A Graduation Gift
Chapter 120 The Person Sitting On Her Bed
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.
