It is Frances.

I don't expect that Hilda will bring Frances here.

The moment I see Frances, I wish I can be invisible to him.

But I don't have such a superpower.

"Frances, you should order. You know my taste."

"Two filet steaks. One should be medium-well with tomato sauce. The other should be medium with some black pepper and some black truffles. And add a spoon of caviar on black truffles. Also, a green salad, an Italian cocoa, and a bottle of red wine."
