Chapter 137: Of Yogurt Panna Cotta and Berries Compote
Ruediger wasn’t aware of how sleepless Nathaniel’s night was. He woke up the next morning in a happier mood, considering how well the previous night’s dinner was.
But, Ruediger’s joy faded slightly as he wondered what would happen in the afternoon later.
Lariette invited Declan and Rafael to join them having lunch with Chairman Delaney. Ruediger believed whatever the two men had to say, it might be unpleasant.
’Anyway, Declan is capable. I’ll take over if he screws up.’
Ruediger initially entertained the idea of having his men discreetly follow Declan’s subordinates during the investigation. He dismissed the thought after weighing it further.
Thus, Ruediger had been silently waiting for the day Declan came forward with the investigation results. His wait most likely would end this afternoon.
Lariette and Ruediger planned to go early to Chairman Delaney’s residence. They wanted to spend some time with the elderly man before lunchtime arrived.
"I can’t wait to have it again."
Lariette’s remark elicited laughter from Ruediger as he drove the truck down the expressway. Briefly turning to look at her, he smiled in helplessness.
"You already had one this morning," Ruediger teasingly reminded Lariette, his focus returned to the road ahead, "There are some in the fridge too."
"One isn’t enough," replied Lariette as if stating a very truthful fact. Her response made Ruediger laugh more.
