Chapter 453 Olivia was restless the entire night, and it caused her to lose sleep.
When she got up in the morning, Fred saw that she looked tired and had two dark circles under her eyes, so he could not help frowning and advising. âLiv, you should sleep during the day today. Donât go out.â
âToday is Monday, so I have to go to work.â
âLiv, you are a partner, not an employee, so itâs okay if you donât go in for a day.â
Olivia supported her head and sat at the dining table. âGrind a cup of coffee for me. I have to hand in the first draft today, and thereâs still a little left. I canât breach the contract, right?â
âIs it the order from Xavier?â
âHow do you know?â
Fred sneered while grinding his coffee. âIt was just a guess, but Liv, that man is not a good person, so youâd better stay away from him.â
Olivia took a bite of the sandwich and sighed. âI know, but he is our biggest client now, what can I do? I canât let the studio go bust.â
âLiv.â
Fred suddenly looked up at her. âActually, I can support you.â
Upon hearing this, Olivia chuckled. âYou brat, why are you suddenly saying this? I still want you to continue studying, and itâs not like youâre doing badly in your studies.â
âDonât forget what I used to do. My income wasnât lower than yours is now, so why canât I support you?â
Fred handed her the coffee. âThis way, you will have more time to spend with Lyla. Even if you want to continue designing, itâll be no problem. Iâll help you sell your products online.â
Olivia did not answer. She lowered her head and took a sip of coffee, then said with a smile, âThe coffee you ground is so delicious.â
âLiv, Iâm serious.â
After a while, Olivia said, âI know, but Fred, I donât want to stay at home.â
In the past, she gave up her dreams for love and devoted herself to being a housewife.
As a result, she lost her child, her home was destroyed, and her husband went to someone else.
Later, she hid at home because she was afraid.
Now, she had finally managed to walk out of the door and own her own studio, so how could she back down?
âLiv, I...â Fred saw that Olivia was a little unhappy, so he quickly said, âI just want to tell you to not be afraid. I am behind you, so youâre not really...â
âI know.â
Olivia patted his arm. âItâs time. Time to wake Lyla up.â
âYeah, okay. Iâll go now.â
âIâm going to leave too. Iâll leave Lyla to you, Uncle Fred.â
Fred nodded. âDonât worry. Go ahead.â
As soon as she arrived at the studio, Jennie dragged Olivia into the office.
âPheebs, what happened to you last night? You left early and didnât tell me. You scared me to death. I thought something happened to you.â
âIâm fine. I was bored, so I left.â
âReally?â Jennie obviously did not believe her. âPheebs, weâve been together for three years. Donât lie to me if something has happened.â
Olivia smiled. âWhat are you saying? What could I have lied to you about?â
Suddenly, Jennie said, âI heard that someone fell into the swimming pool last night. It wasnât you, right?â
Upon hearing this, Oliviaâs smile froze, and she said perfunctorily, âNo. Donât worry.â
At this moment, the assistant knocked on the door. âMs. James, a client is looking for you.â
âWho?â
âSomeone named Mr. Freeman.â
âFreeman...â
Oliviaâs heart skipped a beat. She gave John her business card last night, so was he coming for her now?
However, since he had come to the studio, she could not refuse to see him.
If she did, would that not be tantamount to exposing herself?
Olivia took a deep breath, pinched her thigh, and forced herself to cheer up. âTake him to the conference room. Iâll be there in a bit.â
Jennie did not know what happened before, so she smiled and asked, âPheebs, is he a client you got from last night?â
