chapter 49 Do you have today too?

Another beeping sound emitted from Olivia's cell phone after she finished lunch. When she picked up the phone, she realized that the other party's seemingly gentle and innocuous attack had almost broken through her last line of defense. Olivia panicked and immediately started working on the dining table. She had underestimated C. Yet, Olivia couldn't understand why a man with this immense talent would hire Q to track her whereabouts. Olivia mused, "If he has the capability to track me, then why didn't he do it himself? Why did he have to go to Q for this?" Olivia didn't know that Xavier was not incompetent; he didn't want to reveal his identity. Besides, even if he took action himself, the result would be similar to Q, so why not let Q do the dirty job? Harper watched as Olivia got engrossed in her work. She sighed in distress and silently took a photo of Olivia, posting it to her Instagram with the caption: [I feel sorry for my dearest. She is busy working even during mealtime!" Then, Harper added a crying emoji to the end of her caption. Olivia was not aware of what happened. When she finished working on her phone, it was already more than ten minutes later. Realizing that her location was unsafe, she cleared all traces of her, put away her phone, and took Harper's hand. "Let's go, babe. Let's go shopping and buy you something you like." Harper looked at Olivia in shock. "Why so sudden?" Olivia caressed Harper's head. "It's your birthday in a few days, isn't it? I suck at picking gifts, silly girl. Let's head to the mall and pick out whatever you like." Harper wrapped her arms around Olivia's neck. "Ah! I thought you are going to give me those random pills as gifts like previously. Did you get rich? Why are you so generous this year? Do you know that the items sold at the mall are pricey?" Olivia raised her eyebrows and smiled. "I work at LM, okay? Buying a gift for you won't make me go bankrupt." "Ah, I know you are the best! Let's go shopping!" Harper displayed a childlike enthusiasm as she linked arms with Olivia and left the restaurant, bouncing. As soon as they walked to the door, two men in black clothing approached from the other side and walked into the restaurant quickly, scanning their surroundings like they were searching for something. And, behind them, Xavier, also dressed in black, walked over quickly. Xavier furrowed his brows when he spotted Olivia and Harper. "Did you guys ate here just now?" Olivia frowned and nodded, "Yeap. You're back from your business trip already?" Xavier bobbed his head as he glanced inside the restaurant. He smiled lazily. "What delicious food did you ate?" "Some random stuff. How about you? You haven't eaten yet?" Olivia asked. Xavier nodded. "Do you want to keep me company while I eat?" Olivia looked at Harper, who had been snickering next to her. "I'm going shopping with my friend." Harper grinned. "It's okay, babe. If you're not free, we can go shopping another day. We don't have to rush to get my gift!" "Well, I shall not be a nuisance if you are planning to go shopping with your friend." Xavier moved aside slightly, and the two women left. His eyes darkened after that. "Is all this a coincidence or..." Xavier wondered. Soon, his two subordinates who went in earlier came out and reported to Xavier." "Sir, we didn't see anyone suspicious." "Same here." "Well, seal all entrances and exits. Strengthen personnel inspections, and I'll go check the surveillance cameras." Xavier nodded, looked again in the direction where Olivia and Harper had left, and fell into deep thought. When he descended the car, he could still receive the other party's signal clearly, coming from the restaurant. But after he got out of the car, the signal broke off. Therefore, even if that person wanted to leave, they were not gone for too long. Olivia found a restroom and called Q after she arrived at the mall, asking him to find a way to lure C away. Excitement filled Q. "Wow, X! Who knew this would happen to you!" "Stop talking nonsense. Get it done quickly. I'm hanging up." Olivia felt a little embarrassed and ended the call. "He's right. Who knew this would happen to me? It's so embarrassing." But she had no other choice. C was too difficult to deal with, and to save Alice from his grasp successfully, she had to reveal herself temporarily. After handing the difficult task to Q, Olivia accompanied the joyful Harper on her shopping trip. As a designer, Olivia wore simple clothes. If the event didn't call for it, she would only wear normal T-shirts and collared shirts without paying much attention to her style. Therefore, she only helped Harper pick out her clothes during the shopping spree without getting something for herself. "Oh my gosh, Olivia! This dress is so beautiful." Harper gripped Olivia's hand excitedly, eyes bright, when they passed by a haute couture clothing store. "Yeap. Buy them if you like them!" Olivia sounded like a nonchalant, nouveau riche boyfriend. "No!" Harper was a tad bit frustrated. "I mean, it suits you very well!" Olivia was stunned momentarily. Looking up, she realized it was a limited-edition dress from LM this year. "Is it?" Olivia curled her lips, and a wicked smile appeared on her fair face. Harper was so captivated by her smile that she felt a little dizzy. After a while, the woman swallowed her saliva, saying, "Oh my god! It does! Let's go and give it a try!" Olivia did not refuse and followed Harper into the store obediently. "Welcome! Please take a look around. If you spot anything that is up to your taste, you can try them!" Emily, the salesperson, smiled politely as she approached them. Harper pointed to the youthful dark blue puffy dress displayed at the window. It was paired with a white shirt, making it a two-piece set or an outfit that one could wear separately. The contrast between the blue and white was gentle and harmonious, providing others a refreshing aesthetic. "Please let my friend try this!" Harper smiled excitedly. Emily said, "Miss, you have such a good taste. This is our latest limited-edition dress for this season. It was designed by LM's chief designer. The name of the dress is "Youth." It is a dress that makes you look ten years younger when you wear it!" Harper's eyes lit up. "Did President Riley design this? Oh my god! Olivia, you have to try it. Quick! I'll try it on after you!" Olivia rubbed her nose, stating, "You go ahead." "Oh, come on! I already told you that this is especially suitable for you! You must try it on!" Harper replied, pushing Olivia into the fitting room while not forgetting to ask the staff to bring the dress to Olivia. Olivia smiled helplessly. It was true that she had never tried on the dress she designed. The woman mused, "All right. I'll try it. I really like this dress too. I designed it for the young Olivia as this dress is something that I've always dream of!" Everyone's eyes were glued to Olivia after she changed into the dress and walked out of the fitting room, including Xavier, who had finished going through the surveillance footage and was about to go shopping before returning home. Olivia was like a goddess. She looked cool and attractive in the youthful, puffy dress, and Xavier couldn't take his eyes off her. Just then, someone walked into the store, pointed at Olivia's dress, and shouted, "I like that dress. Get her to take it immediately so I can purchase it."
