200 The Manor (3)

A guard showed up, telling Gael that someone wanted to come and talk to him. Angela looked a few feet behind the guard and saw the couple from outside the club. The man seemed slightly anxious, and when Gael nodded, they came over to the booth.

"Mr. De Luca…" started the man.

Angela figured that he must have asked around about Gael for him to know his surname. Still keeping his features unreadable, Gael faced them. "Are you enjoying your night so far?"

"Yes. Very much so. Thank you for your hospitality." The man rubbed his hands together. "I would just like to apologize for my attitude outside. I didn't mean to offend you."

"You didn't." Gael nodded. "Enjoy the rest of your evening." And just like that, the couple was escorted back to the booth in the VIP section on the ground floor. The interaction lasted less than twenty seconds. Angela saw how he took control of the situation fast and efficiently.
