The next day, Olivia took North to the studio with her. On the way, they were stuck in traffic.
The next day, Olivia took North to the studio with her. On the way, they were stuck in traffic.
The car had been in a complete standstill since forever, and honking sounds could be heard
everywhere. There were cars that got in each other's way, as well as cars that were supposed to move
but were stationed instead, a bustling scene to behold.
All of a sudden, Olivia's cell phone rang. Putting on the Bluetooth earphone on her ear, Kate's voice
sounded from the call. "Olivia, did I say anything embarrassing yesterday?"
"I don't think so," said Olivia.
âIt was my first time having dinner with such a reputable person, so I was kind of nervous,â Kate
confessed.
âNervous? Isnât he human like you? With two eyes and a mouth!â
âThatâs not what I meant. The moment he sat down, I had difficulty breathing. I really donât understand
how you interact with him. That reminds me! I wanted to ask you since yesterdayâdoes Eugene like
you?â
Hearing that, Oliviaâs heart skipped a beat. âQuit your nonsense! He has countless girls running after
him, so why would he like me?â
Sitting in the back, North had heard what Olivia said, and he felt joy bubbled up inside of him. I guess I
wasnât the only one who thought that Daddy likes Mommy!
âCan you explain why he helped us, then? And what about the house? If he doesnât like you, why would
he do so much for you?â questioned Kate.
Anxious, Olivia explained, âWhat else? He just happened to be around us when that incident occurred.
Isnât it normal for a friend to help out? And about the house, he said it was to pay me for my
consultation. I had been to the Nolan Residence several times, and he had never paid me a single
cent. Do you think itâs that easy to seek for my consultation?â
âFine! Youâre good, and I simply cannot win against your silver tongue. Wanna bet?â
âAre you that bored?â
âChicken!â
Crashâ!
Before Olivia could reply, a car just cut in line in front of her, and she didnât manage to brake in time,
hence her car crashed into the car.
With that, Olivia noticed the car had just turned on its blinker. Slapping her forehead, Olivia said, âIâll
talk to you later. Something popped up.â
Upon hanging up the call, she saw a man and a woman getting out of the car before her.
The woman was wearing a black skin-tight dress with a beige woolen overcoat. Knocking rudely on
Oliviaâs side window, she shouted, âGet down this instant! Canât you see our car just now? Did you
deliberately crash into us?â
Frowning, Olivia wasnât pleased at all.
Frankly, the damage on the car didnât bother her much, for most importantly was that no one was badly
hurt. Besides, considering it was such a close distance, there were probably just a few scratches on the
car.
By right, they shouldâve turned on their blinkers if they had wished to cut in line. However, Olivia figured
she shouldnât have talked on the phone too, so she had to share the blame. Anyhow, it would be fair to
just take matters into their own hands, but this woman was acting plain rude.
Getting out of her car, Olivia checked on the condition and realized there were indeed scratches on the
left side of the front car bumper. The car in front of her was a Mercedes-Benz, and it seemed to have
received much more damage as the passenger door was dented.
The man didnât say anything but was seen touching on the spot that was badly damaged.
Refusing to back down, the woman jeered, âWe just bought this car, and look at what youâve done.â
Dumbfounded, Olivia argued, âWell, my car is new too, and it was scratched. Besides, your car cut in
line and didnât even turn on the blinkers. Why are you acting like it was all my fault?â
Behaving like a shrew, the woman pointed at the flashing blinkers and bellowed, âAre you blind? Canât
you see that the blinker is still on? Youâre the one who was on the phone while driving! Donât you know
that itâs against the law?â
Extending a stop gesture, Olivia said, âAlright, letâs not argue. Itâs not worth our time. Letâs call for the
police and let them determine whether I had violated the law.â
