Following the coordinates, she soon reached her destination-a stylish restaurant that stood out amidst the surrounding skyscrapers with its industrial decor, exuding a distinct charm.
Upon entering, a waiter guided her inside, leading her through a corridor to the basement. It was there that she discovered a totally different place.
"Miss Swann, your reserved private room is right here. Your guest is already waiting inside," the waiter informed her.

The spacious room contained only one person, quietly perusing the menu at the dining table. After she entered, the person didn't even look up, but softly said, "Miss Swann, please have a seat." Catherine pulled out a chair and sat across from the man.
"Miss Swann, any dietary restrictions? "he politely inquired.
Catherine looked at him and sneered. " Don't you even know my dietary restrictions?" The man seemed taken aback, apparently not expecting Catherine to say that. “Miss Swann, what do you mean? It's our first meeting. How could I possibly know if you have any dietary restrictions?" he asked.

If you're willing, Miss Swann, we can not only be business partners but also good friends!" Catherine observed him with narrowed eyes. "Being friends with you comes at a high price!" she remarked.
Cloude, also known as Black Robe, was revealing his identity for the first time, deeming Catherine's unique nature worthy of sharing his name. "Miss Swann, I assure you that being friends withwill not leave you at a loss.
