When Olivia arrived home, she was alone, Matilda had probably gone to sign the documents. She decided to do some research on Julian George, the man who had offered to invest in her fashion business.

She quickly pulled out her phone and started searching for information about him online. Her eyes widened in shock as she scrolled through the results.

"What the hell!" she exclaimed, her voice echoing through the empty house.

She immediately dialed Matilda's number, her heart racing with anxiety.

"Matilda, please don't tell me you signed the documents," Olivia shouted on the phone, not even bothering to say hello.

Matilda's calm voice was on the other end of the line. "I already did. What's wrong?" she asked, sounding puzzled.

Olivia's anger and frustration boiled over. "Oh no... Why didn't you show me a picture of him so I would know who he is?" she asked, her voice rising.

    Olivia's heart skipped a beat as she saw the oncoming vehicle hurtling towards them. Her life flashed before her eyes, and for a moment, she thought this might be the end. The fear was palpable, and her breath caught in her throat. But before she could even process what was happening, Julian swiftly maneuvered the car to the side, narrowly avoiding a collision. He brought the vehicle to a stop, his face tense with concern."What is wrong with you? You could have gotten us killed!" Olivia shouted, her voice shaking with adrenaline and fear. She couldn't believe how close they had come to disaster. Julian turned to her, his expression apologetic."I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention," he said, his voice calm and gentle. "I was worried about you because of how you reacted earlier." Olivia's anger began to dissipate."Oh, that? It's just that after you invested in my company, it became the top one in the fashion industry," she said, a smile spreadin

    The sudden shift in demeanor was palpable, and Matilda's eyes narrowed slightly as she processed the unexpected revelation. "I've got something important to attend to tomorrow," Olivia said, her tone laced with an air of nonchalance. "Can you just go ahead and sign the papers for me?" Matilda's visage betrayed a fleeting moment of surprise, but she rapidly regained her composure, her expression smoothing out like the calm surface of a serene lake. "No problem, I'll take care of it," she replied, her voice imbued with confidence and assurance. "I'll make sure everything goes smoothly." Matilda's curiosity was piqued, but she didn't press the issue further. Instead, she chose to nod and head to her room to freshen up. Soon after, Olivia went back to her room. As she settled into her bed, Olivia's thoughts turned to the task ahead, her mind racing with strategies and contingency plans. She was determined to see her plan through to its fruition, no matter the obstacles in her path.

    Lucas felt a wave of discomfort wash over him as he quickly removed his hand from Olivia's touch. The brief contact had sent a spark of electricity through his body, and he couldn't shake off the feeling that Olivia had done it intentionally. He breathed a sigh of relief that no one had noticed the exchange, not even Maddie, who was too engrossed in her conversation with the others to pay attention. As the evening drew to a close, the guests began to bid each other farewell and head home. Lucas waited until the crowd had thinned out before making his exit. He drove home with Maddie in silence, his mind replaying the events of the evening. Once he arrived home, Lucas headed straight to his study, seeking solace in the familiar surroundings. He walked over to the liquor cabinet and poured himself a glass of scotch, the amber liquid glowing in the dim light of the room. He took a sip, feeling the burn of the alcohol as it slid down his throat. As he sat down in his leather armch

    The suggestion sparked a heated debate among the attendees, with some voicing their support for Emily West and others backing Maddie Jenkins. Maddie, sensing the momentum shifting in Emily West's favor, began to speak up, her voice rising above the din. "I don't think Emily West is suitable for the leadership position," she said, her words laced with condescension. "She's new to our circle, and she lacks the experience and connections required for the role." The room fell silent, with all eyes on Maddie and Olivia. Olivia smiled calmly, her eyes locked on Maddie, as she prepared to respond. The battle for leadership had officially begun. The tension in the room escalated as a woman stood up, her voice carrying across the hall. "Maddie Jenkins, shut your dirty mouth up!" she shouted. Maddie's face turned red with rage as she strode towards the woman, her hand flying through the air in a swift slap. The sound of the slap echoed through the hall, followed by gasps and murmur

    Daniel nodded politely, his expression courteous, but offered no further explanation, as he walked away. The sales associate efficiently wrapped the dress and handed it to Olivia with a smile. Olivia accepted the bag, aware of the subtle attention from others, but her confidence and poise remained unwavering. She turned to leave, the soft rustle of the bag accompanying her as she walked out. Outside, the bright sunlight and fresh air greeted her, a welcome change from the boutique's air-conditioned atmosphere. Olivia's heels clicked on the pavement as she walked to her car. She felt relieved as she settled into the driver's seat and drove away. *** In the Macy's parking lot, a stunning blue Bugatti Chiron gleamed in the sunlight, its sleek design and vibrant color drawing admiring glances from passersby.
