Is there an interpret?

Meetings after meetings. No routine but after the second presentation, you know much better what to expect. I expect incomprehension. Business cards exchange. I come last. My card doesn't look as those from my clients, because I don't belong. I tell my name, I tell my role. We sit down. when I have my notebook and gears out of my bag, the senior individual on their side inquires aloud : "where is the interpreter?"
