The Innocent Wife of Scheming President

Chapter 442: A Compromise

“Yes, I won’t leave anymore. Next semester, a new teacher will take over my job. My parents are old now and not in good health. I’ve stayed here for several years already, it’s time to go back and take care of them.”

There was some hint of reluctance in Flora’s voice and she was a little blaming herself. But she soon changed into a ridiculous tone.

“You’re a celebrity now. When I seek you for shelter, you can’t not care me. I’ve been in Galawan for so many years that I’m afraid I’m a bit unable to keep up with the pace of city life. I’ve lost everything I learnt back then. I don’t even know whether I can find a job to support myself.”

Olive laughed, “How can you not find a job with your ability? If you’re willing, come and work with at Angel Hotel.”

“Okay. If I can’t find a job, I’ll really come to you. It’s great to have an influential person. It’s good that you’re the president now. Since we’re best friends, you’ll never treat me unfairly, right?”

Flora was laughing and joking on the phone, making Olive to rebuke, “You really like to tease me. When you come back, call me first. Chloe and I will go to the station to pick you up.”

“Okay. I’ll call you too even if you don’t say it. Don’t forget to drive a Lamborghini or something so that I can also taste what it’s like to sit a luxury car.”

“You tease me again. Alan doesn’t like driving luxury cars and is relatively a low-profile person. So, I can’t satisfy you with a Lamborghini!”

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a Lamborghini, just ask your man to treat me to a few big meals. I want to have a seafood feast, a sumptuous feast, and I’ve been thinking a classic steak for a long time.”

Through the long phone line, Olive could see the image of a woman with twinkling eyes and drooling. She laughed, “Those who don’t know will think that you were just released from prison.”

“Hey, how come it’s like I just come out of prison here? I was the one who fled. I really feel that the children here are pitiful. I don’t see meaty meals throughout the year. They’re all like carrots.” Flora always felt a sense of pity and helplessness whenever she talked about the children in the mountains.

Olive was touched, “Flora, I suddenly have an idea.”

“What?”

“I now have 10% shares of the Angel Hotel. I want to use 7% of the annual dividends to set up a charity fund to help those children in need. After you come back, run and manage this fund for me. What do you think?”

Those shares weren’t what she wanted to accept initially. Now, as Flora accidentally reminded her, she felt that they could be used to do some good deeds, taking it as to accumulate the old man’s kindness a little.

Flora gaped, “You’re not joking with me, are you?” Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“Do I look like I’m joking? Or, you don’t want to?” Olive wanted to roll her eyes at her. Too bad, she could only hear her and couldn’t see her for the time being.

“Says who? I’m simply delighted. But, you have to pay me a salary because I’m working for you.” After an excited shout, Flora returned to her joke.

“You!” Olive helplessly laughed. “When you come back, we’ll discuss the details.”

“Okay, okay. It’s better to get your man to sponsor more. Good people are rewarded,” Flora chuckled.

After ending the call with Flora, Olive called Alan and shared her thoughts with him.

Thinking about it, she thought that she wasn’t familiar with the fund. She needed to find someone who knew about this and gave her some advices. And he felt omnipotent in her eyes. He knew a lot and coupled with a bunch of capable people under him. It seemed there weren’t many problems that could hold him back.

With such a powerful man as a backing, she wasn’t afraid in managing the hotel. Her decision and actions had always been clean and efficient.

Flora was right. It was great to have an influential person. She was actually in his light.

Alan was a little surprised by her decision, but didn’t object. What he wasn’t lack most of was money and he was even willing to raise a millet bug, but she disagreed.

Many women in front of men liked to declare: Yours was mine, but mine was still mine. He didn’t mind if his wife said that to him. But obviously, in her eyes, his property didn’t have that big of concept.

Therefore, when he heard her easily say that she would use 7% of her shares to run a charity fund, he didn’t feel particularly surprised. He just didn’t expect she would handle it like this.

As his wife wanted to do so, he naturally supported her. He even said, “I’ll ask a few people who know how to operate to assist your friend’s later.”

She had never thought to want the Geve’s money, so he never thought about it. He also didn’t ask her about the rest 3%. As long as she was happy, she could do whatever she wanted.

“Thank you, honey.” It was good to have a husband who knew everything that they could be solved easily.

“Silly girl. You always thank your husband. I’ll get angry if you say thank you again,” Alan pretended to be upset.

“Then no thank you, hehe,” Olive made a face, then hung up.

Not long after the phone call was ended, Flora called her again.

“Olive, what kind of dress should I wear on your wedding dress? I heard from Chloe that your man has crossed the ocean and asked a world-renowned designer master to make a tailor-made, unique wedding dress in the world for you. We couldn’t afford to wear a big brand, but we also can’t wear too shabby to embarrass you, right? I still count on looking dazzling behind you and find a son-in-law to bring home.”

