The noble lady always has a little intuition
Chapter 22 22
Olivia was not in a good mood early in the morning. When she first woke up, she found that Karl, who insisted on watching her sleep last night and promised to return to her room after she fell asleep, was still in her room. , and ran from the chair beside the bed to her bed.
Not long after driving Carl back to his room with a straight face and locking the connecting door between the two of them, she received a telegram from Brooke from the telegraph room, which was sent by Edgar , it said that Stephanie had refunded the first-class ticket for the maiden voyage of the Titanic a week ago, and when the ticket was refunded, she was accompanied by a tall man with an Italian accent, he and Henry tried to get people to follow their whereabouts, and finally after learning that they had left England, Henry decided to give up and said that he didn't plan to control Stephanie anymore.
Because she was still angry with Karl, she didn't want to have breakfast with him, and the back of her left hand was still dark purple, which was not very elegant, and she didn't want to put on gloves before eating breakfast, so she simply let him Brooke and Ellie set up a table in the private corridor attached to her room, and paid a little tip for the waiter on the ship to bring breakfast, and after knowing that she was not going to the dining room, Eleanor and Audrey also came to her Room to accompany her to have breakfast.
During breakfast, Olivia told them the content of Edgar's telegram. Because Eleanor had not officially become Audrey and Henry's in-laws, it was difficult for her to express her thoughts, but Audrey did. He had no more worries, and mercilessly criticized Henry's indecision and inconsistencies in the past, while Olivia and Eleanor listened quietly, occasionally nodding in response.
Not long after they finished their leisurely breakfast, Lai Fujie knocked on the door and came in, reminding them that Ismay and Andrews' tour of the Titanic would start in half an hour.
Because this was promised yesterday morning, and Olivia forgot to cancel with them last night because she was injured, so the three of them can only go back to their rooms to take care of themselves, and be on time 5 minutes before the agreed time reached the deck.
When they got to the top deck, Karl, Ismay and Andrews were already waiting there, besides, Countess Rosser and Mrs. Brown were also there.
As soon as he saw them, Karl, who was talking to Ismay, immediately went up to meet them. He first nodded his greetings to Audrey and Eleanor, and then walked quickly to Olivia's side to catch up with her naturally. shoulder.
His behavior made other people present couldn't help laughing at the good relationship between him and Olivia, a fiancee couple. Karl accepted their teasing with a smile, and Olivia, who was still angry with him, He only responded with a faint smile.
While the others were greeting each other, Carl let go of Olivia's shoulders, turned to hold her left hand gently, and asked with concern, "I left in a hurry this morning and forgot to ask, did you Is your hand feeling better? Does it still hurt?"
Hearing what happened in the morning, Olivia couldn't help but blushed. She wanted to accuse him of his unreasonable behavior, but she didn't know how to say those embarrassing words, so in the end Just gave him a hard look.
Her coquettish eyes and reddish angry face made Carl feel inexplicably amazed and moved. He wanted to bow his head and kiss her obediently, but he was afraid of making her angry again, so he could only hold her up instead. Her other uninjured hand, "Aside from apologizing, what else can I do to make you not angry, my dear fiancee?"
When he said the word fiancee, Olivia belatedly remembered that even if he wanted to have intimate acts with her, it was not forbidden for them who were already engaged, let alone the two of them It was just lying on the same bed, covered with different quilts, and although Karl hugged her from behind, his hand was only gently grasping the wrist of her left hand, the purpose should be to prevent her from falling asleep Sometimes, I would unconsciously move my left hand, aggravating the bruises on the back of my hand.
However, even though he knew that he did this last night mainly because he was worried about his injury, and taking advantage of him was just incidental, but when he thought that he was woken up in the morning because he felt his male physiological reaction in the morning, now he still can't get rid of that. Once this strange feeling disappeared from her head, Olivia became annoyed, "Even if I ask you not to do anything like last night before the wedding, will you agree?"
"Of course, it's my dear fiancee's request after all." Carl readily agreed, and took her handprint and kissed, "So, can you open the locked door when you go back to your room later?" ?I wish I could see you all the time when I'm in the room."
Olivia didn't know how to respond to his sweet talk, and just at this time Ismay said that he was going to show them around, so she took the opportunity to avoid the question, pursed her lips and put her hand on his arm, Then he looked straight in the direction where Ismay and the others were.
Seeing her like this, Karl had no choice but to lead her forward. The two of them walked at the end of the line, and then listened to Ismay and Andrews introduce everyone on the deck. There are occasional interspersed inquiries from Mrs. Brown or Countess Rosser.
When I heard Andrews say that there were only [-] lifeboats on the Titanic, four of which were folding canvas lifeboats and two were simple wooden lifeboats, I was just looking at the scenery on the deck with a relaxed face. Olivia suddenly became serious.
Because the family is a shareholder of Canard Shipping, and Canard Shipping will send an operation report every season, so in order to let herself understand the contents of the report, Olivia has read a lot of shipping laws and shipping-related documents. books.
