The bar.
Olivia was sitting at the bar, slowly turning the wine glass in her slender hands. Her eyes were dull as if
she was thinking about something.
“Pheebs?”
Jennie raised her wine glass and touched hers. “What’s wrong with you? You called me here to drink,
but you’re sitting here in a daze. Are you still thinking about the atelier?”
Then, she patted Olivia on the shoulder and sighed. “Hey, since you’re out drinking, don’t think about
that anymore. Anyway, Bob will handle it now, right?”
Olivia recomposed herself and looked at Jennie. She forced a smile and said, “Yeah, you’re right.”
Immediately, she raised her glass and drank the wine down in one gulp. Then, she slammed the glass
on the bar counter. “Another one!”
Jennie froze for a moment. “Pheebs, although I don’t want you to stare into space, don’t drink so much.

“It’s okay. The point of coming to a bar is to get a little drunk, right?”
Perhaps she would not be able to remember a lot of things when she was drunk.
It would be best to forget.
After three or four glasses, Olivia gradually got tipsy.
Her head was buzzing, and she felt as if the world was spinning, but her memory did not dissipateat all.
Suddenly, she fell into Jennie’s arms and looked at her with a wry smile. “Jennie, I’m actually a bringer
of bad luck, you know?”
“Pheebs, you’ve had too much to drink.”
“I didn’t. I’m still very sober. I clearly remember that I killed the people around me.”
“Pheebs…”
Jennie stared blankly at the person in her arms. This was the first time Olivia had brought up herpast.
They had known each other for three years, but she had never said anything about her past.
Every time Jennie asked her about it, she would give vague replies.
Jennie really wanted to comfort her and say, ‘You’re fine. It’s not your fault,’ but when she looked down
into Olivia’s eyes, she suddenly felt very sad.
The words of comfort were suddenly stuck in her throat.
‘What has she experienced to have such sad eyes?”
Olivia straightened up, leaned against the bar, and continued to drink. Then, she said, “Jennie, you
should stay away from me. I’m afraid I’ll hurt you.
“The last person who became friends with me died, and the one before that died too.”
As she spoke, she suddenly turned her head to look at Jennie. “Aren’t you afraid?”
Jennie’s heart skipped a beat, but she quickly pried open Olivia’s hand which was holding onto the
wine glass. “Stop drinking. You’ve drunk too much. You’re starting to talk nonsense.”
“I’m not. Let me drink. I can only see them again if I drink more.”
She grabbed the glass and downed the drink. “Another one!”
Jennie quickly shook her head at the bartender. “Don’t give her any more.”
“More!”

The bartender had no choice but to give her another glass.
Jennie went to stop her, but she failed. She then began to panic as she watched Olivia drink another
glass.
This was the first time in three years she had ever witnessed Olivia lose her composure.
Olivia put down her wine glass and suddenly smiled. “Life is so sad. You think you work hard enough,
but in the end, you can’t escape the hands of others, hehe…”
However, as she was laughing, she suddenly burst into tears.
Tears slid down the corners of her eyes to her mouth. They tasted bitter and salty, making her chest
tight.
Why?
How did she get to this point?
She suddenly fell backward and landed in a hard embrace.
That faint but familiar smell made her tense up. Just as she was about to turn her head to look,
she saw Jennie pointing at the person behind her. “Um… Mr. Freeman?”
Olivia felt a chill in her heart. ‘This man is everywhere!’
