A pot of hot stew.
It really was what Zeke had ordered for him.
Mance’s face darkened instantly. In fact, it was even darker than the black pot.
Ba****ds, how dare you humiliate me!
Nancy and Lacey exchanged glances in surprise.
What was the restaurant management thinking?
Not only did they disobey the host, but they also followed the instructions of a freeloader to humiliate their own
distinguished guest.
There was no discretion at all!
Fury consumed Mance as he had never been humiliated to this extent in his whole life.
Raising his hand to hit the server, Zeke grabbed it to stop him.
Zeke said, “He was just following instructions. Besides, you shouldn’t be finding fault with a lowly server.”
Nancy quickly interjected. “Mance, there’s no need to get physical. Let’s just talk it out.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTo maintain his chivalrous attitude, Mance finally put his hand down.
“I want to see your manager.”
Damn it, to think that I had given him so many tips earlier.
The server nodded immediately and left to get the manager.
After a while, he returned alone.
Mance demanded angrily, “Where’s your manager?”
The server replied meekly, “Our manager says she’s busy and has no time to come over.”
Mance banged the table as he stood up. “Do I need to look for her myself? Humph, when I see her, she will have to
face the consequences.”
Zeke added, “Do you have time to see her personally? Won’t your food be cold by then? Go. Call your manager. Tell
her I’ve asked for her.”
Lacey couldn’t help but chuckle. She found his comment humorous, given how the pot of hot stew would not turn
cold anytime soon.
Nancy stared at Zeke with a dissatisfied expression. “Mance as a prominent guest couldn’t even get the manager to
come out. What makes a kept-man like you think you can? You really are oblivious to your status.”
The next second, Nancy was humiliated.
Mia, the restaurant manager, rushed over. She bowed at Zeke and asked, “Mr. Williams, you wanted to see me?”
Nancy and Lacey were so stunned that they froze like statues.
Zeke not only got the manager to come, but he also got her to bow with respect.
Fuck! What’s going on? They must have mixed up who was the host.
Smiling, Zeke replied, “Ma’am, I have some feedback on the food.”
“Please go ahead, Mr. Williams. We will do our best to improve.”
“How can you serve the pot of hot stew when it isn’t cooked thoroughly? Aren’t you not living up to your own
standards?”
The manager apologized, “I’m sorry, Mr. Williams. Since you didn’t say how well you wanted it done, we just cooked
it to seventy percent doneness.”
Lacey burst out in laughter again.
A pot of hot stew that was seventy percent done. What a smart-ass!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMance was fuming with anger now.
It was a huge insult to him by a restaurant employee and wasn’t something he could tolerate at all.
With his temper of old, he would have beaten someone up.
But in front of the two beautiful women, he suppressed his anger to maintain his chivalrous front.
“Go and get your boss. I want to buy this restaurant.”
He then looked at Nancy longingly. “Nancy, I’m sorry that you had to go through such an unpleasant experience the
first time we share a meal. It won’t happen again. I’ll buy this restaurant for you as a gift. Going forward, we will
always have the place to ourselves, alright?”
“Huh?” Nancy was shocked.
This Michelin-starred restaurant would cost at least seventy to eighty million. There was no way she could accept
such a gift.
She waved to decline immediately. “Mance, you can’t. It’s too expensive. I simply can’t accept it.”
Mance replied, “Nancy, this restaurant is nothing to me. I’m worried it isn’t up to your standards. As long as it
makes you happy, I’m willing to buy the entire Oakheart City for you.”
