Deny all you want, but technology era is here. Direct meeting can be exhausting--- especially when your office is packed with celebrities. By mentioning 'celebrities', it does not literally mean as is--- though Louise can be grouped into literal celeb. Rather, it was because Pravnich Law Office is led by highly regarded lawyers as its Chiefs and Deputies. You got Emperor, Ruler, Goddess of War, Pretty Orator, Fearless Spear, Amethyst, God of Sun and Moon, and the Fairy God Father. Such a star-studded line-up. With someone as busy as Emperor, he could barely have time to attend regular meeting even to take care of himself. Not to mention the fact that their Director is never seen in-officio. He gives his direction through Nobume--- his secretary, or simply sending direct order through mailing list or chatting application to the appointed Chief, Deputy, or person of his choice.
Thus, it is not uncommon when regular Chief and Deputy meeting is held online. Their conference system supported direct multi-language interpretation and translation. Hence, any language barrier is no brainer at all.
One of their first online meeting went down like this:
***
(Louise [LS], Amon [AT], Nobume [NH], and Charlie [CL] were in the office's meeting room with Nobume as the host. Freya [FG], Shing [SG], Cheyenne [CZ], and Geerta [GE] were on business trip. Mstislav [MG] and their Director's [D] whereabout were unknown.)

LS: [activated her camera and testing the mic] "Testing... Testing... Check 1, 2, 3. Is my voice clear enough?"
SG: [driving, handsfree, using side dashcam.] "Yes,"
AT: [helping Louise who has technical difficulty, appeared in her camera] "You can shift or turn up and down the volume of your input and output here."
LS: "Ooh... got it..."
NH: [sitting in the far end facing Louise, did not turn on her mic, but her voice was getting through Louise's] "違う [no], no need to use the voice output since we are in the same room, we will be using this room's sound system."
LS: "HEEEELLLLLOOOOOOOO?????!!!"
SG: "FUCKING HELL! SHUT UP! YES, WE CAN HEAR YOU!"
FG: "you can, but for some reason, they can't."

***LOUD, BUZZING FEEDBACK***
SG: "AAARRRGGGHHH... WHAT THE HELL! WHOEVER IN THE SAME ROOM, TURN OFF THAT FUCKING MIC!"
GE: [just entered after meeting with her client, lying on a hotel bed still in her full suit] "THAT'S NOT MINE!"
SG: "I DIDN'T TALK TO YOU, WILD BOAR!" [gave middle finger]
FG: [turned on her camera. She was in airport's waiting room. Portrait camera using her phone, plugging headset.] "Guys, guys..."
GE: "FUCK OFF!" [gave middle finger back to Shing]
FG: [rolled her eyes, totally getting ignored.]
LS: "Hello? Hello?"
***LOUD, BUZZING FEEDBACK***
SG: "URRGHHH... Fucking feedback!!!"
AT: [wore wireless headset, hence, he knew about the feedback and voice output error. Rushed to his laptop that was next to Louise's] "Ah آسف [sorry], that's mine," [turned his mic off]
