The moment she stepped through the door, Olivia felt as if her body was no longer her own!
She turned on the lights, kicked off her two-inch heels, tossed her purse onto the sofa, and took out her phone to turn it on.
There were five missed calls, four from Jennifer and one from a number that Olivia chose to ignore.
She tapped on Jennifer's name and called back. Jennifer answered quickly, "Liv, where are you?"
"Sis, don't you know where I am? As my agent, aren't you a bit too unconcerned about me?"
Olivia walked to the fridge, grabbed a glass of ice water for herself, and took a sip. It was slightly cool.
Jennifer's voice came through, "How can you blame me? You're always running off to small gigs, and I can't find you. Anyway, let's not talk about that now. I have important news: there's an exclusive opportunity. One job that'll earn you ten times what those small gigs pay. Are you in?"
...
In the airport terminal, Olivia wore sunglasses and a scarf, styling herself to be low-key yet mysterious. Of course, beneath the mystery, there was still a hint of allure and charm!
The plane was due to arrive in about fifteen minutes, so there was still time. She took a deep breath and first went to the restroom!
She came out of the restroom five minutes later, just as Jennifer called again. As she answered the phone and walked out, a man exited the restroom opposite her!
The man glanced at her casually, his lips slightly pursed, saying nothing. His well-fitted suit complemented his tall frame, leaving a striking impression on Olivia as he walked away.
Olivia froze for a moment, momentarily dazed!
On the other end of the phone, not hearing a response, Jennifer quickly spoke up, "Hello, Liv, did you hear what I said? Huh?"
Olivia took a deep breath, "I heard. A white checkered long dress, possibly wearing sunglasses, a hat... Is that all? Might there be a scarf? I've seen Emily Chen wearing scarves in the newspapers several times. She seems to like them..."
The man not far ahead paused slightly upon hearing Olivia's words!
...
"Oh, and Liv, it's too late now, so just go straight to the Junshang Business Hotel near the airport for the night. I'll reimburse you for the accommodation..."
Olivia chuckled, "Will you still reimburse me if I don't complete the task?"
"I will, but you have to promise to do your best!"
"When have I ever not done my best, sis! Don't worry, leave it to me!"
Olivia hung up the phone, checked the time - it was nearly midnight - and hurried towards the airport terminal, not wanting to waste any time!
Even though it was late at night, the terminal was still bustling with noise and movement. Olivia pushed her sunglasses up and walked to the airport entrance!
Outside the airport, there were many cars, including numerous luxury vehicles. Jennifer had insider information that a mysterious man would personally come to pick up Emily Chen today!
Emily Chen had just returned from receiving an award abroad and was at the peak of her popularity. If they could catch some gossip at this moment, the value would be unimaginable...
Olivia returned to the arrival hall. Soon, fresh faces began to emerge from the airport. She pulled her sunglasses down slightly, searching the crowd for a similar-looking figure...
Quickly, a woman wearing a white checkered long dress, sunglasses, and a scarf appeared in her line of sight...
She indeed had a scarf. Olivia glanced at the scarf around her own neck and smiled slightly:
Was it a coincidence? The two scarves were exactly the same!
Olivia took a deep breath, casually brushed her long hair, and then instinctively walked towards Emily Chen's direction.
A man wearing a neat suit approached Emily Chen and respectfully took her luggage from her hand.
Olivia took out her phone, muted the camera function, and quickly snapped a couple of photos.
She moved closer, pretending to accidentally turn sideways, glancing towards Emily Chen's position from the corner of her eye.
She saw Emily Chen slightly furrowing her brows, looking somewhat displeased. Olivia heard her seemingly ask the man, "Where is he?"
Olivia suddenly felt a jolt through her body. So, there was indeed a man coming to pick her up?
But that man didn't show up in person? Instead, he sent his assistant? Or subordinate?
Olivia tugged at the corner of her lips. Emily Chen walked past her, not far ahead, with the man following behind, his expression cold and stern.
Olivia narrowed her eyes at the man, finding him unfamiliar. She pretended to play with her phone while taking a few photos of him, planning to study them carefully later.
Once she confirmed this man's identity, the "man" above him would naturally surface.
Olivia put her phone in her pocket and followed on foot.
At the airport entrance, a black Porsche Cayenne was parked. As the car door opened, Olivia took a few more photos of the vehicle, confirming that there was no one inside.
So, that man really didn't show up?
Olivia deliberately walked around to the back of the car and noticed that the license plate was covered. She frowned slightly. Such meticulousness surely indicated something fishy!
The car quickly drove away. Olivia sighed a bit, but it wasn't a complete loss. At least she could prove that Emily Chen had some connection with the superior of the man from earlier.
Entertainment gossip was always about catching wind and chasing shadows. Entertainment reporters were typical figures who could turn black into white...
Anyway, those things were no longer Olivia's concern. Her job was just to submit the photos.
Olivia took out her phone, preparing to report her findings to Jennifer. But just as she pulled out her phone, a long, clean hand flashed before her eyes and snatched the phone from her hand!
Olivia was stunned for a moment. Looking up, she saw an exceptionally handsome face that took her breath away. Moreover, this man seemed familiar. Wasn't he the handsome guy she had seen in the restroom earlier?
The man lowered his brow, his dark eyes as deep as ink under his long lashes. After deleting the few photos from her phone, he handed it back to her. The corner of his lips tugged slightly, "Taking sneaky photos isn't good behavior, miss. You'd better not do it again next time!"
Olivia: "..."
Taking a deep breath, Olivia bit her lip, "Sir, do I know you? Aren't you being too nosy?"
The man smiled faintly, "Combating illegal and unruly behavior is every citizen's duty and responsibility. I just happen to have a strong sense of justice!"
"Huh!" Olivia laughed, her voice tinged with mockery. She reached out and grabbed the man's collar, her rosy lips approaching his. "Sir, want to bet? If I scream 'assault' right now, you'll immediately become the target of public criticism. Let's see who will still admire your 'sense of justice' then!"
The man's eyes were incredibly deep, even darker than the night sky above. Being so close to him, Olivia's heart was beating nervously.
But they were at the airport, surrounded by so many people. She was certain of her safety.
"Hehe!" The corner of the man's lips curved imperceptibly, a cold snort escaping from his nose. Though soft, Olivia heard it clearly due to their proximity.
Olivia was stunned for a moment and instinctively wanted to let go, but suddenly felt an arm wrap around her waist.
By the time she reacted, she had already been pulled into the man's embrace...
