Aleena followed up, "She's right. This is between us women. Eugene, please leave us alone."

As she continued, she put the wine glass up in the air. "Here's to you, Miss Maxwell!"

Aleena drank red wine, so did Olivia, who simultaneously downed it.

Aleena topped up the glasses again. "Miss Maxwell, I like that! Let me offer you another toast!"

Olivia had a gentle smile on her face while she downed it once again.
