SWNOVELS Chapter 418
Chapter 418 Kidnapped by David
After two days of such turmoil, I looked at Charlotte, who was gradually showing signs of dark circles under her eyes and ordered her to stop "guarding" me
"T wouldn't have anyone stay overtime with me after work, Charlotte. It's not within your job scope."
Moreover, not only did she stay with me to work overtime after work, but she also drove me back in the opposite direction of her own home
Then, she continued to clock in on time for work the next morning
This was too hard; I didn't want to treat my assistant like a slave
Charlotte frowned and her gaze fell on my belly
"Olive, you're about to become a mother. Stop acting like you're the only workaholic around
Don't think that I consider you a friend, even if we're just colleagues. I can't just stand by and watch a heavily pregnant woman try to find her way home after ten o'clock at night."
"The security in Berlin was good enough, and I had to consider my husband. If the regulatory authorities found out that his employees had been working overtime like this repeatedly, he would be called in for a coffee."
I shrugged and took the spare key from the laboratory, telling her that she didn't need to leave the commonly used key for me next time
Charlotte couldn't persuade me, so she repeatedly reminded me not to drive back and forth on my own. However, the moment the end
of work time arrived, I immediately pushed her out of the company's door, urging her to hurry
I breathed a sigh of relief as I watched Charlotte's car disappear around the corner through the window, and then I returned to the laboratory to continue collecting data
Everything went very smoothly today, except that Aaron called me on a video call around seven o'clock. I had to run to the tea restaurant downstairs from the office and lied that I was preparing to have dinner nearby
Fortunately, most tea restaurants in Berlin have a simple decoration style. I aimed the camera at the surface of the white slate table, and Aaron did not question the truthfulness of my words
He just advised me to go home early after eating, and things were going smoothly on his end. He would probably be able to come back
soon

I was very happy to hear such news, but this phone call took a long time, and I was also really hungry. So after finishing this dinner, the clock had already pointed to eight o'clock
By the time I returned to the laboratory and finished dealing with the pending data from before, and recorded today's investigation results, 1t was already past eleven o'clock without me realizing it
Charlotte had already asked me on FB if I had arrived home. I chuckled and casually replied that I was almost there, then quickly locked the door and called a tax1
It is indeed risky for a pregnant woman in her late stage to drive at night. I am not sure if my amniotic fluid would be able to hold up until I
reach the hospital without rupturing in the darkness in case of an accident
So I accepted Charlotte's suggestion and didn't take my car keys with me
But such a decision almost prevented me from seeing these people who cared about me again
The taxi initially had no problems, and I even chatted with the kind driver who advised me not to work so late. When the car reached a gas station, he said he needed to refuel, and I didn't realize that another person had come up when the door of the driver's cabin opened again
Because at the moment when I opened the door, I was immediately overwhelmed by a strange and sweet scent

When I woke up again, I was half-leaning on the
sofa, surrounded by unfamiliar light blue walls, and my hands seemed to be tied up with something, placed awkwardly behind me
The fact told me that I had been calculated and kidnapped by someone. And then, my first reaction was to check my abdomen, fortunately, there was no feeling of pain, and my clothes were completely dry
Immediately, a burst of laughter came from the nearby single sofa. I suddenly turned my head to look, only to see David's face, which was somewhat terrifying under the light, approaching me
"T have never been able to understand why Aaron insisted on marrying you, Olive. You are not a particularly intelligent woman, always so self-righteous and completely lacking in any sense of danger. Furthermore, you have not
contributed in the slightest to Aaron's career, not even being able to detect issues with the finished product's ingredients. I truly wonder how you managed to earn those awards in the past."
Moreover, I am truly sorry that I used to admire you so much in the past, but I never expected you to turn into such a waste now
What?
My mind didn't react for a moment. Is this what a kidnapper should say to the victim?
"David, I used to have great respect for you, so I can't understand how you have become the person you are now!"
