Chapter 121
“Is there something you’re craving?”
Olivia didn’t know who she’d be having dinner with. This was the first time she was going on business dinners with him, so she quietly said, “Can we order more food?”
He looked at her. “We can get whatever you want.”
Olivia thought for a moment. “I don’t really have any cravings.”
Tyler didn’t want to push her. “Okay, we’ll just pick something when we get there.”
The car pulled up at a fancy restaurant near the university, and Olivia followed Tyler into the elevator. His secretary was there too, so Olivia stood quietly beside him while he kept his eyes on the doors.
Glancing up, Olivia caught Tyler staring at her reflection in the elevator door, so she quickly looked away. He seemed unfazed.
When the doors opened, Tyler stepped out first, and after a gentle reminder from the secretary, Olivia
followed suit.
Olivia had assumed it was just a simple dinner and she’d be able to leave afterward. But when she entered the room and saw the lecturers and the dean, she froze.
Tyler, who was walking ahead of her, noticed and paused to look at her. Olivia tried to act normal and
sat down next to him.
For Tyler, this was just a regular business dinner, and he had chosen a place near Olivia’s university
for her convenience.
Seeing how nervous she was, he spoke quietly. “This is just a casual dinner. You can head back to the lab after. Don’t worry too much about it.”
Olivia didn’t know who she was supposed to be among the dean and lecturers, but they knew who she was. After the previous rumor, everyone knew she was associated with Tyler.
The dean greeted her, “Ms. Olivia, a toast to you, but don’t be pressured to drink,”
Stunned, Olivia sat next to Tyler while the dean downed his drink in one gulp. Unsure how to respond, Tyler intervened. “It’s just dinner, don’t worry about her.”
The dean smiled at Tyler’s remark. “Of course! Someone you bring along must be important.” The dean was very polite.
Tyler replied, “She’s just a student at your university, so she should be the one toasting you. But she can’t drink, so please excuse her.”
The dean quickly reassured, “No problem. We wouldn’t make her drink. ”
Tyler smiled, and the dean took his seat. Despite telling the dean not to focus too much on Olivia,

Tyler still instructed the restaurant manager to give her the menu, saying, “Order anything you want.
Olivia never imagined dining with the dean, let alone receiving a toast from him, especially since she didn’t even drink.
After a moment, she took the menu, and Tyler shifted his attention away from her.
However, one of the lecturers remarked, “Ms. Olivia is one of the top students in our school. Not surprising since she’s Naomi’s sister.”
Tyler didn’t respond to that.
Another lecturer said, “Naomi was always at the top of her class when she was here, a perfect match for you. She’s also amazing at playing the piano. She always performs at our annual fundraiser.”
