For the rest of the night, the dinner went… smoothly. Too smoothly, in Lola's opinion, and she was growing suspicious. The smile Atlas had given her bothered her more than it should have, but she decided not to dwell on it.
"Thank you for the meal," Lola said, offering a subtle smile. "It was a nice dinner." Despite knowing that it was Second who had arranged everything.
"Did you like it?" Atlas asked, and she nodded. "Glad to hear."
Just then, the server, who had served them all night, approached the table.
"How was the night?" he asked excitedly.
"Good." Atlas buttoned his blazer as he rose to his feet, facing the man. "Tell David she's satisfied. Good work."
"I'm glad to hear that. It's our honor, sir." The server lowered his head to him, then to Lola. "Come back again anytime, Madam."
Lola's mouth opened to correct him, but she found herself closing it. Instead, she offered another smile and a nod. "Thank you for serving us tonight."
