Chapter 826

The reply came almost instantly. 'What happened to your voice?'

'It's nothing. Olivia said it's a little inflamed, and I'll be okay after taking some medication. Also, you should look for

another bodyguard.'

'Are you quitting?' Alex asked.

'Yeah, Olivia is in danger, and she will start filming in a few days. I would like to accompany her,' Jewel replied.

'Okay. Where are you now?'

'I'm with Olivia.'

'In her studio?'

'But we're going out to buy some medications and supplements later.'

'I'll wait for you at the studio.'

Jewel didn't reply to his texts because she didn't know how to break the news of her resignation to him. So, she

typed on her phone and showed the screen to Olivia. 'Let's go to your office. If he comes over, tell him that I went

home.'

Sure enough, Alex appeared at Olivia's studio less than an hour later, but only Olivia was in the room.

He swept his gaze across the studio and looked in suspiciously. "Where's Jewel?"

Olivia took a seat calmly. "She went back."

"She already went home? Is she alright?"

Olivia cast him a chilly look. "What are you asking about?"

He was confused by the cool reception as he responded honestly, "I meant her voice. Isn't her throat inflamed?"

"Yeah, it's inflamed," she answered.

Then, he slid into a seat in front of her. "Is she okay? Will it affect her voice in the future?"

She nonchalantly replied, "We'll only know after she takes the medication and observing her condition."

"She didn't take any alcohol or spicy food. So, why is her throat inflamed all of a sudden?" Alex inquired.

"All kinds of factors could be a cause of inflammation. Anxiety, excitement, anger, and speaking a lot could cause

discomfort. Her throat is still healing, after all," a stoic Olivia commented.

"Anxiety and anger? What's making her anxious, and why would she be angry?"

Olivia threw him a dirty look. "I'm just saying that those are the factors that could cause discomfort in her throat."

The more Alex thought about it, the more worried he became and he sprang to his feet. "I'm going to check on her

at her place," he said and headed out.

Olivia didn't stop him, and after a few minutes, Jewel came out of her office.

Olivia didn't turn her head as she spoke, "He still cares about you very much."

'So what?' Jewel gestured in sign language.

In the evening, she took the elevator with Olivia to have dinner at Olivia's place, completely unaware that Alex was

still waiting in vain in front of her door.

When Alex left Olivia's studio and went to her place, it was a little past 4.00PM. He waited for a long while and

eventually checked the time on his watch, which showed that it was already past 9.00PM.

He was startled at how time flew so quickly as he scrambled to his feet in a hurry. Did I fall asleep without realizing

it? Otherwise, how did time pass me by so fast? Where is she? Her phone is switched off and she's not home either.

Did something happen to her?

At the thought of this, he broke out in cold sweat as he was terrified by his own thoughts. He desperately clutched

his phone as he phoned Olivia's number.

Thankfully, she quickly answered, "Hello."

"Olivia, do you know where Jewel is?" Alex asked in a panic. "I came to her place after I left your studio and have

been waiting ever since, but I haven't seen her yet. Could she be in an accident?"

On the other end, Olivia remained silent for a moment before she said, "Are you still at her place?"

"Yeah," he answered and pressed the doorbell. "Is she home but not opening the door for me?"

"Come over to my place, then," she invited, utterly resigned by the duo's antics.

"Okay," Alex replied and hung up. He didn't bother with the lift as he took the staircase to level 59 where Olivia had

already opened the door for him.

"Did you just sit there and wait? Didn't you give her a call?"

"I did, but her phone is not switched on," he said, changing to a pair of indoor flip-flops and walking in. The second

he saw Jewel at the dining table, his eyes lit up, and a smile spread across his face. "Why are you at Olivia's place? I

waited in vain for a few hours at your place," he whined.
