Chapter 495

Benjamin playfully raised his handsome eyebrows and joked, “With you as a good friend, I’m happy even with water.”

Olivia took out an orange from her pocket and gave it to Benjamin, “I picked it when I was up the mountain, try it, it’s really sweet. Some crew members carried a few back, they went ahead. Tomorrow morning, I’ll have someone send some back to Serene City for our friends and family to taste, and also have Abigail prepare for the Harmony Village Special Aid Farmer Event.”

Benjamin tasted it and nodded repeatedly, “It really is sweet, with a crisp and juicy pulp. It should sell well.”

“They are handpicked, and have to be carried down by hand due to the rough path, transportation to the county town is also a problem. I heard from the village leaders that though the fruit harvest was plentiful with good quality, we still haven’t found a marketplace.”

“Tonight, let’s have a meeting to discuss Harmony Village’s problem. Everyone can share their ideas, three cobblers are as good as a Zhuge Liang.”

A hint of laughter twinkled in Olivia’s clear eyes as she agreed, “You’re right, we should have the meeting this evening, and invite the villagers to join in the discussion. There must be a solution, we are here to help solve their problems.”

“You really have such a bold spirit, I appreciate that, Chief Jenkins.”

Not responding to Benjamin’s words, Olivia looked up ahead in disbelief, “Valerie, how did you get here?”

Following Olivia’s gaze, Benjamin also noticed Valerie.

Valerie rushed over and stood between Benjamin and Olivia, gripping Olivia’s hand, “Olivia, I missed you! You’re doing meaningful things here and I wanted to help.”

Olivia not only let Valerie hold her hand but gripped back, “Thank you! I thought I gave you a break to rest for a while.”

Valerie playfully laughed out, “I can’t just sit idle. It’s better to be with you. There’s food, beverages, fun and even widening my horizons. I can learn a lot.”

“This time it won’t be easy work at all, all of you should be prepared for labor.”

“Olivia, I am not scared and don’t care. I can handle the hardship.”

Olivia pursed her lips, and her beautiful brows furrowed, “I should have invited Abigail here. She could have done a live broadcast right on the mountain.”

The sharp gleam in Benjamin’s eyes made a glance at Olivia, “Perhaps Abigail might run over here herself, without your call.”

Perhaps, Jordan Bennett and Daniel Marshall will come too.

Although not explicitly said, Benjamin had a hunch that Daniel would definitely come.

If Daniel doesn’t come, then he doesn’t truly love Olivia. How could he just let her be!

Without hesitation, Olivia said: “Whether she comes or not, I am not quite sure, but tomorrow, artists I have invited will begin to report, and by the day after, they should all be ready to start.”

Valerie hastily asked, “Olivia, is David Jefferson coming?”

Olivia playfully rolled her eyes at Valerie, “Will you forget about me if he comes?”

Valerie laughed sheepishly, “Not at all, I just want his autograph.”

“I’ll take a picture of you both then.”

“Thank you, Olivia, you’re the best!”

With Valerie’s arrival, Benjamin seemed quiet.

On the way back, he spent most of his time listening to Olivia and Valerie’s chat.

From time to time, the corners of Benjamin’s lips curled slightly, outlining a handsome curve.

In the morning, Grace finally saw Chief Marshall come to work, she immediately went to greet him and followed him to his office.
