Hearing Sophie's Japanese, Mr. Miyata's eyes lit up. "Miss Davis speaks excellent Japanese," he said in Japanese. "Where did you learn it?"
Mr. Miyata was the vice president of the Japanese consortium on this visit. However, since arriving in Britain, he had been dissatisfied with the service at various hotels. The language, food, and even cultural differences were far too great.
As the youngest Client Director at the Regent Hotel, Sophie had put in tremendous effort over the past ten years.
What she was most proud of was that she had self-taught Japanese while in America. She had spent the most time practicing the most formal honorifics, because Japanese people placed great importance on linguistic politeness. Using the correct honorifics was equivalent to opening half the door.
"I self-studied it for a while in America," Sophie replied with a smile. "Please feel free to correct me if I make any mistakes, Mr. Miyata."
