"I can't imagine a man as busy as you here for casual talk," Kyle said, trying to break the silence as the weight of the moment settled over him. He needed to steer the conversation in a direction that would reveal more about Nakamura's intentions, but a thought lingered in his mind: was it the way he was dressed that led them to believe he was merely a representative? The crisp suit he wore, while stylish and well-tailored, felt like it could be interpreted as business casual by those unfamiliar with him.
The truth, however, was that it wasn't his outfit but his age that had likely misled them. His youthful appearance, though polished, was the only thing people seemed to focus on. It was difficult for them to fathom someone of his age—especially someone in his position—carrying the weight of such a significant decision. But Kyle had made it this far on his own merits, and he wasn't about to let anyone underestimate him because of his appearance or his age.
