She felt Zeke was too much of a coward and wasn’t ambitious enough. She not only kept her distance but also bad-
mouthed him for being useless.
Time had now proven she was blind to all his potential.
She had lost millions... No; she lost billions!
No longer able to endure the regret, she started crying out loud.
To the others who weren’t aware of the true reason, they assumed she was just feeling emotional at being
appointed manager.
As the crowd hung their head in silence, they gradually returned to their work in the restaurant.
Meanwhile, in the restaurant’s most luxurious private room, Mance’s eyes sparkled the moment he saw Lacey.
Beautiful, she’s just amazingly gorgeous!
He had originally thought that Nancy was extremely pretty but didn’t expect Lacey to be a cut above Nancy in
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtterms of both looks and figure.
Most importantly, she had a certain charisma that Nancy lacked.
Her unique charisma captivated Mance, and he couldn’t free himself of it.
He had not expected to see such a beautiful Goddess walk the face of earth.
All the female mercenaries he slept with were nothing compared to Lacey.
He had been fooling around with shit for the last ten years!
At that moment, he made a decisive decision to remove Zeke and claim Lacey for himself.
This was the first mission toward his goal, and he needed to do a good job in his first encounter with the enemy.
Soon, Zeke joined them.
Nancy rolled her eyes rudely at him. “Here comes the kept-man. Have a seat.”
Zeke felt helpless as he didn’t seem to ever be able to correct Nancy’s bias toward him.
How dare you insult your hero! Aren’t you worried about the consequences?
Zeke took a seat.
Mance snapped his fingers, “We’re ready to order.”
The server approached and handed them two menus.
He gave one each to Nancy and Lacey, respectively. “Ladies, please place your orders.”
Nancy replied. “Thank you.”
Before Lacey received the menu, Zeke got to it first and studied its contents hungrily.
“Honey, this ‘Spring of New York’ is the restaurant’s specialty. We must order it. Also, the shrimp balls are fantastic.
Let’s have one of those. And I heard the chocolate cake is good for your skin. Let’s get that too.”
Nancy’s face darkened as she rebuked him, “Hey, Zeke. Can’t you be more chivalrous? Show some basic manners
by letting the lady go first. You should take a leaf out of Mance’s book.”
Zeke replied, “Haven’t you ladies asked for equality? Yet you are now demanding to be given preferential
treatment?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I-I will not waste my time on you. I’m telling you now that Mance is treating today. He can decide who gets to
order. If you want to order something, pay for it yourself. Oh, I forgot. You live off another woman. You won’t have
the money to foot the bill.”
Zeke replied, “Haha, I can eat here for free.”
Nancy retorted, “Are you stupid or what? What gives you the right to eat for free here?”
“I own the restaurant.”
“Sheesh! That’s a ridiculous lie. If you’re really the boss, why would you need to be a kept-man? Gosh, I really
regret asking you to come.”
Snatching away the menu from Zeke, Nancy passed it to Lacey. “Lacey, you should order.”
Lacey was feeling a little awkward at that moment.
Her best friend’s boyfriend was acting gentlemanly while hers was being a jerk. He even claimed to own the
Michelin-starred restaurant.
Geez, I shouldn’t have brought him along.
