The dining room had also been redesigned, its style a continuation of the black, white, and gray theme from outside.
Jett Westgate led Annelise Valentine to the head of the table. He chivalrously pulled out her chair and waited for her to be seated before taking the seat beside her.
Annelise Valentine glanced at the dishes on the table, her heart stirring slightly.
Most of them were her favorite Veridian dishes, supplemented with some capital-style cuisine. It was clear that a lot of thought had gone into the arrangement.
"Try some," Jett Westgate said, turning his head to whisper to her. "The chef was specially brought in from Veridia."
Annelise Valentine picked up a piece of shrimp with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth. A fresh, delicious flavor melted on her tongue.
She nodded and said sincerely, "It's delicious."