Olive snorted indifferently, “If you really want to find a son-in-law, you won’t run to that poor mountain which you stayed there for five to six years.”

But when it came to bridesmaids dresses, she had an idea.

Flora was pulling a long face, “My mother has already given me a death order. If I don’t get one for her this year, she won’t allow me to enter the house.”

“You should really start to think about your own problem. Chloe has fallen in love for the second time now, and you’re still alone. I’m worried.”

“Really?” Flora exclaimed, “Who? She called but never mentioned a word. This woman is too disloyal. See how I’ll deal with her later when I return. Tell me, who has she found?”

“Hoyle’s third young master. He keeps pestering her and they have become sweethearts. Unfortunately, the Hoyle doesn’t have a third son. Otherwise, I’ll also introduce one to you. How good it is if we three become sisters-in-law,” Olive said with a little regret.

“Nope. I heard from Chloe that your mother-in-law has a harsh persona. I’d better void it. Even if she has a third son, I dare not want it. If there are other young, handsome and talented men around you, you can consider introducing them to me.”

The two people joked for a while on the phone before hanging up.

Olive put her slightly hot phone aside and wasn’t in a hurry to start working. After thinking for a moment, she told Chloe about her thoughts, then the two hit it off.

Chloe said, “Of course I’ve no objections. Being able to wear the dress designed by the old witch’s daughter to attend her son’s wedding will make her feel the feeling of a betrayal of the audience. I feel very excited when I think about it. I really look forward to her wonderful expression.”

“You!” Olive didn’t even know how to talk to her. On this topic, she was always aggressive. Looking at her relentless manner, it was actually just to prevent herself from getting hurt. She felt a little bad for her and a little disagreed with her negative behavior.

“It’s another matter whether Ada accepts or not.”

“How could she not accept? This is a great opportunity to promote her brand. Your man doesn’t plan to hold a secret wedding with you. It must be a luxurious grand. Even if she can’t make you a wedding dress, she can design a few bridesmaids’ dresses. Although they wouldn’t be as eye-catching as yours, they will definitely appear a lot in the camera too. And I can see that she likes you quite a lot, so tell her and she’ll absolutely not refuse.” Chloe smelled a little instigating.

“She doesn’t hate you either. Why not you say it?” Olive asked in return.

“Hey, who is the bridesmaid for whom? Your man made such a big move for you to make a one of a kind wedding dress and didn’t handle the bridesmaids’ clothes at the same time. What a stingy person.

How can you ask me, a poor person, find a dress that matches? I don’t care. Because your man doesn’t handle it for me, you handle it for me.”

Chloe purposely made trouble that Olive couldn’t help teasing her, “It doesn’t matter if you’re poor, but there is someone who isn’t. He must be happy to help you asking a world-class designer to measure your body, making a customize dress for you shouldn’t be difficult.”

“What’s it to do with him? This is a matter between us sisters. It has nothing to do with him.”

Olive rolled her eyes. You two had developed to such an extent that it was a bit hypocritical to say it had nothing to do with him.

In the afternoon, after much deliberation, Olive called Ada in the end.

“Ada, I want to discuss something with you.”

Ada was quick, “Just tell me if you need anything, sis.”

“About the wedding dress, because of your brother…”

Before she could finish, Ada interrupted her with a laughed, “Hey, I understand. Alan spoils you is a must. Don’t worry that I’ll be jealous. To be honest, I also want to see my idol’s exceptional work this time.”

She misunderstood what Olive meant.

“I want to say that there wouldn’t be a lot of wedding dress to take a wedding photo. I would like you to design the rest. And I would like to invite you and your team to design a few bridesmaids’ dresses, but I don’t know if you have the time.” In the morning, Olive didn’t miss the loss in Ada’s eyes. Although she was giggling, Olive could see it. She thought this way was a compromise.

“I can. Didn’t Alan say that your wedding is scheduled in Valentine’s Day? I’ll make the wedding dresses for your photos to let you take beautiful commemorative photos. You can tell me what style you like, I’ll design it. I just don’t know if Alan will agree. He looks down on my skills.”

“Don’t worry. He’ll agree if I say okay.”

“Then sis, if the wedding photos are displayed at the wedding, can you put mine and my idol’s together?”

Olive laughed, “If you want, you can arrange the wedding.”

“Really?” Ada exclaimed.

Olive groaned, “Would I lie?”

“Then you have to do ideological work with my brother. He doesn’t trust me.” It was so easy to talk with Olive, but her elder brother was a bit unkind.

“No problem.”

“It’ll be great if my brother can invite Gaston to the wedding. If he can’t be my teacher, I have to hire him to be the design director of our company. I’ve been longing for my idol for many years.”
