30.

"Natalie, it's your birthday soon. What do you want?" Olivia asked, walking down the streets of LA with her. David had FINALLY let her have a day off, so she took Natalie shopping. They'd accumulated almost ten bags between them of outfits and shoes and whatever they wanted. Now, it was lunch. They entered a sushi bar, sitting at the chairs in front of the conveyor belt.

"You do know it's Corinna's birthday too, right?" Natalie responded. Olivia rolled her eyes and sighed. "I'm aware. But I've got her present, what about you?" She asked. Natalie shook her head and giggled. "I don't want anything, having you as my best friend is already enough."

Olivia smiled. "As sweet as that is, I'm still getting you something."

Olivia decided to text David, as Natalie was unresponsive.

liv🥺: helpful, but i think i know the shoes you mean

boss🎥: welcome, have fun

Natalie and Olivia headed back to David's after their lunch and some more shopping. Jeff, Todd and Zane were there; filming with David. "We're home."

"Jeff, just the man I wanted to see. You're coming with me." Olivia spoke. Natalie snapped her head towards Olivia and wiggled her eyebrows. Once again, Olivia rolled her eyes and shook off her friends hilarious antics. Jeff willingly followed Olivia to her car.

"Olivia, I need footage!" David called out. Olivia opened her door and looked at David holding his camera. Olivia thought. It would look obvious if she just left Natalie on her own at the house. "Come with us then!" She shouted. They took David's Tesla as Olivia's Jeep wouldn't fit everyone in. So Olivia made a plan and made a groupchat.
