The Heir novel Chapter 29

After informing the chefs, she immediately asked the staff to clean and set the table on Eden’s Hall just like the manager instructed. And now, she wondered what was with Maximilian for his manager to exert such effort to impress him. He and his wife celebrating their wedding anniversary in Eden’s Hall? Since Sarah started working at Romaticos, the only people who chartered the restaurant and used their grandest hall were executives of first-rate companies and politicians from different states and countries. Where would he get the money to pay for everything?

But wait, why did she even bother to think about it? She holds a grudge against him, so she should not concern herself about his future problems. It was his life, after all. Sarah let out a sigh and shook her head. She must pull herself together before facing Maximilian once again.

“Miss Sarah, we are all set,” one of the staff informed her.

“Oh!” She clasped her hands together. “Great. Go to the kitchen and check if the food is ready. I will go to the manager’s office and call them.”

She went out of Eden’s Hall feeling anxious.

When she arrived at the manager’s office, Sir Pete and Maximilian were about to go out.

“Oh, Sarah. Mr. Lee and I were wondering if you’re done,” the manager told her.

“Yes, Sir. Everything is set. The food will be served any minute now.” She gazed at Maximilian, who was looking at her too. It suddenly made her feel uneasy. Sarah looked away and gestured at the hallway. “Shall we?”

“After you, Mr. Lee.” Sir Pete opened the door widely.

As they walked through the hallway going to Eden’s Hall, Sarah could not help but listen to the conversation. All she could hear was Maximilian’s plan on his special day with his wife and the manager’s suggestions.

Maximilian settled on the table first while the manager waited for her to get inside.

“Sarah, I know you are good at your work, but still, I want you to give your best to please Mr. Lee, okay?” Sir Pete told her. “He is—”

“Son-in-law of the Griffiths. I know about it, he is my classmate back in college and—”

“Oh, my God, Sarah! Really? You know him personally?”

Her forehead formed a knot as she met the manager’s gaze. “Y-yes. As I was saying, he was my classmate.”
