Chapter 97: Tenderness Like Water
"Ask the waiter to serve. I ordered something you like." Ophelia said.
"Well." Alan waved his hand and the waiter served the lunch.
Ophelia had been abroad for many years and she was used to eat western food. This meal mainly made of steak, according to their own preferences, they also ordered some side dishes and snacks.
Olive picked up the knife and fork, cutting down her medium cooked steak, she even can see the blood, she frowned slightly, she did not like the taste of blood, it was much better to eat Chinese food with Mr. Geve.
Alan saw her was strange, "Miss Steele, don't you like it?"
"Nothing." Olive did not want to sacrifice her stomach, she called the waiter, "Please fry for me again, I'd like well-done."
The waiter politely replied, "Yes, just a moment, please."
Ophelia apologized quickly, "Oh, it's all my fault, I didn't think of Miss Steele's preference but Alan's, sorry."
If she really felt sorry, the sun will rise from the west, Olive felt there was no need to be polite with her, showing her a fake smile, "It doesn't matter, It can be fried again."
"Alan likes to eat this kind of steak, which is half cooked.”Ophelia said to herself.
Olive smiled again, did not answer her.
The waiter take the well-done steak back very soon, Olive didn't eat too much western food, although she was not good at using knives and forks, she can also make herself gentle.
However, under the table, she felt as if someone accidentally hit her leg.
Damn Alan, did he want to do it again?
But after bumping like this, it stopped. Maybe she worried too much, Olive thought. After all, the space under the table was so small that the possibility of being accidentally touched was not unknown.
But before long, she felt a direct look coming from the other side and raised her head to meet his eyes. His expression was like smile but including something meaningful.
"Alan, what's wrong?" Ophelia put down the knife and fork, she looked at two of them in doubts.
"Nothing." Alan lightly dropped the word, he lowered his head to continue eating.
Ophelia didn't know what happened just now, why he was smiling, he just didn't make any sense.
When Susie had eaten such a meal, she should guess what relationship between Ophelia and Alan, even she did not know Ophelia's identity before.
Olive originally thought that Susie will feel some loss at least, and she will be hostile to Ophelia, but what she did not expect was that Susie affably asked Ophelia for details of the party just after dinner. Olive sat next to them and just looked at them, she thought of the day Susie was arrogant to say that woman unmarried was not a wife, she suddenly felt funny.
This woman was a genius. Facing different people, say different words, Olive thought she was not good as her.
She fawned on Ophelia at this time, it was presumably not simple.
Instead of making enemies first, it was better to please and relax the vigilance of the other party, and then strike out without any warning. Who said Susie only had beauty? her brain was also good enough.
Olive looked at the two women talking very happy with great interest. Susie’s sweet talk was useful. Ophelia will ask the opinion of Alan from time to time, Alan always smiled to them with less words and always told her to decide on her own.
It was as if no matter what she did, he would be there for her.
Ophelia felt she was redundant here, and when they were over, she got up to leave. Although the scale of the party was not very large, the workload was not small. All kinds of small details and unexpected situations were actually tedious.
Ophelia pretended to be friendly to her in front of Alan.
Olive also formulaic replied her, "This is my job, please don't mention it."
She turned around and left without saying a word.
When she got back to the office, she started to contact the entertainment company. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
she made a few phone calls, the other side said the band's schedule was full. she didn't know whether it was because of the foreign festival, and band which was not well-known also available.
Olive consulted several entertainment company, and she was always given the similar responses, she muttered, "What a day!"
It seemed that she'll have to hire an underground band. There were quite a few such bands in the city. There were in all kinds of bars, big and small, but the standards were not uniform.
Although the party could not invite too well-known bands, it will steal the show, but also could not invite too bad bands, that would be a loss of ownership.
It's a tricky business.
Olive thought of Chloe, her eyes gleamed and called her. Waittingbar.
The resident band, which was not affiliated with an agency, but was known in Luo city and was considered one of the most popular bands in the country.
Chloe was still sleeping, "What's the matter, dear?"
So Olive told her the whole thing simply.
