Chapter 8 An Easy Choice
1107 Words
This man was too scary! Even his tone was exactly the same as in the dream!
She was terrified that he would say the words in the dream and take her beloved son away!
What should I do? Olivia's forehead was full of sweat. She lost her mind.
Her son was her life. She could not reveal anything! She instinctively thought of running away!
"Benson entrusted you to deal with the case. You..." Hudson curbed the doubts in his brows and lowered his voice.
Was his voice too loud that it scared her?
Olivia nodded in panic. "Yes! I am the acting lawyer of Mr. Benson. I..."
She tried her best to maintain calm, but her thoughts were still a mess.
She cared too much about Justin, which brought her an extreme panic facing Hudson.
She had to leave this place as soon as possible!
Hudson frowned even more...
Moments ago, when Olivia came in like a Queen. Even in the elevator, she still had raised her head high. But at this time, her entire body was trembling, and she could not fathom it.
"Are you alright?" Hudson did not want to get into any trouble, especially when Olivia was once Eason's daughter.
"Yes! I'll be off now. I will reschedule a meeting with you. " Olivia suddenly stood up and hurried to leave the room.
Even when dealing with her first case, she had never lost her composure like this!
Hudson looked at her back and opened the door for her. He was even more curious about her!
Olivia was about to thank him, but her calves cramped right at that ungodly time. Her high heels became unsteady, and she lost her balance. She was about to fall to the ground.
Hudson quickly caught her falling body with both hands.
Olivia looked at Hudson in astonishment! His eyes were deep and unfathomable, shining like obsidian. The man's perfect face enlarged again, and every angle was perfect.
She was so nervous that her heart almost jumped out of her chest!
Hudson's scent filled her nose. The crazy and intimate pain from that night instantly invaded her mind. Her entire face was blood rushed, and her breathing almost stopped.
What should I do? Run, run quickly!
However, her entire body didn't have the slightest bit of strength. She couldn't stand steadily.
Only then did Hudson truly see Olivia's face...
Her white and tender face exuded a faint blush in Hudson's eyes. Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were filled with starlight, attracting his gaze.
Nonetheless, it was just a moment.
As a cold and outstanding billionaire, Hudson would not easily be tempted.
"Miss Quik, are you alright?" Hudson retracted his gaze and politely helped Olivia up. Olivia finally snapped back to her senses and took a deep breath. "Thank you, Mr. Fenn."
She lifted her hair and stood firmly. "I just found out some information that I haven't prepared yet. I'll visit you next time."
Next time? Hehe, will there be a next time?
But for her surname Quik, Hudson was willing to make an exception.
"Alright, you can directly make an appointment with Joshua. I will make time for it. But I'm hoping that Miss Quik will have recovered from the jetlag and won't have any discomfort next time we meet."
He even helped her think of a reason for her awkward behavior just then. It had to be said that Hudson was very thoughtful.
Olivia calmed herself down and slowly walked out of the door.
It was not until she completely walked out of the gate that she took a deep breath and felt the sun.
No, between her son and career, there was no choice at all. It must be her son! She couldn't take the chance even if she had to lose her job. She wouldn't take this risk!
She drove directly back to the apartment, locked herself in the study, and called Jessica.
"Jessica, I can't follow the R. E case. Please find someone else. I have no objection if you want to fire me. Please pass my apology to Mr. Benson."
"Why?" Jessica was stunned. "Liv, this should be an easy case for you."
Olivia shook her head, "I'm sorry, I really can't stay here."
"Turn on your camera." Jessica's tone sounded very serious.
Olivia was puzzled, but she still turned it on.
She saw that many people now guarded the usual familiar office area. Benson sat beside Jessica with a cigar in his mouth and a fierce gaze.
"Olivia, if you don't solve this matter and run away, I can't guarantee the safety of Jessica."
Benson wasn't someone who would compromise. Jessica had a bitter expression on her face and said, "Liv, For the sake of my aids all these years, you must help me this time! Benson has pushed the rest of the company out. You are now my only hope!"
Olivia was so scared that she could not hear what Jessica was saying.
"Godmother, Mommy locked herself in the room for the whole afternoon. I am worried about her..." Justin did not see Olivia after waking up in the afternoon. He was so worried that he called Sheila.
After Sheila arrived, she instantly took out the backup key and opened the door of the study.
She saw that Olivia was locked in and her face a little haggard on the sofa. As Justin walked in, she immediately put out the cigarette butt.
"Mommy, what happened?" Justin looked at her, his big eyes full of confusion. "Did someone annoy you? "
Sheila opened the window and the air conditioner, sprayed a lot of air freshener, and could not believe what she had just seen.
"Liv, you actually smoke?"
"I'm sorry. I forgot the time." Olivia slightly shook her head.
"Did things not go well today? Why not go out to have fun tonight?" Sheila asked.
She knew that Olivia would not speak no matter what she asked.
This woman had always been strong and would never ask for help unless there was no way out.
"Okay! Let's enjoy ourselves tonight." Olivia was calm a little. No matter how big the trouble was, there would be a solution.
After a whole afternoon of thinking, she calmed down.
Hudson was very likely the man from that night, but it was not 100% sure. Without a DNA test, it could not prove that he was Justin's biological father.
Perhaps she had been tormented by that dream for too long, so she was so afraid today.
As long as Justin did not meet Hudson, she would finish the task immediately and leave with Justin right away.
