Chapter 314: [312] Dinner
The tavern, Ale and Eats, was always at its busiest during the evening. The crowd didn't start thinning out until late at night. Meidri, being the sole worker for the night shift, had to handle the entire load on her own—a demanding task, to say the least.
August, meanwhile, sat quietly nearby, patiently waiting for Meidri to finish her work.
Fortunately, all Meidri had to do was tidy up the place. She didn't need to worry about washing dishes or cleaning cups; that was someone else's job. All she had to do was make sure the tavern was cleaned up for the next day.
"Finally done," Meidri sighed in relief.
"Hey, looks like you're finally finished. Got some time now?" August called out.
"You're still here?"
"Why, can't you see I'm still sitting here?"
"You..."
Meidri glared at August, clearly annoyed. This guy always found a way to get under her skin.
However, thinking about the delicious food August had promised, she chose to hold back her temper—for now. She was starting to get used to his antics, anyway.
Without wasting any time, August pulled out several beautifully arranged dishes, along with a stunning cake and a bottle of red wine.
