The noble lady always has a little intuition

From yesterday afternoon to two o'clock in the morning today, I was looking at the telegraph in the room and kept following the people of Canard Shipping's branch in the United States to confirm the information of the Carpathia, so I spent the whole morning Olivia is trying to catch up on sleep.

After waking up at noon and roughly eating the simple sandwich that Ellie brought from the dining room, she crouched at the desk to process the documents again. After all, she had to change the passengers who were originally going to board the Carpathia to the Mauritania Or the Lusitania lost a lot. Free upgrades, discount coupons to appease guests, or first-class facility use coupons will cost the company at least nearly 10,000 pounds.In addition, it would be a huge expense for the Lusitania to take them to New York on a special voyage, and it would cost at least £[-]+ from manpower to supplies.

Even though the Campbell family is one of the shareholders of Canard Shipping, the four £10,000+ expenses must be borne by their family, otherwise other shareholders will not sit idly by, so Olivia can only work hard to study her own industry , See how to increase income and reduce expenditure to earn back the expenses before she marries to the United States.

It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon when she finally sorted out several plans, and she didn't want to disturb Eleanor and Audrey's afternoon tea party, so after clearing the table, , she went directly to the private massage room and asked the masseur to relieve her sore shoulders and neck from sitting at the desk for nearly a day. After four 10-minute body massages, she went to the steam room of the Turkish bath .

By the time she came out of the Turkish bath area, it had been more than ten minutes since dinner started, and although she had gone to the massage room and steam room to relieve fatigue, she did not intend to go to the restaurant to support her smiling face after a busy day , bothering to socialize with other passengers, so after changing into a dress and simply eating some small snacks, she left the room and went to the uppermost promenade deck.

Standing at the front of the promenade deck on the uppermost floor, feeling the sea breeze blowing in front of her was getting colder and colder, Olivia, who was leaning on the railing and watching the sunset, felt a little regretful that she didn't listen to Ellie's words and add more words before leaving the room. A coat, but because Lusitania will meet with the Titanic in the middle of the night, Ellie is still in the room helping her pack her luggage, so she chooses to stay on the deck and watch while she doesn’t want to disturb Ellie’s work While looking at the scenery ahead, he rubbed his arms with his hands to keep warm.

Just as she was looking at the scenery ahead and thinking about how to put her plan into practice, she suddenly saw a familiar figure appearing on the deck below her, and belatedly realized that There was another familiar figure standing below.

When seeing Ruth and Jack get together again, Olivia was a little unbelievable. After all, she heard that Rufu and Davis had forbidden the two of them to meet again the day before yesterday. agreed.

Just when she was condemning Ruth's behavior of reneging on her promises and breaking her engagement with Davis several times in her heart, she suddenly remembered that she had also violated the conditions proposed by Karl during the engagement.This kind of recognition made her feel irritable, so when she saw Jack pulling Ruth to stand on the iron railing of the bow, and then Jack leaned behind Ruth and opened his arms with her to make a soaring movement, she didn't want to stop. Enduring such a scene, she simply turned around and prepared to go to the stern to continue to enjoy the scenery to pass the time, but she stopped after walking a few steps, because she saw Carl, who was supposed to be eating in the restaurant, suddenly appeared on the deck .

Seeing her, Carl, who was still anxious and anxious, immediately relaxed, and said to her as he walked towards her quickly: "Olivia, why didn't you go to the restaurant? I went to your room to look for you but you But you are not there, and your maid is not sure where you are, I have been looking for you for a long time..."

Even though he knew that this place was far away from the deck below, as he got closer and his voice became louder, Olivia, who was worried that Ruth and Jack would find them here, quickly raised her right index finger to do something. He made a movement to silence him, and out of the corner of his eye, he looked down at the deck to make sure Ruth and Jack didn't notice them.

He felt that her behavior was very strange, so after walking in front of her, Carl followed her gaze, and then saw Ruth and Jack who were standing on the railing and kissing inseparably.

"swing……"

Seeing this scene, Karl almost blurted out his curse. Fortunately, he still remembered that Olivia was still by his side. She has always received aristocratic higher education, and she is not used to those swear words.

After taking a deep breath, Carl put his arms around her shoulders, and led her a few steps away from the railing, so that the view of the deck below could not be seen by them, and then he quickly took off his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders on, and rubbed her arms through the coat, "Why don't you come out with an extra coat? Your hands are so cold to the touch... By the way, Ellie told me you haven't had dinner yet, what do you want to eat? I Send someone to your room immediately..."

"I'm not hungry……"

Even though his arms were warmed by his movements, Olivia still wanted to turn sideways to avoid his touch.

She felt a little uncomfortable with his behavior these two days. Since he overheard her conversation with Eleanor the afternoon before yesterday, as long as the two of them were alone, he would come to her side to hug her and kiss her. She, and even when he left the room and went to the dining room, he was always by her side, with an arm around her shoulder or around her waist.Besides, when she was about to go to bed the night before, he even stayed in her bedroom and refused to leave, and when she fell asleep, he automatically moved from the chair beside her bed to her bed.

If it weren't for yesterday afternoon, she was busy contacting Canard Shipping and writing the plan, and in order to avoid people being disturbed when she was working, she directly locked the connecting door, and then she asked Ellie to stay there The door was blocked so that no one could come near casually, and Carl might cling to her all afternoon and evening again.

According to Eleanor, who knew she would ignore other things at work and sent a simple meal to her room last night, Karl's behavior showed his insecurity about their relationship. Feeling, and he tried to make her get used to his presence in this way.

Although Eleanor's reasoning made her feel guilty and guilty, and although she knew that Karl's intimate behavior did not exceed the etiquette that a fiancé should abide by, she still didn't like such excessively frequent kisses and hugs.

