She travels under the alias Adele Leighton to enjoy some anonymity. On the ship, she is immediately drawn to the luxurious amenities, from the grand staircase to the fine - dining options.
One day by the pool, she notices a young couple. Moments later, she catches the eye of Roman, who is with the girl. After that, Roman can't get Olivia out of his mind. He is intrigued by her beauty and mystery. At dinner, he approaches her and compliments her, saying she is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen.
