The car eventually stopped in front of the hotel where Bert was staying. Out of courtesy, Laurent accompanied him into the lobby to check in, then politely bid him farewell.
"Mr. Soul, I won't keep you any longer. Please rest well, and I'll see you tonight."
That evening, Matthew would host a banquet in Bert's honor, but this wasn't because Bert was special, nor was it because Laurent's client was special. It was a standard practice for all visiting clients to receive this treatment.
When clients first arrived at Burg Eltz, Matthew would host a welcome banquet, and when they left, another banquet would be held to see them off. During their stay, all matters were handled by the salespeople, unless there were issues involving prices or other matters that the salespeople couldn't settle on their own, in which case Matthew would be involved.
Bert smiled warmly and shook her hand.
"Alright, see you tonight."
