Chapter 453
Olivia was restless the entire night, and it caused her to lose sleep.
When she got up in the morning, Fred saw that she looked tired and had two dark circles under her
eyes, so he could not help frowning and advising. “Liv, you should sleep during the day today. Don’t go
out.”
“Today is Monday, so I have to go to work.”
“Liv, you are a partner, not an employee, so it’s okay if you don’t go in for a day.”
Olivia supported her head and sat at the dining table. “Grind a cup of coffee for me. I have to hand in
the first draft today, and there’s still a little left. I can’t breach the contract, right?”
“Is it the order from Xavier?”
“How do you know?”
Fred sneered while grinding his coffee. “It was just a guess, but Liv, that man is not a good person, so
you’d better stay away from him.”
Olivia took a bite of the sandwich and sighed. “I know, but he is our biggest client now, what can I do? I
can’t let the studio go bust.”

Fred suddenly looked up at her. “Actually, I can support you.”
Upon hearing this, Olivia chuckled. “You brat, why are you suddenly saying this? I still want you to
continue studying, and it’s not like you’re doing badly in your studies.”
“Don’t forget what I used to do. My income wasn’t lower than yours is now, so why can’t I support you?”
Fred handed her the coffee. “This way, you will have more time to spend with Lyla. Even if you want to
continue designing, it’ll be no problem. I’ll help you sell your products online.”
Olivia did not answer. She lowered her head and took a sip of coffee, then said with a smile, “The
coffee you ground is so delicious.”
“Liv, I’m serious.”
After a while, Olivia said, “I know, but Fred, I don’t want to stay at home.”
In the past, she gave up her dreams for love and devoted herself to being a housewife.
As a result, she lost her child, her home was destroyed, and her husband went to someone else.
Later, she hid at home because she was afraid.
Now, she had finally managed to walk out of the door and own her own studio, so how
could she back down?
“Liv, I…” Fred saw that Olivia was a little unhappy, so he quickly said, “I just want to tell you to not be
afraid. I am behind you, so you’re not really…”
“I know.”
Olivia patted his arm. “It’s time. Time to wake Lyla up.”
“Yeah, okay. I’ll go now.”
“I’m going to leave too. I’ll leave Lyla to you, Uncle Fred.”
Fred nodded. “Don’t worry. Go ahead.”
As soon as she arrived at the studio, Jennie dragged Olivia into the office.
“Pheebs, what happened to you last night? You left early and didn’t tell me. You scared me to death. I
thought something happened to you.”
“I’m fine. I was bored, so I left.”
“Really?” Jennie obviously did not believe her. “Pheebs, we’ve been together for three years. Don’t lie
to me if something has happened.”
Olivia smiled. “What are you saying? What could I have lied to you about?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSuddenly, Jennie said, “I heard that someone fell into the swimming pool last night. It wasn’t you,
right?”
Upon hearing this, Olivia’s smile froze, and she said perfunctorily, “No. Don’t worry.”
At this moment, the assistant knocked on the door. “Ms. James, a client is looking for you.”
“Who?”
“Someone named Mr. Freeman.”
‘Freeman…’
Olivia’s heart skipped a beat. She gave John her business card last night, so was he coming for her
now?
However, since he had come to the studio, she could not refuse to see him.
If she did, would that not be tantamount to exposing herself?
Olivia took a deep breath, pinched her thigh, and forced herself to cheer up. “Take him to the
conference room. I’ll be there in a bit.”
Jennie did not know what happened before, so she smiled and asked, “Pheebs, is he a client you got
from last night?”
