Halfway through the meal, someone suddenly came to visit. This shouldn't count as a big deal, but Gao Yang noticed that Eileen's face turned pale. She instinctively wanted to stand up but hesitated for a moment and eventually sat back down in her chair.
Soon, the sound of footsteps could be heard, followed by someone speaking. Judging by the voices, they were heading toward the dining room.
Out of courtesy, Gao Yang and the others all stood up, while Eileen, as she got up, seemed somewhat dazed and distracted.
A middle-aged man walked in. Gao Yang needed no introduction to recognize who this man was.
Fritz Alberg, Eileen's father, Deputy Director of the German Federal Defense Forces Army, or in simpler terms, the Deputy Commander of the German Army.
Eileen's father's sudden return not only interrupted their lunch but also made the atmosphere turn exceptionally awkward in an instant.
