Nolan and Evalyn turned at the same time. Standing before them was a beautiful woman dressed in a black kimono.
Her face was coated in thick white makeup, giving her a slightly unusual appearance.
But having already seen her at the entrance, both Evalyn and Nolan remained calm, their expressions unchanged.
"It's alright. Please, come in," Nolan said softly.
The geisha nodded and stepped inside, walking to the far end of the room.
There, she opened a closet, revealing five types of musical instruments, all neatly arranged.
"Sir, ma'am, do you prefer classical music or something gentler?" she asked.
Nolan paused for a moment before replying, "Soft ones, please. Play that for us."
The woman selected a shamisen, a three-stringed instrument plucked to produce delicate sounds.
Moving to stand before Nolan and Evalyn, she sat gracefully and started to play.
Ding!
