Soon, Sean drove over in a black Lamborghini. “Here’s the car I got for you, Thomas. Check your schedule. When you’re free, let’s take a look at the villa I got you. It’s got a great environment. I’m sure you’ll like it.”

“I—” Thomas began, but Sean cut him off with a wave. “Can’t talk now, Thomas. I have a business negotiation this morning, so I need to make my way over there now. Let me know when you’re free!”

Sean flagged down a cab and left.

Thomas shook his head helplessly as he watched Sean leave. Nevertheless, he couldn’t dwell on it now as time was running out. First, he drove to Olivia’s apartment, but when he realized no one was there, he drove to Pearson Residence.

Soon, Olivia stepped out of the house. She saw Thomas leaning against the Lamborghini smoking a cigarette and immediately felt vexed. Stupid Thomas, you b*stard! How dare you stand me up?! She got into the car without saying a word.

Thomas stamped out his cigarette, got into the car as well, and drove off to Pearson Group.

He secretly glanced at Olivia and saw that she didn’t look too good. He knew it couldn’t be a physical problem. It had to be an emotional one—it was probably because he didn’t show up last night.

Any woman would be upset that the man she invited had been a no-show, let alone the Most Beautiful Female Entrepreneur in Irieson!

“I’m sorry. Something unexpected came up last night so I couldn’t join your birthday celebration. I was going to call you, but my phone ran out of battery.” Thomas gave a sincere explanation as he drove.

He had kept his phone in his jacket, and it was destroyed by the explosion last night. He couldn’t call Olivia even if he wanted to.

Despite his apology, Olivia’s expression didn’t soften. “It’s fine,” she said icily. “It’s not like you’re anyone important anyway. It didn’t matter whether you came or not. It didn’t change a single thing.”

Even a fool would pick up on the fury and contempt in Olivia’s response!

And, it was my first time inviting a man to my birthday celebration. I even got all dressed up for you, but what did you do, huh? You stood me up
