Part 2/3
As they walked through the grand doors of the restaurant, Oliver and Cata marvelled at the marble floors and beautiful chandeliers- this place definitely felt out of their (and Sly’s) league. Oliver suddenly began to feel guilty about his anger towards his son. Sly had done all this for them while Oliver was too busy feeling angry.
However, once Sly led them to their table which already had three people seated, all of Oliver’s guilt evaporated. The gentleman introduced himself as Mr. Langraab, as well as his wife and daughter, Patrice. He didn’t seem to recognise that Oliver had once worked at his factory.
The two families sat down to dinner and Cata and Oliver continued to feel out of their depth. Sly seemed to fit right in, talking about profits and business and vacations abroad. He spun many tales about a life of privilege and wealth, a life that was not his.
To close off the dinner, Sly stood up and bent on one knee. Looking into Patrice’s eyes, he asked her to be his wife. However, her answer couldn’t be heard over Cata’s sudden exclamation.
