The Sway and Slide of Love

Chapter 435

Hendrix didn't seem to hear Olivia at first.

Olivia bit her lip and called out again, "Mr. Freeman!"

This time, Hendrix turned around quickly. When he saw her, he immediately frowned.

The person on the phone asked curiously, "Did I just hear a woman's voice? So, you finally couldn't keep it in your pants, huh?"

Hendrix didn't respond. Instead, he simply hung up and looked at Olivia.

"Can you please help me?" Olivia's voice was hoarse, and her eyes were slightly reddened.

"I didn't date Nathan out of my own free will. That night, he took me to a hotel after getting me drunk, and then... he took compromising photos of me. I'm really scared, Mr. Freeman. Please, help me, okay?" Tears streamed down her face as she spoke.

Hendrix simply stood there, watching her silently.

"I can't tell my parents. You're the only one I can turn to. Mr. Freeman, I'm begging you, please..." Olivia took a few steps toward him as she pleaded.

But Hendrix reacted quickly-he immediately took two steps back to avoid her. At the same time, his frown deepened.

Understanding his unspoken message, Olivia quickly stopped in her tracks. "I-I didn't mean it like that, but

I really am out of options."

"I'll talk to Nathan about this," he said.

Olivia's eyes immediately lit up at his words. "Really?"

"Yes."

"Oh, thank you! Thank you so much!"

A smile instantly spread across Olivia's face. She seemed to want to reach out and grab his hand but quickly thought better of it. Her hand hovered awkwardly in the air before she finally pulled it back.

Then, she smiled at Hendrix again, but he simply walked past her without another word.

Olivia knew his help wasn't out of affection for her. It was just that he didn't want her to get tangled up in his family's affairs. Even so, she was grateful toward him.

After all, he could have easily chosen not to help her like last time. But this time, he had stepped in. With that thought in mind, Olivia couldn't help but admire his retreating figure for a few moments. Just then, another voice rang out, "What did he say to you to have you so charmed?"

Olivia's expression immediately changed when she heard Nathan's voice. She quickly lowered her head. She was truly afraid of him, her fear of him deep and visceral. At that moment, she didn't even dare to look at him.

Nathan didn't seem to mind. He casually slung an arm over her shoulders. "What did he promise you just now?"

"No... Nothing-" stammered Olivia, but Nathan cut her off before she could finish.

He said, "It's fine. This is exactly the outcome I wanted."

Olivia looked up in surprise.

Nathan smiled at her. "Why do you think I chose you in the first place?"

His reply made Olivia's eyes widen slightly.

"So, you'd better hang on to Hendrix and not let go, understand? It's good that he agreed to help you. Next, ask him to find you a place to stay. If you don't, I'll send those photos to your family. Got it?"
