# Book Description
Viviane's internship with Mr. B is not what she expected.
Instead of an office, she spends her evenings attending local dinners, fundraisers, and community events, quietly noting who is present and how they behave. Mr. B rarely explains why any of it matters. He only asks her to pay attention.
Julian, another young man working for him, seems more familiar with the arrangement. He knows which rooms are off-limits, which names carry influence, and when an ordinary conversation is not as harmless as it sounds.
At first, Viviane notices only small things: repeated guests, missing place settings, private exchanges, and people who leave without saying goodbye. Then the patterns begin to connect.
In a town built on familiarity, everyone knows one another.
Or at least, they believe they do.
