At that moment, Lily looked up and saw the shock in Amanda's eyes.
"H-Hi, Ms. Lily!" Amanda forced a smile while greeting her. Simultaneously, she noticed sauce at the corner of Lily's lips.
Lily swiftly grabbed a napkin to wipe her mouth, then set down the salmon, regaining her elegance.
"You must be Ms. Amanda," Lily said with charisma. "We met many years ago. I remember you were just a journalist back then…"
"That's right!" Amanda quickly responded. "I remember you were… Mrs. Quimby back then!"
Lily's facial expression changed slightly, and she didn't continue the conversation.
The assistant, Rachael, intervened, ushering Amanda to a seat and recommending the restaurant's delicious dishes.
Amanda also noticed the table before Rachael.
Compared to Lily's appetite, Rachael outdid her!
They could really eat, ordering the most special and expensive dishes, some being today's specials with an extra charge.
"Don't just sit there, Ms. Amanda! Start eating!" Rachael said, "The buffet section has great salmon slices and lobsters, but Ms. Lily and I prefer foie gras and caviar…"
Amanda took a deep breath. Compared to them, she seemed more like the guest.
"Loosen up, Ms. Amanda." Lily smiled. "I know you came with an agenda to buy us lunch today. Just give it to me!"
"Ms. Lily, I…" She paused. "I'll just say it. In reality, I've been thinking about you after all these years. I thought what happened between you and Mr. Quimby is sad. Only you are worthy of being the Quimbys' Madam Quimby!"
Lily remained calm, cutting the foie gras in front of her.
"But did you know there was a vixen when you were away… He threw himself at her. If this goes on, I'm afraid—"
