139 Dinner

"Oh, Miss Altamari!" A middle-aged man in a neat suit called out Julia's name when he saw them enter the restaurant. He hastily abandoned whatever he was doing and went straight to Juliana who was delighted to have him at just the right time.

"What a surprise you came by," he added as he stood right in front of Julia. With his hand gesture, he motioned them to sit at the dining table in the private room.

"Hi, Travo. Long time no see, huh?" Juliana greeted back and held out a hand which was immediately greeted by the man named Travo.

"That's right, Miss. It's been a few months since you last came here."

The man was the manager of this restaurant. Julia and Travo had met several times in the past.

"What brings you to Sienna this time?" he asked Julia.

"Just a matter of work," said the girl.
