Chapter 1196

George was bracing himself for an earful, but Oliver didn't explode like he expected. George: Huh?

Something was definitely up with Mr. Oliver.

Could it be Ms. Josefina's influence?

Is love mellowing him out?

George suddenly realized that Oliver and Josefina being together was a brilliant match. They were like two peas in a pod!

"Mr. Oliver, if there's nothing else, I'll just head out," George said, secretly thrilled as he made a swift exit.

With a beaming smile, George looked like he'd just hit the jackpot to anyone passing by.

"George, did you find yourself a sweetheart? That grin is looking pretty smug."

"George, you know it's not spring yet, right?"

Despite the playful teasing, George wasn't bothered in the slightest. In fact, he seemed downright cheerful.

"You guys don't get it. I didn't finish my task, and Mr. Oliver didn't even scold me. Not a single word!"

The secretaries were baffled: Seriously?

George hit the jackpot!

"George, your luck is unreal!"

“George, spill the beans. How did you dodge a dressing down for not finishing your work?"

George grinned, "Don't be too hard on Mr. Oliver. He's really not that bad-tempered. Haven't you noticed? Ever since he's been with Ms. Josefina, he's been a lot calmer."

"You know, you might be onto something there," one of them nodded, pondering.

Everyone started to see George's point.

Being Oliver's secretary had its perks, no doubt.

With a lady boss now in the picture, the future seemed brighter and full of promise.

After saying goodbye to Livia, Josefina decided to pop over to Reid's place.

Halfway there, she spotted Percy through the car window.

Just last night, she and Percy had talked about today's experiment progress, and Percy had promised he'd be in the lab at day, aiming to wrap things up early

So why was he out and about instead of in the lab?

Could he have run into some trouble?

Josefina took out her phone and called Percy.

"Percy, how's the experiment going?" Josefina's voice was as steady as ever, revealing nothing else.

"I'm still at it, not quite done yet."

"You're in the lab, right?" Josefina asked.

Percy hesitated for a moment, then softly confirmed.

Watching him from afar, looking a bit lost, and hearing his voice, Josefina sighed.

"Percy, if you've got something on your mind, you can talk to me. Don't keep it bottled up."

"Josie, I'm really okay, no secret

agenda here Sticking to your plan i definitely the best way to go,” Persÿ said sincerely.

"Alright then, keep at it." Josefina hung up.

Instead of continuing to Oliver's, Josefina decided to follow Percy, curious about what he was really doing.

If Percy needed help, she wouldn't hesitate to step in. After all, they were good friends, and friends had each other's backs.

She instructed the driver to tail Percy for a bit and found out he was heading home.

Why head home at this hour?

What's the big rush?

Josefina called Mandy.

"Mandy, how's it going with Percy? Has he been busy lately?"

"Percy's been swamped. Today, he told me to take a day off from the lab. I joked he might have found an girend, but turns out he's out he's ever." .

No romantic entanglements, so what's got Percy hurrying home like that?
