As Olivia was feeling puzzled, Jeremy whispered a few words in her ear:
"Help me stand."
He had drunk too much, and the effects of the alcohol were now kicking in. Given that he was the man of the hour, it would be embarrassing to be found passed out here. It would be tomorrow's headline and everyone would be laughing.
Quickly but subtly, Olivia helped him to his feet, although to outsiders, it looked like an intimate gesture.
Soft whispers filled the room, yet Olivia remained stoic. Only after escorting Jeremy to his room did she leave.
"Olivia..."
Jeremy suddenly called her back.
Olivia halted her footsteps, turning to look at him with a grin on her face. "Sir, do you have any further instructions?"
Jeremy gave her a tender smile. "Stop having feelings for me."
