I NEED HELP

"LET'S not beat around the bush and just go straight to the point," Ellis said. 

"I agree," Olivia said with a nod.

Ellis waited for the other to say something other than that, but no such thing happened. Olivia just stared at the wine glass in front of her. "Well? Why did you go into all this trouble just to put my artist into that program?"

Olivia finally picked up the wine glass and took a sip. "Maybe it's just a coincidence."

A slight frown appeared on Ellis' face. "I thought we would not beat around the bush and just go straight to the point? So, what's with the vague response?"

Olivia chuckled. "Well, will you believe me if I say I did it so you would contact me on your own accord?"

Ellis frowned even more. Especially since she remembered the nonsense Astrid told her earlier. "You- you're not planning to ask me to have an affair with you, right?"
