Olivier couldn’t help but smirk. Of course his cousin would get himself in trouble. Sure it was a “misunderstanding”. Then Carter left to greet the Privilege. That wasn’t a surprise either. He dismissed himself politely and headed over to bask in Jessika Thrice’s presence.
”Well,” Olivier feigned indignant surprise. ”That shows where we stand doesn’t it.” he turned to Zoe with a playful smirk. ”Please tell me what my cousin did so I can embarrass him with it later.”
Olivier took another sip of his drink and continued. ”And what brings Zoe Marveet to the Radiance this evening.”
Before she could answer a waiter approached with a bottle of Champagne. It was a Krug Grande Cervée - stylish, but not opulent. The waiter told him it was with the compliments of the gentleman that he then pointed out. It was the attractive man Olivier had noticed before. Olivier had recieved his smile and salute before.
Oliver raised the bottle to the gentleman in thanks and gestured in a way that showed he was welcome to join them. If the guy was going to buy him a drink, he was going to offer to share. ”Do you enjoy, champagne as well as a good Negroni, Zoe?” he asked, signaling for some glasses.
