‘He’s Mr. Russell's driver! Of course, Edward was the one who sent the things for his boss.' It was no wonder Olivia mistook Edward for Lily’s boyfriend.
"Thanks for sending me things just now, Edward,” Lily said after entering the car. She had not seen Edward just now but knew she had to thank him for sending things so late at night.
"You're welcome, Madam," Edward responded to Lily as he glanced at Olivia. Then he turned around and put his hands on the steering wheel.
"By the way, this is Olivia. She's my assistant and best friend," Lily thought she should formally introduce the two, "Liv, this is Alex's assistant, Edward."
Olivia nodded. She noticed Edward was facing forward without looking back, so she leaned over and patted his shoulder, saying, "I'm sorry!"
Edward was taken aback and turned to look at her," What?"
"I didn't know who you were. I thought you were a mole who sneaked into the lab, so I was rude to you. I'm sorry!" Olivia had a carefree personality, and she was not petty. She had a terrible attitude earlier because she thought he was there to steal commercial secrets. She wanted to apologize since it was clearly a misunderstanding.
Besides, Edward was the one who delivered the takeaway she had eaten earlier.
Edward probably did not expect Olivia to apologize. Since a girl had greeted him so kindly and even took the initiative to apologize, he could not justify not responding. It was just that he was not quite used to such a situation, so he nodded stiffly, "D-Don’t worry. It's all right.”
