Chapter 826

Lindsey offered a friendly smile.

“Want to give it a try?” The middle-aged owner handed her a skewer of meat, encouraging her to have a taste.

Lindsey accepted the skewer, noting that it didn’t seem spicy.

She took a cautious bite.

It had cooled down and was rather salty, as though it had been overly seasoned and was slightly undercooked.

When she noticed the eager look in the owner’s eyes, Lindsey managed to muster a compliment.

She wondered if people actually frequented this place.

“How’s the business going here?” Lindsey asked with genuine interest.

“It’s usually booming.

Often, patrons need to book a spot well ahead of time,” the owner replied with a hint of pride.

Looking around, puzzled, Lindsey took another bite of the meat and couldn’t resist asking, “Why’s it so empty today, then?”

With a knowing smile, the owner answered in a distinct accent that Lindsey struggled to understand, “Today, the entire place was booked by someone! Didn’t you notice the gentleman who was just here? He seems to really care about you, going to great lengths to book the entire place just for you!”

Lindsey was taken aback.
