Chapter 227: No Office Romance
Not long after, Oliver and the others arrived with worried looks. Especially Oliver.
"Guys! Come in. Have a seat..." Rose called them in.
Her days have been filled with anxiety and fear for the past few days. It was rare for a smile to appear on her face. She misses being around them because only those can make her smile and laugh with their dry humor. She needs them.
When they settle in their seats, Rose’s eyes stop on Oliver. For a slight moment, they stared at each other. She could guess what her best friend was thinking now.
Oliver felt sorry when he saw Rose’s pale face and dull-looking eyes. He knows how close Rose is to her mother. Since childhood, this girl only lived with her mother. She has no father, siblings, or no grandparents. So, if something happened to her mother, he was sure this girl would be experiencing a heavy blow in her life. She will suffer.
Looking at her dull eyes and her forceful smile hurt his heart. He couldn’t help but say, "Friend! I feel sorry for aunty. But, you should believe aunty will wake up soon...." Oliver’s voice sounded cheerless; it was clear from his eyes that he was unfortunate for her.
Rose was speechless.
"Damn, Oliver! Can you stop looking at me like that? I may end up crying now! And you will meet my husband if you make me cry..." Rose glared at him. She already tells Sam to remind them; that they can come to visit her, but they shouldn’t make her sad anymore. And this fool Oliver is trying his best to make her cry!? Gee, he is almost a success.
Oliver swallows hard as she hears Rose warning, "Bwahaha... My pretty Boss looks like you need to wear contact lenses... How could you see the sadness in my eyes? I’m cheerful now, alright!" His fake laugh echoed thru the room. The others glare at him as if they wanted to gag his mouth with flip-flops. He was so noisy in this supposedly quiet hospital.
