Ezra found the situation somewhat awkward. He wasn't very familiar with the man in the hat standing near Hector's seat, though he knew the other two standing next to him. Ezra had crossed paths with them before but had only exchanged brief greetings.
"It's rare to see you, Hector. Do you finally have some time off? Haha, you're usually cooped up inside and only get a few minutes to rest in the dining room."
"Haha, Aldo, my work never ends. I only have one day off today, and tomorrow I'll be back to catching up on all the documents that piled up. Taking a break means twice the work the next day. What about you? What have you been up to lately, Aldo?"
"Not much, I'm just evaluating... so I don't have much on my plate."
"Ah, I'm envious."
"I overheard you mentioning Russian properties... Has anyone secured them yet? How about you, Hector? Any news from Lukas? Are you interested in handling some?"
