Olivia paused when she heard Linda, unsure of how to respond.

Linda asked, "Do you have plans already? Are you busy?"

"Oh, no," Olivia quickly answered. She couldn't believe she actually had to attend the event.

Linda then said, "Okay, Mr. Tyler won't remind you again. Someone will bring your dress for tonight."

Olivia just listened and nodded.

Linda didn't linger. After a bit more small talk, she said, "I'll leave you alone then."

About thirty minutes after Linda left, someone delivered Olivia's dress.

Now that she was pregnant, her belly was noticeable. She couldn't fit into a tight dress, so they had to be chosen and altered carefully.

Luckily, she didn't need to worry about that. Tyler's staff would handle it.

When she tried on the dress, it fit her perfectly and didn't accentuate her belly. The person who brought it sighed with relief.

They left soon after, respecting her need for rest.

Tyler got home around five in the afternoon. When the car arrived, Linda came to escort Olivia downstairs.

Olivia had been waiting in her room for a while. She got up and followed Linda.

Tyler was in the car, staring straight ahead as Olivia approached. He didn't look at her. When she reached the car, the driver opened the door for her. They drove off in silence, Tyler only speaking to instruct the driver to start moving. He was dressed sharply in a black suit, dark tie, and leather shoes.

Olivia sat quietly, her face expressionless and pale, going through the motions like a puppet.

After what had happened that night, she had learned to detach herself. She no longer invested emotionally in anything around her. This was the boundary she had set for herself. Throughout the ride, Tyler sat with his legs crossed, gazing out the window as the scenery flew by.

Suddenly, Linda, who was in the passenger seat, mentioned, "Sir, there might be an interview with the journalists at the event tonight."

Without hesitation, Tyler responded, "Cancel it, we're not doing it."

Linda noted down his directive, "Sure, sir."

Like a dolled-up puppet, Olivia acted as if she hadn't heard anything.
