Hera looked at him in agony. Her lips trembled, and she was devastated. “No, Lucas. Please don’t be so cruel to
me...”
Lucas frowned, “Go out now. I’ll take you to Ms. Saunders at 4 pm later.”
Upon hearing that, Hera immediately put on a smile as if she had caught a glimpse of hope.
Since he’s still willing to take me to Ms. Saunders, does this mean I shouldn’t take what he said earlier too seriously?
She wiped her tears and exclaimed, “Thank you, Lucas. I’ll leave you now, and I’ll be back later.”
Spencer had been standing outside the office with Lucas’ lunchbox for a long time.
Once Hera left, he immediately entered the office.
That woman must have come to disturb Mr. Nolan at 12 pm on purpose since she knows everyone around here
would have gone out for lunch.

office.
At 4 pm, Hera and Lucas arrived at Imperial Tea House.
Located in the city center’s prime location, Imperial Tea House stood out among all the modern commercial
buildings because of its classic façade.
Many prominent figures in Riverdale enjoyed coming here to luxuriate in their afternoon tea.
Almost all the rich and powerful elites would be honored had they earned the right to dine here.
If it were not for Lucas, Hera would not have a chance to enter this legendary tea house.
They slowly walked into the tea house and were greeted by the waiters, who then opened the door for them.
The interior of the tea house exuded a quaint charm, and every detail in the shop was sophisticated.
Most of the tables were occupied, and most of the guests were familiar faces from the elite class.
Clad in a traditional costume, the waiters asked in a courteous manner, “How can we help you?”
“We have an appointment at Celestial Room,” Lucas said aloofly.
Suddenly, a melodious sound of a string instrument coming from upstairs had caught everyone’s attention.
The sound was so harmonious and sweet-sounding that it touched the hearts of all the guests in the tea house.
Even those who did not understand music would appreciate and praise its beauty!
Just when Hera was about to ask the waiter who the performer was, someone exclaimed, “It’s Ms. Saunders! She’s
the one playing the harp!”
“We’re so blessed to have hear Ms. Saunders perform!”
All the other guests were just as pleasantly surprised when they heard Ms. Saunders’ name.
Hera had studied music before, so she could tell how skillful she was. She could not help but ask the waiter, “Isn’t
Ms. Saunders a professional pianist?”
“Though Ms. Saunders had only spent a month to master the piano, the harp is still her favorite instrument.
Whenever she’s free, she would come and perform a tune or two in the tea house. Her presence here has helped

Of course, many guests frequented the tea house because of Ms. Saunders’ fame!
One month!
One month was all she needed to master the piano, and she won the first prize in the World Piano Competition!
For someone who had been taking piano lessons since young, this was a slap in Hera’s face.
Just the thought of it made her head spin, and she nearly fainted.
“We have an appointment with Ms. Saunders,” Lucas said in a cold voice.
Hera smiled and added, “Could you please bring us to Ms. Saunders’ room?”
The waiter looked at Lucas and responded with a grin, “So you’re Mr. Nolan. Follow me.”
All the guests were green with envy as they watched the waiter bring the two of them to the second floor.
The waiter brought them to Celestial Room. The moment he opened the door, a charmingly antiquated room
appeared before their eyes.
They were greeted by clouds of smoke from an incense burner on the table.
