Dominic was the only one attending the lunch meeting today, so Gerard was just acting as the driver. He invited Vespera along after noticing Nancy bothering her as they were leaving, so he decided to bring her too.

The car pulled up to a courtyard with a Jitanese design. From the outside, you could faintly glimpse the dry landscape garden within.

Upon entering, Dominic was politely escorted by a middle-aged man who welcomed him, while Vespera and Gerard were led by another woman in a professional suit to a different area.

In the large tatami room, Vespera and Gerard took their seats. After a short wait, an extravagant meal was presented to them.
