Not far from the banquet hall there was a spacious room. It was like a living room, with two sofas, a table in between, a cabinet, and a few other pieces of furniture.
The windows were open, allowing fresh air to flow through the room.
"Please have a seat," Chloe said, pointing to one of the sofas.
Nolan walked past her and sat down.
Chloe walked over to the minibar at the far end of the room. A few minutes later, she returned carrying two cups of tea—one cherry blossom-scented and the other jasmine-scented.
She placed both cups on the table, then handed the cherry blossom tea to Nolan.
"Here you go."
Nolan took the cup but didn't drink immediately. Instead, he studied it for a moment, inhaled its aroma, and asked, "How did you know I like cherry blossom–scented tea?"
Chloe took a sip of her tea and smiled faintly.
"I heard it from your older sister. She said you like floral teas, especially cherry blossom. Am I right?"
