A Graduation Gift novel Chapter 120

The dining room was luxurious. It made Cassandra feel as if she were back in the Middle Ages.

The steak was perfect. Cassandra was so impressed and she had to express it.

"Auntie, the chef you hired is incredible. This is the best steak I've ever tasted!"

she said before taking another bite.

Whitney couldn't help but smile when she saw that Cassandra enjoyed her meal so much.

"Courtney will not eat food cooked by anyone else," Whitney said.

This surprised Cassandra. She did not expect Courtney to be so picky. Then again, a picture of her cold face came back to her and Cassandra realized that it was, indeed, highly likely.

"Is Courtney sick? She didn't come down for dinner,"

Cassandra asked. To be honest, it would have made her feel better if she found out that the girl were just feeling unwell.

"Courtney… likes to eat in her bedroom,"

Whitney replied with sorrow in her eyes. Talking about her daughter seemed to bring her pain. Cassandra felt as if she wanted to tell her many things, but was working hard not to.

A part of Cassandra wanted to bring up the business deal—the initial reason for she visit.

After much thought, she decided that it was best not to ruin the trust that Whitney had given her by bringing up something she explicitly said she did not want to talk about.

She would have to be patient. Besides, she doubted that the Tang Group knew where Whitney's place was. As of now, she had an advantage.

Cassandra bid Whitney goodbye after dinner and waited for her ride back to the hotel. Suddenly, she received a call that the driver would not be able to come and get her.

"Stay the night. I'll ask the servant to prepare a room for you,"

Whitney offered. Then, she asked one of her helpers to clean the guestroom.

A stranger to Norway, Cassandra accepted the offer. She did not really have much alternatives.

She stayed in a room on the third floor, in the middle of a corridor.

Upon opening the door, she gasped, covering her mouth with her hands.

It looked like the princess bedroom every little girl dreamed of having.

The bed was European style with a frame carved with delicate patterns. The dresser next to it was decorated with flowers. It was so nice to look at. Even more so, to sleep in.

"Do all the guest rooms here look like this?"

Cassandra asked the butler in disbelief. She could not believe what she was seeing.

"Yes, they are all designed to look like rooms for princesses, but they all look different from each other,"

the butler replied.

"Oh, may I peek at the other rooms?:

Cassandra asked the butler. She was so curious. These guest rooms looked even more luxurious than the hotels she stayed in. Whitney must have invested a lot of time and money decorating these rooms.

The butler agreed and led her to the other rooms. True enough, they all shared a general theme but had different color schemes and furniture pieces.

Some were painted yellow and purple while others were painted blue and pink. There was one particular room that left a deep impression on Cassandra. It was designed with a Gothic style, all black with a few white accents.

Every piece of furniture and decor in each of the rooms were distinct and unique.

Cassandra felt on top of the world. It was inspiring to see someone make so much effort designing such beautiful rooms.

"Who stays in the guest rooms on regular days?"

Cassandra inquired. It felt like such a waste if the rooms were left unused.

"They are left unused, actually. But Courtney can choose to stay in one of them, if she wishes. These are actually more like Courtney's bedrooms than guest rooms,"

the butler answered.

Cassandra didn't know what to say. She was envious.

After all, Courtney was born in a wealthy family. She could afford it.

Despite Courtney's cold facade, her mother seemed to believe that she had a childlike heart. This must have been why she built this palace for her.

Cassandra returned to her room which was a room painted with pink and white. Looking around, Cassandra felt somewhat upset.
