As they walked through the corridors, the whispers and curious glances continued. Vaughn and Daniel's conversation was relaxed, but the undercurrent of corporate curiosity buzzed around them.
"Where are we heading?" Daniel asked as they exited the building and moved toward the sleek black car parked at the front.
"A place I think you'll enjoy," Vaughn replied cryptically, unlocking the car.
They got in, and Vaughn smoothly pulled out into the busy city traffic.
The drive was filled with comfortable silence, only occasionally broken by Daniel's questions about the city and Vaughn's concise but informative answers.
Vaughn took a turn into a quieter, more upscale neighborhood, finally stopping in front of an elegant restaurant with a modern facade and a valet service.
As they stepped out, the valet greeted Vaughn with familiarity, taking the keys with a respectful nod. "Enjoy your lunch, Mr. Vaughn."
