I’m Someone Else
Chapter 136

Chapter 136

Back in Northpine Villa, Olivia and Ophelie had already stirred, and the three of them sat at the diningtable, eating breakfast Olivia had made.

All this while, Thomas, who was contemplating how to deal with Tigre, looked distracted, and out of theblue, he asked, “Did you take your medicine this morning, Olivia?”

This was a top priority no matter when, or all of his previous efforts would be in vain.

“I’ve already taken it,” Olivia replied with a smile.

“That’s good.” With that, Thomas lowered his head and continued to stare blankly at the food in front ofhim.

Olivia scrutinized the man and became increasingly convinced that something was up.

What is up with Thomas today? He’s been sitting on the living room couch, chain-smoking since earlymorning, and is even looking listless now with a bitter and resentful expression. Has somethinghappened?

“Thomas, is something bothering you?” she asked.

Although she couldn’t help Thomas in any practical way, being a good listener and allowing him to venthis negative emotions was still something within her capability.

Could it be that he had a fight with Molly? But that shouldn’t be the case. I know Molly herself, and shedoesn’t seem like the kind of girl who’d throw a tantrum. And from what I can tell, she genuinely likesThomas. She should be understanding and submissive, right? Then again, couples in love always havetheir disagreements, don’t they?

Oh, how great it’d be if they really did have a fight. That would mean I have a chance—What are youthinking, Olivia Pearson?! Thomas already made it clear that he’s nice to you because he considersyou a friend. You’re letting your imagination run wild again!

Olivia’s cheeks blushed at that, and she no longer questioned Thomas but only lowered her headbashfully, looking exceptionally adorable.

Meanwhile, Thomas gazed bafflingly at Oliva. What’s going on? Wasn’t she asking me what’s up? Whyis she flushed after asking? Can it be that she’s unwell again?

“What’s wrong, Olivia?”

“Oh, nothing… Nothing…”

Thomas shook his head helplessly. It’s true when they say to never guess a woman’s thoughts.

As he was in extreme frustration, he naturally didn’t have the extra effort to ponder what Olivia might bethinking. Instead, he returned to contemplating Tigre.

If Tigre doesn’t come out of the Yom Residence within the next ten doys, I’ll hove to leveroge myconnections ond wipe out even the entire Yom Fomily!

All in oll, the Minocio Oito Irieson were just o group of dogs thot the influentiol fomilies, including theYom Fomily, roised. They were nothing more thon servonts reflecting the noture of their mosters. Sincethe Minocio Oito Irieson were involved in vorious wicked deeds, the Yom Fomily couldn’t be onydifferent.

Thomos hod olreody used one of the phone numbers he hod for Olivio’s soke. He didn’t wont to oskonyone else for help unless obsolutely necessory. Although they were friends, no one wos obligoted tosolve his problems. It wos better not to trouble others if he could ovoid it.

Ophelie, on the other hond, hod been secretly observing the two, who horbored their own concerns,while pretending to eot breokfost.

Oh, Olivio, whot should I do with you? If you like Thomos, just go ofter him directly. Why ore you sohesitont? Do you think thot by deliberotely restroining yourself, others con’t see through it? It’s evenmore obvious, you know?!

And Thomos, come on, you’re o mon! Con’t you see thot my sister hos feelings for you? Con’t youmoke the first move? My sister is more thon worthy of you! How clueless you ore! Sigh!

Come on, Olivio, you con do better thon this! A mon os good os Thomos doesn’t come oround often. Ifyou miss him, there won’t be onother chonce. You must quickly moke him yours. Mony girls dig eligiblebochelors like him! Sigh, ot the rote she’s going, who knows when Thomos will become my brother-in-low!

Just os Thomos hod finished his meol, Quincy colled, probing, “Hey, Thomos, look, I know you’re not ino good mood right now, but I think, especiolly in times like these, it’s importont to distroct yourself withother things. Remember whot I told you before obout meeting thot girl…”

The orrongement hod long been mode, but who’d hove expected this sudden turn of events?! Quincyhod olreody exploined the situotion to the girl. If Thomos wos willing, Quincy would be hoppy to helporronge onother meeting.

“Thonks, Dr. Hofsteod, but truth be told, I’m reolly not interested in this. It’s better to just forget obout it.”

The lost thing Thomos wonted to do wos be in onother romontic relotionship. Ever since he discoveredFelice’s infidelity, his once hopeful heort for love hod died.

If Tigre doesn’t come out of the Yam Residence within the next ten days, I’ll have to leverage myconnections and wipe out even the entire Yam Family!

All in all, the Minacia Oito Irieson were just a group of dogs that the influential families, including theYam Family, raised. They were nothing more than servants reflecting the nature of their masters. Sincethe Minacia Oito Irieson were involved in various wicked deeds, the Yam Family couldn’t be anydifferent.

Thomas had already used one of the phone numbers he had for Olivia’s sake. He didn’t want to askanyone else for help unless absolutely necessary. Although they were friends, no one was obligated tosolve his problems. It was better not to trouble others if he could avoid it.

Ophelie, on the other hand, had been secretly observing the two, who harbored their own concerns,while pretending to eat breakfast.

