Chapter 511
Olivia’s life felt like it completely quietened down after that night.
John no longer called her on the phone, and Xavier no longer came knocking on her door.
The only bad thing was that she had to go to the police station every now and then to take statements to testify against Jenson Luke.
On the following Monday, the moment she reached the atelier, Jennie pulled her frantically into her office.
“Pheebs, there’s a job that could earn us quite a bit, but it’s really up to you if you want to take it up.”
Olivia saw how solemn Jennie was and smiled. “Why so serious? You’re the one that has always made the decisions about things like this, right?”
Jennie was a little guilty. “It’s to do with Xavier. Even though I may be in charge of liaising with the clients, you’re the one doing the designs, so you’d have to still communicate with the client, right?”
“Spit it out. What project is this?”
“Actually…” Jennie licked her lips. “It won’t cause you too much hassle, now that you don’t have to meet the client physically since all communication will be online.”
“Online?”
“Yeah, they found me online as well, rather than calling me.”
Olivia was a little wary. “It’s not a scam, is it?”
“No. They’ve already paid us the deposit…”
Then, Jennie lifted up her phone to show Olivia. “Look. The moment the client decided to hire us, he immediately transferred two hundred thousand dollars as a deposit.”
Olivia frowned. She could not help but feel a little wary when it came to too-good-to-be-true projects like this.
However, she knew that the shortfall amount the atelier had because of Jenson was not a small amount, so they needed that money.
Jennie saw how anxious Olivia was and added, “Don’t worry, Pheebs. This isn’t a scam. Also.. the reason he chose us is that he really liked your concept.”
“My concept?”
“Yeah. He mentioned that he really liked the concept of The One. The only one for a lifetime. He had his eye on the ring you designed which won a prize, saying that he loved how it had a story. behind it.”
Olivia was pleasantly surprised. “Really?”
