Saint Just was still several steps away from Anning when he spread his arms wide: "General Frost, Maximilien has asked me to apologize to you on his behalf; he couldn't make it to your dance party today."
Anning was speechless; my relationship with Robespierre is no less intimate than yours, kid. What are you playing at? So, he scoffed and said, "He already told me yesterday during dinner that he wouldn't be coming today."
Saint Just was left awkwardly stuck.
Christina shook her head, probably speechless at Anning's domineering CEO-style socializing.
Meanwhile, Pauline looked curiously at Anning and Saint Just's interaction, probably guessing what kind of relationship the two had.
Saint Just quickly adjusted his expression and said to Anning, "Oh, he did mention it already? Yet, out of courtesy, he still wanted me to convey his apologies to you today."
Anning replied, "I know. Have fun at the party."
