Getting Him Hooked: Mr. Freeman’s Indifferent Sinner Wife novel Chapter 526

Chapter 526

After looking around to ensure no one was there, Olivia walked to the desk and answered the phone.

“Is this Ms. James speaking?”

“Yes.”

“Mr. M had to go abroad temporarily, and it may take a week for him to return. Please keep the first draft in the room. He will look at it when he comes back and contact you after that.”

Olivia was relieved. “Okay, no problem.”

“He has also prepared a gift for you, Ms. James. It’s on the coffee table. Please take it with you when you leave.”

“A gift?”

“Yes. Mr. M told you not to reject it. It’s a gift from him to you as a friend.

“May I ask who Mr. M is?”

The man on the other end of the phone did not hesitate. He simply refused to answer. “I am sorry. Mr. M has said it’s not the right time to reveal his identity. When the time is right, he will tell you about it, Ms. James.”

The answer was precisely what Olivia expected.

The more this happened, the more she felt like Mr. M was a rich old man.

She guessed he was ill and had gone for treatment.

“Okay, I see. Thank him on my behalf.”

“Okay, Ms. James. I’ll excuse myself now. Bye.”

“Goodbye.”

After hanging up the call, Olivia went to the living room and saw a gift on the coffee table.

After thinking about it, she went forward and opened the package.

To her surprise, it turned out to be a book.

It was a book she had mentioned in passing when they chatted.

However, it was not the usual version being sold on the market, but a rare edition of the original language’s version.

While Olivia was thinking about it, her phone dinged. It was a text message from Mr. M.

[Do you like the gift?]

Isn’t he abroad?”

Xavier smiled and walked over. “I got back at noon and just met a client.”

“A client?”

“Well. Why are you looking at me suspiciously?”

Perhaps because Olivia had not met Mr. M, she was in a bright mood.

She glanced at Xavier and smiled. “You are a rich man. Why would you meet your client in a hotel?”

“Pheebs, it isn’t nice to say that.”

Xavier lowered her head and sighed. “I never thought you would think of me like that. Why would I book a hotel room if I haven’t pursued any woman since I met you?”

Olivia felt embarrassed that she had gone too far with her joke.

“Sorry, that’s not what I meant. I just never see you working, so…”

“I seldom go to work. After all, you said I am a useless rich man, but I can do serious things too.” Then, he looked at Olivia seriously with his beautiful narrow eyes, looking aggrieved.
