Eleanor immediately looked up. “What?”
Eliza pointed ahead. “A group of prople just walked by. The one leading them looked like Mr. Whitman.”
Eleanor glanced over but only caught a glimpse of the hem of a suit jacket from the last person in the group. She didn’t see Sebastian.
Looking around, she said, “He’s supposed to be on a business trip. Could it really be such a coincidence?”
The receptionist brought over two cups of coffee. “Please, have some coffee while you wait”
Eleanor thanked her, then casually asked, “Were the people who just passed by also from stone City?”
“No, they’re from Wavenport City,” replied the receptionist

Eliza pulled a face “Do we have to? I heard Crystal Glaze Fish is like the Anglorian version of Mariner’s Pie. It’s a complete disaster.”
Eleanor disagreed. Since they were already here, they might as well just try, even though it could be terrible,
