Riku widened his eyes, disbelief written all over his face. "You found her?"
"I did." He nodded before looking at Lily. "Lily, this is Riku Ito, he is the manager of this resort and a very good friend of mine," he said in English, with a neutral accent.
"Hi, nice to meet you," Riku said in his Japanese-accented English. "I have heard a lot of things about you."
"Hi, call me Lily," she said while giving Riku a polite smile. Lily didn't miss what Riku said earlier. Could it be that Zhuo Jingren went looking for her when she disappeared seven years ago? Or why would Riku have heard things about her?
"Wow," Riku said in Japanese. "This is… unbelievable. However, I did not expect that she…"
"Onii-sama." A gentle voice cut off Riku's words, causing everyone to turn their heads. A lady, wearing a purple kimono was approaching them. Her face was almost identical to Riku's and she had a bright and beautiful smile on her face.
