America 1919

After Donnie and Margaret arrived, Dunlop warmly led them to their seats.

Looking at the empty restaurant, Margaret looked at Donnie, puzzled.

Before Donnie could explain, Dunlop had already done so, "Mr. Block has just reserved the entire restaurant. To satisfy Mr. Block's needs, we just sent all our other customers away!"

Margaret's eyes began to sparkle with hearts!

"Let's start serving the dishes!" Donnie, like a gentleman, pulled out a chair for Margaret.

After they sat down, a violinist came over to start playing beautiful music.

Just as Margaret was enjoying Donnie's tenderness, a waiter came over with a bit of difficulty.

"Mr. Block, I'm very sorry, but there are two guests at the door, they say they're your friends, and we..."

Donnie said somewhat unhappily, "Didn't I say that tonight is a world for just Margaret and me? No one else is allowed to come in!"

The waiter helplessly said, "That's what we told them, but the other party insisted on coming in..."

Just as Donnie was about to lose his temper, Margaret spoke up, "Donnie, I'm already very moved tonight, don't let your friends be unhappy because of me. Let's just let them come in!"

"Alright," Donnie said 'reluctantly.'

It wasn't long before Harding and Breton walked in.

"Mr. Block, it really is you!"

Breton seemed as surprised as if he didn't know Donnie would actually be there, pulling Harding to sit excitedly at the same table as Donnie and Margaret, and said, "I was just saying someone must be using your name because at this time, you should be at Block Tavern, right?"

Donnie also showed a surprised expression, "Breton, aren't you supposed to be at Block Tavern at this time too?"

"It seems Walker hasn't told you— I just called Block Tavern to let them know I won't be going there tonight!"

Donnie glanced at Harding, who was sitting next to Breton, and said, "Well, in that case, I can accept it!"

Harding was truly curious to see Donnie here tonight. If it wasn't for Donnie being here in advance and even reserving the entire venue to celebrate his girlfriend's birthday, Harding would have suspected that this evening's meeting was deliberately arranged by Donnie.

When they came in, the waiter had already told them that Donnie had reserved the entire restaurant just to celebrate his girlfriend's birthday.

In fact, after learning this, Harding didn't want to dine here. After all, he had sneaked out tonight and only brought two bodyguards, so Harding didn't want to draw too much attention to the matter from his family.

But it was Breton who insisted on eating here and said, "Darling, this restaurant is the best in all of Atlantic City. I want every moment I spend with you to be the most top-notch!"

It was only because of Breton's insistence that Harding decided to stay.

"Donnie, I guess you and your girlfriend must be very affectionate, otherwise you wouldn't have left the Miss America event to be here!"

Harding said with a smile.

Donnie humbly replied, "Actually, I've already arranged everything for Miss America. Whether I'm there or not, it's all the same, so I came out!"

Breton spoke pointedly, "Being able to find a boyfriend like you, Donnie, is truly every woman's dream!"

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Harding, intentionally or otherwise.

Harding gave an embarrassed smile.

Donnie said, "Mr. Harding is busy with work. In the future, he will have to lead the United States into an even more prosperous era. Surely he's different from leisurely people like us!"

With Donnie stepping in, Harding immediately gave Donnie a thankful look.

After this pleasant opening, the atmosphere at their table became much warmer and more joyful.

"Donnie, how do you think the broadcast will be received this time?"

Since it was the first time Donnie and Harding interacted like this, they chatted about the styles of Atlantic City for a while. Still, Harding couldn't help but revert to work matters subconsciously.

Donnie laughed, "If I say it was very successful, that would just be me boasting. But based on the last broadcast in Atlantic City, I think at least a million people heard Mr. Harding's voice this time!"

Although Donnie spoke modestly, Harding couldn't help but be astonished. His live speeches could only attract so many people. And even with newspaper advertising, not everyone who bought a paper would go to see it, but this speech was heard by a million listeners, a fact that couldn't fail to amaze Harding!

"I'm now very glad you are in Atlantic City, Donnie, and also started America's first commercial radio station!" Harding said with some emotion.

Donnie seemed somewhat helpless, "I'm also lucky that you've come to Atlantic City now, Mr. Harding. If it were a year or two later, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had the chance to offer you my services!"

Harding was slightly shocked. If Donnie's radio station truly could provide a million listeners, then Harding would definitely need to maintain a good relationship with Donnie, after all, he didn't plan on being the President for just one term.
