Yvan was glaring intensely at the newspaper headline.

And sure enough, Yvan reached to hurl his ashtray, but Carl, quick as a cat, caught it, and this pas de deux of throw and catch continued with Carl urging. “Mr. Boyd! Please, calm down!” A cold veneer covered Yvan's handsface, “She must be quite something! To ensnare Mason like that!” Carl, having put everything back in its place, kept his peace.

They had clearly booked in advance because, upon giving the business contact’s name, she was promptly escorted to an elegant private dining room.
Opening the door, she found Mason already seated. She greeted him with a smile. “You're always so early.” “Old habits,” Mason gestured for Matilda to sit down. She did so comfortably, and they both settled in with the ease of old friends.
The business contact was an older gentleman who quickly shook hands with everyone upon arrival, smiling at Matilda. “Never would have guessed the mysterious Dawn in our industry was such a lovely lady.” Matilda's response was graceful and natural, “Appreciate the compliment, Micah.” Micah had also brought his son along, a young man who couldn't seem to take his eyes off Matilda, causing her a bit of discomfort.
