When She Stops Playing Nice
Chapter 197
Olivia knew that in front of Gina, quibbling was useless. So she told the truth. âI followed Cathy here.â
Gina was taken aback. She hadnât expected Olivia to know Cathy.
Gina said calmly to the guard, âBring Cathy over.â
âOkay.â
For your
Cathy walked into the surveillance room with a smile on her face. âMiss Miller, what can I do for
Before she could finish her sentence, she noticed Olivia standing in the corner.
âOlivia? Why are you here?â
Olivia did not say anything.
Gina answered for her, âShe said that she followed you here. Did you bring her here?â
Cathy quickly shook her head. She recalled Ginaâs warning not to bring anyone to medicine land, so she kept the location a secret from everyone. Andy had asked her about it the night before, but she chose not to tell him.
way that she would tell Olivia.
There was no way
âOlivia, did you follow me?â Cathy couldnât believe it.
Olivia confessed, âYes, I followed you here. I was really curious. You mentioned having a good job, so I wanted to come and see for mysell.â
Cathy was taken by surprise and felt a bit nervous. She was afraid that Gina might be upset.
âMiss Miller, I swear I didnât tell Olivia about where I work. I had no idea she followed me here. Iâm truly sorry,â Cathy said, feeling a bit flustered.
âAre you friends?â Gina asked.
Oliviaâs expression finally changed slightly.
Cathy did not hesitate. âYes.â
She looked at Olivia. âHas Olivia been arrested? Miss Miller, she was probably just curious. Sheâs not a bad person. Can you release her?â
Il Cathy didnât acknowledge Olivia as her friend and kept her distance, Gina might have thought that Cathy was not as genuine as she appeared. However, Cathy didnât try to conceal or avoid the fact. This made Gina believe that Cathy was truly a sincere person.
âYou may leave,â Gina said to Olivia.
The guard released Olivia.
Olivia hastened her steps and departed. Cathy looked at Oliviaâs retreating figure and remarked, âMiss Miller, I will be back in a moment.â
Cathy caught up to Olivia. âOlivia, wait a minute.â)
Olivia stopped in her tracks. She was already prepared for Cathyâs blame.

âWhy did you stalk me?â
Olivia was feeling a bit impatient. âI was just curious, thatâs all. Scold me if youâd like.â
Cathy did not understand, âWhy should I scold you?â
Olivia conceded defeat and said, âI believe Gina is about to fire you. If you want to blame me for costing you lose your job, go ahead.â
Cathy was getting more and more confused. âWhy would Miss
Miss Miller fire me? I didnât do anything wrong.â
77%
Olivia sneered. âBecause you admitted that Iâm your friend. Gina and I are enemies. She will definitely fire you.â
but Cathodic
Olivia stated confidently, saying, âThat wonât happen. Miss Miller is a very principled person. She wouldnât dismiss me because of personal issues.â
Upon hearing Cathy praise Gina, Oliviaâs nails dug into her palm and an unknown flame of emotion rose within her. âItâs your choice whether to believe it or not,â she responded.
Cathy couldnât comprehend why Olivia was upset for no apparent reason. Despite this, she asked out of concern, âDid the guard harm you just now?â
âIs that what you want to ask?â
âYes.
Olivia was silent for a moment. âIâm fine. Also, if Gina asks about our relationship, tell her itâs terrible.â
For the first time, Olivia had the thought of not wanting to get someone involved.
With that, she left without looking back.
When Cathy returned to the surveillance room, Gina was still there. Cathy inquired, âMiss Miller, youâre still here. Are you planning to fire me?â
Gina was a little surprised. âWhy should I fire you? Youâre doing very well. Keep it up.â
Gina came over to inspect the medicinal herb. Impressed by its quality, she was pleased with Cathyâs diligent work ethic.
Gina asked Cathy, âHow did you know Olivia? Are yo
you very close?â
Cathy continued to speak the truth. She told Gina how she met Olivia and said, âNow, she is my neighbor.â
âIs she working now?â
Cathy thought for a moment. âI donât think so.â
Olivia didnât even have enough money to buy food. Although Cathy didnât understand why Olivia wasnât going to work, she respected Oliviaâs privacy and never probed further.
âOkay, you may go back to work,â Gina didnât ask more questions.
ââ
Olivia returned to her apartment feeling disoriented. Just as she was about to lie down and sleep, she received an unfamiliar call. Assuming it was harassment call, she ended it. However, the call came again. Olivia suddenly wondered if it was the blond man calling, as he had mentioned that he would not contact her using a telephone.

Olivia answered the call
âHello, Miss Olivia. This is Miss Ginaâs lawyer. We are aware that you havenât been looking for a job lately, which could potentially delay the repayment of Miss Ginaâs debt by you. I kindly urge you to consider returning to work and settling your debt promptly. Otherwise, we may have to resort to legal action and restrict your extravagant spending
Olivia was shocked. Gina had assured her that she wouldnât go to jail as long as she paid a billion dollars. Additionally, Gina had requested her to sign an agreement of arrears to ensure she kept her promise. But how did Gina know she wasnât seeking a job?
âMiss Olivia, are you listening?â
Olivia gritted her teeth. âIâm in my third year of university, Isnât it normal that I donât have a job?â
âYes, I know. But now, you owe my agent a huge amount of money. You at least need to work part-time, donât you?
âBesides, you havenât been to school in a long time, have you?â
Gina was trembling with anger. The lawyerâs casual tone made her feel humiliated.
She had been absent from school for quite some time. The school had already cautioned her that if she continued to miss classes and did not return, she would have to withdraw from school. Olivia was now reluctant to go back to school Students at Trowell University were discussing her and Gina on
How could she even show her face at school? She would rather quit than face ridicule from others. Besides, she could barely afford to eat now, let alone pay her tuition fees next semester. So be it!
âunderstand. IâU go find a job.â
After Olivia finished speaking, she ended the call. The first thing that crossed her mind was that Cathy had informed Gina about her current situation.
âB**h! Who does she think she is?â she thought.
