Originally, Joseph Grant wanted to curry favor from Olivia. After all, he could not risk exposing his feelings, which was why he pretended that he did not have a lover.

However, Olivia's words just now gave him another kind of feeling, this woman had actually confessed everything to him. If she didn't trust him excessively, or this woman still retained a sincere mindset, since she wasn't a bad person, why would Joseph Grant give her more hope?

Olivia was stunned, she even forgot to turn her eyes, as she stared straight at Joseph Grant.

"Olivia, I do not wish to lie to you, nor do I wish to hurt you. I do not have any good feelings towards you, if you are willing to be my friend ..."

"I don't want to be your friend, I want to be your woman!" Olivia's ears were thunderstruck, and her heart was filled with grief and coldness. There was nothing more hurtful than not liking those two words. Joseph Grant couldn't help but laugh: "I haven't met that woman who I want to protect. Olivia shouldn't place any hope on me, I'm afraid that I'll hurt you!"

"It's good that you don't have it. If you don't, then it means that I still have a chance. Don't be in such a hurry to reject me, you still don't understand me!" Olivia was so anxious that even her tears were rolling in her eyes. She was truly sad.

Joseph Grant was startled, he never thought that this woman would be so persistent. Could it be that rejecting her could also be considered giving her a kind of hope?

Joseph Grant did not understand enough about the relationship between a man and a woman, so he felt that women have too many thoughts.

"Olivia, I have to go over to eat, I have the kindness to advise you, we might not be suitable!" Joseph Grant really did not want to ruthlessly hurt her heart. After all, this was a very cruel thing to do.

"I won't give up on you. I will make you like me!" As Olivia retreated, her tears suddenly stopped. She turned around, wiped them all off as she ran away.

Joseph Grant frowned, but in truth, there were quite a few women who suddenly ran over to confess like Olivia, and every year there seemed to be many of them. Maybe this was normal human nature. If he liked her, he had to tell her. He wouldn't feel that there was anything wrong with this kind of woman, for it was really a human nature, if he had the guts, he would confess, if not, he would secretly fall in love with him.

Just as Olivia left, Lieutenant Hilton appeared from another corridor.

"Sir, she doesn't seem to understand human speech!" In truth, he had heard what Joseph Grant had said to him just now. After all, he had to protect Joseph Grant's safety at all times, and although this woman looked harmless and weak, she was not someone they could trust.

Joseph Grant's eyes darkened, and said indifferently: "Regarding this matter, do not let Alvina know."

"Sir, don't worry. If Olivia didn't bring up this matter, no one would have known either." Lieutenant Hilton quickly promised.

Joseph Grant sighed with boredom: "Don't let her see me again!"

"Alright!" The Lieutenant Hilton nodded.

Olivia was extremely sad, hiding in the meeting room alone and crying bitterly, tears in her eyes.

"Impossible. He clearly doesn't have anyone that he likes. How does he know that he wouldn't fall in love with me?" Olivia held onto a tissue and wiped away her tears and mucus. She simply couldn't believe that Joseph Grant would reject her so directly, not even giving her the chance to get to know each other.

A woman's thoughts were so complicated and laughable. As long as the other party was not married, she would think that she could still get a chance to work hard once.

Although Olivia's confession had failed, she had also discovered one thing. Joseph Grant did not have anyone he liked.

Alvina Miller was in class right now, and in the boring class, she sneezed twice, shocking the instructor who was in class. "I'm sorry!" Alvina Miller quickly smiled in embarrassment and apologized in English.

Zoey looked at her with concern, and asked softly: "Have you caught a cold?"

"No way, someone might be missing me!" Alvina Miller also whispered. After she finished speaking, she started laughing.

Zoey also laughed, and suddenly she was extremely envious of her, because the people she liked were also people who liked her, and she was the happiest person in the world.

After an entire day of lessons, Alvina Miller was dizzy when she followed Zoey to eat. However, she still felt weak in both legs, and her head was dizzy.

