When Olive received the call, she was very busy and wanted to say, can we make it another day?
This unexpected matter caught her off guard. What happened on Microblog made her feel that this was
not a simple case of unclean food but a deliberate attempt to get Angel Holiday Hotel into trouble.
Otherwise, there would not be so many hired netizens who made this incident a trending topic.
Being in a trending topic was not bad. At least, Angel Holiday Hotel became more famous. Maybe this
was a good chance for Angel Holiday Hotel. What she should consider was how to win publicity and
the trust of customers for it.
She asked Alan to wait for a while. Alan said, "Okay, take your time."
But after waiting for half an hour, he saw Olive coming with a heavy face.
"Did you hit a snag at work?" He asked.
"That was obvious to you?" Olive didn't think he could see anything from her expression. She adjusted
her state in the elevator before she walked out.
"Tell me what happened."
"Something went wrong in the catering department, but it's almost resolved." She was waiting for news
from Ivy.
She had a conjecture, but had no complete evidence. Therefore, she couldn't convict that person
directly.
"Mom, how can you ignore me." Annie poked her head out between the two seats.
"I'm sorry, baby, Mommy was so busy this afternoon. Sit back." Olive turned her head and kissed her
daughter's little cheek. Unexpectedly, she was slightly taken aback when she saw a familiar face.
"Olive, nice to see you." Ada chuckled, remembering the humiliating thing of that day.
Alan held the steering wheel in both hands and introduced, "Ada Hoyle, the craziest one in the Hoyle
family. You'd better be careful, in case you would be fooled by her."
Olive smiled, "That proves that she has an obsession in a certain field. I guess she is obsessed with
the clothing business at present."
Ada cheered, "Olive, you are awesome. You don't know how mean my brother and Aoba are. They will
only discourage me. If you were in the back seat, I would hug you. You understand me."
Alan shook his head, "We only want you to be down-to-earth. You wasted your money again in Paris,
didn't you?"
"Yes, but I came back with a few orders, which proves that some people like my work and that of our
company's designers," Ada argued.
"I guess what you earn from those orders is not enough to cover the expense of your promotional
activities."
What Alan said was true. Ada had no confidence to refute.
Alan continued, "I told you to be down-to-earth and manage your domestic market first, but you had to
be over-ambitious to break into the international market. You ran into snags and be foiled abroad, didn't
you?"
"I have started to run the domestic market." Ada said in a low voice, but soon she regained her
confidence, "I will definitely become a world-class fashion designer one day."
"If you have a dream and are willing to work hard, it's possible to achieve it." Olive, fearing that they
would fall into a fight, quickly mediated.
Annie said, "Auntie, you believe you can do that."
It was said that three women were enough for a drama. If Chloe got together with the three of them, the
scene would be lively.
At the supermarket, to save time, they went straight to the food ingredients section.
Out of courtesy, Olive asked Ada, "What do you want to eat?"
"I'm not a picky eater. I'll eat whatever you make. But I prefer mild food. I will get acne if I eat spicy
food." Ada directly told her dietary preferences.
"Then I'll make a two-flavor hot pot. Kent prefers spicy flavors. How about half spicy and half mild?"
Olive discussed with Alan.
Alan pushed the shopping cart with his daughter sitting in the cart and smiled, "You are the chef
tonight, so it's up to you."
The two people gathered together to choose the ingredients, and talked softly from time to time, which
made Ada feel that they were like an ordinary couple who were doing the most ordinary things, but it
was so warm.
She saw the happy expression on her brother's face from time to time. Before, his smile was so hollow
and distant.
When Olive was selecting fish with a net, Ada quietly touched his brother, "Brother, it seems that you
are enjoying your married life."
Alan smiled, "Aoba has already found the one he loves. Shouldn't you also make an effort to get
yourself married? If you keep delaying, you will become a single old lady."
Ada glared, "Are you serious? Don't make fun of me."
Alan's eyes rested on his wife, "It was my sincere advice. The life your sister-in-law and I are living right
now is wonderful, and you can't experience it without being in it.
