The receptionist glanced at Oprah and informed her, "Miss Angela, your appointment is scheduled for nine o'clock. It's currently 8:47, so you'll have to wait until Miss Cathy finishes her blind date before entering."
At that moment, Oprah grasped the concept of this blind date. Turned out, it was for the man to choose. Furthermore, the entire Italian restaurant had been reserved exclusively for this occasion.
However, it was quite strange for her. The Johnson family was known for their influence and prestige in the city. But the date the man arranged for Angela required her to wait in line.
So, how influential was that man actually?
However, while initially taken aback, Oprah was aware such practices were commonplace among the powerful and influential in Manhattan who discreetly moved to this city.
Good! The way suited her, as she could swiftly complete the blind date and depart later.
Within ten minutes, another rejected socialite emerged, and her heart shattered.
