Tanya nods at the large man. "Sure thing." She looks at John Chance and Kumiho to see if they needed a ride to the temple. When they shake their heads, Tanya stands and bows low to Baozhai and thanks her in Chinese for her assistance. Taking Calico's arm and motioning for the others to come, Tanya strolls from the private room into the hallway and down the stairs to the main lobby. Along the way she opens a comm to her driver, >>Alphonse. We are leaving the restaurant. Can you please meet us at the entrance. There will be four of us and I have a surprise for you. See you in a few.<<
In the lobby, Tanya leads the others to the check counter where they can pick up anything they might have left there. She spies Luk Chien waiting near the counter and goes to him, bowing low. 你好,陸謙。 同以往一樣,是一個非常高興地在這裡吃晚飯。 並感謝你如此提供baozhai協助吳白布。 我將盡我所能,使我不在短。" The handsome manager smiles and returns the bow and compliment. A young woman comes up to them and waits patiently to be recognized. She is carrying two large picnic-style hampers with her, from which the aroma of food wafts through the air. Tanya looks her way and smiles. "啊,我的命令,我相信呢? 謝謝各位。 阿方斯和莫妮克將會很高興。" The manager and the young woman accompany Tanya and her companions out the door and down the covered walkway to where the Rolls is waiting. The driver's eyes widen as he sees the baskets and reaches to take them from the woman, putting them in the limousine's boot. Tanya chuckles and says, "Alphonse, yours is the one with the orange ribbon. I need to get the other safely to Monique or she will have my guts for garters."
"Of course, Your Ladyship. They will arrive in perfect condition. Celine and I thank you for thinking of us."
The driver moves to open the door as Tanya bids farewell to the smiling Luk Chien. After assisting the passengers into the large car, Alphonse returns to the driver's cab and pulls away from the curb. Tanya asks him to take them out to the temple, giving the address. Inside, the passengers can barely hear the purr of the huge motor as it sends the car to its destination. Tanya points out the refreshment tray. "There are snacks available if anyone has any room left after that wonderful meal. And there is champagne and water in the cooler just over there near your arm, Mr. Chance. The flutes are in the cabinet located just above the cooler. I am afraid those are the choices today."
After everyone is settled into the extremely comfortable leather seats and refreshments are passed out to those who want them, Tanya glances at the others. "OK. I am sure that we will have some sort of team meeting after looking around at the temple. I just want it said up front that I do not fancy myself the leader here by any means. In fact, I much prefer that someone with more group experience than I have take charge. I would like to start off by introducing myself. I am Tanya Marisart and I specialize in getting into places, taking things and getting back out. Usually for a profit. I do not consider myself the best, but I am pretty good." Tanya looks around to see if anyone else volunteers similar information.
Translations:
Hello, Luk Chien. As always it was a great pleasure to dine here. And thank you so much for providing Baozhai to assist Miss Calico. I will do my best to make my absence short.
Ah, my order, I presume? Thank you very much. Alphonse and Monique will be pleased.
