Olivia Lewis was baffled by his request. Her reaction was swift, and she blinked, imdiately saying, "There’s nothing special about this cup. It’s just so cheap stuff I bought online, 1.5 dollars including postage. If you like it, I can send you the link."
"No need. I just want this cup."
"..."
Uh...
She really couldn’t figure out what was special about her cup, but since August Oliver had already asked for it twice, she couldn’t just refuse, "Alright, if you don’t mind, you can take it."
"Thank you." August Oliver held the cup as if he was holding sothing precious. He glanced at her one last ti, saying with restraint, "Get so rest soon. It’s already late."
"Sure, let see you out."
He ca all the way here in the middle of the night for her business, so it was only right to see him off.
However, August Oliver declined, "I can go down by myself. You don’t need to bother."
"...Okay."
Olivia watched his back as he left and then closed the door to the entrance hall.
After sending off August Oliver, she thought for a mont and quickly called Sunny, informing her that the rumor issue had already been handed over to the company’s public relations departnt.
As for her previous decision to terminate the contract, it might need to be delayed by a few months.
Originally, she didn’t want Celestial Corporation to handle this matter, but she didn’t want Adam Sinclair to resolve it either. How could she even bring it up with Adam Sinclair?
Ask him if the rumors were true?
Or ask him if that hug with his first love was real?
In fact, asking these questions wasn’t the issue; what she couldn’t bring herself to say was that she didn’t want Adam Sinclair’s help in her career. She had never asked Adam Sinclair for anything, and when facing his family and friends, she could interact with them on equal footing. Once he offered her help in her career or finances, she might never be able to interact with him or those around him on equal terms again.
Not letting Adam Sinclair help was her bottom line and principle!
But this matter truly ca too suddenly. It was impossible for her to solve it on her own. When August Oliver approached her, she realized that dragging it out might also implicate August Oliver, and that’s why she had no choice but to let Celestial Corporation handle this unexpected situation.
The phone beeped twice, and Olivia Lewis picked it up while heading to her study, talking as she walked, "Hey, Sister Sunny? Just now you asked about that. I’ve already called the company..."

Olivia Lewis was busy dealing with this sudden news in her small apartnt.
But downstairs, it was like fire and ice!
August Oliver, coming out from her small apartnt, happened to bump into Adam Sinclair, who was returning from outside. The two n almost stopped at the sa ti, their sharp gazes landing on each other!
Adam Sinclair was the first to narrow his eyes, his gaze sliding from August Oliver’s face to the glass cup in his hand.
That cup!
Even though it was just an ordinary glass cup, he imdiately recognized it as Olivia Lewis’s!
Olivia Lewis had a habit of making small marks on all her belongings. It was usually sothing unobtrusive, like a small sticker.
The side of the cup August Oliver was holding had a little sun sticker on it, a small detail that most would overlook, but he was detail-oriented and couldn’t possibly miss it!
The fact that August Oliver was holding this mug indicated that he had just co out of Olivia Lewis’s place—
