Chapter 69: The meal

I followed him into the room. Mi Fan was also inside. But they both had their clothes on properly.

Huh? It wasn’t the type of relationship I was thinking? Or could it be, they haven’t started yet?

Ahhhh...what was I thinking?

But this room was very luxurious. Could this be the legendary presidential suite?

I was so amazed by the room that I had stopped in my tracks.

No! No! Lin Yixin! You need to stay sober! You must know your duties. Control yourself! You can do it! My heart gave myself a warning.

Mi Fan and the guy were already seated. The man opened his mouth, “I ordered the chef to purposely prepare these dishes for you. They are your favourite. Father has been very busy lately, but he told me I must take good care of reporter Mi. Thank you for what you have done for us.”

Then, the guy gave me a look.

Was that the cue for me to serve? I was certain he was hinting something, but I didn’t know what to do.

I was trying to think of the scenarios in dramas where the male and female lead would be sharing a candlelight dinner in a romantic atmosphere. What was the server doing on the side?

I never paid attention to the server! Ahhh!

Ai ya! Screw it! I just have to lift the lid and then display the food in front of them, right? Then, I could excuse myself!

“Oh? I’m curious to see what the young master has prepared for me… It’s according to my preference?” Mi Fan gazed at me. She was waiting for me to introduce the dishes to her.

Oh God! Kill me! At this rate, my disguise will be exposed!

I hardened my scalp and displayed the first dish. “Ummm...this is, uh… a steak?” I forcefully squeezed out a smile as I used my judgment and placed the steak in front of Mi Fan.

“And this, uh…. This is a mixed salad...” I stared at the pile of veggies in the dish. It should be a salad, right?

“Also, this is, umm….” I scrutinized the unknown item in front of me. Who could tell me what the heck it is? I didn’t even introduce the item as I directly placed it in front of the guy.

Their expressions were a bit peculiar. My only wish was to quickly open the red wine and dash.

This was the first time I had ever attempted to open a bottle of red wine. How do you open it? Regardless of how hard I tugged, it wouldn’t budge…

I used all my strength but still failed to pull out the cork. Mi Fan couldn’t take it anymore and pointed at the bottle opener.

“Oh…” I stabbed the bottle opener in the middle of the cork and used all my strength to pull.

“Young master, I’m honestly quite skeptical of your hotel’s standards. You have these type of servers to please your customers?” Mi Fan rolled her eyes at me; she looked displeased.

With the help of the bottle opener, I managed to open the wine bottle. But I barely managed to grip onto the bottle. The red wine nearly splattered on Mi Fan.

Oh no! I made her mad!

At this moment, my internal organs were breaking down. Before the young master could say anything, I rushed to apologize. “Sorry. I’m so sorry! I’m a new server. There are still a lot of things I may not be good at. Sorry for causing inconvenience to you!”

I was an expert at saying words I didn’t mean. After all, as Suyang’s subordinate, I’ve had lots of practice. I hope they won’t see through me.

“Thank you for reporter Mi’s comment in regards to our hotel’s server standards. We will improve. To compensate, this meal is on me. Allow me to personally attend to your needs.” Then, the man stood up and replaced my position without saying a word. I was standing at the corner while he began to introduce every dish to Mi Fan.

He was knowledgeable and fluent as he went on and on…

Can I leave now? I screamed from the inside. Sadly, there was no response. There wasn’t even the illicit sexual scene I had imagined. I have no purpose to remain here.

Right now, I was at a position where I couldn’t leave but shouldn’t stay either. I had no choice but to blatantly watch and listen to this somewhat flirty but not exactly flirty talk between the two. I felt like the God of awkwardness was favouring me.

“Reporter Mi, I heard you’ve been harassed recently? Do you want me to help you deal with it?” After the man was done doing my job, he sat down at his original spot and got straight into the main topic.

Mi Fan threw me a warning glance. “There’s someone here. Let’s not talk about this now.”

I quickly lowered my head.

“Why would it matter? This hotel belongs to me. The people from this hotel are my people. What are you afraid of?”
