The reply came almost instantly. “What happened to your voice?’ ‘It’s nothing. Olivia said it’s a little inflamed, and I’ll be okay after taking some medication. Also, you should look for another bodyguard.
‘Are you quitting?’ Alex asked. Yeah, Olivia is in danger, and she will start filming in a few days. I would like to accompany her, Jewel replied. ‘Okay. Where are you now?’
‘I’m with Olivia.’
‘In her studio?” ‘But we’re going out to buy some medications and supplements later.’
‘I’ll wait for you at the studio. Jewel didn’t reply to his texts because she didn’t know how to break the news of her resignation to him. So, she typed on her phone and showed the screen to Olivia. ‘Let’s go to your office. If he comes over, tell him that I went home.’
Sure enough, Alex appeared at Olivia’s studio less than an hour later, but only Olivia was in the room. He swept his gaze across the studio and looked in suspiciously. “Where’s Jewel?”
Olivia took a seat calmly. “She went back.” “She already went home? Is she alright?” Olivia cast him a chilly look. “What are you asking about?” He was confused by the cool reception as he responded honestly, “I meant her voice. Isn’t her throat inflamed?”
“Yeah, it’s inflamed,” she answered. Then, he slid into a seat in front of her. “Is she okay? Will it affect her voice in the future?” She nonchalantly replied, “We’ll only know after she takes the medication and observing her condition.”
“She didn’t take any alcohol or spicy food. So, why is her throat inflamed all of a sudden?” Alex inquired. “All kinds of factors could be a cause of inflammation. Anxiety, excitement, anger, and speaking a lot could cause discomfort. Her throat is still healing, after all,” a stoic Olivia commented.
“Anxiety and anger? What’s making her anxious, and why would she be angry?” Olivia threw him a dirty look. “I’m just saying that those are the factors that could cause discomfort in her throat.”
