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."

Despite this, River did not sit but instead bowed to her. "Thank you so much, Miss Maxwell."

Olivia was dumbfounded by the unexpected show of appreciation and asked, "Thank me? For what? Should I not be thanking you instead?"

"Yes. We're the ones who should be thanking you," Jewel chimed up. "Without your testimony, the police would not have let me go so easily."

"That's not—" River hurriedly rolled up his sleeves and said, "Look at this, Miss Maxwell. My wound has healed up. It's all thanks to you. If not for your medicine, I could never have recovered so quickly."

With a new understanding of the situation, Olivia said, "Oh, that. It's nothing. It's great that you're fine now."

"Miss Maxwell, I was a stupid fool in the past. I projected my meanspirited assumptions onto you. Today, I realize that you are a friend worth having. Sir was not mistaken in choosing you."

With her mind stuck between crying and laughing, she teasingly said, "Your mind got better along with your arm."

After hearing this, River scratched his head awkwardly and stated, "I'm sorry, Miss Maxwell. Please don't be angry with me."

Then, she smiled as she ushered him into his seat. "I'm not angry at all. It's in the past, and I'm not that petty."

At this moment, Albert chuckled helplessly and said, "He has been going on and on about thanking you in person over the past few days."

"There's no need to thank me. It was nothing."

"I've been meaning to ask you this since I saw how deftly you bandaged River's arm. You're a designer, right? How are you that good at treating someone?"

Olivia smiled and replied. "I've stayed in a clinic for six years. I only started a fashion studio after I returned home."

Albert's eyes widened in shock as he exclaimed, "Amazing!"

"Not really," she humbly responded. "If you stay in a clinic long enough, you'll eventually learn something just by being surrounded by everything you overhear."
