The Ice-Cold Executive Gets A Wife Novel - Chapter 128
Chapter 128: He Was Hooked
“Anita, have you seen Raphael?” Olivia asked as she ran down the stairs.
“No, shouldn’t he be in his room?” Anita answered calmly as she sipped her coffee. “It’s not even eight o’clock yet. There’s plenty of time for an art exhibition, isn’t it?”
“I’ve looked for him, but there’s no one there! This person is really something! We agreed to go to the art exhibition together today, but there’s no one there!” Olivia was a little anxious. She could no longer care that the ‘person’ she mentioned was Anita’s uncle.
She had been looking forward to that art exhibition for more than a month and although the art exhibition would last for a month, she hoped to see it at the first opportunity. Olivia always hoped to do things as soon as possible.
The exhibition was open for a limited time only. The museum would close at two o’clock in the afternoon. Olivia looked at her phone. It was already eight o’clock. It would take three hours to drive there. If she didn’t set off now, it would be too late!
“Raphael has always been the most unreliable person in our family! Maybe he’s forgotten about it! Olivia, don’t worry, I’ll call him for you right now!” Anita could hear Olivia’s voice breaking. She quickly comforted her and dialed Raphael’s number without hesitation.
“Beep… Beep… Beep…”
The phone rang for a long time, but no one picked up. Anita appeared to be a little anxious. “If Raphael has forgotten the time, what should we do? Are you going to miss the art exhibition? Raphael had a good impression of you at dinner yesterday. Missing the first date is not Raphael’s style!”
Anita’s words only made Olivia more and more anxious. She had already forgotten that this was their first date. If Raphael forgot, then their relationship would end here. If it did not start, it would end today.
“What should we do? The art exhibition ends at two o’clock in the afternoon. What should I do?” Olivia’s sobbing voice got louder. She was anxious but also angry.
“Don’t bother about him. It’s already eight twenty. It’ll take three hours to get there. We have to leave immediately! Olivia, I’ll go and get changed right now! I’ll send you there!” Anita hung up the phone decisively. She couldn’t let Olivia wait like this. Moreover, she had to allow Olivia to go upstairs, too.
“Okay, that’s all I can do. Thank you, Anita.” Olivia wiped away her tears and stood up to thank Anita.
“No biggie!” Anita waved her hand and quickly ran to the room. Olivia also hurriedly chased after her. No matter what, they would be delayed for a few hours before they get there anyway! She had to watch Anita change her clothes before she felt at ease.
“Olivia, help me with the zipper, and I’ll be done!” Anita didn’t expect to get herself ready so fast. She wondered, why isn’t this guy Raphael back yet!
“Anita, what’s with all the commotion? Why is it so noisy?”
He was finally back and could finally give Olivia the benefit of the doubt. However, Anita still had to continue guiding him.
“It seems to be coming from the lawn. Let’s go to the window and look,” she suggested.
“It’s too late. Now is not the time to care about this!” Olivia ignored it.
“Let’s take a look. It won’t take a minute.” Saying that Anita hopped two steps forward barefooted.
The zipper on the dress slipped from Olivia’s hand. She took a few steps forward to reach for the zipper on Anita’s dress again.
“Olivia, look, it’s for you.” Anita saw the surprise on Olivia’s face.
“It’s Raphael? It’s Raphael!” She was first doubtful, then a little excited.
A red and black helicopter was parked on the lawn across from their afternoon tea yesterday. Raphael made a hand gesture to Anita and Olivia from the pilot’s seat.
“Olivia, go quickly,” Anita encouraged.
“What about you?” Olivia was a little hesitant. Anita was kind enough to offer to send her there just now. Now that she had a better choice, she was about to turn on Anita’s kindness. Wasn’t she letting Anita down? However, Olivia’s hand had already fallen from Anita’s back unconsciously. The zipper was only half-done.
Anita turned and winked at her. “What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go! Aren’t you going to the art exhibition? This Raphael is really something. Didn’t he say that he would be back at eight o’clock?”
“So you knew!” Olivia suddenly realized. No wonder Anita had gotten up before eight o’clock on a Sunday. It turned out that she was in it with Raphael.
“Olivia! Go quickly, go quickly!”
Was this girl dumbfounded? But if it were Anita, she would be dumbfounded, too. No one would put in so much effort to treat her like this. Olivia was really lucky.
“Thank you, Anita. ” Olivia glanced at her gratefully and quickly ran downstairs.
“It seems that Raphael is really hooked this time,” Anita muttered, slowly taking off her dress and lying down again..
