Soon, Vincent walked into the private dining room with a tray in hand. As he approached the doorway, he caught sight of Mirabella and paused, taken aback by her presence. He hadn't expected to encounter her here.
Mirabella also noticed Vincent and appeared equally surprised.

The steward, who had followed them in, glanced discreetly at Mirabella. Knox had given her his personal token, and yet she casually mentioned ‘meeting a couple of times’ as if it was nothing.
Vincent suddenly remembered the familiar figure he had seen at the family estate stago and blurted out, “You had dinner with my grandfather recently, right?” “Yes, | visited once,” Mirabella acknowledged, though she hadn’t seen Vincent then.
That explained it. Realization crossed Vincent's face, and he beccurious about how she knew his notoriously discerning grandfather.

Only then did Leo look satisfied, taking a small sip before turning back to Vincent, “Do you want the honest truth?” Vincent paused, then nodded.
“It's mediocre. The medicinal taste is too strong, like swallowing a bow! of herbal tonic. All | taste is medicine,” Leo shook his head in critique. His face clearly read: not impressed.
Mirabella took a sip from her bowl and glanced warningly at her brother before addressing Vincent, “Don’t mind him. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about.” Leo was lost for words. There it was, his sister siding with a stranger.
Vincent just smiled, showing no sign of being offended by the criticism.
