Some of them were still discussing what just transpired. Right then, someone pointed to the side and said, “Look, who is that man talking with Olivia and Jewel right now?” “I know him. Isn’t that the president of Road Enterprises, Alex Road? The perfect example of a playboy. I heard that the women beside him change so often that none of them lasted for more than a week.”
“Is Alex Road backing Olivia?” “No wonder she doesn’t bother putting up
with Summer!” “What’s the point? She might not even be the one standing next to him a week later!”
Naturally, Olivia didn’t bother with the gossip. around her. She was wondering why Alex was still hanging around waiting for them here.
As though he was here to stir more rumors about her, he flashed a smile and came over to Olivia and Jewel. “I had some business to settle here. I dropped by to see the two of you when I heard you girls were having a shoot here as well.”
Olivia’s mouth twitched in response. She thought to herself that rather than some pompous excuse like that, he should just be direct and say that Jewel was the reason for his visit.
“Why don’t you let me treat you two to a meal?” Olivia turned to Jewel for an answer, only for Jewel to give an indifferent shrug.
“Then let’s go!” After they were seated in a private room of a certain restaurant, Alex suggested, “Why don’t we call Eugene up and invite him here as well?”
Olivia replied, “Please don’t torment him about this. He’ll have to spend an hour and a half on the road just to have a meal here. That’s just not worth it for a single meal!”
Alex only glanced at Olivia after she was done. “Right, then let’s place our orders.”
However, Jewel stayed silent, making no indication that she was planning to order any dishes. In all honesty, Jewel had a bad impression of Alex. Nevertheless, that man was Olivia’s friend. She did not want to be the reason that prevented Olivia from spending time with her friend.
