Chapter 257 Competing For Her With You
King still didn’t respond, but the smile on his lips widened slightly.
However, his intention was clear as day. Le indeed harbored feelings for Olivia.
In truth, King didn’t know when it began. Olivia had gradually occupied a special place in his heart. However, due to his family and health, King kept his feelings hidden deep within for the time being.
Blair patted King’s shoulder and chirped, “She does seem quite the match for you, although she might not be interested in you that way. You might have to put in ine effort”
“So be it. I’m willing to put in the effort, no matter how long it takes,” King said, a smirk playing at the corners of his lips.
Of course, he could tell that Olivia didn’t see him in that way. She thinks of me as nothing more than a boss and friend. But what does it matter? Feelings can be cultivated over time.
Blair chuckled. “You better hurry, then. Watch out for competition.”
Blair said that because he was reminded of the incident that took place in Attlewich. It seems that Nathan from Carter Group also harbors a unique sentiment toward Olivia. Between the treo equally exceptional individuals, I’m naturally siding with King.
“Competition?” King narrowed his eyes slightly as he was suddenly reminded of someone. Nathan!
Still, he figured he had nothing to fear. Had it not been for a job transfer. Olivia perhaps would have preferred never to see Nathan again in her lifetime.
King didn’t dwell on it any further. He simply smiled and said, “When I return, I’ll start pursuing her.”
A trace of determination shone through his calm gaze.
Blair patted King on the shoulder, encouraging the latter with a smile, “In that case, may you be successful!”
King glanced at him sideways. “I will.”
The two shared a look and laughed.
Olivia gazed at the watch King had gifted and arched her brow. This present is indeed quite valuable. It seems I’ll need to find an opportunity to reciprocate his gesture.
She carefully stowed away the watch, then devoted all her energy to her busy work.
Due to the successful initiation of the collaboration with Carter Group, the company’s subsequent development proceeded smoothly. Numerous corporations even took the initiative to seek partnerships with them.
Moreover, the collaboration with Sphaera Group was also progressing in an orderly manner.
Olivia thought. Everything is progressing in a positive direction. With time, I’m sure Horizon Ventures will be able to establish a firm foothold in Emberfall.
As the sky outside the floor–to–ceiling windows gradually darkened, Olivia raised her hand to rub both sides of her neck, her gaze falling on the desk calendar.
She reached out, picking it up and flipping through it. When she reached the page marked the fifteenth of August, her gaze fell on the words “Harvest Festival,” and she couldn’t help but fall into a daze.
Harvest Festival was a wonderful time for family reunions, yet it was the anniversary of her parents‘ passing, a day that filled her heart with sorrow.
Over the years, she had lived abroad and had not been able to visit her parents‘ graves.
Olivia once thought she would never return to Emberfall in this lifetime. but now that she was back, she still hadn’t gotten the

She set down the desk calendar, dialed the intercom, and asked for Benjamin to enter her office.
“How can I help you, Ms. Olivia?” Benjamin assumed it was about some work–related matter and hurried in.

“It’s nothing.” Olivia gave a faint smile before lowering her gaze and adding slowly, “Benjamin, clear my schedule on the fifteenth.”
The fifteenth? Benjamin racked his brain, trying to figure out what day it was. Fifteenth of August! That’s Ms. Olivia’s parents‘ death anniversary.
Without asking further, Benjamin nodded and replied, “Okay. I’ll help you postpone all the plans for that day.”
Olivia looked up and gazed at him calmly. “Thank you for your hard work.”
“Not at all.” Benjamin’s lips moved as if he wanted to say something. However, he ultimately didn’t utter a word and simply nodded before spinning on his heels and leaving.
Olivia pursed her lips. I’ll have to bring Liam along on the day of the death anniversary.
