Chapter 525 âA friend.â
Olivia asked casually, âWhy are you asking?â
Jennie smiled. âNothing. He just seemed a little cold, so I thought it was your ex-husband coming to look for trouble. Thatâs why I asked.â
âDonât worry. That man is not my ex-husband. He is not usually like that.â
âReally? Whatâs he usually like?â
âWell. He is usually funny and elegant. He doesnât have a beard and is usually cheerful.â
âOh, I see. He looked a bit sad yesterday and a bit... murderous...â
Olivia lifted her head and stared at Jennie as she asked, âJennie, why do you want to know about this so badly?â
âI-I care about you.â
Jennie felt a little guilty and did not have the guts to look into Oliviaâs eyes.
H Feeling that something was not right, Olivia stood up, held Jennieâs face, and gazed into her eyes. Look at me. Tell me, have you seen him before? Or... Have you fallen in love with him at first sight?â
âNo! Thatâs impossible.â
Jennie grinned and pushed her away. âWhat are you talking about, Pheebs? Do I look like the kind. of person who falls in love at first sight? Besides, how could I like him when he looked so old?â
âAre you sure?â
âOf course!â
However, the more Olivia observed, the more she felt like Jennie was behaving unusually.
In all the years she had known Jennie, she had never seen her care for any man.
Jennie was cold even to her ex-boyfriend.
However, when it was about Ken, she showed a hint of shyness and guilt.
It was just that they had only met once, and Jennie could not possibly fall for someone so quickly.
However, Olivia felt it was her duty as a friend to warn Jennie. She said thoughtfully, âJennie, I donât care if thatâs the case. I have to warn you about something.
âDonât think about dating that man. It wonât work out.â
Jennie was startled, and she chuckled as she patted Oliviaâs shoulder. âWhy do you look so serious? I said itâs not because of that.â
Olivia said nothing more and poured her a cup of drink. âDrink it. Itâs good for your health.â
âOkay.â
She had said what she wanted to say. There was nothing she could do anymore.
Two days later, when Olivia had finished the first draft, she immediately messaged Mr. M.
[Mr. M, Iâve finished the first draft. Do you want to collect it at the atelier, or should I meet you somewhere else?]
A while later, Olivia received a reply.
[4.00 p.m. at Moonshride Hotel. Room 3606.]
It was a simple message.
In the afternoon, Olivia saw it was almost time.
She packed the first draft and informed Jennie before she left.
It was her first meeting with Mr. M, and she wanted to make a good impression.
However, nervousness struck her, and her hands were sweaty.
It was four oâclock sharp when she reached Room 3606. Olivia took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
However, after knocking on the door and waiting for a long time without getting any response, she, knocked again. âSir, Iâm Phoebe from the TO Atelier.â
At this moment, a staff member approached her.
âAre you Ms. Phoebe James?â
Olivia nodded. âI am.â
âThis is the room access card Mr. M asked me to give you.â With that, he handed her the room card and walked away.
Room access card?
Olivia was confused and even a little panicked.
After all, she had gone experienced many unfriendly incidents in hotels.
However, she was already there and had to see what was going on. She bit her lips and opened the door.
It was a bright and spacious suite, but no one was in there.
She wondered where Mr. M was. It occurred to her that he might be hiding somewhere.
Just then, to her surprise, the phone in the room rang.
