The second time was with her terrible ex-boyfriend. She had thought he’d gone to great lengths to get a reservation, remembering her saying she wanted to come, to win her favor.
But it turned out he was trying to pursue the boss’s daughter, and this became the place of their breakup.
Thinking about Jiang Ping Zhe made her feel quite uncomfortable. She didn’t want to associate this beautiful and romantic place with that jerk.
Ke Nan Yu pulled open the glass door for her, and a pleasant crystal music immediately rang in her ears, with flickering candlelight adding to the mysterious atmosphere of the restaurant.
She was surprised to find the place empty.
By “empty” she meant no customers, no servers, not even the waitress with the sweet smile was around.
She looked back at Ke Nan Yu, “No one’s here! Is it before opening hours?”
It was past seven o’clock. Could that really be possible?
“Don’t you think someone might have booked the entire place?”
“That’s exactly what I was thinking!” She still felt puzzled. “But there’s not even a waiter. I remember last time there was a bartender here.”
The purple wall lights embedded in the ceiling illuminated the neat bar, which was completely deserted. The entire restaurant seemed prepared for business, but all the people who should be there were missing.
“So you’ve been here before,” he casually closed the door and flipped the “closed” sign. Classic would only serve two guests tonight, a small indulgence of his as the owner and chef.
An hour earlier, he had instructed Classic’s manager to give everyone the night off while keeping everything ready for service. As for the customers who had already made reservations, he would provide them with generous compensation.
“Once,” she felt uneasy about entering the empty restaurant and said, “Actually, I’m not very hungry. I think I should…”
As she spoke and turned to leave, Ke Nan Yu grabbed her shoulder and smiled, “Since we’re here, you should try the restaurant’s most classic Caesar salad.”
“Can’t have it,” Yuan Xing Can said, “Last time I came, I tried to order this salad, but the waiter said it’s not available every day.”
