Capone didn't return to the hotel until late. He hadn't completely lied—today's IDGM Hokkaido branch had an important meeting that required his attendance.
No matter how hard he tried to stay by Sophia and Laura's side, there were always many official duties that he couldn't personally oversee. As a result, they piled up, and he had to find time to handle them.
When he got too busy, he always neglected meals, especially when Sophia wasn't around to remind him. He often only remembered to eat when his stomach started growling or aching.
Fortunately, he had a thoughtful secretary. Antony had returned to the hotel ahead of him and had ordered food from the hotel's Chinese restaurant, bringing it to his room.
