Chapter 2018: Discussing the Wedding

Luther had reserved a large private room at the banquet hall, and it was almost time for dinner, a perfect opportunity for everyone to gather.

Felix and Vicki made their way to the private room, where Karl soon joined them.

Karl had changed into casual attire, though it was still a slightly formal suit compared to the others. He stood at the door of the room, nodding in greeting as he saw the others inside.

Luther was standing by the window, on a call. When he saw Karl enter, he gestured towards a seat.

Felix carefully observed Karl, and jokingly said, "Commission Gregory graces us with his presence. I've met you before, but this is the first time we've dined together. Commission Gregory's formality makes us feel a bit restrained, doesn't it? Those in the bureaucratic world truly have a different air about them."

Joyce jumped into the conversation, "Formal? Mr. Saunders, you don't know that when Commission Gregory arrived, he was wearing the inspection office uniform. Quite impressive. For those who don't know, they'd think he was there for an official investigation. Just now, Commission Gregory deliberately went back to his room to change his clothes."

She scrutinized Karl's refined appearance, "It seems he even took a shower and dried his hair."

Karl seemed resigned, "You're all making fun of me."

"Mr. Saunders, I've spent some time in Khebury. I've heard a lot about your exploits," Karl greeted Felix.

"Of course, the Saunders Residence is well-known in the bureau. I'm aware of that. There used to be a lot of negative rumors, but those have been whitewashed in recent years. The Gregory family's background is well-established in the judicial world, with your father being the chief justice. It's no wonder Commission Gregory looks so upright. Your family and mine are like day and night, completely different types of people from different worlds. It's a pleasure to dine together today, I'll make sure to toast you properly later," Felix remarked.