She knew that there were already four more lifeboats on the Titanic than the British Trade Commission legally stipulated, but her parents died in a shipwreck, and it was a season where icebergs were easy to encounter during the voyage. , so her inexplicable sense of fear before the Titanic left port once again occupied her heart, and she couldn't help but increase the strength of her grip on Carl's arm.
Feeling the trembling of her hand holding his arm, Carl turned his head to look at her strangely, "What's wrong, Olivia?"
Glancing at Ismay and the others walking ahead, Olivia shook her head, "We'll talk about it when we get back to the room."
Although he really wanted to ask, but after seeing her purse her lips again, making her lips as pale as her face, he put the question behind him first, and then raised his other empty hand to speak. He patted her hand again and again, trying to calm her down.
After walking around the entire deck, Ismay, who was in high spirits, wanted to take them to the next deck to have morning tea and continue his high-spirited talks, but the ladies present would rather drink tea by themselves. Talking about their favorite topics, Karl was also very worried about Olivia's situation, so they disbanded after shopping around.
After confirming that Audrey and Eleanor were going to chat in the coffee shop with Countess Rosser and Mrs. Brown, Carl took Olivia back to the room.
As soon as she got back to the room, Olivia immediately called Brook, and let him sit at the desk where the telegraph machine delivered the night before was placed to contact the telegraph operator who was on standby at Campbell's house, while she herself sat aside. On the sofa, Ellie helped her take off her gloves and began to apply ice to her left hand.
Seeing her staring at the telegraph while applying the ice, Carl became more and more confused, "Honey, what the hell is going on?"
"I felt bad when I saw those lifeboats, like before I got on the ship," Olivia didn't know how to explain her feelings to her fiancé, "I was worried about the Titanic. Something bad will happen after that..."
"You're kidding..." Right after he finished speaking, Carl felt that he had slipped his words, because Olivia still had a serious expression, and both Brooke and Ellie looked at him with disapproving eyes, "Sorry , Olivia, I mean, everyone knows that the Titanic was a ship that was never silent..."
"Even a ship made of wood can sink, not to mention that the Titanic is made of steel. I believe you must have learned this physics knowledge in middle school or college." After refuting, Olivia turned to Brooke, who had already received a response from the telegraph operator at Campbell's house, "Tell Edgar to contact the people at Canard Shipping's American branch and ask them to send a ship from New York, either the Mauritania or the Lusitania." If it doesn’t work, you can also look at Carpathia, anyway, there are very few people who have booked tickets recently because of the workers’ strike, so there should be an empty boat to come over.”
It took Carl a while to recover from what she said just now. He sat on the sofa opposite her and looked at her with scrutiny, "Are you serious?"
"Yes." Seeing his frowning, Olivia couldn't help sighing, "I also had such a bad feeling suddenly more than four years ago, and according to the news that came back later , I've felt that way for about the same time that my parents were shipwrecked off the coast of France, so I'm very disturbed now, Carl, very very disturbed..."
It was the first time Carl had heard about her parents, so he pulled back his expression and said in an apologetic tone, "Sorry honey, I didn't know..."
Before he finished apologizing, Olivia interrupted him: "Besides, Carl, I suggest you sell all the shares of White Star Shipping as soon as possible."
"If I sell the stock right now, do you know how much loss it will be? The stock of White Star Shipping has been rising these days, and even Ismay has started to think about the stock in my hand. The Titanic arrives in New York..."
Speaking of this, Carl suddenly stopped talking, because according to Olivia, her bad feeling means that the Titanic may encounter some unfortunate accidents and cannot reach New York safely, and if the accident really happened, At that point, the value of White Star's stock would plummet.
He began to get annoyed, he didn't know if he should sell the profitable stock because of Olivia's bad feeling, but he worried that if he didn't sell it, she might be upset, and he still remembered the After the engagement, Edgar once said in a conversation with him in the study room that several properties of the Campbell family were perfectly avoided by relying on Olivia's premonition, and several of his stock investments were also based on her Premonitions make money.
"Would you like to make a bet with me, Carl? See if it is the right choice to sell the stock of White Star Line." Seeing that he was hesitating, Olivia offered to propose, "If I am correct, I I want two Renoir paintings as payment and a set of pink diamond jewelry; if I am wrong, not only will I never interfere in your business in the future, I can also give you a sum of no less than half a million pounds The order compensates you for the loss."
Her bet did reduce Carl's hesitation a lot. After thinking about it for a while, he showed a confident smile, just like when he usually talks about business, " I accept it, I am even willing to add two Renoir paintings.”
Olivia just smiled at his generosity, and then continued to look solemnly at Brook who was in contact with the telegraph operator of Campbell's house. After all, although she had tried her best to think of a remedy, if the Titanic If something really happened, it might still cause unexpected losses, and that was what she didn't want to see.
