Chapter 40: How Could Mr. Hoyle Know I Could Speak Dutch
Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife
Olive took his hand away. "In the past, the dandy whose the son of Mr.
Geve, Master Geve, deceived many women in the company with such
words. Mr. Hoyle, I respect you for being young and your capability, but
don't let me down. Be yourself. I'm full. Go back to my room first."
In fact, the food on her plate hardly was eaten.
Olive could hear her voice full of anxiety. Although she tried to make
her movements calm and easy, her heart was in a state of disorder.
And he, almost at the moment when she left the table, grabbed her
wrist and said, "Why do you want to leave in a hurry. Are you afraid I'll
eat you or being found out?â
His words seemed to have another meaning.
Olive was stiff, and she dared not look at his deep eyes. She was afraid
that he really could find out something.
"Sit down and finish your breakfast.â There was almost no negotiable
tone of command.
Olive bit her lip and ate it showing that she was not afraid of him. It was
only this breakfast that made her tremble, and she could not calm
down for a long time when she returned to her room.
She washed her face with cold water. Although the face in the mirror
was still beautiful and young, it was contaminated by the vicissitudes of
the years. She kept reminding herself. Ophelia, Ophelia...
Only by remembering this name could she make herself look ahead
and backward instead of being selfish and having a blindly impulsive
for love. And the failure marriage of Chloe reminded her that the
concept of hierarchy in the rich and powerful families was deeply
rooted.
The marriage of Hoyle and Meyer two families was doomed by fate,
and she Olive was just a daughter of the common people in the city.
Even if he still remembered the girl of that year, they were already the
people of two worlds.
She knew her own warmth and coldness.
The job gave by Alan was to translate a contract into Dutch.
In college, Olive minored in a foreign language when she was idle.
Others chose Japan, Korea, France, Germany and Russia, but she chose
a small language which was not popular, and she learned it with relish.
When she was young, she also had the girl's romantic feelings. She
wanted to go to that beautiful windmill country one day and see the
scenery when tulips blossomed.
Maybe it was the unintentional behaviour had a good outcomes.
Because she fluently mastered the language, when she graduated, she
received a offer from a good company, but, in the end, no fate...
And she have not communicated with people's in this language about
five years. She did not know whether she could make it. At this time,
Olive was shocked suddenly .
Alan looked her wrong face,"Why? There's any problem?â
"How do Mr. Hoyle know that I understand Dutch?" Olive asked very
carefully.
When she returned to Luo city, in addition to adding a little bit of chips
to her job search, she wrote in the VC. Few people knew that she knew
her mother tongue and English as well as a third language.
Alan couldn't possibly know. Suddenly, she was asked to translate this.
In addition the words he said in the restaurant. Olive always felt that he
was trying her out.
Because the before Alan knew that she could speak Dutch.
"I have read your employment information from the Personnel
Department. Make the best use of everything and people. Miss Steele,
do not hide your ability. Don't tell me, it's just a trick you put on paper
to fool the interviewers.â
It was so.
Olive could not tell whether she felt stable or a slight disappointed. She
was very complicated in her heart. In other words, it was an
unspeakable contradiction. She was afraid that he would recognize her,
and do not hope him to forget her.
Women's minds were all complicated. Even her own, had a little unable
to understand her own minds.
"To be honest, I seldom use this language in recent years. Aren't you
afraid that I will delay your work?" With her word which occasional
joked on Annie, the fear was that what she learned would be returned
to the teacher.
"If you didn't try it, it's too early to draw a conclusion.â Just like treating
her, if he didn't try his best, how could he determine whether she was
his girl after all? In the restaurant, she blocked his temptation, so that
he always felt she was avoiding.
Olive smiled softly. "Since Mr. Hoyle trust me so much, how can I be a
little confident, right?"
"Give it to me by twelve noon.â
"OK."
What else could she say except OK? Alan made up his mind to let her
do such a thing.
But Olive did not think that the contract belonged to Hoyle family, not
Hengdu company's. Even though Hengdu company had business
relations with foreign countries, it was only between Japan and South
Korea, far from reaching Europe.
Alan let her contact Hoyle company's business now. The 800 million
contract was not a small business. Did he want to bring her into Hoyle
company?
Olive could not be sure of his mind. She also dared not slow down her
work. She always felt that she was now a step by step and must be
careful. But she did not think about going into Hoyle company, nor
dared to think about it. That place, like the dragon's and tiger's caves
which were full of danger, she dared not venture easily.
"Good job. Half an hour earlier.â Alan was obviously satisfied with her
efficiency. Then he said to the staffs accompanying him, "The next few
days will be very busy. If you can finish your work smoothly and in
advance, I will invite you to play in Hainan for several days.â
Sure enough, it was a man who knew how to use advantages and
threats. He was quite willing to get people's hearts.
