NovelEnglishChapter 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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmeet 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?”
“Of course!”
Jennie clicked open the conversation and passed the phone to Olivia. “Look, this is the entire
conversation between me and the client. I’ve gone through a thorough inspection, and now, it’s up to
you whether you want to take it up or not.”
After pondering for a while, Olivia nodded. “Okay. Let’s set it in stone, then.”
Jennie hugged Olivia and gave her a kiss on the cheek. “I knew you’d say yes, Pheebs! Let’s celebrate
tonight!”
“You’re celebrating before this whole thing even begins? Isn’t it too early for celebrations?”
“No way! I’ve told you before that you’re my lucky star, Pheebs! If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t ever get
the opportunity to be a boss!”
With that, Olivia teased. “Even if you couldn’t become a boss, you’d still be able to become a lady boss,
right?”
“Hey! You’re making fun of me!” Jennie pouted. “You know that everyone my mom arranges for me to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmgo on a date with is of little to no quality.”
“The right guy will eventually come.”
“What about you, Pheebs? Are you really not considering Xavier Hemsworth?”
She threw Jennie a glance and laughed self-depreciatingly. “Jennie, to me, love isn’t all that sweet, and
men aren’t all that important.”
Jennie had been in a number of relationships, but to her, they were all just mundane and boring.
That was why she felt like Olivia was being just too pessimistic, but she did not say anything more.
“I’ll give you this Mr. M’s number.”
“Mr. M?”
“The client we were talking about.”
Olivia nodded. “Okay, send it to me. I’ll ask him what he wants in his design.”
After saving Mr. M’s number, Olivia sent a message to him introducing herself formally. Mr. M. also
replied to her politely.
She did not want to waste any more time, so she went right in and asked, “Would the customized item
of your choice be a ring or something else, sir? What are the more specific things you’d like to have
included?”
Quickly, Mr. M replied.
[Before I tell you my requirements, Ms. James, would you care to listen to a story?]
