“Young Master Laine, I see.”

Ainsley instinctively took in Jasper’s age and referred to him in the same way the youths liked to refer to each other as of late.

“Mr. Laine!” Ainsley immediately changed the way he addressed him while wearing a flattering and apologetic smile on his face.

“My sincere apologies. I did not know that you were good friends with the little prince, Mr. Laine. Let me go set up a new table next door to apologize, Mr. Laine.”

Ainsley said sincerely.
