The entire Solitude was built on the water, and it could match with those floating structures during ancient times. The long corridors were hung with torches with dancing fires reflected off the calm lake surface.
It exuded a sense of elegance, classicism, serenity, and depths. No wonder so many people loved this place.
The servers walked out and greeted them to a fanshaped wooden door made of bamboo, which had some writings on it.
As they entered, they were greeted by a new world. In front of them was a long bamboo dining table, surrounded by pale white flowers that gave out a faint, pleasing scent.
Directly opposite was the crystal-clear lake they saw o n the outside. The lake was covered with reeds. When a gust of wind blew by, the reeds would sway with the wind.
Those teachers were seated, and they all exclaimed with wonder over the beautiful sight.
Summer was immersed in the beautiful scenery, too. Just then, door opened, and servers started to serve
the meal.
Almost every dish was light milky white, without too strong seasoning. They were light and fresh at first glance, cooked in such a way to bring out the food’s natural taste.
"Don't serve food first. Otherwise, the food would have turned cold by the time Mr. Valentine arrives," Amy said to Summer.
"Please excuse me." Summer got to her feet, going away to make a phone call.
"When will you be arriving? We are here. Umm, the food is being served right now," she said into the phone.
"I will be there in just a while," Mark said in a deep voice. "Keep them entertained first, Mrs. Valentine."
Nodding, Summer exhorted, "Be safe."
“I will, Mrs. Valentine." He responded briskly, as if the corners of his mouth were raised.
