Chapter 343
Olivia looked down, distracted.
“Take care, Ms. Olivia. You can have fun as much and as long as you want. Mrs. Ana is really nice to you, isn’t she?”
Olivia knew this was true but chose to stay silent. She thought about not wanting Sophie to see anyone from the Harrises‘ and told Alisa, “Stay in the car.”
“But your foot-”
“It’s okay. We’re just going to the cafe. It won’t be long.”
“…Alright. If you say so.”
Olivia got out of the car. Although she had said she wouldn’t need help, the maid carefully assisted her anyway.
Olivia looked at the cafe and walked toward it, lost in thought about what they might talk
about over coffee.
She froze when she saw who was at the table. It was Claude.
He stood up quickly when he saw her, towering above her.
Olivia spun around, ready to leave.
“Wait! I asked Sophie to set this up,” he said quickly.
Olivia paused but didn’t turn around.
“How have you been lately?” Claude asked. He had noticed her small shoulders and her thin neck. She wasn’t doing well. Living with a family that wanted for nothing still left her lacking.
“I heard about your sister. How is she?” Claude added.
“Please, Claude, let’s not talk again, okay? We shouldn’t see each other,” Olivia said
nervously.
