A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

Chapter 769

The bodyguard picked up a small chocolate-covered raisin, rolling it between his palms as if he was pondering the meaning of life.

After a long, awkward moment, he turned to Oliver and said, "Boss, I added a layer of powdered sugar to this. Just eat it, pretend it's a weird-tasting candy, alright?"

Oliver eyed the little brown ball suspiciously. He was downright pissed.

He turned his head away, making it clear he had no intention of eating whatever that was.

"Come on, Boss. You gotta eat it. What if you have another episode? Better safe than sorry."

The bodyguard tried to reason with him.

Oliver hesitated, but finally, he picked up the suspicious treat, tossed it in his mouth, and chewed it down in one go.

Immediately after, he chugged half a bottle of water.

Thankfully, thanks to the sugar and the fact it was tiny, the taste wasn't as horrific as he'd feared.

It was even... a little sweet.

“See, Boss? Not so bad, right?" The bodyguard looked pretty pleased with himself, as if he'd just saved the day and was angling for a raise.
