When Alice and Sammy got to the restaurant, they realized that everyone from the office had already arrived, Ophelia included. When they walked in, they noticed that the tables of the restaurant had been pushed to the sides of the room and the food was all being served as a buffet. Alice looked around and saw all her colleagues that were invited, mingling amongst themselves along with some other people that she did not recognize, probably business associates of Ophelia, Alice assumed.
“Hey, you guys are finally here,” said Brian walking towards them with a plate filled with savories, almost as much as he had stuffed in his mouth. “Ophelia sure knows how to throw a party, am I right?”
“Chew, swallow and then talk, it's a normal process that humans follow Brian,” said Sammy, already looking irritated with him.
“Come on, chill out. Grab a few drinks and get some shrimp, no ways we can afford to eat here on our salaries.”
“He has a point,” said Sammy looking over at Alice.
