Olivia wasn't the naïve young woman she used to be. The people in power had access to more intelligence and resources than normal people.
It would be dangerous if she was close to Mason, but she could also acquire a lot more in return.
The most important thing is that she could also help Ethan discreetly. She could play a crucial role in helping him manipulate the situation.
Ethan was ready to get up before daybreak. Olivia wrapped her arms around his waist and nestled against his back.
"Are you leaving?"
"Yeah. I've been busy recently."
"You come here to spend the night despite being so busy?" Olivia poked fun at him.
Ethan turned around, drew her into his arms, and kissed her.
"It's because you're too alluring. If I don't keep an eye on you, I'm afraid someone might take you from me."
The two of them shared a long and passionate kiss. They had been indulging in their lust a lot.
Since they abandoned their responsibilities, they were able to enjoy themselves more.
Their lips parted after a long while. Ethan held her in his arms quietly for a few minutes. "Liv, I really just want to have you in my arms like this until the end of time."
"That's too heavy of a promise. I don't want that. This will do. You should go."
Ethan's eyes darkened. He kissed her on the forehead. "Rest well. You can contact me if you need me."
He got up to freshen himself up after he said that. He left before the sun was up.
Olivia didn't get much chance to enjoy some peace and quiet. So, she slept for a few more hours.
It was already the middle of the day when she woke up.
Her phone vibrated several times. It was Linus calling.
When she called again, Olivia picked up with a tired voice. "Hello?"
Linus was surprised. "You were still sleeping? I'm sorry. I didn't know."
"Mr. Heath, how can I help you?"
"I'm at your door, Vanessa. I want to see you."
"Please hold on for a moment."
He even took the trouble to put on galoshes when he entered the villa.
"Coffee or tea?"
"I'd like some tea, thanks."
Olivia sat at the tea table and started to boil some water to brew the tea.
"Are you here for Mr. Heath?"
Linus handed her a check. "This is the payment for treating my father."
Olivia glanced at the check. It was for two million dollars. It wasn't too high, but it wasn't that low, either.
He was very smart. He didn't offer an obscene amount, so Olivia wouldn't feel pressured when accepting it.
"I'll happily accept this."
After she accepted it, Linus handed her a contract.
"Vanessa, I sincerely hope you can become my father's personal doctor. As for the terms, you can tell me whatever you want."
