Olivia ran away, blushing.
Sam stood rooted to the ground and touched his cheek inexplicably.
She had taken advantage of him matter-of-factly and even ridiculed him to do the same to her. How come she cowered the moment he took action?
It seemed that she was lascivious but not bold, yet she dared pretend to be precocious in front of him.
Who would've thought she was run away as soon as he got a little closer.
After Olivia ran away, Sam didn't even notice there was a faint smile on his lips.
Weil appeared out of nowhere behind Sam and said meaningfully, "It sure is good to be young and energetic. Mr. Sorrento, you have good taste. That girl is so beautiful."
Weil was praising Olivia with a smile on his face.
Sam glanced at him with a faint expression. "Thank you."
Weil raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you admitting it, Assistant Sorrento? Is that girl really your girlfriend?"
"Yes." Sam nodded.
Although he remembered he was only pretending, Weil was close to the Jenkins family. So his answer was also crucial. Otherwise, Olivia would come at him if Weil said something he shouldn't have to the Jenkins family.
"Good, good. Congratulations. Looks like you two have a good relationship. I'm assuming there will be good news soon?" Weil asked.
Sam smiled but said nothing, and Weil did not continue to ask.
When the banquet ended, Weil said something to Pollard, and after Weil and Sam left, Pollard called Karl to him.
"Karl, Ollie has such an influential boyfriend. How can you hide it and not let us know?"
Karl looked puzzled. "Pollard, what are you talking about?"
"Karl, don't act dumb. Do you really want to hide it? Although Mr. Sorrento didn't reveal his identity, I know Arnold Group wants to work with Yardley Corporation. Based on Weil's actions today, he has great respect for Mr. Sorrento. It's obvious Mr. Sorrento's identity is not that simple."
Karl still didn't know what Pollard wanted to say, "But, what does this have to do with Ollie? Oh, are you trying to say she knows him? Didn't Mr.
Sorrento say they're just friends?"
"You believe that? Think about his expression when he said that. I saw him hesitate before saying it. Also, I heard from Mr. Arnold that he likes Ollie."
"Huh?" Karl was very confused. "If that's the case, then why did he..."
"It must be that Ollie hasn't introduced him to us yet, so he doesn't dare say recklessly. This proves Mr. Sorrento cares about Ollie's feelings very much."
Karl was confused by Pollard's words; he really didn't know what was going on.
Pollard patted him on the shoulder and said with a pleased face, "Not bad, Karl. You've raised a good daughter. Help me ask if Mr. Sorrento is free in the next few days. We should treat him to a meal."
Karl was dumbfounded.
Karl was still confused after the banquet had ended and everyone had gone home. Were his daughter and Sam really a couple?
However, when Karl was about to have a proper chat with his daughter, he was told Olivia had already left.
Olivia had planned to take a taxi and run away first because she knew many people who'd ask her questions at the end of the banquet, so she had to leave quickly.
However, as soon as she walked to the road, a car stopped in front of her, and then the window rolled down. Sam's face appeared in front of her.
