Chapter 5 Josiah

Today was the day that Olivia's mother asked her to go back. She was upset and helpless. Although she was extremely unwilling, she had to obey her mother's will. Forget it. Anyway, her life was within her expectation. Just like tonight, it was just a routine as usual!

"Mr. Josiah?" When Olivia turned around and was about to go home, she saw Josiah leaning against the opposite corner, with his hands in his trouser pockets, watching her close the door lazily. Facing him, Olivia found herself at a loss.

"Where are you going?" Josiah curled his lips and asked with dissatisfaction. Josiah had planned to come here for dinner, but it seemed that his wish could not be fulfilled. What a pity! He had tasted Olivia's cooking by accident that day, and he found that he liked the taste that chefs couldn't cook.

"Go home." After closing the door, Olivia slowly walked up to him. His height forced her to raise her head to see his face. "Are you looking for Freya? She will go to her own home today, not here! " Freya must be crazy with joy after she knew Josiah to come for her! But unfortunately, he finally came to Freya, but she was not there! If Freya had known it, she would have regretted it! Thinking of her funny looks, Olivia burst into laughter.

"No." Josiah curled his lips and gave her a cold look. He stood straight and turned to the elevator. Since there was no food to eat, he was about to leave. Was it necessary to stand here and see her giggle?

"Oh." Olivia had no interest in knowing why he was here, so she didn't ask. Olivia just followed him quietly and waited for the elevator. But if he didn't come here to look for Freya, then he was... Olivia really couldn't figure out the reason why he came here. What a strange person!

"Have you eaten yet?" He thought she would ask him why, but he didn't expect that she just said "Oh" and then nothing more. Josiah couldn't help but feel curious about this girl. Didn't she feel strange? He came here not for Freya, but for her. Why didn't she ask?

"Not yet. I'm going home to cook." Olivia smiled bitterly. Yes, she went home to cook for those she didn't want to see but had to see. Maybe the rest of her life would be in the hands of the person who she cooked for tonight. For such a fate, she was powerless, and also powerless to resist. No matter how reluctant she was, she had no right to control her own fate.

"Don't go back if you are unhappy." As if Josiah could see through her mind, he spoke out her mind effortlessly.

Josiah had no idea what was on her minds. She didn't want to do it, but she had to do it. Was it necessary? She looked dejected. Did someone threat her?

"You..." Olivia looked at the man in surprise. She had thought that he was just a man who cared about himself. She didn't expect him to be so thoughtful! Why did he know what she was thinking so easily? Were her emotions written on her face? Did he know how to read people's minds?

"Are you going to take the stairs?" Standing in the elevator and looking at the absent-minded Olivia, Josiah frowned. Was it necessary to be so surprised? Her mind was written on her face. Wasn't it easy to see it? He was not God and didn't know how to read people's minds. If she could hide it a little, he wouldn't know.

"Uh... I'm sorry! " Olivia hurried into the elevator. It was 12 floors. She was wearing high heels. If she took the stairs, her two legs would be broken.!

"I'm starving to death..." Josiah muttered. He hadn't eaten anything since this morning, and was tired and hungry after a whole day's meeting. He had planned to have dinner here, but he didn't expect it to be so unlucky! He had to go back G Hotel. If he had known it earlier...

"What?" Olivia didn't hear what he was talking about and asked in confusion.

"Give me your phone." Josiah stretched out his hand to her and said unexpectedly. In this way, if he came to her place for dinner in the future, he would call her first to inform her, in case that he would be as boring as tonight!

"What?" What do you mean? Why did she give him her phone? Was he going to call her? The more Olivia heard, the more confused she became. She took out her phone and handed it to him, while staring at him dialing a familiar number.

"This is my phone number. I will call you first when I come here for dinner in the future, in case I come here in vain!" He dialed his own phone and returned it to her when it rang. Then he acted as if he had told his servant.

"Okay." No... Was there such a person? As if she owed him... She was too embarrassed to refuse him, which was very impolite, so she had to agree with him with a smile. But he wouldn't really come to her house for dinner, would he? She remembered that Freya had told her that he usually didn't eat the food that others cooked except for the food cooked by five star hotels. So, he should just say it casually!

"Don't tell Freya that I will come here for dinner." He didn't want to be stared at during the meal, which would affect his appetite.

"Okay." Olivia couldn't help but feel sorry for her friend. Freya loved him so much, but he avoided her like this. If he really didn't like her, he should tell her! Why did he keep Freya's hope! "Why don't you like her?" If Freya was not her best friend, she would not bother to ask.

