Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 640

His words made Heather all the more curious to have a look. I’m definitely going to take a look at The Fifth Season! Just then, she beamed widely because she was quite confident that it was only a matter of time before the waiter in front of her gave in to her request.

“Don’t tell me that the customer from that room doesn’t need their meals to be served, nor do they need any service?” she asked quite forcefully, causing the waiter to be quite intimidated.

“Well…” He looked at Heather with a torn expression.

“Please help me out here,” Heather said while she took out some money. She knew that no one was able to resist the temptation of money. “If you’re willing to help me with this small favor, then I won’t let you be at disadvantage.”

The waiter looked at the wad of cash in Heather’s hands and he started to hesitate. Upon seeing that, she lamented deep down, Luckily I brought the money with me; otherwise, things might not proceed as smoothly.

“Then I—” the waiter could not make up his mind and he seemed to be struggling.

Just then, Heather directly placed the wad of bills into his hands; the money felt heavy in his hands and at that moment, he was quite tempted to take the offer. Although he was quite perplexed as to why Heather was so insistent on seeing the room, his decision was already swayed toward her and he had already shrugged off the constraints of his work ethics.

“I’ll take you there!” He hastily kept the money into his pocket. It’s dumb to reject a gift of money!

And so, Heather trailed after the waiter and mused, Luckily he didn’t insist on knowing the reason! Come to think of it though, it must be quite common to encounter people who give out money recklessly here.

The waiter knocked on the door to The Fifth Season while Heather hid by the side where she could clearly see the inside of the room. Once the door opened, then she would be able to take a glimpse of the whole room.

Inside the room, a low male voice rang out, “Come in.”

Thoughts whirled in Heather’s mind and she felt like she had heard this voice from somewhere before. Just then, the old-fashioned door creaked and then opened from the inside. She widened her eyes to look inside and tried to get a clear look at the person’s face but unfortunately for her, the waiter was in her way.

She narrowed her eyes and tried intently to get a clear look at the person’s face. At the same time, she didn’t see Everly in the room so she was slightly disappointed. However, she also heaved a sigh of relief after that. If Everly wasn’t in this room then obviously, she would be in the other room.

From Heather’s current position, she could see that there were shadows outlined in the other room. She contemplated for a moment and decided that she would pick a room next to that one.

Just then, the waiter came out of the room with a gloomy expression. It was quite likely that the customer in the room was in the midst of an important discussion and had lost their temper at him due to the disruption.

Heather shot a sympathetic look at the guy. She had already made up her mind about her choice of room so she mentioned to him, “I would like to book the Autumn Room please.”

He glanced at her with a confused look as he commented, “But then you haven’t even seen the Autumn Room.”

Heather smiled. “The Fifth Season isn’t as good as I imagined,” she murmured. “I’ve seen the Spring Room and didn’t like it that much either, but I’m not a big fan of winter so I guess I’ll just go with Autumn.”

Upon hearing that, the waiter gave her a baffled look, quite likely because it was the first time he had ever encountered such a strange customer. However, since she had already made up her mind, that made things much easier for him too. “Sure, I’ll make the arrangements right away,” he responded politely.

Soon after that, Heather entered the Autumn Room and noticed that the decorations inside were quite apt with the theme of the room. The room was furnished in gold and yellow hues, and the whole place reverberated with the joy of harvest. This was a contrast to what she had imagined because she had assumed that the theme chosen for this room would be ‘The Autumn Bleaks’, but it didn’t cross her mind that they would have chosen a joyous theme like the ‘Season of Harvest’.

Heather took a seat comfortably by the table; there was a tatami mat in the room and this Japanese style simplicity was well-suited to her taste. She chose to take a seat by the tatami mat but she didn’t even bother to give the actual dining table a second glance.

Just then, the waiter handed over the menu to Heather. She glanced at it then turned to him and said, “Can I have my meal by the tatami?”

He smiled at her in reply and nodded his head. “Our customers are our priority, so you can choose to have your meal at any section of this room.”

Heather was quite pleased with his response. Then, she randomly picked a few recommended dishes to order. After all, this was her first time visiting the place so it would be wise to pick a couple of their well-known dishes and have a taste. She looked at the coffee table in front of her and realized that the space was quite limited, so it would very likely be crowded later on when all her dishes were served. She frowned out of frustration at that thought. Soon after that, she picked up the teapot on the table and poured herself a cup of tea. Then, she lifted the teacup and took a whiff of the fragrant tea. It smells quite good, she thought and she smiled out of pleasure because she had an appreciation for good wine and great tea.

However, right now, her priority was to find a way to determine the person in the room next to hers. She tried to place her ear to the wall and eavesdropped on the situation next door. To her dismay, the soundproof system of the room was faultless and she couldn’t seem to hear a single sound. Meanwhile, there was no way she could barge into the room so she remained at a loss for what to do.
