Chapter 132 : Museum
Two hours passed.
The trio—Finn, Wanda, and the Dark Witch—arrived smoothly at the Museum of the City of New York. To their surprise, the place was already crowded. Though it was still morning and the museum wasn't scheduled to open until the afternoon, a large number of visitors had gathered outside, snapping pictures and waiting eagerly. It felt as though half the city had turned up just to see the scene.
"It's not even open yet. Why don't we go eat something?" Wanda tugged on Finn's arm, her expression full of exaggerated pleading.
"It's barely been a couple of hours and you're already hungry? Have a little restraint," the Dark Witch muttered, arching an eyebrow in disapproval.
"So what if I'm hungry? You might be fine, but I'm starving," Wanda replied, sticking out her tongue. She then pulled Finn forward without waiting for any more of the Dark Witch's sarcasm.
"Interesting," the Dark Witch whispered, licking her red lips as she watched them. Without hesitation, she followed. "Can't you two wait for me?"
After that small episode, the three of them found a restaurant a short walk away. It was a modern-looking bistro with a sleek design and large glass windows. Wanda looked around as they entered, her eyes lighting up. "This place looks amazing."
"No time to waste. If you're so hungry, let's find a seat and order," Finn said, pushing the door open and walking in with both witches beside him.
The interior was packed. Conversations buzzed, utensils clinked, and the aroma of rich food filled the air. A hostess with a dazzling smile approached them. "Hello, welcome. Do you have a reservation?"
"No," Finn replied curtly. "Any seats available?"
She glanced behind her and then back at him. "I'm afraid not at the moment. As you can see, it's pretty busy. However, if you're willing to wait about ten minutes, we can have a table ready for you."
