay away From My Husband

Upon seeing the message, Olivia immediately breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the soreness in her body had not completely disappeared. Especially in her private area, she still felt pain when walking. She took out her phone and replied with her slender fingers, [Thank you.] ***** After seeing the reply, Alex's face turned serious. Milo drove while respectfully asking, "Mr. Adams, are we heading back to the company? There's a meeting this afternoon that you need to attend." “Yes.” Milo put away his phone and resumed his previous dignified and cold demeanor. After replying to Alex's message, Olivia opened her laptop, ready to continue working on her resume. She had prepared this resume a few days ago but felt it wasn't good enough, so she planned to make some revisions. As she edited her resume, she said to Grace, who was in the bunk below hers, "Grace, can you help me rent a place?" Grace glanced at her and replied, "Sure." They were already in their final year of university and needed to find an internship. The school dormitory was no longer suitable for them. Grace said, "Olivia, I don't want to live at home either. Why don't we rent a place together?" Upon hearing this, Olivia looked at her and asked, "Why don't you want to go home either?" Grace pondered for a moment before saying, "I have an annoying brother at home." After speaking, she sighed softly. Three days later, Olivia finished an interview and felt confident in her performance. At that moment, she received a call from the HR department. "Congratulations, Miss Hall, you've been accepted." Olivia hung up the phone and immediately invited Grace to have dinner together to celebrate. Just as they had ordered their food and were about to start eating, Olivia received another call from the HR department. "Miss Hall, we're sorry to inform you that the headcount for interns at our company has been filled." Upon hearing this, Olivia was taken aback. She clenched the phone in her hand subconsciously. Olivia asked, "What about the acceptance letter I just received? Was that fake?" The HR rep was somewhat embarrassed and explained, "Miss Hall, we're truly sorry. We've just found a more suitable candidate." Olivia sighed lightly, feeling somewhat angry. "How can you change your decision like this? Have you learned about laws regarding labor rioghts? I can sue you for this." Feeling that they had made a big mistake, the HR rep hurriedly explained, "Miss Rosa Hall is affiliated with the Adams Corporation. She was the one that told us not to hire you. We had no choice." Upon hearing this, Olivia suddenly understood and promptly hung up the phone. Grace slammed her hand on the table in anger. "Rosa did it on purpose." Olivia gently patted her hand. "Forget it, I'll check out other companies." ***** Olivia felt like the food in her mouth didn't taste as good anymore. As they were eating, a guy wearing a white shirt approached them. Grace waved at him, "Hey, we are here." Olivia whispered, "Grace, who is this guy?" "He's Henry Martin." After saying that, Grace added, "Didn't you want to rent a place? He has some rental listings and has helped many students find accommodation." Olivia nodded. "I see." Henry came over and sat next to Grace, taking the initiative to introduce himself, "Olivia, don't you remember me? I often play basketball with Oliver." Upon hearing this, Olivia was surprised and realized why he looked familiar. Henry continued, "How are you and Oliver doing? I had high hopes for you guys back then." Olivia didn’t know what to say. She felt very embarrassed. After some thought, she replied, "Henry, let's not talk about him. We've broken up." Upon hearing this, Henry looked embarrassed. ***** Grace said, "Henry, Olivia wants to rent a place, could you please help with it?" Henry replied, "No problem. Olivia, how big of a place are you looking for?" Olivia pondered for a moment and said, "It's just the two of us, me and Grace, so it doesn't need to be too big. It would be best if it's furnished." "Alright." After that, Henry glanced meaningfully at Olivia. After finishing their meal, they set off to visit an apartment in the southern part of the city, which was quite remote, almost to the suburbs. Henry recommended a third-floor unit, which was nicely decorated and fully furnished for immediate move-in. "It's a bit remote, so the transportation might not be very convenient. Can you accept that? It's 600 dollars a month, but since we're alumni, I'll charge you 400 dollars, you two can split it." Olivia looked at Grace and asked, "Grace, what do you think?" Grace pondered for a moment. "I think it's fine." Olivia said, "Then let's go with this place." Grace nodded. "Okay." The two expressed their gratitude to Henry. "No need, it's just a small favor." Henry handed them a key and said, "You don't need to pay rent yet, just pay at the end of the month." Olivia said, "Okay." After Henry left, Olivia and Grace entered the cozy little apartment. The rooms were decorated with pink wallpaper and appeared very feminine. "Olivia, do you like it here?" Grace asked. Olivia said, "It seems fine to me. Let's tidy up a bit." The two quickly tidied up the apartment. They felt tired afterward and lay down on a bed to rest. Olivia thought, ‘I finally have a place for myself besides the Hall family and the dorm.’ While it was still early, the two went out to a bus stop and then took the bus back to school. ***** The next day, news spread about Rosa's engagement. She even generously handed out candies to all her classmates, proudly proclaiming that she was about to marry into a wealthy family. At this time, a student who was close to Rosa approached her and said, "Rosa, your dress must be expensive, it looks so beautiful." “It’s alright. It only cost a few thousand dollars." Rosa looked at everyone with a smile. Another student exclaimed, "Rosa, you're really lucky. Is that bag the latest from Hermes?" ***** Olivia sat at her desk and had headphones on. She didn’t pay any attention to what others were saying. Suddenly, with a bang, Rosa slammed her desk. Olivia looked at her puzzled, "Are you crazy?" Rosa said angrily, "Olivia, you'd better stay away from my husband in the future. If I catch you getting close to him again, l I'll break your legs." Upon hearing this, Olivia stood up suddenly and said, "Do you want to fight?" Her eyes showed a hint of fierceness. Rosa was startled by her reaction, she had never seen Olivia look like this before. But she quickly regained her composure and muttered, "You poor thing, with your look, you'll never be able to get involved with the Adams family in this lifetime." Olivia was speechless. She thought, ‘This is ridiculous. Does she think everyone wants to be affiliated with the Adams family like she does?’
