You can tell me," Antonia said with a chuckle, now turning to face him."Well," Christian moved a bit forward, resting his right palm on the counter."You know, about the get-together coming up, with all other CEOs?..""Yeah, the 'big event'" Antonia mimicked with a laugh."Everyone's been talking about it, of course I do, and I know you're going to be there too... right? or not since you don't like events like that, but you have to, it's a good course to win over deals, don't you think?"
