Olivia hadn’t said a word since she got in the car, which Valerie Howard found unusual.

After a slight hesitation, Valerie broke the silence.

“The man who led the live broadcast slandering you the other day has left Serene City. He was badly beaten and received death threats. I doubt he’ll bother you again.”

Olivia didn’t give a hoot about what happened to Geoffrey Gullington. Their relationship was long over. She blinked indifferently, but remained silent.

Valerie paused for a moment before asking cautiously, “Olivia, are we going back to the office or to the villa by Pearl Lake?”

Her expression unchanged, Olivia’s voice was equally indifferent, “Valerie, let’s go for grilled fish.”

Valerie smiled and replied, “Sounds good!”

“Let’s drive towards Serene City Square. There’s a place with really good grilled fish there.”

“Okay!”

The car joined the queue to enter the parking lot at Serene City Square.

Benjamin turned to look at Olivia and, waiting until she came over, he said, “Yes! Are you guys here to eat too?”

A subtle smile played on the corners of Olivia’s lips as she replied, “I’m here to have grilled fish with Valerie. Would you like to join us? Also, I want to thank you for providing crucial information.”

A rare softness shone in Benjamin’s eyes. He grinned lightly; his gentle laughter was as delicate as a feather’s touch. “Sure, I can join you for grilled fish, but seriously, there’s no need for formalities.”

“By the way, I’ve contacted Professor Winnie just as you’d advised. I met him this morning and started treatment. You were spot on. I have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.”

“There are several forms of PTSD. Your case should be relatively mild. Timely treatment and early intervention can help you quickly overcome your past.”

Benjamin, with his gentle eyes on Olivia, said sincerely, “Thank you. I feel so much lighter now and not as oppressed as before.”

“You seem to be enjoying life now, something you probably haven’t experienced before. Am I right?”

His eyes brightened as he responded to Olivia, “You’re so right. It’s only now that I realise I’ve been stuck in a rut and missed out on a lot of beautiful things.”

“Your mental state seems good now. This realisation tells me that you’re starting to let go. Keep it up!”

Even with her simple gestures – a smile, a nod, a blink – Olivia exuded irresistible charisma that left Benjamin in awe.

Suddenly, Olivia’s phone rang. It was a call from Daniel Marshall.