"At least drink some hot soup, it can warm your body." Unaware of her resistance, Carl continued to lead her towards the cabin, "If you don't want to go to the restaurant, I'll ask the waiter to bring the soup to you." your room."

"Ellie is helping me pack and I don't want to delay her work."

Since Olivia doesn't like to work in a noisy environment, Ellie only dared to do some simple cleaning yesterday afternoon, so in order to be able to transfer to the Carpathia smoothly this evening, she hopes that Ellie can put the Everything was stuffed back into the suitcase.

"Then go to my room, it seems like you haven't been to my room yet."

Seeing Karl's excited face, Olivia, who didn't want to spoil his interest, could only follow her back to his room.

Although Olivia had previously told Karl that he, who was a shareholder of White Star Line two days ago, did not need to transfer to the Carpathia with the three of them, he still asked to go with them, so when she entered When he arrived at his suite, there were many suitcases stacked in the corner of the living room, and the living room was less decorated than she had seen through the connecting door before.

After instructing Lai Fujie to go to the waiter in the restaurant to ask for food, Carl took Olivia to sit on the sofa, and when he took off the suit jacket on her shoulder, he kissed her on the cheek, and then said to her : "I have already made an agreement with Ismay and the captain, they will stop the ship at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and then send two crew members to send us to the Carpathia, so after eating You can sleep a little bit."

"I see."

While talking, Olivia left Carl's arms by taking off her shawl, and took the opportunity to sit on the single sofa next to her. Carl couldn't help but darken his eyes at her alienation, but he knew her That character doesn't like to beat around the bush, so he quickly recovered, and tried to put on his most sincere appearance and said: "I know you have your plans, Olivia, but I still hope that you can fall in love with me , you can’t completely deny me a chance to try…”

"But your behavior in the past two days has been too much. Even Edgar was not like you when he was engaged to Eleanor." Facing his expression, Ao, who was already a little guilty towards him, Livia is not easy to say harsh words, so she can only try to use more euphemistic words, "I know that what I said when I chatted with Eleanor affected you, I am sorry for this, but I still hope We can go back to the previous way of getting along, and now... how to put it, it's too strong..."

Karl was a little disapproving of what she said, but he still tried his best to hide it, "Why? I just stopped hiding it and showed all my love for you."

"Lovethatistoohotandstrongburnethsoontowaste. (If love is too hot, it will quickly burn to ashes.) I think there must be a reason for Norton's poetry to have been handed down from the sixteenth century to the present." Seeing him still disapproving, Olivia He gave an example unkindly, "Look at Miss Bucket and Mr. Dawson, the love between them who started hugging and kissing after only a few days of acquaintance is also passionate, but how long do you think their love can last? "

Carl knows the answer without thinking about it. Judging from Jack’s speech in the first-class cabin three nights ago, he is a person who advocates freedom and enjoyment in time. Carl doesn’t think he would be able to stay in one place with Ruth Work diligently and repay the debts of the Bookett family; and Ruth, just as Olivia warned her before, judging from her outstanding appearance and somewhat proud personality, she cannot Lived too long in the common class.

I want to think about it, but for his own pursuit, Karl still intends to continue to persuade Olivia to change his mind, but before he can speak, there is a knock on the door in the room, and he knows that it must be Lai Fujie and the food delivery The waiter came over, so he could only swallow the words back and get up to open the door.

After the door opened, Lai Fujie asked the waiter to bring the meal in, while he himself stayed at the door to talk to Carl.

Hearing the news brought by Lai Fujie, Carl's expression changed first, and then he said a few words to him, and he closed the door after he obeyed his orders to leave and gave a tip to the waiter who had prepared the meal.

I didn't notice the small movements of him and Lai Fujie whispering just now, so when he sat back on the sofa again, Olivia immediately took the initiative to say: "If you have something to deal with, you can leave first, and I will return to mine right away. Room."

"No, Lai Fujie just told me that he saw when he came here just now..." After hesitating in her puzzled eyes, Carl continued, "I saw Miss Buckett bringing the third-class passenger into the In her room..."

Not expecting to hear this, Olivia couldn't help but frowned, "So you just told Mr. Lai Fujie...?"

"I asked him to go to Davis. Although our family has no business relationship with their family, but... from a man's standpoint, I think he should know." What Carl didn't say was that, with a From the standpoint of a businessman, Davis repaid the huge debts of the Bookett family and bought two first-class tickets for the Bookett mother and daughter. How can Ruth be at ease before compensating Davis for the loss? Find a little lover without worry, and bring the lover into the first-class suite provided by Davis for a tryst.

Olivia just frowned at the difficulties that Ruth might face next, and then concentrated on drinking the thick soup in front of her. She hoped that she could finish her meal early and return to her room early, after all, she and Carl are now in the room The connecting door between them is still locked, and she doesn't want to see Davis and Ruth arguing when she returns to the room later.

It's just that Carl didn't know what she was thinking, and knew that she just had something to eat in a hurry for lunch, so when ordering, he ordered two lamb chops and used a fork while she was drinking the soup. He cut one of them and fed it to her mouth, coaxing her to eat it.

After finally finishing her food, Olivia insisted on going back to her room, and stopped Carl from sending her back to the next room.

Seeing Carl's reluctance, she sighed helplessly in her heart, and when he lowered his head to kiss her cheek as a farewell kiss, she turned her head slightly and put her lips on his.

When he opened his eyes wide in surprise because of her actions, she pecked his lips lightly again, then opened the door before he could react, stood at the door and said to him: "Occasionally like this Wouldn't it be nice once? Your previous approach was too much."

After finishing speaking, she ignored him who was still standing there touching his lips in a daze, and closed the door directly.
