By the end of his sentence, he was grinning like a cat that had just swiped a fish from the dog's bowl.

Xavier chuckled, clearly pleased. "Let's go together, alright? I need to inform the director too."
"Okay..." Hera smiled sweetly at Xavier before returning to her meal. Seeing how easily Hera agreed to go with Xavier, Rafael decided not to push the matter further.
