He opens the door and gets out, reaching a hand in to assist me. The restaurant is not the kind of place I would expect to have a meeting with an important client. It’s got an A-line roof with a steep pitch, almost resembling a tepee. The entire front has dark, diamond-shaped windows. Guests are seated at the tables spread out under an awning, surrounded by palm trees and hibiscus flowers.

As we walk in, I feel completely overdressed.

“I don’t have my notebook,” I whisper to Luke.

“Just use your phone to make notes of any numbers, dates, or names we discuss. You don’t need to write it all, just the highlights.”

“Okay.”

We go right past the stand with hostesses, and he leads me up a stairway in the middle of the room. The interior is nice, but it’s not overly fancy. The wooden beams and potted plants give it an earthy, natural feel.

As we reach the top of the stairs, we enter a small private dining area near an open balcony. In the distance, I can make out the whitecaps of the ocean reflecting in the moonlight.

There are already three men sitting down, all dressed in suits and ties. They stand to greet us, bowing slightly.

Luke returns the bow before extending his hand to the shortest one in the middle. He greets him in a foreign dialect.

I’ve heard him speak this language at the office when he was on the phone.

The older man responds with a smile and says something in return.

Luke chuckles, nodding as they take their seats.

I find mine next to Luke, pulling out my phone. I glance around for someone who might be a translator.

The waitress approaches with a bottle of wine they must have ordered earlier. She also brings a platter with rows of sushi in various colors. It looks divine, and my mouth waters despite the lobster I gorged myself on. Our intimate moment on the deck feels like a lifetime ago. The waitress begins to fill everyone’s glasses.

Luke turns to me, speaking again in the same language.

I nod along like I know what they’re saying, smiling at him as he looks at me. I’ve gathered that the other man is from Korea, and we’ve been introduced.

They exchange a few more pleasantries. The one I’m assuming is Mr. Lim throws his head back, laughing, while the two men beside him look at each other.

Luke’s gaze washes over me again, and I squirm in my seat. I find it disconcerting to be talked about in a language I don’t understand.

He turns back to the man, and the conversation continues on. I keep waiting for someone to start translating into English for me to take notes, but it never happens.

No one touches the sushi, and for some reason, it feels rude to serve myself before someone else begins.

Is the food just a prop?

After about twenty minutes of them talking in Korean, Luke turns to me. “Were you able to take down those sums and dates he mentioned?”

“Umm, no, I don’t … I don’t speak Korean.
