The two specifically chose a seat from which they could enjoy the performance on stage. Following that, they
ordered a few dishes which they had not tried before. The experience of dining there was atmospherically great.
They were able to enjoy the deliciously and delicately prepared dishes with their loved one seated in front of them
as they listened to the beautifully played classical tunes.
Who would not enjoy having a meal there? By the end of their meal, Olivia looked up at Eugene and finally asked,
“Do you know Christoff Stevenson?”
Hearing that name, he was caught by surprise. “Christoff Stevenson? He’s the owner of Samuel Court. What’s the
matter? Did you see him today?” She replied, “Yes. He came to my store earlier.”
“What did he say?” “He didn’t say much and only ordered a custom- made suit there, but he knows about our
relationship. I’m just worried that he might have come to take revenge on you,” she expressed.

about I send over a few bodyguards tomorrow?”
“No need for that. If he had intended to try something, today would have been a great chance for him. Since he
didn’t do so, maybe he’s not planning on targeting me. That’s why I called you. I think you should be more careful
about your own safety.”
He reassured her, “Don’t worry about me. Unless he has a death wish, he wouldn’t be so dumb as to come after
me.” After hearing his words, she reminded him, “I’m sure you’re right, but a toad doesn’t bite and is still disliked by
people.”
Eugene acknowledged her concern. “Alright. Call me if he comes to your store again. I’m intrigued to see what he’s
up to.” Olivia turned him down. “It’s alright. He only ordered a suit from my store and paid in full, so maybe I’m the
one overthinking this situation.”
Meanwhile, at Road Enterprises, since Alex was still in a meeting, he instructed Jewel to retrieve a document from
his office. When she arrived there, she saw a secretary standing at the entrance to the president’s office being all
sneaky and suspicious.
Due to her throat condition, Jewel was used to taking care of her vocal cord by not speaking much. Without
meaning to frighten her, the secretary was scared out of her wits when Jewel merely tapped on her shoulder.
“Ahh!” The secretary looked at Jewel in shock. “W-What are you doing?” Looking at the person before her, Jewel
noticed that the secretary was Mary Whitlock. She recalled that Mary seemed to have eyes for Alex, but he was
currently in a meeting. No way, she doesn’t know that. So, what is she doing in front of Alex’s office?
Jewel piped up with difficulty, “What are you doing?” While motioning to the file in her hand, Mary answered, “I’m
here to deliver a document, but Mr. Road isn’t here, so I was debating whether to enter the office. You almost
scared me to death.”
Jewel gazed straight into Mary’s eyes and asked, “So, are you going in?” “Mr. Road isn’t here, so what’s the use of
doing so?” As Mary was saying that, she returned to the secretary’s office.

Feeling puzzled, Jewel stared at Mary’s back as she left. When she saw that Mary had already made friends with the
other secretaries, she did not bother about it anymore and returned to the office to retrieve the document before
sending it to the meeting room.
In the afternoon, she heard Mary’s voice when she was in the bathroom. “When I went to deliver some documents
to Mr. Road today, I stood outside the office door, hesitating on whether to wait for Mr. Road to return or just place
it inside his office, but then the mute came and tapped my shoulder. She almost. scared me to death.”
Then came another voice, which belonged to Tiffany Alinsky. “Didn’t you say you wanted to meet Mr. Road? Of
course, you have to go in when he’s there. What’s the use of sending those documents when he’s in a meeting?”
Mary answered, “I know. I just forgot that he was in a meeting. That touch on my shoulder almost made me soil my
pants. I don’t understand what Mr. Road was thinking when he arranged for a mute to be in the office. She can’t
speak, nor can she help him with anything, so what’s the purpose of her being here?”
