"I can’t tell you much about him because I don’t know much about him myself."
Scarlett Jennings was clearly not satisfied with this answer,
"You say he’s a friend of yours, but you don’t seem like the kind of person who would consider someone you’re not familiar with as a friend."
Whether it was from her appearance or the impression she gave, Oliver White was clearly a self-aware and independent career-oriented woman.
Scarlett Jennings didn’t believe that someone like her would casually make friends with people.
Especially not to the extent of leaving work just to deliver a gift for him.
This is not the kind of relationship ordinary friends would have.
"You’re right, so you should understand that since he asked me to deliver the gift instead of coming himself, it means he doesn’t want you to know his identity."
Oliver White paused for a moment, smiled at her casually, and then added,
"At least he doesn’t want you to know right now."
Scarlett Jennings frowned at these words, but since she was here, she couldn’t just give up because of a couple of sentences, so she changed her approach,
"Then I won’t ask you. Can you help me contact Mr. Wen and tell him I want to meet him?"
Hearing her request, Oliver White remained still, instead leaning back leisurely in her chair, then outright refusing.
"No."
Oliver White looked at Scarlett Jennings, raised an eyebrow, and asked her bluntly,
"Why should I help you?"
I’m a businesswoman. Even though our two families aren’t very close, your brother Donovan Jennings has to call me Sister Oliver.
From the moment you walked in until now, you haven’t even called me sister, so why should I help you contact someone?"
Scarlett Jennings: ...
Even Scarlett Jennings found herself momentarily speechless at Oliver White’s unexpected attitude.
She thought for a moment, then seriously offered her counter-offer,
"If you help me contact him, in exchange, I will also help you with something, as long as it doesn’t violate the Mystical Sect’s rules."
Oliver White seemed slightly interested at this, but didn’t immediately respond, simply fixed her gaze on Scarlett.
Scarlett Jennings was silent for a while, hesitating before adding,
"Sister Oliver."
Upon hearing this, Oliver White finally revealed a satisfied smile and agreed, "Deal."
Just as the two finished their conversation, the assistant knocked on the door and came in with milk tea.
Accompanied by a young man with gold-rimmed glasses, who seemed slightly surprised to see Scarlett Jennings, but quickly smiled and said,
"Since my cousin has a guest, I’ll come back later."
Oliver White made no objection, merely waved her hand at the man, not inviting him to stay.
The man then left the office, not forgetting to give the assistant a gentle smile on his way out.
Scarlett Jennings glanced at the man, then at the assistant, her almond-shaped eyes narrowing slightly as she turned to Oliver White,
"I might be able to help you right now."
Oliver White took the coffee handed over by the assistant and looked at Scarlett Jennings in surprise, connecting the dots to the fact that her cousin Liam White had just been there, raising an eyebrow,
"Something to do with my cousin?"
Scarlett Jennings nodded, "It involves your cousin and your assistant."
Harper Chavez, who was planning to leave, froze at the mention of herself, an unnatural expression crossing her face.
As expected, Scarlett Jennings continued,
"Your cousin and your assistant are in a relationship."
Upon hearing this, Oliver White’s expression slightly cooled, but she didn’t reveal any particular emotion.
However, Harper Chavez’s expression showed clear panic as she hurriedly turned to explain to Oliver White,
"Vice President, although I’m dating Director White, I assure you I’ve never leaked any information from this side! I can swear!"
Oliver White glanced at her indifferently and simply said,
She should probably leave, but since White and Miss Jennings were clearly discussing her and Director White, she wasn’t sure if she should leave without being told.
With mounting apprehension, Scarlett Jennings accepted the money and began speaking, her first sentence dispelling any notion of power struggles amongst the elite,
"Your cousin dating your assistant isn’t aimed at you."
She looked at Harper Chavez and suddenly asked,
"In your relationship, he pursued you first, right?"
Harper Chavez glanced cautiously at Oliver White, then nodded, "Yes, but I didn’t agree to it at first."
After graduating, Harper Chavez started working at White Stone as Oliver White’s assistant for more than two years.
She was always clear about her position as an assistant, so when Liam White approached and confessed to her, she straightforwardly rejected him.
No matter what his intentions were, Harper Chavez wouldn’t develop further with him.
She had her own career plans and wasn’t fantasizing about a domineering CEO falling in love with her.
But she clearly underestimated Liam White’s "sincerity."
Liam White began pursuing her in private, showering her with all sorts of care and attention without crossing the line publicly to put her in a difficult position.
This was why Oliver White hadn’t noticed any contact between them right under her nose.
The real turning point came six months ago when Harper Chavez had a sudden appendicitis attack during a typhoon warning, and he braved the storm to find her and take her to the hospital.
Harper Chavez was young, and faced with such thoughtful and gentle behavior, it was inevitable she began to fall for him.
"We officially started dating three months ago, but during this time, neither of us has talked about work, nor has he ever asked about it."
Harper Chavez tried to assure Oliver White.
Oliver White remained noncommittal, but Scarlett Jennings nodded,
"That’s because from the start, his target wasn’t Sister Oliver, it was you."
Scarlett Jennings said, 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
"You might not know, but you and Sister Oliver are related by blood."
