Mimosa Morning

Breakfast at The Empress Restaurant

The last time that Angela had seen her father was also at this restaurant last Tuesday, where her father invited the Burkes. She's still a little mad about it, but she brushed it off, hoping he wouldn't pull the same stunt today. And she was glad that when she and Oliver arrived, it was just the three of them—a typical meal with her family.

Halfway through their meal, her father changed his attention from Oliver to her. "I heard you went to a charity event last night with Stone. How was it?"

Angela was half surprised that her father already heard about it, though it wasn't a big deal. After all, she saw a lot of people there who had connections with her father. And with her arm hooked with Vincent's as they entered the place, there was bound to be one chatty being who'd go tattle to father dearest. Word sure traveled fast in Mayne City.
