Chapter 7 A Man Looking Like Justin
1312 Words
The imposing R. E was located at CBD, and the luxurious building clearly showed how powerful this group is.
Olivia walked in and directly handed her business card to the beautiful front desk lady.
"I am Olivia Quik, the lawyer representing Mr. Benson from Italy. Here is my business card. Mr. Benson sent me to see Mr. Fenn." Olivia's attitude was gentle. Before knowing what the other party's thinking, she would not deliberately mystify.
The receptionist glanced at the business card and showed a standard polite smile.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Quik. Without an appointment, you can't meet Mr. Fenn directly."
"Is the Lawyer Mr. Joshua available?" Olivia smiled slightly.
The President might not see her, but the lawyer in charge of this case should be available, right?
"I suggest you call Mr. Fenn or Mr. Jones to confirm it. I am short of time in the capital and it would be too ugly for us to meet in court for the first time."
Olivia knocked on the marble table calmly and stared at the front desk lady with a smile. "Or should I go directly to the U.S embassy and let the embassy handle this as an international dispute?"
"Please wait a moment." The front desk lady turned pale.
Olivia watched her call, and then she quickly replied, "Mr. Jones has not arrived yet. You can wait in the reception room on the 26th floor for now."
Olivia nodded and turned around.
A group of people was waiting at the entrance of the elevator, while no one stood in front of the other. But there was no sign whatsoever.
Olivia directly entered the elevator, and a man was standing inside, tall and handsome. But Olivia was thinking about the following conversation and did not look at him at all.
She was about to press 26, but there was only a button for Floor 27.
Olivia was a little confused, but it did not matter if she walked one floor down.
Ding---
The elevator slowly went up.
The interior of the elevator was transparent, but it did not reflect any light.
In other words, one could see all the decorations of the building from the inside, but no one would be able to see through it from the outside. As expected of the No.1 multinational group in the U.S, the privacy of customers was highly protected.
Olivia observed the layout of the building. The man behind her kept looking at her. Hudson glanced at this strange woman, and the cold light in his eyes became stronger and stronger.
Everyone in the company knew him. Where had this i***t come from? Did she not know that this was his exclusive elevator?
Other than him, no one else had dared to ride it!
Moreover, there was a very obvious sign next to the elevator with the words "Exclusive Elevator." Was this woman blind?
The atmosphere in the air was a little ambiguous. Hudson frowned and began to think about this woman's goal. He even clenched his fists silently and was ready to defend himself at any time.
Olivia felt as if her back was about to be pierced by someone, but she only straightened her back and did not turn back.
Hudson's patience had reached its limit! He had actually been ignored!
Olivia did not realize the "danger" at all. She walked out of the elevator and saw the stairs. She pushed open the door and entered.
All of Hudson's thoughts were suddenly cut off, like a heavy fist hitting on cotton.
Had she come to the wrong floor?
Looking at the woman leaving, Hudson inexplicably began to get angry. She did not even say a word before leaving his private office!
"Why did someone enter my elevator?" Hudson directly called the front desk.
The smiling face of the front desk suddenly froze. "The cleaning lady had just whipped off the sign..."
"Tell the security to get her information for me in ten minutes." Hudson hung up the phone and quietly entered the office.
Olivia went to the reception room on the 26th floor and sat quietly. It was already 8:45. How was it possible that Joshua still hadn't come to work?
Whether a case succeeded or not depends on the lawyer to a large extent. Olivia picked a normal working time to visit, but she did not expect to catch the other party unprepared. Joshua really had not come to work on time!
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, a man in a suit walked in a rush and looked down at her. "Ms. Quik, what can I do for you?"
Olivia raised her head. There was still a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. It was obvious that he had just arrived.
"I'm Olivia. I was entrusted by Mr. Benson to deal with the acquisition case. " She smiled.
Joshua was about to reply but was called out by his colleague before he could say anything. Joshua touched his head and felt a little embarrassed. He was not so busy usually.
"Please wait for a few minutes. I will come back soon."
This was not the attitude of a professional lawyer. Benson had already sent her information to Joshua. It was obvious that Joshua had not read it.
Could it be that R. E thought that America was far away, so they could put this case on hold?
Olivia's heart became clearer. The other party was completely unprepared.
But the "few minutes" that Joshua mentioned lasted for half an hour. One more minute, then I will leave. Olivia said to herself in mind.
Right then, one handsome man pushed the door open and entered.
Olivia was stunned, not because of how dazzling the man was, but because his face was the one suffocating her in dreams! The person in the nightmare that had held her neck actually existed!
And it was almost the same face as her son, Justin's!
Are you kidding me?!
The strange scene in her dream appeared again. The man pinched her neck with his hand and almost took her life with a slight force. What was even more terrifying was that he asked coldly again and again, "Where is the baby? How dare you take my kid!"
Olivia's mind went blank and her face was pale. She fell back onto the sofa. She pulled off her glasses in disbelief and stared at the man's face again.
Justin looked so similar to him, almost a chip off the old block!
Suddenly, that wild night four years ago flashed in front of her eyes, his brutal moves, his hoarse voice, his endless banging...
Olivia's face turned red, and the defense line deep in her heart was suddenly broken. She had been glad of their lawyer's carelessness, but now the panic drowned her!
"Ms. Quik, Ms. Quik..." Hudson was extremely shocked.
Is she stunned now?
Just now, the security had already sent him the video of Olivia entering the elevator, as well as her detailed information.
Olivia was the elite graduate of the best law college. Four years ago, Eason announced that they had broken off their father-daughter relationship. And her younger sister, Yasmin, had married Mateo on her behalf.
When gossips about her spread throughout the city, she herself had gone missing.
Hudson did not expect that four years later, she would become the lawyer for this acquisition case. He did not intend to deal with this case on his own, but he changed his mind after seeing Olivia's name.
After hearing Joshua's introduction of the case, he came down to see her.
Why did Olivia look so shocked when seeing him? And why did he have a sense of deja vu about her as well?
"Ms. Quik!" Hudson escalated his voice, which finally restored back the woman's rationality.
"What's the matter?" Olivia asked, her tongue trembling.
