How goes dinner?

Meeting Bernard

Finding the table they were suppose to sit at, the two venture in it's direction, passing by so many other scientists, speakers and news reporters all the while doing what they could to stay under the radar. Truthfully, many heads were turning as the pair walked by, mainly due to how spectacular Tricia looked but a few woman also got their eyes adverted when they saw how handsome Kasper was looking. As the two got to their table, staying true to his gentlemen-like appearance, Kasper grips the back of the chair and holds it out, allowing Tricia to seat herself before he pushes it in for her, "Thank you my love." Tricia smiles at the boy as Kasper sits down next to her at the table.

As he does, he finally takes another deep breath before looking at the couple who was sitting across the table, according to the mission dossier he read earlier, that person would be none other than Bernard Ellington which would make the woman with brunette hair tied back in a bun next to him most likely his wife, Michelle Ellington. "Hello Bernard!" Kasper immediately replies, acting like he's finally seeing a long lost friend, "U-Uhh, I mean, you must be Bernard?!" he swallows as he notices the man has a somewhat nervous look in his eyes.

"What my love is trying to say is..." Tricia rests the palm of her hand onto Kasper's own, "We saw the seating arrangements and noticed your name, figure you must be Bernard and Michelle?" Tricia asks.

"Yes ma'am." Bernard replies, "Pleasure to meet you!" he reaches his hand across the table to give a shake.

"Way to almost blow cover immediately you doofus!" Kassandra giggles out through the comms. "S-Sorry, not professional." she stops her voice immediately.

Pleasantries go around the table as Kasper, Tricia, Bernard and Michelle start to talk to one another, trading their stories about their lives, jobs and favorite activities. For the most part, everything Bernard and Michelle talk about, the team already know all the personal details about them but they do what they can to act surprised and curious.

After about twenty minutes of conversation, Bernard eventually reaches into his pocket and pulls out his cell phone. His eyes snap to it as his finger starts to almost dance around the screen, "Ugh, always work even when not working." he shakes his head and groans out.

"Bernie..." his wife says to his side as she grips the cell phone from his hands, "Let's try to enjoy the conference, yes?" she gives him a stern look as she sets the cell phone face down on the table between them.

"Sorry Chelly." he forces a smile before he pushes himself back from the table, "If you'll excuse me, the restroom is calling." he nods at everybody around the table before standing up, leaving behind his wife and most importantly his cell phone as he goes to wash up.

Are they able to take advantage of the cell phone left behind, even though his wife is right there?
