Sam sighed and shook his head.

"She just doesn't know, how wrong she is."

He knew better than anyone that he is not a great company. He is brutally blunt and doesn't care much for other people. He might be polite, but it is hard for him to respect someone just from the face value and he doesn't like faking some smiles and making some idiotic small talk.

"Yes Sir."

The subordinate went back.

Soon, it is night. Grivon and Sam went to the dinner.

It was arranged in Giyon's personal estate and the arrangements were done in the garden. The whole mansion is not particularly full. There is not much furniture and apart from the structural integrity, there is nothing special in the way it was constructed.
