Cheating with my boyfriend's best friend novel (Olivia and Aaron) novel Chapter 205

Chapter 205

Love? I thought of my chaotic love life, the absurd wedding three years ago, Aaron’s sad and angry eyes as well as the moment when he finally put his arm around another woman and announced in public, “I’d like to introduce my fiancée to you.”

“Why do you think of love?”

“Because leaving one place and starting over in a new place sounds so much like something that a girl with a broken heart would do.”

“Do you think I’m that kind of girl?”

“No, you are a well-accomplished scientist.”

“So, there is only one reason why I’m coming to BTR…” I announced the answer under Charlotte’s excited gaze as if she was expecting the ending of a detective novel.

“I’m here for the money,” I said.

Charlotte gave the reaction I expected. For a few seconds, her expression looked utterly amusing.

I couldn’t help laughing and reminded her, “Pay attention to the road ahead.”

Only then did Charlotte react. She quickly gripped the steering wheel and came to her sense.

“For the money… Well, TWH’s salary package is really good…but is that the whole reason?” Charlotte found it unbelievable. But a traffic light interrupted her continued questioning.

“So, shall we go directly to the company now?” I threw out a new question in time and it immediately distracted this enthusiastic mixed- race girl.

“Oh, I was planning to take you to your new residence first, and then take you to the company to check-in. BTW, your other luggage has already arrived at your new home a day earlier.”

“Thank you. If this is the case, then take me to the company to check in first, so you won’t have to go back and forth.” Charlotte accepted my proposal.

After more than an hour’s journey, we finally arrived in Ulm from Munich Airport.

It was a beautiful town on the banks of the Danube. Charlotte told me that although both sides of the Danube were Ulm, they belonged to two states. TWH was located in Neu-Ulm, belonging to Bavaria.

“Here we are.” Charlotte turned off the car and we got out of the car. She came to me with a smile, “Welcome to TWH.”

I have to admit that I was very grateful that Charlotte could be my research assistant. Under her guidance, I quickly met my future leader and boss. After a polite conversation, I completed the entry procedures.

After leaving the office, I asked Charlotte where Lab Two was. But she looked at the time and said, “Dr. Woods, I think maybe you should go to the residence to take a look first. You don’t have much time left.”

Charlotte showed me her phone screen and I noticed it was late afternoon. And I didn’t even have a bed in my new residence now!

“You are right!” But I was a little worried, “But don’t I need to go to the lab to say hello to my colleagues first?”

“Don’t be nervous. Many of your colleagues also come from foreign countries. They will understand.”

“All right.”

Charlotte’s smile melted away my nervousness. I took a brand new job card and left TWH talking and laughing with her.

Just at the corner of the corridor, a very typical German man walked towards us.

This man knew Charlotte very well. I could only hear the first-word

“Gutentag” from his fast speaking speed.

“This is Dr. Olive Woods, my future boss. Dr. Woods, this is Dr. Peter Hermann, the genius of Lab One.”

Dr. Hermann understood English. He laughed heartily when he heard Charlotte’s introduction.

He reached out to me, “Welcome to TWH.”

I shook hands with him and smiled back.

But to my surprise, when I let go of my hand, he didn’t show any sign of letting go of his.

I looked up at Dr. Hermann and soon saw obsession and amazement in his green eyes.

“May I ask, are you single?”

OMG! I knew that I had good looks, but this was the first time I had experienced love at first sight like this!

For a split second, someone’s face flashed across my mind.

“Oh, yes.”

Out of the corner of my eye, I could see an excited look on Charlotte’s face. Everyone was not interested in gossip.

But no one knew how embarrassed I was at the moment, even though I still tried to stay calm on the surface.

Dr. Hermann still held my hand, “Well, can I befriend you on FB?”

“Oh sorry, I don’t use FB.” I finally seized the opportunity to withdraw my hand, “If you need, I can give you my email.”

My words upset this handsome German man.

After exchanging emails, he quickly left.

Watching him disappear into the distance, Charlotte looked at me, as if she wanted to say something.

“Maybe I should give him my phone number, right?” I joked.

Hesitation could be seen on Charlotte’s face as if she was struggling to find the right words.

“It’s nothing. I can understand it. It’s a polite excuse indeed.”

“Excuse?” I didn’t understand, “I don’t use Facebook.”

“No way!” Charlotte couldn’t believe it at all. But after seeing my reaction, she finally realized that I was serious.

“You don’t have a FB account?”

12:20 D

I couldn’t help laughing when I saw her shock as if she was looking at an alien.

However, at this moment, I thought of the annoying ID and the profile picture of a nightclub player.

Aaron and I had started dating on FB. But after he announced his engagement on FB a year ago, I hid my account and uninstalled the software.

It would be great if memories could be uninstalled and deleted at will like mobile apps.

Charlotte was still in shock, “No wonder you’re doing great in scientific research! Dr. Woods, you are the only person I have ever seen who can restrain himself from playing this social software!”

“There should be no sociologist who has studied the relationship between FB and scientific research level.” I smiled at Charlotte, “Let’s go. It’s getting late.”

Charlotte was an enthusiastic girl, and I already knew that. But such enthusiasm also troubled me to a certain extent.

My new residence was a single-family cottage on the banks of the Danube. It was not very big, but it came with a mini courtyard and a garage.

This was much more spacious than my small apartment in Manhattan. Charlotte also thoughtfully rented a car for me in advance.

“Charlotte, you’ve done enough for me. It’s getting late.” Watching her squatting on the ground to help me assemble the bed, I was both moved and helpless.

All afternoon, she helped me decorate and clean my new house… and also told me about Dr. Hermann.

God! Since she learned that I didn’t use FB, she seemed to come up with another thought. She didn’t think that I had no interest in Dr. Hermann!

If I hadn’t stopped her, she would have even tried to explain it to him for me!

“Call me anytime if you need any help.” After I repeatedly assured her that I could pack the rest of my luggage and furniture myself. Charlotte finally said goodbye to me. After she left, the originally lively house suddenly became very quiet.

I sat wearily on my freshly assembled bed, distraught.

I had thought I could have a fresh start when I left America and stopped following all his news online. But a FB account could bring me back to the deep sea of memory.

It made me feel discouraged.

As night fell, I didn’t even have the thought of turning on the lights. Some exhaustion beyond imagination came all over me and I just wanted to lie still, but I couldn’t fall asleep anyway.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the ringing of the doorbell.
