"What's so funny?"
Gwenda asked in confusion.
"Gwenda, that heroic save you did earlier was so cool! If you were a guy, I'd definitely marry you."
Hattie held onto her arm and grinned like an idiot.
Gwenda shuddered. "Quit that! I'm a girl and I like boys! Drop those improper thoughts of yours."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. From now on, I guess I can only pledge my undying loyalty to you to repay you for saving my life."
Hattie batted her eyelashes at Gwenda, who rolled her eyes in response. "Be normal!"
...
"Fine..."

At the same time, Otto said to Olivier, "Boss, I just heard that Cecilia Kelly is also here tonight. I think it's safe to presume that Miss Evans came as well."
Otto parked the car outside the hotel where the charity banquet was held. He turned to Olivier in a nosy manner after he got out of the car.
Hearing this, Olivier raised an eyebrow slightly but did not respond.
Otto continued, "By the way, I also heard that the organiser will be auctioning off the "Heart of the Ocean". Are you interested?"
"Heart of the Ocean"?"
"Yes, that legendary necklace that would supposedly make the person you love fall for you if you gifted it to them."
Olivier smiled. "Do people actually believe in such a legend?"
"Well, yes. From what I hear, many people are coming to bid tonight."
Otto said before chuckling, "Boss, do we need to prepare in advance and buy the necklace for Miss Evans?"
Olivier's eyes glimmered with mirth. "Go ahead and get it done."
Otto chuckled quietly to himself. "Yes, sir."
