How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire-Chapter 133 -

Chapter 133 -133

The elevator had arrived.

Kiera Olsen stepped out of the elevator and was heading toward the reserved private room.

Charles Riley swallowed, hurriedly took a few quick steps to catch up with her, still in disbelief and wanting to confirm something, yet not knowing what to say.

It was then he realized that when someone is very surprised, they actually find it hard to speak.

Charles pointed at his phone, then at Kiera Olsen.

Kiera Olsen smiled at him kindly, and Charles, looking a bit silly, followed her into the private room.

The Horton Family held a solid position in Oceanion. The Emperor Palace Hotel was one of the Horton Group’s enterprises, so it was very easy for Jake Horton to reserve a VIP private room here.

Their large private room featured a huge table that could seat twenty to thirty people.

When Kiera Olsen entered the room, there were already more than ten people sitting down.

These people had all graduated this year, so their discussions centered on work matters, rather than the trivial gossip of parents and relatives.

As Kiera Olsen and Charles entered the room, it immediately quieted down.

All the men’s gazes landed on Kiera Olsen.

After all, during their school days, this “flower on a high peak” was too aloof and not easily approachable. There were only legends about her in the class. The only person who could have a few words with her was Jake Horton.

It could be said that Kiera Olsen was considered the goddess in many male students’ hearts.

Now, seeing Charles come in with Kiera Olsen and the way he was staring blankly and following behind her like a lost puppy before suddenly realizing something when she stopped by a chair, he hurried to pull it out for her: “Please… please take a seat.”

This was his boss, the company owner!

Charles’s actions, however, led to a misunderstanding among the crowd, and they began teasing:

“Charles, what’s your relationship with your classmate Kiera Olsen?”

“How come you two arrived together? Tell us, what happened after graduation that we don’t know about?”

Charles immediately gestured with his hands in panic: “Don’t talk nonsense!”

A scandal between him and Dr. South?!

He was not worthy!

Leaving those words behind, Charles took a seat next to Kiera Olsen.

He couldn’t miss this chance to get on good terms with the boss.

One of the girls named Erin Davis had been watching them since they entered. She had liked Charles since their school days. They were WhatsApp friends, and the communication had been frequent and flirty over the past two months.

At this moment, seeing Charles so attentive to Kiera Olsen, Erin Davis couldn’t stand it anymore.

She said sarcastically: “Kiera Olsen, I heard from Isla Olsen that you haven’t found a job yet?”

Kiera Olsen raised her eyebrows towards her but said nothing.

Erin Davis continued: “You don’t have to be embarrassed. There are so many classmates here today; if you haven’t found a job, you could ask everyone to help introduce you to some opportunities~ Oh, by the way, our company’s receptionist just resigned, and we’re hiring. Do you want to give it a try?”

Kiera Olsen frowned.

Charles interjected: “What are you talking about? How could Kiera… I mean, how could a classmate like her take on a receptionist position!”

Erin Davis immediately sneered: “What? Do you look down on receptionists? It’s a proper job! Besides, do you think being a receptionist is that easy?”

Charles quickly explained: “That’s not what I mean. It’s just that her major and the receptionist job don’t align!”

“But isn’t she not finding a job because she’s not great in her major? Kiera Olsen has an advantage, though. She’s pretty; she can be the face of the company, right? I’m just trying to be helpful. After all, it’s been over two months since graduation. Doesn’t Kiera Olsen feel the pressure to provide for her family?”

Kiera Olsen scrunched her eyebrows and chuckled coldly: “I don’t need you to worry about my affairs.”

She knew that at this kind of class reunion, she was bound to be ostracized.

After all, when she had been in university, Isla had transferred into the class and did bring about her isolation from the other female classmates.

But today was Professor Miller’s birthday. He was like a mentor and a father figure to her. She had to be there.

With Kiera Olsen’s icy demeanor, her response silenced Erin who, almost immediately, became somewhat angry. Erin said, with a mock soothing tone: “I overstepped, apologies. I just see you struggling to find a job and got worried for you. Since you don’t appreciate it, let’s forget it!”

Another male student also felt Kiera Olsen’s response was too harsh and spoke up with a frown: “We’re all classmates. The tone might have been off, but it was well-intentioned. Kiera Olsen, there’s no need to be so standoffish, right?”

Erin also pretended to console: “Don’t say that. I shouldn’t have brought it up during a class reunion. It is indeed a private matter for Kiera Olsen, and it’s rather embarrassing for her. Kiera Olsen, if you’re upset, I apologize.”

The male classmate sneered: “I don’t get why we can’t discuss it here at a class reunion. Isn’t this the truth? Just for the sake of face, and you won’t even ask for help? Kiera Olsen, sometimes in life, you shouldn’t care too much about vain and nebulous things, being down-to-earth is better!”

Kiera Olsen: ?

Her gaze turned even colder: “Sometimes in life, minding your own business is best, right?”

“You!”

The male student was so angry he pointed at her and uttered a single word before Erin grabbed his arm: “Alright, alright, let’s not talk about this anymore, shall we?”

He sneered: “She really can’t recognize kindness!”

Seeing herself gaining the upper hand, Erin chuckled and changed the subject: “Actually, speaking of jobs, among us, Charles has got the best one! Do you know who he’s working for?”

Everyone immediately became curious: “Who?”

Erin then turned to Kiera Olsen and asked, “Kiera Olsen, do you know?”

Kiera Olsen: ?

Not understanding why she was being singled out, she just took a sip of tea, glanced at Charles, and slowly said, “Not very clear.”

Erin laughed immediately: “Hasn’t Charles told you? He works under Dr. South!”

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, and they all turned to Charles, curiously asking:

“Is Dr. South male or female?”

“What a question. Of course, it’s a man, a scholarly middle-aged gentleman!”

“Oh my God, Charles, have you met Dr. South in person? Can you get me his autograph?”

“It’s so amazing that a classmate of ours works under Dr. South; it’s such a boastful matter to share!”

“Charles, come on, tell us about Dr. South!”

“Even if you can’t reveal personal information about Dr. South, you could at least share something about your new research projects, right?”

“…”

Charles, who had already grown impatient with everyone mocking Kiera Olsen, immediately turned to her: “Dr. South is far off in the distance yet so close at hand.”
