It seemed she knew quite a bit about Josiah.

Lysander admitted. “Did you need something from me?”

Your name is Amelia Scott, right?”

Amelia took the initiative and began, “If we’re being exact, our first meeting was actually at the karaoke lounge. However, the circumstances then weren’t quite ideal. Perhaps, it’s best if we forget about that. Let’s just pretend that today is the first time we’ve met,
