Chapter 1255 The Dinner

Meanwhile, Eugene was particularly susceptible to following Olivia's wishes when she spoke softly and demurely. Thus, he agreed to do as she asked. At 6.00PM sharp, Jewel and Olivia arrived at the restaurant where they would be meeting Albert.

Olivia had assumed Albert and River would not be there yet, but when she opened the door to the room they had reserved, she noticed the two men inside. Then, she quickly looked at her watch and realized that while she wasn't exactly late, it was still rather awkward for the host to arrive after the guests. "My apologies for being late," she said.

Albert hurriedly got to his feet and politely replied, "No, no. You're not. We were here early."

She smiled and stepped into the room. "Please, sit down."