"Zoey, I think I really have a cold. Could you touch my forehead to see if I have a fever?" Alvina Miller finally admitted that she was sick after she persevered for a whole day. Zoey hurriedly touched her forehead: "Oh my god, it's so hot, you're having a fever, it must be because of yesterday's sweat and the cold wind outside, I'll send you to the hospital first!"

"It's not that serious. I'll go back to my room to rest first. Bring me some cold medicine and food later!" Alvina Miller was afraid to go to the hospital.

"Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital?" Zoey asked anxiously.

"I'm not going, I'm going back to my room to take a hot bath!" After Alvina Miller finished, she turned and left.

After returning to her room, she collapsed onto her bed. As expected, she couldn't put too much effort. Physical health was the most important thing.

She originally wanted to take a bath, but the moment she touched the bed, she fell asleep in a daze.

When she woke up, Zoey was anxiously looking at her with deep concern: "Alvina, you're awake. I bought you medicine and some food, but it's already cold.

"No need, I don't want to eat it now. Give me the medicine!" Alvina Miller opened her mouth to speak, only to realize that her throat had gone mute. She did not expect that this disease would be so fierce, making her defenseless.

Looking at her pale face, Zoey was truly worried. However, she was unable to persuade him otherwise, so it seemed that she could only replace someone who could persuade her otherwise.

When Zoey went to boil some hot water for Alvina Miller, she secretly sent a message to the Lieutenant Hilton.

Sure enough, a call came in immediately.

Zoey turned her head guiltily and said to Alvina Miller: "Alvina, Mr. Vice-President has called, do you want to answer?"

"Yes!" When Alvina Miller heard Joseph Grant's name, her mind shook.

Zoey hurriedly opened the video call, and saw Joseph Grant's anxious expression.

Zoey quickly turned the screen back to Alvina Miller and saw that the little girl had a haggard expression and was leaning on the bed with a listless expression.

"Alvina, are you sick?" The man's low and urgent voice sounded.

Alvina Miller's beautiful eyes were startled, she blinked her eyes and looked towards Zoey, who laughed dryly.

"Yes, I've got a cold, low fever!" Alvina Miller took the phone and smiled.

"Let Zoey accompany you to the hospital to take a look!" As expected, the man asked directly.

"I don't want to go, I'll take my medicine first, Zoey bought the medicine for me!" Alvina Miller picked up a small medicine bag and waved it in front of the screen.

"With your face so pale, you must be sick. Be obedient and go to the hospital!" This was the first time Joseph Grant had seen her this dispirited. Even her usual pair of large eyes seemed lifeless and unfocused.

"Joseph Grant, look, I think I am sick. Can't you come over to see me?" Alvina Miller immediately acted like she was wronged and looked at him pitifully.

Joseph Grant was speechless and helpless, but he felt even more pained. "If you can go take a look at the hospital, I'll consider going to take a look at you!"

"Really?" Alvina Miller's beautiful eyes immediately widened as they flashed with a smile.

"Hmm, in three days, there will be an important meeting at your place. I will be there!" Joseph Grant had just received this news at noon today, and was just about to tell her, but he didn't expect to hear the news of her sickness.

"That's great. When the time comes, can we meet?" Alvina Miller's mood became better, and her spirits rose too.

"I will arrange it, I also want to see you!" Joseph Grant laughed softly. The happiness written on her face directly told him about his place in her heart.

"Alright, I'll go to the hospital. I'll see you in three days!" Alvina Miller had indeed been persuaded by him, she did not want to see herself sick in three days, that would be too disheartening.

Zoey heaved a sigh of relief. Indeed, she would only listen to Vice-President's words.

"Alvina, take care of yourself. Don't let me worry, okay?" Joseph Grant stared at the camera reluctantly, and warned her repeatedly with a low voice.

"I'm fine, don't worry. I'm hanging up!" After Alvina Miller finished speaking, she really hung up the phone.

Joseph Grant's brows were still filled with worry, he did not expect that she would actually be sick, and that they were separated by a thousand miles. He wanted to take care of her, but he had the heart but no energy.
