Suddenly, there were many things on Olivia’s mind. There were some things that she chose to keep silent about, but it was a different story if things were exposed in the public eye.
She was now reconsidering her relationship with Eugene. She knew that she was now the trending topic on social media. She didn’t even have to click in there to find out.
North could indeed remove all those nasty speculations on the Internet, but that would have no effect on the public’s opinion of her. He couldn’t erase the public’s poor opinion of her, and neither could he erase their memories.
She didn’t even dare to shut her eyes because as she shut them, her thoughts would be filled with the images of those beggars holding onto her magazine and lewdly biting and licking the page. Even she found it disgusting, so what more to say Eugene.
She suddenly felt slightly regretful and thought that perhaps she shouldn’t have thrown a temper and agreed to be the cover girl of the magazine. She would not have been taken advantage of then.
No, that’s not right! I should pay the price for my own recklessness. If I hadn’t trusted Anna’s words back then or indulged in bad behavior after being cheated on by Hugo, then all of this wouldn’t have happened. This is the punishment for being reckless.
Even though seven years had gone by and Olivia appeared polished and pretty on the surface, she was, in fact, broken and quite hideous on the inside. The memories were embedded within her and she couldn’t help feeling the immense pain from it.
Right now, the worst thing was that it was her own doing, so it didn’t matter even if she was scolded by the public. However, it was different for Eugene because his reputation would be tarnished due to having a girlfriend like that. Furthermore, all of this would have an adverse effect on the Nolan Group as well.
That was why Olivia decided that they could no longer remain in a relationship. Meanwhile, Eugene was completely oblivious to the wild thoughts in her mind. After all, Jewel was around, so there were some things that couldn’t be discussed in the presence of an outsider. As such, he didn’t say much to comfort Olivia.
The car finally came to a stop and from afar, they could see that Alex was waiting by the entrance of the Muse Peninsula. Earlier on, Eugene had sent a text to Alex and told the latter to head over when he entered the car.
Eugene got out of the car and flung a set of keys to Alex. “Unit three on the fifty-eighth floor. That’s the room that I’ve arranged for Miss. Fenton. It’s close to Olivia’s place. Help me take care of Miss Fenton. I’ve got something to discuss with Olivia.”
Alex was quite grateful for Eugene’s thoughtfulness, and the former instantly responded, ‘Sure, don’t worry. Olivia needs some comfort too.”
Meanwhile, Eugene no longer bothered with all the niceties and he directly went to the front passenger seat. He then leaned forward to take Olivia into his arms before carrying her out of the car.
He entered the elevator with her in his arms. She struggled to get out of his hold and she was suddenly well aware of their current circumstances. “I can walk by myself. I’m fine.”
However, he coaxed her softly, “Stop moving. I miss you, so I just want to hold you in my arms.” Feeling rather speechless, Alex and Jewel kept their mouths shut. They had no idea how to comfort Olivia either. It seemed that Eugene was the only one who could help the woman.
Upon arrival at the fifty-eighth floor, Alex and Jewel exited the elevator. Before they left, they glanced at Olivia with concerned looks and they made phone call gestures at her.
Olivia knew that they were worried about her, but she merely nodded without saying a word. Next, Eugene and Olivia took the elevator to the fifty-ninth floor, which was one floor above.
They opened the door but didn’t hear North’s voice. Eugene was slightly surprised. Where’s North? He placed Olivia down and opened the door to North’s room. As soon as he saw the child on the bed, he couldn’t help beaming. No wonder he didn’t come out to greet us. He’s asleep! Eugene tucked North under the blanket before. walking out and shutting the door behind him..
As for Olivia, she didn’t cry, nor did she throw a temper. She seemed to be in a slightly dazed state as she sat hugging her legs on the couch. She looked quite tiny all curled up there and somehow, it was quite unbearable to see her in such a state. Eugene’s heart ached very badly, and he felt exactly like how he felt when he just saw her today.
