After the conversation in the lab, Victor Shieldman and Mari Dundragon went upstairs to have breakfast with the others.
This time, Victor was less cold when interacting with Luísa Selvarum, which reassured her. After he left the table, he said that he would be gone most of the day and said goodbye to everyone.
As soon as Victor left, Gracela and Bel also left the table and went about their business, leaving only Luísa and Mari. Between them, the atmosphere at the breakfast table was pleasant, with the aroma of food filling the room.
Luísa, with her elegant posture and captivating smile, looked at Mari with genuine interest. After a brief moment of silence, Luísa turned to Mari with a clear curiosity in her smile.
"Mari, what did you say to calm Victor down earlier?" she asked.
Mari, with a spring roll in each corner of her mouth, looked up in surprise at the question. "I didn't say anything," she replied, still chewing before swallowing.
