~ At Queen's Hall ~
***A few minutes before Matthew overheard Jade's and her friends' conversation.***
Marcus was guiding Sophia as they entered one of the rooms in the Queen's Hall.
The light was very dim, but it's bright enough to see the romantic decoration inside the room.
Sophia gasped in surprise and amazement after seeing the petals of roses scattered on the floor. They served as a pathway for them, leading them to a table located at the center of the room.
There was a bottle of champagne in the middle. Chocolate cakes, assorted snacks, and other desserts were well-arranged on the table.
Beside the table was a long sofa for them to sit on. John and Lester didn't prepare individual chairs for them. It was intentional so that Marcus and Sophia would sit on one chair together, side by side together.
