lips.

"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!"

Compared to Lily's appetite, Rachael outdid her!

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—"
"What are you afraid of?" Lily raised her eyebrows.
"That it'll have a bad influence on the company!"
"So." Lily said calmly, "The Quimby Group's business is bad now?"
"Well, it's good."
"So where's the bad influence?"
Amanda was rendered speechless.
"You don't have to worry about that, Ms. Amanda," Lily said. "Daniel is a man of finesse. He won't lose his mind to
love. Also, you don't work at the Quimby Group. Why are you worried about them?! He's not paying your salary!"
"Um." Amanda was dumbstruck. It was completely different from what she had imagined!

doing my job to be concerned about him. It's for Cumulus City!"
"Oh." Lily nodded. "So tell me, what exactly is going on with Daniel and that woman?"
Amanda pursed her lips before telling everything that had transpired between Daniel and Maisie, including her
losing her memory. She recounted everything from the past until now.
She was in the zone as she told the story while Lily was tasting wine nad food and playing on her phone. She
ignored her completely.

"Oh. Oh?" Only then did she look away from her phone. "Hmm, that's right! I should!"
"So you agree, Ms. Lily?"
Lily chuckled. "What were you saying?"
