From a Wrong Turn to Mr. Right novel Chapter 52

Olivia Bennett gave a small nod, her expression suddenly darkening.

Helen Adams noticed right away, a bad feeling creeping into her chest. She spoke up hesitantly, “Olivia, do you not want to see her? If you’d rather rest, I can ask her to leave.”

She looked guilty as hell.

If only she’d asked more questions. She’d seen Lavinia Bennett was a woman—dressed to the nines, clearly not your average Jane—and figured there wouldn’t be any trouble, so she’d let her guard down.

“So I’m not welcome here, huh?” Lavinia Bennett had already spotted Olivia, and as she took off her sunglasses, she cast a slow, scrutinizing look around the room.

Finally, her eyes landed back on Olivia. Her mouth curled into a smirk, pure disdain in her gaze. “Isn’t this supposed to be a business? Is this how you treat your customers?”

Helen could feel the tension, and her guilt only deepened. “Olivia…”

“It’s fine,” Olivia said quietly, giving Helen a reassuring look before striding forward, her face cold as stone. “How I run my business is none of your concern. If you don’t like it, the door’s right there. I won’t stop you.”

Lavinia bristled at Olivia’s chilly attitude, her brows knitting in irritation. But she quickly smoothed it over.

Fine, so Olivia wanted to play it cool.

Let’s see how long she can keep it up.

Lavinia forced down her annoyance, arching an eyebrow. “Look, I’m not here to fight. This is a photography studio, right? I want to book a wedding shoot.”

She shot Olivia a challenging smile, drawing out every word: “For me and Daniel.”

Wedding shoot?

She and Daniel Gill were getting married?

The words hit Olivia like a slap, leaving her stunned.

Old memories cracked open and flooded her mind. Her chest tightened with a familiar ache.

Was it because she still had feelings for Daniel?

And, well, to make sure Daniel’s mind was made up too.

Sure, Daniel always did whatever Lavinia wanted, but she still got the sense he hadn’t fully moved on from Olivia.

This would settle it, once and for all.

With this thought, Lavinia shot Olivia a smug glance and laughed, “Isn’t this place all about making money? What, you’re turning down business now? Or are you just too scared to face it?”

“That’s right.”

Olivia’s answer was immediate, and Lavinia’s face darkened.

She’d known it.

Lavinia’s lips parted, about to speak, when Olivia cut in again.
