"I know you care about Daniel a lot," Lily said, revealing a cryptic smile. "You're doing all this for Daniel! Where do I
find someone as loyal as you?! Don't worry. I'll reward you handsomely when all is done!"
Amanda's eyes lit up—she was too excited and held Lily's hand.
Lily struggled and shook off her hand. There was despise in her eyes, but she forced a smile.
"I'm glad you realize my effort, Ms. Lily! I didn't do this just for Mr. Quimby but for both of you! The two of you are a
match made in heaven!"
"Yes, yes, yes. Thank you so much!"
"One more thing, Ms. Lily..." Amanda inched closer to her and enunciated, "Maisie should be staying at the Quimby
Hotel. She's in Mr. Quimby's suite!"

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA few days later, Lily and Rachael entered the cafe on the first floor of the Quimby Hotel. They wore dresses, hats,
and sunglasses as they walked slowly into the lobby.
However, Rachael seemed a bit cautious, sticking close to Lily, removing her sunglasses, and looking around every
now and then.
"Can you not behave like a rookie?" Lily said.
"Ms. Lily, I'm just afraid that Maisie will see us!"
"Are you a fool? Does she know what we look like?"
"Um."
Lily shook her head and dragged her to the cafe.
She came here today because she was curious about Maisie. On the one hand, she wanted to know what kind of
woman made Daniel surrender. On the other hand, if they clicked, she would warn her to stay away from Amanda.
"What do we do now, Ms. Lily?" Rachel asked.
"Hmm." Lily frowned.
Amanda had told her that Maisie would be revising or writing at this cafe every morning. But there were so many
people there. She couldn't ask each of them whether they were Maisie, right?
Lily decided to go all out. She stood at the counter and pointed at the coffee on the menu, loudly stating that she
didn't know how to order.
The waiter walked over, and Lily gestured with her hands while speaking Chaisene. She did that until everyone in
the cafe looked at her and Rachael.
The latter covered her face, secretly complaining about why she had such an employer.
Meanwhile, Lily found the clear and pure eyes among the people. Her instinct told her that she was Maisie!
At that moment, Maisie got up and went to the counter. She talked to Lily in Chaisene first and then ordered coffee

The waiter recognized the hotel key card she showed and was respectful toward her.
"There's no available table," Lily said, looking at her. "Can we share a table with you?"
Maisie was sitting at the table closest to the window, an isolated table a distance away from others. It was
surrounded by plants, creating a mini-isolated space.
The waiter was about to stop them but hesitated when Maisie said, "Sure."
"Amazing!" Lily stopped speaking Chaisene out of excitement. She looked at her while smiling. "Will you show us the
way?"
"You..." Maisie was stunned. "You speak Acian?"
Lily chuckled and turned around to give her instructions. "Dark roast beans for my drip coffee. The water
temperature shouldn't exceed 70°C. Also, give me a cookie. The less sugary one!"
"You." Maisie was even more shocked now. "You can order coffee yourself?"
"Yes! Of course, I can."
"Then why did you—"
Lily winked. "If I didn't do that, how could I share a table with you?"
