Olivia undoubtedly did not believe Christoff and commented, “Then, you should be prepared for the possibility that your journey will not go according to plan and it will involve some inherent dangers. Isn’t it too much of a price to pay to make a new friend?”
He smiled and replied, “Aren’t you even a bit moved by my help?” “No. I don’t want to be a burden to anyone,” she explained and was eager to leave.
Then, Christoff advised, “The truth is that neither of you will be able to find him. You may also encounter dangerous circumstances, whereas I will not. Since I have clout over there, I’ll have no trouble finding someone. Moreover, I suggest you convince her to stay home rather than squander time with me here.”
Jewel promptly rejected his suggestion. “No, I have to follow her.” “Olivia is right. Your identity might be easily. exposed,” he reminded. “I don’t care. I won’t let Olivia go with you,” she insisted.
However, Olivia reasoned that his words made sense, and she reiterated, ‘Jewel, you went through a lot to get where you are today. So, stop interfering with my problem!”
Jewel frowned and stated, “Don’t bother trying to persuade me. I’m not going anywhere without you.” I can’t just let you go on your own, especially not when you’re with Christoff. Then, he insisted, “Fine. If you want, let’s go together. Don’t waste time, or we’ll be late for the flight.”
At that moment, Olivia stared warily at Christoff, wondering if he was a friend or foe. Consequently, how could she possibly go with him? He tried to reassure her, “Don’t worry. If I had intended to hurt you, I wouldn’t have gone to all this trouble.
Olivia and Jewel exchanged glances, but Christoff’s patience had run out, so he asked coldly, “What? Are you expecting me to threaten you now?”
Olivia’s lips twitched as she snorted, “Don’t flirt with me the same way you flirt with young chicks. I’m not going to fall into your trap.” However, Christoff remained obstinate and moved closer to her. “Does that mean I don’t need to behave gentlemanly around you?”
At that moment, she did not attempt to avoid him but instead inched closer to him. He was bewildered as to why she behaved in such a manner, and he was curious when she became so brazen. Suddenly, she reached up, jabbed a silver needle into the back of his neck, and said, “You’re right. We should behave differently depending on the person, but since you don’t believe me when I try to be polite, I have no choice but to be harsh on you.”
Christoff initially failed to grasp the meaning of Olivia’s words. However, as time passed, he became aware that something was wrong with his left arm and that numbness was beginning to spread across it.
