His face was sharp and chiseled, the handsomeness he presented was all too familiar.
His movements were fluid and graceful, matching the superiority of his aura.
‘Who else could this man be but Bruce Tucker?’ Olivia was kind of surprised.
With all that was happening, she didn't encounter Bruce that often.
Frankly, most of their meetings happened in King's View Bay, and he knew her as a mysterious and skilled genius.
They would occasionally meet, but their greetings would stay polite and indifferent.
At this moment, when Bruce saw her, a hint of playfulness flashed across his face.
Olivia quickly retracted her gaze.
Her expression was serious, with not a trace of friendly courtesy seen.
She looked like an emotionless person.
It was precisely this trait of hers that made Davis Tucker's impression of her slightly better, but he still spoke in a dismissive tone.
He cleared his throat and pursed his lips, "Butler, bring it up so she can start."
Of course, Olivia didn't say anything.
She could feel that Davis was looking down on her from the highest mountain in the world.
It wasn't arrogance, but the confidence of a leader that had managed and made a large clan flourish for decades.
When the butler came up holding something, Olivia also wore her gloves neatly.
In front of her laid a Soaring Snake Jade Pendant.
The surface was very mottled.
It must have been left behind for so many years.
It had been passed on to many numerous people.
Numerous people came to possess it, and there were impurities inside the pendant which was quite hard to remove.
Olivia held the pendant up and examined it carefully.
It was translucent, and the snake pattern carved on it seemed very realistic.
Although the middle part of the pendant was opaque, it was definitely one of a kind.
Olivia looked at it for a while before placing it back to its place.
She tilted her head to the side before she spoke, "This jade pendant is of top quality.It has gone through a thousand years and is incontestably priceless."
"Young woman, do you know why I picked you out of countless people?" David stared at her, his eyes knowing.
"I have no idea"
"Because you can tell stories.’ David suddenly laughed, his solemn face becoming mellow.
"Tell me about this jade pendant"
It seemed that at the Treasure Appraisal Conference last time, her manner of storytelling was quite plausible.
Her excellent presentation spread and became a gimmick that caused people's curiosity to heighten.
However, everyone thought that she was just making it up, but what they didn't know was that she really was just a narrator.
Olivia was quiet for a moment before answering, "Its story wasn't strange.It was accidentally found by a poor scholar.’
"Because the snake symbolizes auspicious and excellent luck, the scholar treated it like a treasure.I didn't expect that he would ascend and follow the steps of a congressman.In the end, the family flourished and the pendant was passed down from generation to generation as a family treasure"
Olivia's voice was very soft.
Even though she had deliberately pretended to be mature, her unhurried dictation conveyed the story as if she experienced it herself. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
As she finished her sentence, David felt as if he was watching a painting unfold.
He was old and tended to beat around the bush.
And even though he was interested, he always acted smart and would never be easily swayed by others.
Besides, no one had the guts to do so.
However, Olivia was different.
Her rendering power was palpable, and unknowingly, she had caught her audience in a trance.
By the time the story was finished, David was still immersed in it.
Olivia didn’t disturb him, and instead turned her gaze aside.
Her gaze inadvertently landed on the person beside her, who happened to be smiling at her direction.
Bruce sat there, his body emanating with a powerful aura.
Even if Olivia wanted to, she couldn't possibly ignore it.
Moreover, he didn't seem moved after hearing her story.
On the contrary, he was more interested in watching her than listening to what she had to say.
Olivia's heart trembled.
‘Does he want anything from me?’ Just as she was trying to guess what it was, Bruce's lips curled up,
"That's right."
She didn't say anything, but he still dragged on with a conclusion.
Olivia smiled and replied politely, "You praise me too much, Mr.Tucker"
The mission was even easier to complete than he had imagined.
After a short farewell, she received the reward given by David.
It was a cheque.
Olivia didn't know how much it was, but she thought it wouldn't be a small amount.
"Goodbye”
