Olivia ran away, blushing.

Sam stood rooted to the ground and touched his cheek inexplicably.

She had taken advantage of him matter-of-factly and even ridiculed him to do the same to her. How come she cowered the moment he took action?

It seemed that she was lascivious but not bold, yet she dared pretend to be precocious in front of him.

Who would've thought she was run away as soon as he got a little closer.

After Olivia ran away, Sam didn't even notice there was a faint smile on his lips.

Weil appeared out of nowhere behind Sam and said meaningfully, "It sure is good to be young and energetic. Mr. Sorrento, you have good taste. That girl is so beautiful."

Weil was praising Olivia with a smile on his face.

Sam glanced at him with a faint expression. "Thank you."

Weil raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you admitting it, Assistant Sorrento? Is that girl really your girlfriend?"

"Yes." Sam nodded.

Although he remembered he was only pretending, Weil was close to the Jenkins family. So his answer was also crucial. Otherwise, Olivia would come at him if Weil said something he shouldn't have to the Jenkins family.

"Good, good. Congratulations. Looks like you two have a good relationship. I'm assuming there will be good news soon?" Weil asked.

Sam smiled but said nothing, and Weil did not continue to ask.

When the banquet ended, Weil said something to Pollard, and after Weil and Sam left, Pollard called Karl to him.

"Karl, Ollie has such an influential boyfriend. How can you hide it and not let us know?"

Karl looked puzzled. "Pollard, what are you talking about?"

"Karl, don't act dumb. Do you really want to hide it? Although Mr. Sorrento didn't reveal his identity, I know Arnold Group wants to work with Yardley Corporation. Based on Weil's actions today, he has great respect for Mr. Sorrento. It's obvious Mr. Sorrento's identity is not that simple."

Karl still didn't know what Pollard wanted to say, "But, what does this have to do with Ollie? Oh, are you trying to say she knows him? Didn't Mr. Sorrento say they're just friends?"

"You believe that? Think about his expression when he said that. I saw him hesitate before saying it. Also, I heard from Mr. Arnold that he likes Ollie." "Huh?" Karl was very confused. "If that's the case, then why did he..."

"It must be that Ollie hasn't introduced him to us yet, so he doesn't dare say recklessly. This proves Mr. Sorrento cares about Ollie's feelings very much."

Karl was confused by Pollard's words; he really didn't know what was going on.

Pollard patted him on the shoulder and said with a pleased face, "Not bad, Karl. You've raised a good daughter. Help me ask if Mr. Sorrento is free in the next few days. We should treat him to a meal."

Karl was dumbfounded.

Karl was still confused after the banquet had ended and everyone had gone home. Were his daughter and Sam really a couple?

However, when Karl was about to have a proper chat with his daughter, he was told Olivia had already left.

Olivia had planned to take a taxi and run away first because she knew many people who'd ask her questions at the end of the banquet, so she had to leave quickly.

However, as soon as she walked to the road, a car stopped in front of her, and then the window rolled down. Sam's face appeared in front of her.

"Get in the car."

"Sam?" Olivia's eyes widened. "Haven't you already left?"

Sam pursed his lips and did not answer her question. He just said coldly, "Get in the car. I can't park here."

Olivia felt helpless.

She looked around, opened the door, and sat in the front passenger seat. Then she fastened her seat belt and asked, "Why are you here? As far as I know, you left with Mr. Arnold earlier." Sam glanced at her indifferently. "You're aware of my movements? Why are you paying so much attention to me?"

Olivia looked at Sam speechlessly.

Probably because she didn't expect

him to say such words, she was dumbfounded for a long while. Then, she said slowly, "You're the special guest today, so everyone's eyes are on you. Even if I don't want to pay attention to it, I'm forced to."

"Is that so?" Sam asked.

Seeing that she had fastened her seat belt, Sam did not say anything more and drove away.

In fact, he had already left but decided to come back after a second thought as it looked to him that Mavis liked to cause Olivia trouble. It just so happened that Olivia came out the moment he reached. Of course, he would definitely not tell her this.

But obviously, Olivia did not intend to let it go. Seeing he wasn't answering, she continued to ask, "You haven't told me why you came back."

"I left something behind. I came back to retrieve it." Sam said indifferently.

"You left something behind? What's that?"

Olivia blinked and looked at him again. She suddenly squinted her eyes and looked at him carefully. "Did come back for me on purpose?" Otherwise, how could it be that coincidental that his car would appear after she came out not too long after?

When Sam heard her words, he glanced at her. The look in his eyes was difficult to parse.

"In your dreams."

"This again. If you don't want to admit it, so be it. As long as I know you came back for me on purpose."

Sam didn't intend to argue with her, because he really came back for her.

"Hey, Sam, don't tell me you're taking our relationship seriously, are you?"

Screech...

The car suddenly screeched, and Sam parked it on the side of the road. "What did you say?"

Olivia was startled by the sharp screech, and she was still in shock when the car stopped.

"What the hell? You don't have to do this, even if you're agitated."

Sam frowned and said, "Never make such a joke again."

Olivia frowned. "I'm just kidding. What gives?!"

Sam did not speak.

Looking at his face, Olivia was angry for some reason. She sneered and then said, "Of course, I know our

relationship is fake. That's whyet

joked about it. If you think I'm wrong, then you can just tell me to shut up. You don't need to do this, do you?"

"Even if I fall in love with you one day, as long as you don't have me in your heart, I am not the kind of person who will pester you. I'm well aware of what's real and not. So, Mr. Sorrento, you don't have to worry about it!"
