Lillian was not alone. She was accompanied by a woman in her thirties.
Hezti and Marsha also knew the woman, having met her at Ronald’s house. She was Mila Martinez, Ronald’s concubine.
Mila was a unique name. The name had the distinctive style of the City-State Union, but Mila was not a pure local. She had Dragon Kingdom blood flowing in her.
“It’s you…” Hezti’s reaction was indifferent.
He gave them a slight nod and prepared to continue eating his fondue with Marsha.
However, Lillian came arm-in-arm with Mila and stood before them.
“I didn’t expect to see you here, Mr. Lennon and Mr. Young… You don’t mind me calling you that, do you?” Lillian asked, excited but worried.
After all, Hezti was the city defense army’s commander-in- chief. He had the highest position in the city. Only the mayor Quentin could match him. Therefore, Lillian was afraid that anything she said or did would upset this ‘big shot’.
However, Hezti did not mind her calling him that. He just found the woman a little annoying.
“Not at all,” Hezti said, forcing a smile.
Marsha looked at Mila and asked, “Mrs. Townsend, are you and your daughter here for fondue?”
“Yeah, yes, but I didn’t expect to run into you two,” Mila replied with a nod.
Just then, a waiter walked over.
“Excuse me. We‘re full now. Why don’t you wait in the waiting area for a while?”
Lillian and Mila looked embarrassed the moment the waitress finished speaking.
