“It’s not an accident-someone cut the rope. We’re trying to arrest the suspect, and the news has announced it. So, don’t worry about it.” “Okay.” Olivia was about to hang up when Eugene suddenly said, “I miss you, Olivia.”
It felt like he was whispering into her ear, and her cheeks burned. Oh, god. He’s so seductive. I bet he already had a lot of girlfriends before this. She pursed her lips shyly and muttered, “I miss you, too.”
They talked for a long time before she finally hung up. Jewel teased, “You wanna see him right now, don’t you?” Olivia shot her a look. “Not at all. By the way, don’t tell him I made a trip to City Palace today.”
“Why?” “Well, he didn’t bring it up to me about what happened at the palace. In other words, he doesn’t want me to know, so I’ll pretend just that.” Olivia then texted North to tell him to keep it at secret as well. “So, are you going to see him tomorrow?”
Olivia smiled. “Yeah, he said he’s going to the police station tomorrow. Let’s give him a surprise.” Jewel nodded in agreement. “Sure. Tomorrow it is.”
When the ladies woke up the next day, their faces had returned to their old forms. They. looked in the mirror and thought their original looks were the best.
They had just finished changing clothes when, someone knocked on the door. Curious, Olivia opened the door. Christoff was standing outside, smiling at her devilishly. “So, any plans today?”
She answered without a moment of hesitation, “I’m going to see Eugene.” Christoff’s smile went stiff upon hearing that.. Then, he said in disbelief, “Why? Do you want him to find out you’re here?”
“He probably knows already. The only thing he doesn’t know is that I went to City Palace.” Christoff demanded, “You came with me, so you need to be with me.” She stared at him and corrected him in all seriousness. “It’s you who came with me. Not the other way round.”
He couldn’t find any comeback to her statement, so eventually, he relented, “Fine, I’ll go with you, then.” All he wanted was to be with her anyway. Olivia frowned. “What for? Anyway, you should go home first. I still wanna stay around for al few days.”
He narrowed his eyes as he stared at her. “Are you ditching me after you’re done using me?” She crossed her arms and replied icily, “I said I owe you one. You don’t want Eugene to find out what you did, right?”
“Of course not. You’d better keep that a secret, or else…”
Her frown deepened upon hearing his words. “Do you have to add an underlying threat every time you speak?” Christoff never noticed he had that habit. “I’m just trying to present the pros and cons of the situation.”
She argued, “And that clearly shows that your don’t have faith in us. If you don’t trust us, why did you help us then? You must have some ulterior motives to do that.” He looked at her with a devilish smile tugged at his lips. “Indeed, I do. I want you.”
“And I’d have believed that if not for your harem.” “I do have a harem, but none of them is Eugene’s girlfriend.”
“So, Eugene is the one you’re after, not me,” Olivia stated. “If you follow me, Eugene’s gonna see you, and he’ll know I was the girl with you that night. I’ll tell him everything if he asks. I’m always honest with my boyfriend.”
