Cold?
Olivia sneered.
"That's just what's on the surface, don't be fooled."
Although they had only met a few times, based on their short encounter, Olivia thought she had seen all of Sam's true colors.
Then, she realized... Sam was actually kind of cute, especially when his ears got red.
The thing that infuriated her was how he always looked at her as if she wanted to take advantage of him. Whenever they were together, Olivia would often feel like she was a bully whereas Sam was the victim.
Alas.
Sam did not drive. Instead, he called a cab to send them both back first. However, Tiana was especially sly. While Sam called for a cab, she had already called someone from her home to pick her up.
Therefore, she got in her ride and created an opportunity for her best friend. She didn't even invite them to join her ride back. The car drove off as soon as she shut the door.
"Ahem..." Olivia got choked by the exhaust fumes that came out from Tiana's car. She thought while coughing, "How dare this brat run away so quickly. Why won't you drop us off as well since you have a ride? What's the point of calling a cab?"
Little did they know she would leave just like that.
Then, she looked at the person beside her. He actually stood there expressionlessly, as if nothing mattered to him.
Very well, act all snobbish. She could do that too.
Olivia twitched the corner of her lips. She also put on a "don't mess with me" look as she stood there.
Sam later sent Olivia back to the lobby of her apartment. Olivia took out her phone and looked at Sam, "Hey, why don't we add each other's contact?"
Sam hesitated for a moment at first, but before he could say anything, Olivia said, "We're a couple now; it wouldn't hurt to exchange contacts, would it? It's just for convenience sake."
Hearing this, Sam looked at her deeply and corrected, "Not a real couple."
Olivia wanted to roll her eyes.
Seeing him so serious, the corner of her lips twitched and she went along with him, "Alright, fine, it's not real, I got it. You don't have to keep reminding me. Here, do you want to add mine or shall I add yours?"
Sam opened his contacts without any expression and passed his phone to her.
After they successfully added each other, Olivia smiled with satisfaction, "Very well. I'll call you if I need anything. Remember to send me your address; I'll go over tomorrow."
"I know. Go on now."
Only then did Olivia leave with satisfaction.
Sam only looked away after he looked at her back for some time. No one could tell what exactly was on his mind as he looked into the distance.
On the other side, Vera and Quill, who had finished their trip, also returned.
Their return flight was rather late; it was alright midnight when they arrived. Minerva had wanted to pick them up personally, but Maddox did not allow her. He said it was time for her to rest. Besides, Vera was with Quill; he would look after her.
Minerva thought about what he said and eventually agreed.
Vera came back with Quill; why should she go and interrupt the couple? So, Minerva told Vera she would have to go back on her own.
Vera received this message right when she got off the plane. She looked a little upset.
"Minerva, didn't you promise to pick me up? Why aren't you coming anymore?"
"I'm sleepy and want to go to bed early. You should go back on your own."
Vera was at a loss for words for a moment. "You're too realistic."
Minerva retorted, "I'm Realistic? If I were to pick you up, you'd be spending the night with me. If I don't, you'd be going back with Quill. Your choice."
