Chapter 156 The Unexpected Embrace
Finished
Before coming to the tech park, Olivia had a lot of confidence in the system she had created. However, after spending half a day there, she realized that her system might not be able to meet the demands of Carter Group.
In the future, numerous tech companies would join the park, and the current system might not be able to handle the load.
Further refinement was necessary.
Olivia’s mind was filled with various data. She was so engrossed in her calculations that she didn’t pay attention while walking.
As she descended the stairs, she missed a step.
“Ah!” she exclaimed in surprise.
At that moment, a strong arm wrapped around her waist, swiftly pulling her into a warm embrace.
The clean, crisp scent filled her nostrils. She lifted her head, meeting Nathan’s gaze.
For a moment, she didn’t react.
Their eyes met.
They were in such proximity that he could distinctly discern each eyelash of hers and the bewilderment in her eyes.
Everything around them seemed to quiet down, leaving them as the only two people in the world.
Nathan furrowed his brows right then, wondering how her waist could be so slender.
She was indeed thin, but he hadn’t anticipated her waist to be so thin that it seemed like he could break it with just a bit of force.
“Are you all right?”
A familiar deep voice resonated in her ear. She blinked, finally understanding her situation. She realized she was in Nathan’s arms.
Her breath hitched.
She quickly pulled away from his grasp. She lowered her head in discomfort and tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
“I’m sorry,” she whispered her apology.
She was a bit frustrated with herself, as she wouldn’t have nearly fallen if she had just walked properly.
Nathan didn’t say much. He remarked in a casual tone, “Watch your step when you walk.”
In truth, he had noticed her, all by herself, lost in her thoughts. She had seemed so engrossed that he didn’t want to interrupt her. Little did he know she would end up missing a step.

Her train of thought was disrupted. By the time she arrived at the restaurant and ordered her meal, she was still unable to regain her previous line of thought.
This left her feeling somewhat defeated.
Throughout the meal, she remained silent as she ate.
Seeing this, Nathan said, “Eat more.”
Olivia glanced up at him, nodding slightly to show she understood.
Truthfully, she didn’t even know what she was eating. Her mind was preoccupied with the thought of rushing back to the office. She wanted to perfect the system as quickly as possible.
After all, this was Horizon Ventures‘ first collaboration within the country. It had to be executed flawlessly.
After finishing their meal and stepping out of the restaurant, Nathan raised an eyebrow and asked, “Shall we continue our stroll?”
Glancing at her wristwatch, Olivia noted that it was already past one o’clock.
She shook her head. “That’s enough for me.”
Nathan was not surprised. Throughout the meal, she had seemed perpetually distracted.
“All right, then. If you plan on coming here again, just let me know in advance.”
Olivia revealed a rare smile, saying, “All right, thank you for the trouble today.”
It’s no trouble at all!
A glimmer flickered in Nathan’s eyes. When it came to her, the word “trouble” simply did not exist. “By the way, after observing today, I’ve formed a precise understanding of the system,” Olivia said. “Once I get back, I’ll promptly upgrade the system and do my utmost to meet your expectations, Mr. Carter.”
Under the sunlight, her fair and delicate face radiated confidence. She was exceptionally radiant, so mesmerizing that one couldn’t take their eyes off her.
“All right,” Nathan said faintly.
Looking at her, he felt an inexplicable desire for time to slow down. He wished she could stay a little longer.
