Sidney and Diana, along with a few others, were seated at a nearby table, eating. Sidney was sitting sideways, facing away from Maria, so while she noticed him instantly, he hadn't spotted her. Maria quickly averted her gaze after a brief glance.

"Let's sit over there," Tiana said, linking arms with Maria and leading her toward a window seat.

Coincidentally, the spot was diagonally across from Sidney's table.

Maria nodded and followed.

Once seated, Tiana quickly pulled Herman over to sit next to Maria.

Whether by coincidence or design, Herman's presence perfectly blocked Sidney's view. Even if he turned to look, it was unlikely he would notice Maria.

Maria's eyes flickered briefly, but she didn't say a word.

Tiana took the seat opposite them and waved for a waiter. This place offered both a buffet and table service.

Tiana ordered a few dishes and then turned to Maria. "What would you like?"
