Chapter 524 They had been chatting online before this, but now he was suddenly suggesting he meet her. Olivia was both surprised and nervous, but she still replied, [No problem.]
She just had to quickly draw a beautiful first draft.
After eating the spaghetti, Olivia took a bath and decided to go out.
âLiv, where are you going?â
âTo work.â
âYou have a hangover and a headache. Take a day off today. Iâve already talked to Jennie about it.â
Olivia smiled. âItâs alright. Iâve eaten spaghetti, and now, I feel better. My client is urging me to send him a first draft. I have to finish it quickly.â
âWait.â
Fred took a thermos flask and handed it to her. âTake this.â
âWhat is this?â
âTea. Itâs good for your health, especially for hangovers.â
After Olivia took it, she patted his hand. âFred, I must thank you for caring for me for so many years.â
âLiv, you donât have to thank me.â
âWell, being my brother means taking care of me.â
With that, Olivia chuckled and headed to work.
Once she was in the atelier, she started to beautify Mr. Mâs first draft.
However, her head hurt because of the hangover, making her unable to focus, which frustrated her.
Suddenly, the assistant knocked on the door, holding flowers in his hand. He said, âMs. James, the flowers for today are here.â
Olivia frowned. âJust put it in the vase as usual. Why do you have to show them to me?â
âThereâs a card and a box today.â
Olivia glanced at it. âGive me the card and the box. Take out the flowers and put them in a vase.â
âOkayâ
âClose the door for me on your way out.â
âOkay, Ms. James.â
Xavier was the sender of these flowers. She had rejected them, but he would not listen to her, so she could only accept it.
However, she did not understand what he was up to today.
When she opened the card, she saw many lines of words.
[I wanted to send you home last night, but I was afraid you might think I was taking advantage of the situation, so I called Fred to pick you up. I hope you donât mind.]
[The gift is my apology. After all, I said I would drink with you last night, but I drank very little.]
[You are a designer. You might not like ordinary jewelry if I give it to you. So, I looked for something else.]
[This is the cinnabar amulet bracelet I asked someone to make for me. Donât worry. I have never worn it before. I hope it can keep you safe.]
[On the other hand, regarding the choices and regrets discussed last night, I would like to say that whatever you fear will come to you. If you are forced to, you might as well choose, right?]
[Finally, donât call me back. Iâll be abroad by the time you see this card.]
After reading the card, Olivia opened the box on the side and found a cinnabar amulet bracelet.
She smiled.
That man was an expert at winning a womanâs heart. His words were caring and straightforward, yet creative.
Olivia shook her head somewhat helplessly. She could not do anything about it.
After a moment of silence, she took out her phone to make a call.
âKen, donât hang up just yet,â She paused. âIâm not here to advise you. I just want to remind you to be careful. Even if the Lucas family is powerful, the Jameson family is the same. Donât rush into things. Iâm afraid...â
âI know.â
âCan you tell me when you find out the truth?â
Ken remained silent for a moment and answered, âOf course I will tell you.
âOkay. Then, be careful, and keep in touch.â
After hanging-up the call, Olivia a sigh of relief. She was selfish when she questioned Ken, but stopping him from taking revenge was also selfish.
She was afraid she could not get past herself.
Now that she had said it out loud, she felt better.
Just as she was deep in her thoughts, Jennie walked into her office.
âWhat are you thinking about? You seem so distracted.â
Olivia was startled for a moment. âNothing. Just a hangover headache.â
âYou should have taken a day off at home and rested well.â
âItâs okay. Mr. M is urging me for the first draft, and I canât reject him.â
Jennie nodded. She walked over to Olivia and bit her lips as she asked, âWho was the man who came to look for you yesterday?â
