In between waxing lyrical about the joys of Italian sports cars, we enjoy excellent Persian food. Neither of us have the first idea about Iranian cuisine, so we defer to the chef on the choice of dishes. What he prepares is anyone's guess, but there's very little left on either plate, so it must be up to scratch. Giovanni enjoys doing business over lunch, but he makes a conscious effort not to abuse the privilege. In the US, it's crazy.
People do go over the top.
And sometimes there aren't enough hours in the day, so you have to work over lunch. Despite the glamorous job title, constant international travel, multi-million dollar budgets and a client list which boasts royalty and celebrities on opposite sides of the globe, Giovanni's feet are very much on the ground. Of course I like to drive a Ferrari. I do so whenever I can. But I love to spend an evening at home with my daughter.
