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.
One would be locked up until death. Besides that, it was not just ordinary detention. One had to do manual labor every day!
It was unlike Dragon Kingdom, where it was only life imprisonment in name, but was actually only 25 years, and one could get a reduced sentence for good behavior. At least the City-State Union’s punishment was far more severe than Dragon Kingdom.
Boneng was pleased with the result, of course.
He nodded and said, “Thank you, Mayor Lewis. Frederic has told me that he has retrieved the antiques Tobias took. Besides that, he also got a nice compensation. Mayor Lewis, this is all thanks to you. Here’s a toast to you!”
With that said, Boneng picked up the coffee cup in front of him.
After picking up the coffee cup, Boneng realized this was not a restaurant and what he picked up was not wine, so he quickly corrected himself. “Let’s use coffee instead of wine. Hahaha…”
Quentin nodded before taking a sip of his coffee.
