Chapter 165

"Olivia? This is Maddie Zimmers," Claude continued his introduction. "Hi, Ms. Maddie. I'm Olivia." "Oh. Hi." Maddie quickly glanced away. Olivia felt embarrassed, especially since she and Sophie had kind of butted into what seemed like a private conversation. Sophie seemed oblivious, though, and complained, "I can't believe you didn't tell me about this!" Ignoring Sophie, Claude turned to Maddie, asking, "Do you want some tea?" "Thanks. I'm a bit thirsty," Maddie replied. Claude poured her a cup and then turned to Olivia. "And what about you? It's been hot lately." He poured another cup for Olivia before she could even respond. "T-Thanks," she said sheepishly. The menu arrived, and Claude handed it to Olivia. "Take a look. You and Sophie can choose whatever you like." Maddie's expression soured, and she stared at Claude in disbelief. "What's wrong?" Claude asked. Maddie clenched her fists. As a young lady from a rich family, she was clearly unused to being ignored.
