Chapter 33: Chapter 33

“It’s wonderful to meet you,” Tony said after releasing him while Marsha still had one arm around his waist. “Welcome to our humble diner.”

“Thank you, Tony, Marsha. I’m delighted to be here.”

After that, Marsha led him and Leonardo toward one of the tables next to the window while Tony simply told them he would return to the kitchen to get the food ready. Once he and Leonardo were seated, Marsha excused herself to assist her husband in the kitchen. He noticed the diner was empty, except for all theguards.

It still felt a bit strange to have so many guards protecting him while he was about to have dinner. The charity event didn’t count since there were many other people in the building. He could sort of ignore the guards’ presence back then. This empty diner wasn’t the same at all. He figured it might be due to the fact that he had never been surrounded by them in public. After all, he was inside the palace most ofthe time.
