Gautier’s arrangement today was incredibly clever. Needless to say, the setting was beautiful. Moreover, the dining area was strategically placed in a public space, yet far enough from other customers.

This way, there were plenty of people around who could observe them and witness their reactions, but couldn’t overhear their conversation.

“Mr. Verkade, I apologize. You spoke for quite a while just now. I can’t recall what you said. What exactly is your position?” Emmanuel apologized.
