Once Lily arrived at the agreed-upon location, she discovered that it was a relatively high-end clubhouse that was carefully maintained. Once she mentioned her name, someone led her upstairs.
Although it was not a private room, the entire second floor was empty. The restaurant was surrounded by glass windows, giving the restaurant a unique and romantic look. People were playing the violins. Melodious music filled her ears, making her feel very relaxed.
"Lilsy!" Lisa called out, waving in Lily’s direction.
Even if Lisa had not called out, Lily would have spotted her. After all, other than the waiter, Lisa was the only one on the whole floor.
"Lisa!" Lily greeted her and walked over to hug Lisa.
When the two let go, Lisa explained smilingly, "Mr. Corden has something to attend to and will run a little late. He asked me to apologize to you on his behalf."
"It's fine," Lily said with a smile. "Honestly, there's no need for him to do all this. He already thanked me for the other day."
"It's not about that. This is something he should do." Lisa shook her head. "You don't know Mike Corden's position among the Hyderland people. You saved his son. If he didn't thank you personally, it would look bad on him when word gets out."
Lily kept quiet. Reputation was such a complicated thing.
"By the way, is the child all right?" Lily asked. Although he should be fine, she still wanted to ask for her peace of mind.
Lisa nodded. "It's all thanks to you. I was panicking at that time. I had no clue what was happening to Nick. I was nearly scared to death. Thank god you were there. If something happened to Nick, Mike would hate me."
