All this showed that the private room was not for ordinary people.
After Quentin, Shania, Anne, Boneng, and Adrian sat on the brown couch, the female attendant who followed them inside smiled and said, “Mayor Lewis, there are staff outside who can help you if you need anything, or you can just contact me. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first…”
“Okay, I’ll leave you to your work.” Quentin nodded with a smile.
After the female attendant left, Boneng asked curiously, “Mayor Lewis, the woman earlier…”
“She’s Celine James, the owner of New Era Cinema,” Quentin replied.
Boneng was immediately impressed!
Anne was a little surprised. He thought the woman was an attendant. He did not expect her to be the owner of the cinema.
It was not easy for a woman to own such a grand cinema. It was because this was not Dragon Kingdom but the City-State Union.
In the chaotic City-State Union, the idea that women were inferior to men was deeply rooted in the people’s minds. It was difficult for women to make it here.
The female owner named Celine looked like she was in her late 20s, but she had already such an accomplishment. She was indeed tough.
The movie began to play.
However, the only people interested in the movie were the two girls, Adrian and Shania.
Neither Quentin, Boneng, nor Anne had any interest in what was going on in the movie. They were not there to watch the movie.
“Commander Edgar and Mr. Townsend, I’m sorry for what the captain of my personal guard, Tobias, did earlier…” Quentin spoke first.
