Chapter 545 Meteor Cried
What Aaron said about wanting to keep me by his side was just a joke in bed
As someone who is extremely passionate about my job, although I don't have workaholic tendencies like Cinder, on a regular workday, I still didn't have any thoughts of taking a day off but rather dragged my tired body out of bed to go to work
After all, once this Monday passed, I would be able to take leave as I had previously told Mr
Marilyn, to prepare the things needed for the children's first birthday party. Before that, if I were to take leave again, I think I would feel embarrassed
Oh... Speaking of Mr. Marilyn, after the incident last time, I have never had any close personal contact with him again
To be honest, in the following days, I deliberately avoided him
Although it was not his fault that those rumors were circulating in the company, the best way to put an end to them was for me to no longer have any contact with Mr. Marilyn outside of work
No, even at work, there were still several senior managers between him and me. I don't think it will happen again in the future, nor will there be any special projects like the last one, which he personally wrote the proposal for
Vincent has not appeared in front of me since he was last driven away by Aaron
Perhaps in his mind, Aaron and I were really a pair of lunatics, one having an extramarital affair and the other infinitely tolerant
Although being falsely accused of infidelity in a marriage 1s extremely infuriating, to be honest, if Vincent could completely disappear from my life because of this, I wouldn't mind him continuing to misunderstand, at least he wouldn't come out and disgust me from time to time like before
Although Aaron didn't say it out loud, I could sense that he still cared a little about the incident when I almost got hurt by Vincent that day
Later on, these days, he voluntarily picked me up and dropped me off at work. When I took a leave to go shopping, he even came back from the office to accompany me
I am also happy to see him like this. After all, the first birthday party is one of the most important milestones in the lives of my two daughters. Although there 1s still some time before their birthday, as a new mom, I am really looking forward to it
If possible, I even wished that everything at the birthday party was personally prepared by Aaron and me as parents, including a small bow on the wall. I wanted to personally choose it for my daughters and didn't want to delegate any task to others
After all, I had already taken leave for this matter, so naturally, I wouldn't entrust it to anyone else
But that evening, just as Aaron and I were shopping for decorations in the mall, the incoming call on my phone suddenly reminded
me of a call from Mr. Marilyn
I glanced at the screen, then looked at Aaron picking out decorative bells next to me, and thought for a moment before declining the call
Yes, I took a leave of absence. I was not obligated to answer my boss's calls during my personal time
I thought like this, put the phone back into the bag, and then shifted my attention to the products in front of me
Mr. Marilyn seemed determined to reach me no matter what, even after I declined his calls. He kept calling one after another until Aaron glanced at me with an inquisitive look
Helplessly, I glanced at the caller ID and then answered the call
I thought that if I refused again, Mr. Marilyn might persistently call again. Instead of that, I might as well ask him what exactly he wanted
Or rather, it would be better if he had something important to do
I politely asked him with a hint of dissatisfaction what he wanted from me, and the person on the other end of the phone seemed embarrassed by it

"Olive, do you have time to come to my house now?"
"Sorry, Mr. Marilyn, I didn't understand what you Were saying."
The moment the phone was answered, Mr
Marilyn made such a request. I almost thought I had misheard and instinctively looked at Aaron
beside me, then questioned him in surprise
"Well, Olive, although I know I shouldn't disturb you while you're on leave, this is a completely personal request. Meteor got sick, and he's crying a lot right now. Neither I nor the nanny can calm him down, he just wants to see you."
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to know that this matter was very difficult to bring up, but after hesitating for a moment, they still told me their request
I was slightly stunned, my mind hadn't yet processed the fact that Mr. Marilyn had revealed how ambiguous it was for "Meteor to cry and look for me", and Aaron took the phone from my hand
"She was not available, we were preparing our
daughter's birthday party and had no time to help you with anything!"
