That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

Olivia had no idea what Emma was thinking.

What she told Sophia wasn’t entirely an excuse; the research institute had indeed been very busy lately.

Due to the injury on her wrist and the children’s insistence, she reluctantly rested at home for a day.

The next morning, she was woken up by a call from a team member. After a brief conversation, she rushed to the institute without even having breakfast.

The previous project was nearing its end. Both the beginning and the end of this project were challenging, so when it first started, Olivia was almost always in the lab.

Now that it was nearing completion, she had to return to her previous level of busyness.

Gabriel still served as her assistant.

During the experiment, Gabriel noticed her injured wrist and frowned slightly. “Dr. Prescott, your hand…”

Olivia was so busy that she had forgotten about her wrist injury. Following his gaze, she looked at her wrist and then remembered, smiling calmly. “It’s nothing. I got a scrape during a parent-child activity at the kindergarten over the weekend.”

Hearing this, Gabriel felt relieved. During the subsequent experiment process, he took over most of the tasks that required manual operation.

Olivia stood by and gave verbal instructions.

The two of them worked together seamlessly.

They were busy for nearly a week.

When they finally achieved the desired results, everyone in the lab was ecstatic.

Olivia couldn’t help but feel happy as well.

While abroad, she was already an independent physician, but she was still under her mentor’s guidance. Many projects were nominally completed by her independently but still had her mentor’s input.

This time, it could be considered her first truly independent project!

“Dr. Prescott, are you free tonight?” Gabriel asked with a smile as they left the lab.

Olivia was taken aback and looked at him in confusion, with a hint of wariness in her eyes.

Seeing her reaction like a startled cat, Gabriel couldn’t help but laugh. “Judging by your expression, you must have forgotten. You promised earlier that once the project was completed, you would treat everyone to a celebratory dinner. The team has been waiting!”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Olivia laughed awkwardly and agreed without hesitation. “Of course, I must have been too busy to remember. Please inform everyone that we’ll meet at Wangjiang Pavilion at 8 PM.”

Gabriel agreed and returned to the lab.

Soon after, Olivia heard cheers from inside.

Even just by listening, she could feel everyone’s excitement.

This project was very challenging, and completing it was a breakthrough for everyone. The celebratory dinner tonight added to the joy.

Olivia returned to her office and asked her assistant to book a private room at Wangjiang Pavilion. She then called Isabelle to ask her to pick up the two children in the evening.

Last night, she had promised the children that she would pick them up herself after the project ended. The children were very happy and even mentioned Sophia.

Thinking of Sophia made Olivia feel guilty again.

The children must have told Sophia about her promise. If they didn’t see her tonight, Sophia would surely be disappointed.

With this in mind, Olivia hesitated before telling Isabelle, “If you see Sophia, please apologize on my behalf and tell her I got held up with something today.”

Isabelle was puzzled by this request but didn’t ask any questions and agreed with a smile.
