Chapter 502: 502: Falling Down The Mountain
In an instant, Olivia Jenkins was taken aback by David Jefferson.
To avoid the awkwardness, Olivia patted David’s back and said some encouraging words.
Seemingly realizing his broken composure, David let go of Olivia.
Olivia calmly smiled, trying her best to alleviate the tense atmosphere, “David, no need to worry. The team will take care of the security. You will definitely be protected.”
David simply nodded.
Still wearing a charming smile, Olivia added, “You should touch up your makeup and tidy your costume a bit. We must maintain good appearances.”
Immediately, David’s assistant accepted and requested a makeup artist for a touch-up.
Olivia’s eyelashes fluttered lightly as she stepped away.
As Olivia lazily stretched, she heard Benjamin Davis’s voice from behind.
Olivia turned back and said, “I feel guilty about making you work so hard.”
Volume and texture flooded Benjamin’s deep eyes. He locked onto Olivia’s every small smile and frown, “Thank you. I find the time here fulfilling.”
“The green mountains and clear water here, the fresh air, it’s quite comfortable living here. So peaceful, so calm. Nothing like the hustle and bustle of the big city.”
“Would you agree to live here for the rest of your life?”
Without any hesitation, Olivia responded, “I can’t right now. I haven’t got the Jenkins Group back on track, we aren’t profitable yet. I need to be cautious with each investment. However, I wouldn’t mind retiring here.”
Right as Benjamin was about to reply, the director called out for Olivia.
Olivia walked away, leaving Benjamin behind.
His warm gaze continued to follow her. Olivia seemed oblivious to David’s feelings for her.
The thought made Benjamin chuckle.
Young people were certainly braver, more willing to demonstrate their feelings.
Grace Ziegler had already signed a rental agreement for a small suite in the Garden of Core Euphoria, costing five thousand Yuan monthly.
Apparently, the landlord had moved abroad and was letting the place.
The only thing the landlord requested was that the furniture be well-maintained and the house stay clean, kept in the original condition. Thus, considering the strict conditions, the rent was relatively cheap.
So long as the rent was reasonable, maintaining cleanliness and the furniture was no big deal to Grace. She was determined to settle down in the prosperous heart of Serene City.
Before moving in, Grace decided to give Chief Daniel Marshall a call.
“Chief Marshall, I apologize for the bother. I’ve found a new place and am moving in tomorrow. I’d like to express my gratitude for your care by treating you to dinner, would you be free?”
Remembering something Adam Howard mentioned, Chief Marshall hesitated before agreeing, “Sure, tomorrow night. Dinner.”
“Great.” Holding back her joy, Grace added, “I’ll book the restaurant and send you the address later.”
“Okay! Bye, Chief Marshall!”
Immediately after she hung up, Grace bounded onto the bed, hugging her pillow tightly, laughing for a long while.
The thought of having dinner with Chief Marshall made Grace jump out of bed and pull out the new dress she had purchased.
After trying it on several times, she finally picked her favorite, one she found most beautiful.
Tomorrow night, she decided, she was going to dress up and make a lasting impression on Chief Marshall.
After shooting the breakfast scene, the actors followed the crew to pick oranges up in the mountains.
As they prepared to go downhill, Olivia, carrying a basket of oranges, slipped on the loose mud. She tumbled down, oranges and all.
