"Thank you for letting me on board your ship, ma'am. Please, in what way may I be of service?"
With a polite smile on his face and his head slightly bowed, Alejandro spoke these words to the blonde woman before him. He made sure to keep his head down to avoid eye contact with her and cause any provocation.
Reviewing everything he had done so far and ensuring there was no mistake, Alejandro waited for the blond-haired woman's reply, but seconds went by, and there was no word.
"Hrm, hrm,... apologies, she doesn't like speaking to strangers." The voice of the black-haired man whom Alejandro had ignored came from behind him.
Hearing the man's words, Alejandro waited a few seconds more, and when it was clear he wasn't going to get a reply from the woman, he lifted his head.
Alejandro felt angry and embarrassed inside but portrayed a smile of understanding on the outside.
