Olivia was aware, since she saw Ignazio in Meizar's room earlier, that he wasn't okay. However, he tried to appear fine. Ignazio must be experiencing a panic attack. Although it was not explicitly mentioned in the reports provided by Mrs. Claire, Olivia could read the signs. Olivia looked around to find a tissue, but she couldn't find one. "I'm sorry, Sir," she whispered before placing her fingers on Ignazio's forehead and gently wiping away the sweat with the edge of her shirt sleeve. Ignazio opened his eyes for a moment, silently observing Olivia before closing his eyes again and enjoying the gentle touch. Olivia reached for Ignazio's neck, loosening his tie and unbuttoning the top button of his shirt. She hoped that this would help Ignazio a little. The sweat wasn't only on his forehead and neck but covered his entire body. "Take off your jacket, Sir. I'll borrow Mr. Meizar's clothes so you can change your wet shirt," Olivia ordered softly, and Ignazio complied. After removin

"What brings you here?" Olivia asked curiously. Both of them looked up to see the elevator number in front of them."Don't you know?" Keir asked in return. Olivia glanced at him and instantly shook her head. "I work here too," Keir replied with a broad smile on his face. "As legal advisor for Kralligimiz." He whispered proudly."Wow," Olivia exclaimed, impressed. "That's amazing." Her praise was sincere. "But aren't lawyers usually employed by a law firm?"Keir nodded. "There's a family firm," he answered ambiguously. Olivia nodded, although she didn't fully understand."I didn't know you also work here. Since when?" She asked, curious. The elevator they were waiting for finally opened, and they entered, accompanied by a few other people."Not long," Olivia answered quietly. She then leaned towards Keir and whispered, "Nepotism." Making Keir look at her puzzled. "It's related to that contract," Olivia replied."Aahh..." Keir immediately nodded in understanding. "I heard you're still i

Ignazio turned around and saw Olivia with a surprised expression. "Since when have you been standing there?" "A while ago," Olivia answered honestly. "What are you doing? Is there something I can help with?" Ignazio shook his head. "No, I can handle it myself. What about you? Do you need anything?" Olivia shrugged and opened one of the cabinet doors. "I'm just hungry and planning to eat," she replied as she took instant noodles from there. "You want to cook noodles?" Ignazio asked in surprise. Olivia nodded. "The fastest-cooking food." She answered casually. Ignazio grabbed the instant noodles from Olivia's hand and put it back into the cabinet. "I'm making fried rice," he said as he took out some items from the fridge. "That's also a quickly cooked dish. Sit and wait a moment. I'll slice a few more ingredients." He ordered Olivia. "Do you like your fried rice spicy or not?" "Spicy." "With soy sauce or without?" "Both," she replied, causing Ignazio to glance at her with a rai

"Ignazio never looked at Olivia. Over the past two days, the man seemed to be avoiding Olivia, leaving her puzzled. It made her wonder what mistake she had made to be treated this way. Was it because of the accident that happened that night? Because Olivia accidentally kissed the man's lips? Did that make Ignazio hate her to the point where he refused to look at her? Yes, for the past two days, aside from work issues, Ignazio hardly said anything to her. Olivia didn't need to be bothered, as they were used to this kind of behavior before. But for some reason, this time, Olivia felt his silence was unusual and worse. Ignazio now seemed unwilling to look at her or make eye contact. At first, Olivia's response was normal. When they met at the table during breakfast, Ignazio didn't look at her at all and always turned his face away. Olivia was still fine. And when Ignazio, the night before, suddenly decided that Olivia should go home separately, she was still okay. After all, it wasn't

"K-KEIR?" Ignazio stuttered. Olivia nodded. "Why did you go with him?" Olivia shrugged. "Because Keir invited me to go with him," she replied flatly. Ignazio couldn't find words. He couldn't stop Olivia from going with Keir. He had no right to, even if he had the power to do so. "When it's done, I'll take my leave," Olivia said to Ignazio, and without waiting for a response, she left the room. After work, Olivia met Lorraine. If the day before she didn't go home with Ignazio because he forbade her, today she didn't go home with him because she had plans with Lorraine to go to her apartment. Lorraine and Olivia agreed to go to the hotel together. Moreover, Nora, Lorraine's close friend, said she would help Olivia and Lorraine with their makeup there. Considering that Olivia couldn't use makeup during this time and she also refused to go to the salon for fear of being overly made up, she finally agreed to go with Lorraine. In the taxi taking them to the apartment, Olivia recounte
