Chapter 37: I Have Something To Tell You...
Once Chef Austin dismissed his class, he asks Conrad and Olivia to stay for a private conversation between themselves. After hearing that, they stayed in their seats and waited for everyone to leave the room before approaching Chef Austin. Conrad told Alfred that he can go home first since talking to Chef Austin might take a while, and he didn’t want for him to wait outside. Alfred agreed, but before he leaves the room, he whispers to him that he should try to talk to Olivia after their little chat with Chef Austin later. Conrad agreed by saying that he’ll try talking to her once they're done talking to Chef Austin.
