"Yes, my husband went out yesterday to visit a friend. But unfortunately, the friend was not at home. I suppose that must be you?"
"Yes, madam, you can call me Karen."
"Come in, please."
Linda opened the yard door and invited Karen to come in.
Karen handed Linda the box of exquisite macarons.
He had chosen them from the snack shop. It was the highest quality in the store, costing 500 rubles per box.
The shop assistant also gifted some small cakes, which Karen gave to the driver, not caring if it was the driver's birthday today as he didn't like to eat overly sweet things.
Spending 500 rubles on a box of pastries was indeed a bit extravagant, but considering the good financial situation of the family he was visiting, the corresponding gift could not be too shabby.
He can't bring a big bag of 50-ruble egg cakes to visit Mr. Piaget.
After all, they had once paid him a consultation fee of 20,000 rubles.
