"She still has a lot to learn," he thought.
Selina also stood from her seat as Reaves wanted to take his leave, "It would be my honor to escort you out." she said gracefully.
"Selina, I understand your good intentions but you don't need to escort me, I know my way from here."
Reaves, displaying a keen sense of diplomacy, appreciated Selina's thought of seeing him off but he interrupted her. He turned around and looked at her, he said. "Selina, my dear, I appreciate your hospitality, but perhaps it would be wise not to give Mary too hard a time. After all, we are the elite of Castra City, and a win-win situation is always more favorable than a lose-lose."
Selina was momentarily caught off guard by Reaves' unexpected intervention, she couldn't help but consider his words carefully. His insight struck a chord, reminding her that navigating the intricate social landscape of the city required finesse rather than brute force.