"Are you doing this for your curiosity or for Freya?" Josiah just glanced at her and did not answer her question.

"Both!" She smiled frankly, feeling a little embarrassed. She was indeed very curious. A girl like Freya, who was beautiful, talented and from a rich family, many boys pursued her, but he disdained her heart. Then what kind of girl did he want?

"Do you like me?" All of a sudden, Josiah bowed his head and looked into her eyes. There was an evil smile on his face.

"You... What are you talking about? " Olivia didn't expect that he would suddenly get so close to her. She could clearly feel the warm breath from his nose on her face. For a moment, she couldn't react and could only look at him blankly. And his question was like a bomb in her mind, exploding her mind into a blank.

"Didn't you hear it clearly?" He seldom looked at a woman so closely. He never knew that a person's skin could be so delicate, smooth and flawless. At this moment, she raised her head, with a confused look in her eyes and her small mouth slightly open, as if she was seducing him. This feeling... Josiah squinted his eyes and touched her delicate face with his slender fingers. The touch on his hand fascinated him.

"I don't understand!" His cold body temperature from his fingertips made her tremble a little, and her brain instantly returned to normal. She suddenly came to her senses, pushed him away with great strength, and took three steps back. She stopped in the farthest corner from him, and looked at him warily. The air in the elevator seemed to have been sucked out all of a sudden, and she could not breathe fast.

Oh my God! What was she thinking just now!? This man was really dangerous. Just getting close to him would make her lose consciousness and lose the ability to control herself! At that moment, she was expecting him to kiss her... No, no! Even if she had such an idea, she would feel sorry for Freya! What was she thinking about?! ! !

"Hmm..." Josiah looked at his fingers and found that they still had her temperature. Josiah kept silent for a while and looked at her. "Don't be afraid. I'm not interested in you." After saying that, he smiled. Indeed, he was only interested in her cooking.

"I don't like you!" Leaning against the corner of the wall, Olivia stared at the number on the elevator and bit her lower lip. She did not answer his question, but did not dare to look at him again. Why did the elevator take so long today?

"Why?" Was she answering his question or telling herself? It sounded like she was swearing? Interesting. Did she really have a crush on him? Although he hoped that he could go to her house for dinner freely in the future, he absolutely didn't want her to have any improper thoughts about him.

"No why?" Oh, she understood why he suddenly asked her this question. Her answer was exactly the answer why he didn't like Freya. "Didn't you two grow up together?" This was what Freya told her. She had always liked Josiah since she was six years old, which was known to their families. In everyone's eye, they acquiesced in their marriage when they grew up. But today, his idea for Freya confused her.

"Who says that we must like each other?" As soon as the elevator door opened, Josiah walked out first and sniffed at her question, as if she had asked a stupid question.

"But..." Olivia murmured. Yes, it was not that they had to love each other although they grew up together! But what did he dislike about Freya? In terms of beauty, figure and family background, Freya deserved him at all!

"Let me drive you home." Josiah interrupted her impatiently. He had heard a lot of such questions, and he really didn't want to repeat the answer to different people. Besides, he was very hungry now! He really didn't know what this woman was doing. Why did she care about other people's business? It should be Freya who should ask this to him, not her!

"No, I can go there by bike." Cassie refused his kindness. She warned herself to stay away from him. She couldn't afford to offend him! She didn't want to use him to test her concentration at all. Just a few minutes ago, she was on the verge of collapse.

"Bike?" He looked her up and down, but couldn't feel that she could do sports! "Where is your home?" If it was downtown, why would she rent an apartment? Josiah didn't think it was close.

"West Road." She didn't think it was bad. She went to school by bike, bought vegetables and went home every day. She didn't think it was bad.

"Let's go." Without saying anything more, Josiah took her hand and walked towards his car. It would take at least 30 minutes to get to West Road by bike? He didn't know why she was so powerful.

"I really don't need it. I can ride by myself!" Olivia struggled hard to break free from his hand, but only to make her wrist more painful and annoyed. Was she familiar with him? Who the hell was he to her? Why did he care so much about her! Didn't she make it clear? There were so many people riding a bike in the world. Why didn't he give them a ride? Maybe others would thank him for his kindness!

"I'm really hungry. Can you stop wasting my time?" Josiah pushed her into the car and sat on the driver's seat. He glanced at her with his last patience. His tightly frowned eyebrows and cold eyes made her shut up sensible. He start the car and drive away at full speed.
