Chapter 441
After discussing the design, Olivia and Jennie walked Xavier to the door.
“Are you free this evening, Ms. James? Can we have dinner together? Consider it me making up to you, okay?”
Olivia shook her head. “Sorry, my brother cooks for me every day.”
Xavier smiled awkwardly. “Ms. James, you still have a problem with me. It seems it would take me a long time to change your impression of me.”
Olivia said nothing but gave a perfunctory smile.
After Xavier was gone, Jennie dragged Olivia into her office.
“Pheebs, what’s going on? Why do I get the feeling he’s attracted to you?”
Olivia rolled her eyes at her. “Am I supposed to be happy that a jerk is attracted to me?”
“No, what if it’s all a misunderstanding?”
“Even if it’s a misunderstanding.” Olivia turned around and walked outside. “Don’t forget I’m also a mother. I’m going to sketch.”
Xavier did not find Olivia again after that, and the matter was considered over.
It was not until a few nights later that Olivia got a sudden phone call while she was sound asleep.
“Ms. James, I’m sorry. This is Reminisce Bar. Mr. Hemsworth is drunk. You’re the emergency contact on his phone, so we can only call you. Could you come and pick him up?”
‘A bar?’
Olivia sobered up instantly. “Who’s drunk?”
“Mr. Hemsworth.”
‘That womanizer?”
What did his being drunk have to do with her?
After thinking about it, she decided to hang up.
“Who did you call? I told you I wasn’t drunk. What’s wrong with you?”
“What if she misunderstands again?”
It was Xavier’s voice, followed by the bartenders. “Sorry, Mr. Hemsworth. I’m afraid. something bad will happen to you when you’re already so drunk.”
“What does it have to do with you? Give me my phone back and f*ck off!”
