Chapter 274

Tyler looked at Olivia when she heard Nina. Just then, another maid, Sofia Brooks, walked in. She went to Tyler and asked, “Sir, is this ma’am’s phone?”

He turned around when he heard her and then glanced at Olivia. “Is this it?”

Olivia was surprised that Sofia had her phone. “Yes, that’s mine. Where did you find it?”

She quickly grabbed the phone and tried to turn it on. Despite pressing the power button several times, it wouldn’t start.

Olivia mumbled, “What’s wrong? Why won’t it turn on?”

That’s when Tyler suggested, “Maybe the battery’s dead?”

“I’m not sure what’s wrong,” Olivia responded, puzzled.

“Try charging it,” he said.

Nina hurried to fetch the charger. Everyone expected the phone to turn on once it was plugged in, but nothing happened.

“Ma’am, it looks like it’s broken,” Nina remarked.

“How did it get broken?” Olivia examined the phone closely, then turned to Sofia. “I found it downstairs while I was cleaning. I didn’t know it was yours until I asked,” the latter explained.

Olivia found it strange that her phone ended up downstairs since she had been in her room lately. She continued to fiddle with the phone, trying to turn it on, but to no avail.

“Can’t get it to work?” Tyler asked.

“It seems like it won’t turn on,” Olivia admitted, looking disappointed.

Tyler then said to Sofia, “There’s a spare one in my room. Bring it over.”

Sofia hesitated before answering, “Okay,” and then headed to Tyler’s room.

“Is that alright with you, Tyler?” Olivia looked up, “I could try to get this one fixed. Maybe it’s not completely broken.”

“Forget about it if it’s already broken. I have an extra one lying around,” Tyler reassured her.

Sofia returned soon after with the new phone.

“Give it a try,” Tyler encouraged.

She handed it to Olivia. It was the latest iPhone. The phone was white, a good match for her.

Olivia found it odd. The phone seemed less like a spare and more like it was specifically bought for her.

But she didn’t dwell on it. After switching on the new phone, she attempted to insert her old SIM card, only to find that it wasn’t working.

“Is the SIM broken too?” Tyler asked.

Now Olivia was truly worried. She had saved many important contacts and data on her old phone.

She kept removing and inserting the SIM card, but it was no use.

Tyler, however, remained calm as he watched her struggle. “There’s a new SIM card in the box. Use that for now,” he suggested.

Olivia was bewildered. “Why did everything stop working all of a sudden?”
