Quantin gently shakes his head.

" No, I haven't taken the step of marriage yet. However, I have a son named Ethan. "

" His mother and I have never succumbed to marital union," he adds with a touch of melancholy.

"Ah, I understand," Kapoor nods with a hint of understanding in his eyes.

" You are still young and enjoy well-deserved success. It would be quite regrettable for such a charming and powerful man like you to remain in a state of celibacy ! " Kapoor exclaims with a touch of elegance.

Quantin replies with exquisite politeness, accompanied by a smile.

I don't like to see this individual here when I come to this canteen. It makes me want to vomit," the young man said, pointing to Quantin. His name is Harvey and he is talking to one of his friends."

" Quantin asked again after a few seconds of silence.Harvey sneered and then reacted." You haven't cleaned my shoes yet," he says mockingly, and his friends laugh too." That's enough Harvey.
