Christoff was happy to hear that. “Sounds great. Let’s go with your design.” Then, Olivia said, “Alright, Mr. Stevenson. You’ll need to pay five thousand as a deposit, then you’ll be able to receive your suit in two weeks.” He asked, “How much does this suit cost?”
“Mr. Stevenson, this suit costs a total of three- hundred and eighty thousand. Our studio provides suits that are completely handmade, and I can assure you that your suit will be the only one of its kind! I’m going to use- Raising his hand, Christoff interrupted her. “There’s no need to explain. Also, I’m not going to pay the deposit because I’m paying in full.”
Olivia was only taken aback for a moment before saying, “Sure. Please follow me, Mr. Stevenson.” Then, he followed her to the counter to pay for the suit, after which she gave him a receipt and reminded, “Bring this receipt with you when you come to collect your suit in two weeks’ time.”
Christoff replied, “Alright.” While he spoke, he raised his arm with a wristwatch to look at the time. “It’s already 11.00AM. Miss Maxwell, do I have the privilege of asking you out to lunch?”
To that, Olivia answered, “I’ll pass. My boyfriend will get jealous.” Raising an eyebrow, he seemed surprised while asking. “Is a wildcat like you afraid of Eugene too?”
She retorted, “I’m not a wildcat; I’m a wolf. Also, I’m not afraid of him. It’s called respect. Since we’ve acknowledged ourselves as a couple, we should restrain ourselves from doing things that might affect our relationship.” Hearing that, Christoff expressed, “Eugene is so lucky.”
With a humble attitude, Olivia replied, “Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Stevenson.” While saying so, she gestured toward the door. “Thank you for your visit!”
As a result, he did not say anything more and left the studio. After his departure, Sophia hurried over to her side. “Oh my gosh. As I’ve expected from someone who has spent time with President Nolan. You’re not even afraid of that man! I felt my legs turning into jelly the moment I saw him earlier.”
Olivia thought, He is the leader of Samuel Court after all. How can he keep the group of assassins under him in control if he doesn’t have a strong temperament? However, she did not expect that he would leave right after ordering a suit without doing. While looking at Sophia, Olivia comforted her. “What’s there to be afraid of? We’re just operating a business. What can he do to you?”
Sophia stared at Christoff’s leaving car and said, “When he came in earlier, he looked so oppressive and nothing like our regular customers. He’s more like someone who came here to settle scores. Still, I didn’t expect he’d leave so happily after speaking a few words with you.”
Olivia glared at her and rebuked, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” A giggling Sophia replied, “Yes, you’re right, Miss Olivia. I’m going to continue with my work.” While saying so, she entered the back room.
Meanwhile, Olivia still felt a little concerned, so she took out her phone and called Eugene. The call was answered on the third ring, followed by his deep voice. “Olivia.”
At first, she was planning to tell him regarding the incident with Christoff, but she immediately felt her uneasy heart calming down after hearing his voice. Therefore, she casually asked, “What are you doing?”
Eugene’s voice sounded a little tired. “I just finished a meeting. I’ve been sitting there for the whole morning and my head feels dizzy as a result. Have you eaten yet?”
“Nope. I’ve just finished work too.” “Why don’t we head back to that romantic restaurant?” he asked. Olivia answered, “That sounds like a good idea, but aren’t you tired?””
“What’s there to be tired about when I can have lunch with you? I’ll be there in half an hour,” he informed her. Hearing that, she could only affirm him and wait for the agreed time to come. An hour later, the two appeared at the couple-themed restaurant, Mi Amor.
When Oliva entered the restaurant, she immediately looked over to the stage and saw that it was the same boy playing the piano. The tune he was playing today was ‘Croatian Rhapsody, which was utterly ear-pleasing.
