Chapter 480 After having her meal, Olivia looked at the time and saw that it was already evening. Johnâs injury was not serious, and he could do most things independently.
âMr. Freeman,â She got up from the sofa and said, âItâs getting late. Iâm going back to the hotel. Iâll see you tomorrow.â
John had expected her to stay, but she had chosen to leave before even 7.00 p.m.
âHow about during the night...â
âYou canât shower while youâre injured, and youâve already eaten. You hurt your right arm, but you shouldnât have trouble going to the bathroom.â
As they spoke, Olivia was already at the door. âYou have an assistant, so it would be better for you to look for him if you need anything. So, Iâm leaving.â
Then, she opened the door and walked out without giving John any chance to persuade her to stay.
She hailed a taxi outside the hospital and returned to the hotel.
She heaved a sigh of relief at the thought.
The radio station in the car was broadcasting the earthquake in Solaria City. Overall, it did not seem too severe. No buildings collapsed, the ground did not split apart, and there were only a few casualties.
According to the Earthquake Bureau forecast, there would be no further aftershocks.
The tragedy she saw in the hospital was caused by a traffic accident in which a bus rolled off the road, leading to severe casualties.
When she was at the hotel, she looked around and found everything was the same as before.
Everything that happened before seemed like a dream, but now, she had woken up, and everything was clear.
Her messy mind was now calm.
Olivia smiled and explained the situation to the receptionist. Then, she took another elevator to her room.
After taking a bath, she got to bed early.
She was getting ready for bed when the phone rang.
âPheebs, there was an earthquake in Solaria City. Are you okay?â
âMr. Hemsworth?â
The man on the other end of the call sounded displeased and complained, âPheebs, Iâve told you to call me Xavier. Donât always call me Mr. Hemsworth. It sounds like we are strangers.â
Perhaps she was in a good mood. Instead of being as serious as usual, she chuckled and said, âOkay, Xavier. Thank you for asking.â
Xavier noticed she was in a good mood. âWhy do you sound so happy even after experiencing an earthquake? Pheebs, are you really in Solaria City?â
âYes,â Olivia looked up at the ceiling and smiled. âProbably because I survived and didnât get hurt. I feel lucky.â
âIâm glad youâre not hurt. I was thinking of flying over to see you.â
âDonât you have to go to work?
Xavier snorted. âDo I look like a salaryman to you?â
Olivia shook her head helplessly. âAlright, Mr. Hemsworth. I know youâre from a wealthy family, youâre handsome, and you have a high status.â
âPheebs, did you just call me handsome?â
Olivia could hear Xavierâs happy laughter from the other end of the call.
âI mean that...â Olivia pursed her lips. âIâm not suitable for you. Donât waste your time on me.â
She did not know if what Xavier said was sincere or not. After what Zac had done for her, she was afraid whenever someone said they liked her.
She was afraid she could not pay back what they had done for her.
âPheebs.â
Xavier chuckled. âWhat you say is too decisive. It doesnât depend on you to say if we are suitable. You canât stop me from being nice to you.â
That suddenly left Olivia speechless.
Indeed. She could not stop him...
âItâs late. Iâm going to bed.â
âPheebs, do you know you like running away from trouble?â
Running away?
Did she like to run away?
Before she could speak, Xavier said, âHave a good rest. Weâll talk about it when youâre back.â
After hanging up the call, he looked at the man beside him and asked coldly, âAre you sure you saw her entering the hospital with John?â
