After Alex left the Guild headquarter he decided to visit his restaurant whose name had been changed to Golden's Spoon. Well, it lacks originality but it was the name they came up with after a long discussion.
Maria was left in the charge of the restaurant as Alex didn't have time nor knowledge concerning how to deal with it. Her family seems to possess few restaurants to help them deal with the illegal stuff more easily.
Just as Alex was about to enter his restaurant he stopped right in his track because walking in the opposite direction of the restaurant was Lilith. She was walking alone seemed lost in thoughts.
Suddenly, she seemed to have sensed that someone was looking at her, lifting her head she turned it in Alex's direction for her eyes to widen in surprise as she didn't expect to encounter Alex here.
