“That is not something the police can do. However, what if Eugene’s friend invited him to an event as a guest?” Christoff raised the possibility. Olivia frowned in response to his words. “Do you have any idea who it is?”
Then, he wrapped his arm around her waist and led her into the hotel. “Rest up for the time being and put your trust in me. I can find someone in this area much faster than you.”
She struggled to free herself from his grip before asking earnestly, ‘Please tell me where Eugene is.” “Calm down. I need some time to track him down, but I’m confident we’ll find him soon,” Christoff reassured her.
As soon as she heard that, Olivia dropped her objections since they also had to leave their luggage in the hotel room. Hence, she requested a suite for herself and Jewel, and ast soon as they entered the room, he made a dash for it, but Olivia stopped him. “We should get some rest.”
He drew a long breath, leaned against the door, and asked in a displeased tone, “Do you have to be so cautious around me?” “I told you we needed to rest,” she emphasized.
Then, Christoff glanced over at Jewel, who was also keeping a wary eye on him. Even though she was wearing a hat and a mask that effectively covered up her features, her unprotected eyes appeared particularly menacing. Suddenly, he sneered while jutting his chin in Jewel’s direction and asked, “Is she no longer interested in changing her appearance?”
Olivia appeared to recall her earlier request, took a step back, and then allowed him to enter the room. Even after he had entered the room, he did not immediately reveal the facial appearance alteration method. Instead, he paced around the room before settling on the couch and scrutinizing Olivia’s body brazenly.
However, she gradually lost patience with him.. “So, how did you do it?” “I’ve traveled thousands of miles to accompany you. Why can’t you be nicer to me?” Christoff asked with an aggrieved expression.
She couldn’t help but cringe when she saw that. Then, she stared at him and said, “I believe one should be content with what they have. I can treat you much worse than that.”
He recalled the day in the studio when she lost her temper and realized that, based on her current tone, she had much better composure than she had back then. “Okay, who told me to be such a nosey parker?”
Afterward, Christoff reached into his pocket to look for something, and his phone abruptly. rang. Soon, he swiped the answer key and took the call while maintaining a blank expression, which contrasted with his friendly demeanor. earlier. The person on the other end of the line reported something, so he responded, ‘Are you sure? Okay, I’ve got it. Send it to Seasons Hotel later.” He ended the call and looked over at Olivia. “Do you want to know where Eugene is?” After hearing that, Olivia experienced an immediate onset of anxiousness. “Where is he?”
His gaze was intensely fascinated as he curled his index fingers at her. “Come here. I’ll tell you.” Nevertheless, her brows knitted together as she cast a wary glance at him. ‘Just tell me right here.”
“I don’t want anyone else to hear it,” he replied. When Jewel heard that, she took a few steps back, implying that she understood the apparent meaning behind his words. Therefore, when Olivia moved closer to him, Jewel decided to retreat. However, Christoff kept his gaze fixed on Olivia and questioned, “Do you think I’ll devour you?”
She stifled the raging rage that was building up inside her because she was eager to find out where Eugene was, and, as a result, she leaned closer to him. “It’s not close enough,’ he commented..
Olivia took a deep breath and leaned in closer, but Christoff kept telling her to get closer. I’m literally a foot away from him! How close should I get?
Suddenly, she stood up straight and gave him. an icy stare as she decided to give up. “If you’re not going to tell me, leave!” Christoff relaxed on the couch, leaning back with his arms on the back. “Do you know what became of the person who once said that to me?”
Surprisingly, Olivia was unfazed by him and instead gave him a dismissive look and responded, “Do you know what happened to the last person who tried to deceive me?”
