Victor did not respond to Simon's remark.
Hunter explained, “We didn’t expect Ms. Torrey to stay late tonight. Mr. Smith had askedto get sseafood
at the last minute. Ms. Torrey, hope you don’t mind.”
“Not at all.” Ariana assured him, “I usually don’t eat dinner, And | prefer light and mild dishes.”
