“That’s too many flower baskets! Are these from the same sender? Who’s that rich to send this amountof flower baskets?”

Not knowing how to respond to Nathan, Olivia stared at his two flower baskets, which was typical of hisstyle. Well, being thrifty wasn’t a bad thing.

“It’s Brian.”

Upon hearing that, Nathan felt a little embarrassed at his gift. If this were under normal circumstances,two flower baskets would have sufficed as a congratulatory gesture—those were only for good luck.However, the two flower baskets looked a little out of place among the larger baskets brought over byBrian.

What the heck? If only he knew about Brian’s flower baskets, he would have listened to the florist’sadvice and bought Olivia a horseshoe as a good luck charm.

The sight of the two flower baskets by Nathan was overshadowed in a corner, looking sad and pitiful.

Melanie’s expression froze as well upon seeing the sea of flower baskets. Her gaze toward Nathanbetrayed her disdain for her man.

The switch in her gaze happened over a second, causing Olivia to doubt her own eyes.

When Nathan looked at Melanie, she hurriedly smiled at him and gripped his arm tighter, appearing likea loving couple.

Nathan was fast to adjust to the situation. He could not do anything to save his dignity, so he decided toignore it and chuckled, “Olivia, this is not much, but it’s my sincerity. I wish you all the best for your

opening.”

Olivia could not help but tease him, “Thank god you didn’t buy a lot. I wouldn’t have had the space for itanyway.”

Melanie smiled sweetly. “Olivia, congratulations! Everyone around me is talented, unlike me. I’m notgood at anything.”

Olivia comforted her, “That’s alright. You still have Nathan. Anything that you can’t settle will be hiswork.”

Melanie took another look at Nathan with a loving expression. Feeling giddy from being praised,Nathan looked at Melanie with his chest puffed. “You’re tired, aren’t you? Let’s get in.”

She nodded at him.

As the host, Olivia quickly invited them in, “Yeah, just get into the studio. There are places to rest inthere. After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, we will head to the hotel.”

When the couple entered the studio, Olivia turned around to greet the incoming guests at the entrance.

Suddenly, a jacket with some warmth was draped across her shoulders. She looked up to replaceEugene’s familiar face staring at her. “It’s a little cold. Put this on.”

Feeling grateful toward his care, she clutched at the jacket and thanked him. “You should head in.”

He curtly replied, “It’s fine.”

Peering down at her eight-inch heels, he asked, "Are you tired? Take a rest. Since I'm a stakeholder, Ican take over."

Olivia smiled at him. "It's fine. I'm used to wearing heels."

He didn't say anything more because he only wanted to hang out with her. If so, they'd both remainoutside the studio.

At the same time, a fleet of cars approached the studio. The leading car was a black Maybach, whichrolled to a stop at the entrance.

Everyone at the site was gossiping. “Are those cars coming for the opening ceremony?”

“Who’s that? Looks like someone influential.”

“Look, look, isn’t that Gillian Thompson? Jean Ford is here too. Oh my god, the superstars are showingup!”

“Yeah, Abby Elliot and Ruth Paxton are here.”

“Wow, Olivia sure is well-connected.”

During the commotion, the car door was opened, and Marcus Cohen’s face appeared. Oliviaimmediately went up to him. “Marcus!”

He smiled at her. “Olivia, congratulations. Best of luck with your opening!”

“Thanks, Marcus.”

Then, he shifted his gaze to Eugene and greeted him with a surprised smile. “President Nolan, I didn’tknow you’d be here too.”

Eugene flashed a faint smile. “I’m a stakeholder of the studio after all.”

Marcus gave a meaningful response, “Oh, so you’re a stakeholder? If so, congratulations to you aswell!”
