Chapter 55 invite
London, October 30, 1901
When the circus arrived in London, although Celia.Bowen wanted to go right away to Marco's apartment, the address was printed on the business card she carried with her.But she went to the Midland Hotel instead.
She didn't ask anything at the counter.
She didn't speak to anyone.
She stands in the middle of the hall.Employees and guests passed by her, ready to go elsewhere, appointments or other impromptu stops, and she was completely unnoticed.
She was as still as a circus sculpture. After standing back and forth for more than an hour, the man in the gray suit walked towards her.
He listened unresponsively as she spoke, and nodded when she finished.
She made a perfect curtsy and turned away.
The man in the gray suit stood alone, unnoticed, and stopped in the lobby for a long time.
