Scene: Inside The Agreste Car.

While Gorilla is driving, Nathalie and Gabriel are seated in the back.

"I'm not sure about this, Gabriel," Nathalie said, breaking the silence.

"What are you talking about?" Gabriel rose an eyebrow at her.

"You know perfectly well what I'm talking about," Nathalie retorts. "Are you really going to go behind Ms. Tsurugi's back and do this? You and her have an agreement, now you want to break it because you find out that Kalianna's royalty?"

"Making this alliance with the De-Sinclairs will ensure Adrien's future. If he marries Kalianna, he'll be married into royalty, and that's something Tsurugi-san can't provide for me." Gabriel explains.

"Ms. Tsurugi will be furious," Nathalie warns.

"She won't be able to do anything about it once the deed is done," Gabriel retaliates, glancing down at a silver briefcase with the Gabriel brand logo.

Scene: The De-Sinclair Chateau.

Vanita opens the door, greeting Gabriel and Nathalie with a warm smile. "Mr. Agreste, hello,"

"Good afternoon, Mrs. De-Sinclair, this is my executive assistant, Nathalie Sancoeur," Gabriel gestures to the woman beside him.

Nathalie, who is now holding the briefcase, nods at Vanita.

"It's nice to see you, Nathalie, please, come in. My husband is in his office waiting," Vanita allowed the two to enter.

Gabriel discreetly looks around the foyer and spots a landscape frame of a young Regina De-Sinclair with her husband Masaru. "Who are those people in the landscape painting?" He asked Vanita.

"That's Darius's parents when they were young, come, follow me," Vanita walks away.

Gabriel smirks slightly at the landscape painting before following Vanita with Nathalie.

"This is a terrible idea," Nathalie quietly warns him.

"We'll see about that," Gabriel responds nonchalantly.
