Seeing how beautiful she looked after she dressed, not only did Patricia compliment her beauty, but Aunt Cynthia and Grandma Mildred also did. In their words, Grandma Mildred said, “Julius would only be blind if he didn’t see your beauty and wanted to have you back.”Olivia smiled widely at this compliment. She was the kind of lady who loved being complimented, and on that day, she indeed knew that she was very beautiful. Hence, she only offered a slight smile in response.As she got out of the house, she was not alone. Grandma Mildred, Patricia, Aunt Cynthia, and even Ethan, like a family seeing off their beloved daughter at the airport, enveloped her in a hug as they waved goodbye to Olivia.“I wish you good luck.” Each of them waved to her with buoyant smiles on their faces as they watched her flag down a taxi and step into it.As the taxi driver moved the car, “To the Sabbath Mansion,” she said with a smile still on her face. In response, the taxi driver said, “Yes, ma’am. The Sab
“Are there any exemptions to this rule?” Olivia forced herself to ask after standing at the gate for quite a few minutes and still being unable to go through. "The exemption is only for the family members of the boss," the guard said confidently, his tone as resolute as a seasoned gatekeeper defending his master's domain. This prompted Olivia to inquire further, her curiosity stirring like a restless breeze on a hot summer day, seeking relief in the shade of the guard's explanation. “What about his girlfriend?” “Certainly, if the boss has a girlfriend, she is also exempted from this policy and can come in at any time she wants,” the guard explained, his words flowing like a stream over smooth pebbles, carrying with them a sense of authority softened by understanding. With that, Olivia swiftly retrieved her phone from her purse. As she brought out her phone, she quickly scroll through G****e Photos and launched her backup photos. Scrolling down further, like a roll of the dice, she
Finally walking for what seemed like a journey spanning eternity from the gate to the mansion, Olivia was already sweating profusely, her brow glistening like a marathon racer who had been running relentlessly for three days without rest.She heaved a heavy breath immediately upon reaching the mansion. And in a spectacle that surpassed her wildest dreams, she beheld the magnificence of the mansion and the array of luxurious vehicles adorning Julius's compound."Wow!" she exclaimed more times than she could count. Each luxurious sight before her was a manifestation of opulence she never imagined she would witness in her lifetime.With the meticulously manicured gardens with exotic flowers and rare plants, the cascading waterfalls flowing into serene ponds stocked with colorful koi fish, the tennis court boasting professional-grade surfaces, and the fully equipped outdoor kitchen and dining area designed for entertaining guests, all of these things made Olivia find herself in a state of
Taking her order and walking further into the mansion, it was not up to thirty minutes before Olivia saw the same lady coming right back towards her.In this way, Olivia observed how she carefully balanced a tray laden with an exquisite spread of culinary delights. The main dish, expertly plated and garnished with fresh herbs, was placed at the center of the tray, showcasing all its delicious glory.Alongside it rested a side dish, elegantly arranged to complement the main course, with its vibrant colors and enticing aromas tantalizing the senses, and Olivia could not help but salivate.On one side of the tray, a selection of appetizers was arranged with precision, each bite-sized delicacy presented with artistic flair, from delicate canapés to savory tartlets.Completing the ensemble, a bottle of fine wine was cradled securely in the lady’s other hand, its label gleaming under the ambient light."Here, ma’am,” the lady said politely as she reached Olivia and placed the tray on a stan
With what Julius said and how he said it, with the gesture on his face and the composure of his body, Olivia took another look at him as if she had not seen him before. And at this moment, Julius appeared anew in her presence. She glanced at his shoes, his glasses, his dress, and his wristwatch, realizing that Julius was truly who he claimed to be. “Huh,” she said immediately, not knowing the right word to say. However, she knew she was going to say something. “Julius, you know... I… huh…” She continued to stammer, thinking about the right word to say to Julius at this instance, flicking her fingers through her hair like a shy cat about to ask her master for a bowl of milk. “Julius, you know... I really... do love you?” She finally said it from her heart, and if Julius did not smirk, it was a lie. “Love?” Julius said. “I don’t think a girl like you is capable of love, Olivia,” Julius said, and Olivia’s eyes widened in more shock. “What do you mean?” she asked immediately, beginn
“You never stopped loving me?” Julius couldn’t believe his ears at what he just heard. The idea that Olivia would lie about something like that struck him as incredibly amusing. Hence, he turned back to her and revealed his smirk boldly. “Did you forget what you said so suddenly, or are you just acting for a movie role here?” Julius said it immediately. “I swear, Julius! I swear it on my mother’s life; I always loved you, even when I was with Alexander. I never wanted him. I always wanted you.” “Hahaha!” Julius laughed once more. “This is indeed a movie role, Olivia, is it not?” He said, then continued, “Look here, lady. I am not some toy you play with. I have real emotions, real blood flowing right in my veins. So, don’t be telling all these lies. I am also very smart; when I see a hyena laughing so hysterically, I know it’s not because they found genuine happiness, but because they found prey to feast upon.” “You, Olivia Stone, are a f**king liar!! You are a hyena, and I want no
Olivia did not see this coming. "What?" she exclaimed suddenly as Julius said this to her."I should do what?" she said, still in shock. "Julius?" she called out to him as she saw him walking away confidently.She still could not believe Julius could say these words to her, despite everything she had confessed. "How can you be so cold-hearted?" she shouted, seeing that Julius had walked further into the mansion and she could no longer see him."What?" She still could not believe what had just happened."But he moved closer to me.""But he almost lifted my jaw to his lips and placed a kiss on me.""What the hell?"Different words escaped her mouth. Nevertheless, it did not mean that when Julius left, Mr. Turner left with him. According to Julius' gestured instruction, Mr. Turner waited behind in the visitors' area, his eyes coldly shooting at Olivia.No matter how much Olivia's frustration was evident on her face, and despite her unwillingness to leave and her desire for Julius to retu
The first reporter who approached her was clad in a crisp white shirt tucked into a fitted blue suit with a matching blue skirt. Her straight, dark hair flowed to her shoulders, and her black shoes were leather heels that added to her height.“Miss Olivia, thank you for accommodating our request despite its impromptu nature,” the reporter said.“Oh! No worries; please fire away. I will answer all questions,” Olivia replied, feeling like a celebrity basking in the attention.At that moment, a thought suddenly struck her. “It's a nice thing to associate with Julius. I can become popular from this, and I can start getting endorsements.”"I can become wealthy on my own even if Julius fails to date me again.” She loved this thought so much that she couldn't help but smile suddenly.“Miss Olivia, may we know why you are suddenly happy?” The reporter interrupted immediately.“Oh! Don’t mind me. I just remembered something very good.”“Do you mind sharing that with us, Miss Olivia?”“Oh! No!
