Terrified by his fierce gaze, Sophia froze and respectfully replied without a moment of hesitation, âPlease wait a second while I get her.â While saying so, she dashed into the back room.
In the meantime, Olivia was instructing one of the designers when she saw Sophia entering frantically. She looked up and asked, âWhatâs the matter?â After composing herself, Sophia answered, âThereâs a man outside insisting to see you.â
Olivia was shocked. âWho?â She set down the things in her hand and rose to her feet to head outside. Sophia then gave her a heads-up. âI donât recognize him, but he looks kind of scary. Miss Olivia, please be careful.â
In response, Olivia acknowledged Sophiaâs warning and went out. However, she was dumbfounded when she saw the man before her. Back when she was at Double Dragon Court, she had been educated on a few influential figures, so she could easily recognize him-he was the leader of Samuel Court, Christoff Stevenson. Cruel and violence were his middle name. Why is he here?
Without much time to think about it, she politely greeted Christoff, âHi there, I heard youâre looking for me. Whatâs the matter?â A trace of shock subconsciously appeared in Christoffâs eyes while he forced a smile on his originally cold face. âSo, youâre Eugene Nolanâs woman, Olivia Maxwell?â
Hearing that question, Olivia seemed to have realized a lot of things. So, this is why he insists on meeting me. He must be one of the assassins from Samuel Court, who was sent to jail by Eugene and is now out for revenge!
âYes, I am, and you are?â She pretended not to know him. The man chuckled. âNo wonder Eugene keeps you so well-protected.
Youâre indeed gorgeous.â Olivia humbly replied, âIâm flattered. Just at matter of type, I suppose.â
Christoff asked with a raised eyebrow, âDoes your store provide custom-made clothes?â She answered, âWe do.â âIf thatâs the case, Iâd like for you to design a set for me,â he said. Olivia affirmed, âSure. Have a seat, sir.â While saying so, she pulled out a chair to get him seated.
After Christoff sat down, he kept staring at Olivia. This left Olivia with slightly furrowed eyebrows, but she quickly composed herself. âSir, can I have your last name?â Leaning lazily against the chair, he half- heartedly uttered, âStevenson!â
With a professional attitude, she asked, âDo you have a preferred design? Or you can tell me what kind of style youâd like, and Iâll try my best to satisfy your requests.â Grinning, Christoff looked at her with affectionate eyes. âSatisfy my requests? Ha! Miss Maxwell, your words are misleading.â
While looking at him, Olivia explained, âWhat I meant is that I will satisfy any requests you have on the style of your custom-
made clothing. Mr. Stevenson, you should control your imaginations.â
He burst out laughing and suddenly leaned. forward while looking at her with a teasing gaze. âItâs hard for me to control myself with you sitting in front of me.â Her face instantly fell. âIf thatâs the case, I might have to ask you to leave, Mr. Stevenson.â
As his expression darkened, Christoff sneered. âLeave? How are you supposed to manage a business when you canât even take a small joke?â However, Olivia did not back down. Iâm running a clothing store, not a nightclub!â
He retorted, âWhatâs the difference? You still have to satisfy your customerâs requests.â âOf course, there is a difference. None of my customers talk like you!â she rebuked coldly. A smirking Christoff asked, âWhat? Have I offended you?â
She replied, âYes, you have. If you want someone to satisfy that kind of request, you have the wrong store. Please leave!â He laughed in response. âYou look like an innocent little rabbit on the outside, but youâre actually a wildcat. Miss Maxwell, it seems that your appearance is rather deceiving.
