As she spoke, she exchanged a look with Eugene. “Let’s get them here tonight.” Eugene replied with a nod, “Okay”
Olivia hadn’t gone back to her studio to take a look since she returned from the set. After Eugene had left, she made a special effort to go to her studio with George..
Sophia and the others were all very excited to see Olivia. After greeting her warmly, they politely caught up with George and shared what had happened recently.
After a long exchange of pleasantries, they finally got back to work, but Sophia seemed to suddenly recall something. She came over again, asking, “Miss Olivia, did Christoff go to see you on the set afterward?”
Olivia replied, “He did, but he didn’t do anything to me.” “His clothes are still here, and he’s yet to take them back.” Olivia replied, “It’s okay, just leave them here. He’ll come and pick them up when he’s free.”
“Okay,” Sophia replied before going back to work. George knitted his brows, though. “Who is this Christoff that you’re referring to?”
Olivia chuckled. “No doubt about it-it’s the guy you’re thinking about.”
“He came to see you?” Olivia nodded. “Not only did he recognize me, but he recognized Jewel and even threatened to report it to the Double Dragon Court.”
George said, “Then why are you still able to smile? Even if Joseph will let this slide out of respect for Jonathan, he’ll certainly get Jewel back if he learns that she’s still alive.” Olivia replied, “He won’t say anything about it.”
“Are you so sure about that?” “Perhaps not before, but now, I’m his savior, so he won’t betray me. And besides, I think he’s a nice person. It’s just that he tends to be annoying, but other than that, he’s fine.”
“When did you save his life?”
“It’s a long story.” Olivia told George what had happened during the motor race. Then, she added with a laugh, “It surprised me that he was actually Hurricane.”
George replied, “Well, it sounds fine, but you still have to be careful. If Joseph learns that Jewel is still alive, she’ll be in danger.”
“Mm-hmm, I know that,” said Olivia, but her mood sank. At first, she had thought Jewel would be able to start a new life after meeting her and leaving that place; who would’ve thought that she would end up dating her own brother? Isn’t her fate a little too tragic?
“George?” Suddenly, a familiar female voice could be heard from the entrance. Olivia turned her head toward the voice and saw Penny. She seemed to have changed since the former last saw her a few months ago.
She was no longer sporting red lips, and the look in her eyes was no longer as mean and piercing as before. For some reason, she gave a feeling of… Olivia searched her mind for a word to describe the lady, but she couldn’t find one that could describe her accurately.
Penny’s face had delight written all over it, and the look in her eyes was gentle with an inexplicable hint of shyness to it. She came over with a smile while focusing her eyes on George, asking, “When did you come back, George?
George replied, “Just a few days ago.” Penny said, “Something happened to my family these days, so I didn’t get in touch with you.”
George nodded. “It’s okay.” Penny then said, “Thanks for looking after me when I was abroad, George. Let me treat you to dinner, okay?”
George refused, “You don’t have to.” Olivia looked at the eagerly attentive Penny, then at the impatient George. She joked with a smile, “Seems like I missed a lot of stories.”
George hurriedly explained, “What are you talking about? It’s not as complicated as you imagine. I just helped Miss Nolan several times when she came across difficulties in Mastar.”
Penny looked embarrassed all of a sudden. She said, “George, since you’re here, you’ve got to give me a chance to repay your kindness.” “You don’t have to. It’s nothing, actually.”
“It’s nothing to you, but it was a great help to me. Come on, let me take you to dinner,” Penny said before turning to Olivia. “Olivia, you should come with us.”
Olivia’s lips twitched; this was her first time hearing Penny speak so nicely to her. “No, it’s not necessary. I just came here and have yet to do anything. Just go ahead to dinner without me.”
