“Good Day Ma'am. You sent for me,” a certain firm male voice with embodied shoulders, 6 '1'' fit, well-bearded responded beside the parted door.
“Meet our newest Internship staff or whatever he calls himself.”
“Do have him settled immediately. I wouldn't hesitate to send him back to where he's from if I find him lazing around,” The HR vehemently instructed whilst unleashing a slight glare at Raphael who seemed calculative, smirking in his heart.
“I'm Pierre, the assistant logistics manager. Welcome to The Lion Winery Industries. Were among the best first 10 winery companies in France.”
“Please. Kindly ignore every unsettled word you just heard from Mrs. Elise,” he politely introduced himself whilst striving to make Raphael feel a bit comfortable.
Raphael parted a soft chuckle across his cheeks. That was the first genuine smile since he stepped foot into his grandfather's company.
Every staff he's met has been condescending right from the receptionists on the basement floor to The HR who received him with disgust. Finally, he's met a human who has changed the narratives. Only if they knew who he was.
“Thank you… I'm…” Raphael was about to spill out his real name when he remembered his mission and the Senior butler's last-minute plan. “I'm Chevalier,” he said calmly.
Pierre reached out to him with a handshake and patted his shoulder in a welcoming gesture.
“Please do follow me and I'll show you what you need to know okay,” he said, still maintaining his politeness. Raphael followed him without further ado.
He brought out a book and pen from his bag to jot down every piece of word that would escape from Pierre's lips.
He wasn't bluffing when he initiated the disguise plan to learn about The Lion Winery business.
Pierre started by showing him the administrative department and its staff and how they meticulously handled the bookkeeping of the winery businesses.
The staff there seemed welcoming rather to the receptionists on the basement floor. A good number of the staff handshake him and introduce themselves by their ranks.
Raphael nodded his head in delight and introduced himself as well.
‘They didn't treat me like a nobody even when they knew I was merely an intern? Nice one…’ he muttered to himself as they exited the administrative bloc.
Pierre didn't hesitate to take him to the third floor where the magic all happened. “The production department,” Raphael's eyes widened as he beheld a larger number of serious individuals who were making more champagnes and were nicely placed according to their specialization.
“For starters. We produce different flavors of champagne with the use of several grapes,” Pierre mouthed as he turned to face Raphael who had already jotted down what he'd said.
Pierre beamed in response at how fast and articulate Raphael was with every detail.
“Chevalier, please meet one of the junior production managers, Miss Celine. Miss Celine, please meet our newest Internship staff,” Pierre acknowledged, still divulging a cheerful smile across his cheeks.
“It's an honor, Sir,” Celine quickly greeted Raphael, tilting her head in respect.
Raphael nodded his head with a smile and handshakes her. ‘She called me Sir? Who's she?’ Raphael asked himself whilst entangling his hand from hers but he couldn't help but acknowledge her sense of humor.
Would it be pretty early to presume that Raphael has already found himself two buddies, huh?
“We have different types of champagne but The Lion Industries pay meticulous attention to just a few: Sparkling wine, Champagne Rose, Demi-sec, Blanc de Noirs, Blanc de blanc, and the Brut,” Miss Celine calmly informed Raphael who was jolting down every detail. His right hand was so swift in writing. Celine and Pierre stared at each other and nodded in delight.
Raphael breathed out, he rolled his eyes towards a popped-in question in his gut. “Seems like you've got questions?” Celine quickly inquired as she perceived the slightly confused state of the newest intern.
“Yes. Please I do,” he briefly responded, staring at how zealous the staff were mixing the sparkling wine, grapes, and other fruits to ensure they achieved perfection in the ongoing winery productions.
“Why do we only produce these aforementioned champagne? Why not all types of champagnes?” he boldly asked, holding firm to his pen to grasp the next set of words that Celine would utter.
“Good question, Chevalier. Unlike other production companies that purchase different fruits and grapes to make their distinguished wines. We, The Lion Winery Industries, have our vineyard where we farm and harvest different fruits and grapes and also cultivate to sell to big winery companies. That's why we're among the first 10 best winery companies in France.”
She took a deep breath before continuing. “Despite different grapes and fruits that we produce, after several attempts to produce some unique flavors pertinent to our brand. We seemed much more comfortable with those aforementioned types of champagne than others. We found our feet where it's fitted and strong for massive business,” she explicitly explained to him in the best possible ways that a layman would understand.
Raphael couldn't help but beam in pleasure. Pierre handshake Celine for being so keen in educating Raphael thus far on what he needs to know.
Without any doubt, Raphael felt undoubtedly comfortable around them like they'd known for a longer time.
“Why are you all standing like morons!" A certain voice screamed from behind.

It's family time!“Yes, I do, dear brother…”“I know none of my words would change the past and the evil I've done to you, which led to the death of your mother, banishment, and many others, including sleeping with your ex-wife,” he spilled those hard words out.
