Chapter 397: Unavoidable
Olivia naturally wouldn’t mention anything about her and Victor to him.
But aside from that, she indeed had no reason to refuse a ride from Victor.
After some consideration, Olivia finally agreed, slowing her pace to walk alongside Isaac.
As they reached the parking lot entrance, they immediately spotted Victor not far away.
The man was dressed in a black trench coat, standing tall by the car, looking in their direction. When he saw the person next to Isaac, his eyes seemed to darken slightly.
“Why aren’t you waiting in the car? It’s quite cold,” Isaac said in a casual greeting.
Victor simply replied, “Get in.”
With that, he glanced briefly at Olivia before bending down to get into the car.
Olivia had already prepared herself to take his ride, but for some reason, seeing Victor made her feel a bit apprehensive.
Now standing by the car, she found it hard to move her feet.
Isaac noticed her hesitation and urged, “Dr. Prescott, get in the car.”
Olivia snapped back to reality, not wanting him to notice anything unusual. She nodded noncommittally and walked towards the front passenger seat.
Since she had to share a car with Victor, she wanted to avoid as much interaction with him as possible.
However, just as she lifted her foot, Isaac had already opened the front passenger door and said nonchalantly, “It’s too cramped for us two men in the back. Dr. Prescott, you can sit with Victor for a while.”
With that, he bent down and got into the car.
For a moment, only Olivia was left standing outside, looking at the back seat, unable to move forward or backward.
She couldn’t help but feel that everything happening tonight was too coincidental.
Isaac was also acting very strangely.
It was as if all of this had been arranged by him.
If she didn’t know that Isaac was unaware of her relationship with Victor, Olivia would almost be certain that this was all Isaac’s doing.
After standing outside for a few seconds, Olivia finally mustered up the courage to walk around to the other side and got into the car.
Once inside, Olivia instinctively glanced at the person next to her.
Victor seemed to have had too much to drink. He looked a bit lazy, leaning against the seat back with one hand lazily supporting his temple. His eyes were half-closed, and he didn’t react when she got in.
Seeing this, Olivia secretly breathed a sigh of relief and tried to stay as close to the window as possible to keep her distance from him.
The car slowly started moving.
Olivia silently rejoiced that she would get off before Isaac, so it wouldn’t be too awkward.
Unexpectedly, as the car passed an intersection, Isaac suddenly spoke up, “I just remembered I have something to do nearby. Let me off here.”NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Hearing this, Olivia’s heart tightened.
There was still a long way to go before she reached home. If Isaac got off here, she would inevitably have to face Victor alone…
Thinking of this, Olivia wished she could get off with Isaac right there.
But that would seem too deliberate.
While she hesitated, Isaac had already opened the car door and got out. He didn’t forget to remind Victor, “Dr. Prescott is in your hands. Make sure she gets home safely.”
Victor nodded noncommittally.
Isaac then smiled at Olivia and said, “Dr. Prescott, let me know when you get home so I can report back to my grandfather.”
Olivia stiffly agreed.
The car door closed, and the vehicle slowly started moving again.
