Olivia sighed at women's fates, where they could never take full control of their lives.
After putting on makeup and wearing a mask, she drove out, heading for the villa in the suburbs.
Cautiously, she waited at the junction until Yale's car was driven away before she entered the villa.
"Ms. Molly, I'm outside your place."
The door opened to reveal Molly and her red eyes. Molly appeared skinnier than before.
Olivia patted her shoulder. "Let's talk inside."
"Sure." Molly held Olivia's hand, leading her into the house.
Florence's eyes of hostility observed Olivia intensely. Olivia cleared her stance by pointing out, "Relax, I'm here to comfort her. Get us a glass of warm water and a warm napkin."
Florence actually planned to snitch on Olivia, but the latter appeared trustworthy for some reason.
In the end, Florence went to fetch water and a napkin as told.
Olivia wiped Molly's face, especially her eyes, with the napkin. Then, she proffered the glass of water to Molly. "Have some water."
"Alright." Molly downed the glass of water.
Following that, she pulled Olivia's hand to tell her stories.
But Olivia gestured. "Wait. I have the time of my life to listen to your stories. But first, close your eyes."
Not knowing what Olivia was up to, Molly closed her eyes.
Four fingers rested against Molly's temples as Olivia began to massage her head.
It felt nice.
"Calm down. Don't make decisions in the heat of the moment. With a clearer mind, you'll be able to make the right choice."
Olivia's fingers shifted from the temples along to the crown of Molly's head.
As though magic was cast upon Molly, she slowly put her guard down as her body relaxed.
Gradually, her breathing calmed. It was so comfortable that she could fall asleep at the spot.
Florence knew that Molly hadn't been eating and sleeping well lately. No matter what method she came up with, it didn't help Molly out.