Ada sighed inaudibly behind him. It was not easy to find true love. He didn't know that the man she
once wished to marry revealed the ugliest side of human nature in the end.
Because they were pressed for time, they finished shopping quickly.
When they returned to the villa, Ada followed into the kitchen, "Olive, let me help you."
Alan was helping in the kitchen. Hearing this, he said contemptuously, "Come on, you would only make
the kitchen a mess."
He clearly remembered that she almost burned the kitchen and even fried eggs into something like
charcoal.
Ada kicked him and intimidated him, "Brother, why are you always so mean to me? I can learn. If you
keep exposing my shortcomings, I will tell Olive your secrets. "
Alan put his hand on his wife’s shoulder, "I forgot to tell you that there is no secret between my wife and
me. She knows everything about me. You want to get something on me? No way."
Olive was amused by them and wondered what a scene would be if Aoba was also here.
This family, except for Mrs. Hoyle, was actually quite interesting.
"All right, you can help me wash the vegetables. Your brother will be responsible for shredding, and I
will stir-fry them."
"What about me?" Annie also came into the kitchen.
Alan said, "You are responsible for playing."
"Then can I go play in the garden?" The little girl pointed outside.
"Of course, but don't run out," Alan said.
So what Ada saw was the couple tacitly cooperating to make dinner in the kitchen where the evening
sun shined in. Through the window, they could see their child chasing butterflies in the garden.
Such a scene was her dream a few years ago. It was just that the dream shattered before she could
realize it.
She suddenly felt that she was a little jealous of her brother.
He was mild and gentle like an ordinary man, taking his wife home after work, cooking together, and
talking about some insipid topics happily.
This was the life her brother wanted, quiet and peaceful.
Although Olive didn't snub her but talked to her about those topics, Ada felt like a bystander who
accidentally broke in. Half of her soul was interacting with them, while the other was quietly hiding in a
corner and watching their every move.
Annie had a great time playing in the garden alone. She suddenly ran in, yelling, "Guess what I'm
holding?"
The little girl put her hands behind her back and wanted to play a guessing game with the adults.
"What is it?" Olive turned around.
Alan glanced at her, "It's definitely not a good thing."
"Is it a butterfly?" Ada squatted down in front of her. She saw her keep catching butterflies there for a
while.
Annie shook her head, "No."
"What is it?"
"Keep guessing."
"What else can be in the garden? A bug?"
The little girl still shook her head.
"I don't know." Ada gave up and wanted to take a peek, but was quickly avoided by her.
"No peeking. You'll get a prize if you guess right." Annie released the bait.
"What's the prize?" Ada was curious, thinking that this five-year-old had too many weird and wonderful
thoughts in her head that she shouldn't have at this age.
"My sweet kiss." The little girl puckered her mouth.
Ada chuckled, "Your kiss is worthless."
"No, my kiss is priceless." She suddenly stretched out her little hands.
Ada thought this guessing game would continue, but Annie gave them the answer suddenly. When she
fixed her eyes on Annie's hand, she saw her pinching a frog's foot. Then the frog croaked twice. She
took a quick step back with a scream and almost lost her balance.
It was ugly, wet, and slimy, and she had a phobia of such creatures. Although she wouldn't be scared to
flee, she would break into goosebumps all over.
" Aniet, are you a boy. This thing will bite people. Throw it away quickly."
It was naturally a lie.
"Frogs don't bite people. They only eat pests." Annie corrected. She wouldn't be deceived.
Alan, who was not surprised by his daughter's mischievousness, said casually, "She's not even afraid
of snakes. How can she be afraid of a frog?
"Really?" Ada felt the hairs on her back stand up. Snakes were a creature that was many times more
terrifying than frogs. She was dumbfounded, "Olive, was it really you who gave birth to her, a little
monster? Maybe she came out of some kind of weird ball."
"Auntie, that is Nezha (a mythological person's name)." Annie reacted immediately.
Olive smiled and said, "She is a bit more courageous than average children when she could crawl.
Now that she has learned some martial arts, she is even more fearless. Sometimes she's also a
headache for me."
