“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.