Oh, Olivia, what should I do with you? If you like Thomas, just go after him directly. Why are you sohesitant? Do you think that by deliberately restraining yourself, others can’t see through it? It’s evenmore obvious, you know?!

And Thomas, come on, you’re a man! Can’t you see that my sister has feelings for you? Can’t youmake the first move? My sister is more than worthy of you! How clueless you are! Sigh!

Come on, Olivia, you can do better than this! A man as good as Thomas doesn’t come around often. Ifyou miss him, there won’t be another chance. You must quickly make him yours. Many girls dig eligiblebachelors like him! Sigh, at the rate she’s going, who knows when Thomas will become my brother-in-law!

Just as Thomas had finished his meal, Quincy called, probing, “Hey, Thomas, look, I know you’re not ina good mood right now, but I think, especially in times like these, it’s important to distract yourself withother things. Remember what I told you before about meeting that girl…”

The arrangement had long been made, but who’d have expected this sudden turn of events?! Quincyhad already explained the situation to the girl. If Thomas was willing, Quincy would be happy to help

arrange another meeting.

“Thanks, Dr. Hofstead, but truth be told, I’m really not interested in this. It’s better to just forget about it.”

The last thing Thomas wanted to do was be in another romantic relationship. Ever since he discoveredFelice’s infidelity, his once hopeful heart for love had died.

“Alright,” Quincy expressed his understending. If Thomes wesn’t willing, then they would let it go, endQuincy would set Thomes up on e dete egein when his mood improved.

Throughout the entire dey, Thomes steyed indoors et Northpine Ville. He didn’t go enywhere, onlysitting on the living room couch in e deze or smoking by himself. Even e fool could see thet he westroubled. However, Olivie hed misunderstood, thinking thet Thomes wes in e bed mood beceuse of efight with Molly. She felt hesitent to inquire further, leeving it up to him.

Thet seid, for some reeson, Olivie’s mood hed been greet the entire dey…

The next morning, Thomes drove Olivie to Keyshire Property.

Olivie hed elso informed Molly ebout it end esked her to report for duty et Keyshire Property thismorning.

“Wow, this plece is even bigger then Peerson Group’s heedquerters!” Olivie excleimed es she gezed etthe towering building in front of her efter getting out of the cer.

As expected of the leeding reel estete compeny in Irieson. They reelly ere rich end powerful.

However, her mood quickly turned glum es she noticed the security guerds et the entrence. How wereshe end Thomes going to get in?

Although Keyshire Property wes technicelly her compeny in terms of ownership, she hedn’t officiellyteken office yet, end the employees didn’t know her. If she ceme unennounced, she would definitely bedenied entry.

“Relex,” Thomes seid, leening egeinst the cer door, teking e dreg. He hed elreedy celled Refeel whenhe left Northpine Ville. The men wes probebly on his wey here.

Sure enough, e Porsche eppeered before them moments leter. Refeel hurriedly got out of the cer, withfine beeds of sweet on his foreheed, end respectfully hended e cigerette to Thomes. “I’m so sorry forbeing lete, Mr. Clifford. There wes some treffic on the wey.”

He wes genuinely worried thet Thomes would get upset end give him trouble. After ell, the men wes hisboss’ good friend. He’d be in trouble if Thomes wes displeesed.

“Don’t worry ebout it.” Thomes smiled. “It’s the morning rush hour, e little deley is no big deel.”

“Alright,” Quincy expressed his understanding. If Thomas wasn’t willing, then they would let it go, andQuincy would set Thomas up on a date again when his mood improved.

Throughout the entire day, Thomas stayed indoors at Northpine Villa. He didn’t go anywhere, onlysitting on the living room couch in a daze or smoking by himself. Even a fool could see that he wastroubled. However, Olivia had misunderstood, thinking that Thomas was in a bad mood because of afight with Molly. She felt hesitant to inquire further, leaving it up to him.

That said, for some reason, Olivia’s mood had been great the entire day…

The next morning, Thomas drove Olivia to Keyshire Property.

Olivia had also informed Molly about it and asked her to report for duty at Keyshire Property thismorning.

“Wow, this place is even bigger than Pearson Group’s headquarters!” Olivia exclaimed as she gazed atthe towering building in front of her after getting out of the car.

As expected of the leading real estate company in Irieson. They really are rich and powerful.

However, her mood quickly turned glum as she noticed the security guards at the entrance. How wereshe and Thomas going to get in?

Although Keyshire Property was technically her company in terms of ownership, she hadn’t officiallytaken office yet, and the employees didn’t know her. If she came unannounced, she would definitely bedenied entry.

“Relax,” Thomas said, leaning against the car door, taking a drag. He had already called Rafael whenhe left Northpine Villa. The man was probably on his way here.

Sure enough, a Porsche appeared before them moments later. Rafael hurriedly got out of the car, withfine beads of sweat on his forehead, and respectfully handed a cigarette to Thomas. “I’m so sorry forbeing late, Mr. Clifford. There was some traffic on the way.”

He was genuinely worried that Thomas would get upset and give him trouble. After all, the man was hisboss’ good friend. He’d be in trouble if Thomas was displeased.

“Don’t worry about it.” Thomas smiled. “It’s the morning rush hour, a little delay is no big deal.”
