At that moment, Mr. Cramer stopped both of them. “I’m sorry, but someone has booked the whole place today.
Please forgive me for not being able to serve you.”
Michael sneered, “Tsk Tsk, what a humiliation.”
Mance took out a stack of cash and stuffed it in Joel’s hand. “Here’s a tip. I’ll need to reserve the whole place today,
here’s the message for my reservation.”
He showed Joel the message John sent to reserve the place.
When he realized it was John Connor who ordered it, his mouth broadened into a wide smile.
John was, after all, an extremely important guest. Even the tip ran into tens of thousands.
Bowing, Joel ushered them in. “Welcome. This way, please.”
Mance turned back and rolled his eyes at Michael. “Also, when I enjoy my meal, I don’t like to have flies buzzing
around my face. Please get rid of them for me.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJoel was well aware of who the “big fly” was.
Waving at the security guards, he instructed, “Come with me.”
He led them toward Michael Hinton threateningly.
Michael’s face turned green as he panicked.
He didn’t expect Nancy to be able to get in.
From the looks of it, the one who reserved the whole Michelin-starred restaurant was none other than her new
beau.
F***! Nancy seems to be on a roll with her luck.
He knew he couldn’t afford to offend someone like that. Before Joel could even get close, he scuttled away.
Nancy was ecstatic and felt overjoyed.
This was the first time she managed to one-up Michael.
With the hero by her side, no one would dare to bully her anymore. What a wonderful feeling it was!
Smiling at Nancy, Mance said, “You can head in first. I need to make a call.”
“Sure.” The server then ushered Nancy into the Michelin-starred restaurant.
Mance didn’t really have a call to make. Instead, he instructed Joel, “I need a favor from you. I have invited another
couple as guests, and they would be arriving soon. After you usher the lady in, hold up her male companion outside
and make life difficult for him. Ideally, rough him up so that the lady would feel disgraced by him.”
Joel’s face was filled with glee. “It’s not a problem at all. It’s our honor to be of any service to you.”
With that, Mance walked right in.
Not long after he entered, Zeke and Lacey arrived.
The moment they alighted, they attracted the attention of Joel and his subordinates.
“Hey, look! Isn’t that Zeke who used to work in the restaurant?” Joel remarked.
The other servers played along.
“It’s really him. Zeke worked in the restaurant five years ago.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“However, he offended our manager, Mr. Cramer, and was sacked. Why has he returned?”
“It’s bad enough that he dresses shabbily, but driving a run-down Santana? Who gave him the gall to think he could
walk into a fancy place like this?”
“But the lady with him looks kind of pretty. Alas, what a waste of beauty on that piece of shit.”
Five years ago, when Zeke had just stepped out of the public eye, he worked in this restaurant for some time.
Due to his honest and forthright character, he never ingratiated himself with Joel by paying protection money.
Hence, he was ostracized by all the staff.
Everyone looked down on him. They would leave the dirtiest and most menial tasks for him to do alone.
Later on, Joel wanted to take advantage of one of the female employees but was thwarted by Zeke in the nick of
time.
Zeke beat up Joel savagely and saved the female employee.
The incident resulted in Joel being fined and jailed for a couple of days.
Since then, he held a grudge against Zeke and found an opportunity to sack him.
Now, there was another opportunity for revenge.
