There was a white, Mercedes parked out front and the driver was dressed sharply in a tuxedo. Upon seeing us coming, the driver quickly rushed to open the door.
"Good morning Richard," Alessandro greeted in a cheerful tone.
The elderly man bowed, "Good morning Sir."
Alessandro entered the lavish car and I awkwardly walked behind him. The man bowed and greeted me as well and I absentmindedly bowed too as I greeted him.
Richard furrowed his brows and looked at me like I've grown a third eye on my forehead.
I sat beside Alessandro in the car and thought about the driver's reaction to me bowing to him. Was I not supposed to bow in return? I thought we were doing Asian greetings.
My eyes immediately found the passing buildings as the car started moving. I could feel his gaze on me and I really didn't want to meet his eyes or his face.
