BXBX NOVEL Chapter 97 - 97: Why Are You Here, Mr. McDonald?
At this moment, Hector was arguing with the receptionist of the restaurant. He seemed agitated.
“Didn’t 1 already reserve a seat? Now you’re telling me there is no seat?
Shouldn’t you give me an explanation?” Hector shouted at the beautiful woman at the reception desk.
“Sir, 1 have already explained to you. This is the peak hour. Even if you reserved a table in advance, you would still have to queue!” the beautiful woman at the desk said to Hector impatiently.
“Since we have already reserved a seat, why do we still have to queue for it? Why do 1 have to reserve a table then?” Hector shouted angrily.
“Sir, if you didn’t reserve a table in advance, you might not even have the chance to queue up!” the beauty said indifferently.
Hector was instantly speechless when he heard this. After all, he had never been to such a high-end restaurant before. Naturally, he didn’t know that New Century Restaurant had such a rule.
“What’s wrong with you? We’ve already reserved a table before, but we are also queuing for it. If you don’t want to queue up, hurry up and get lost. Don’t waste our time!”
At this moment, the customers standing behind Hector shouted impatiently.
Mina looked at Hector and hesitated before saying softly, “Hector, why don’t we forget about it? Isn’t it the same no matter where we eat? We can go eat somewhere else!”
“No, this is our first meal together. 1 must treat you to the best!”
Hector said to Mina seriously.
When Mina heard that, a trace of emotion flashed in her eyes flashed, and she didn’t say anything more.
The reason Hector wasn’t willing to go somewhere else wasn’t that he wanted to treat Mina to a meal here.
He had paid a deposit of 500 dollars in advance when he made the reservation. If he didn’t dine here today, the deposit would be used up. Hector didn’t want to waste 500 dollars!
“So, let’s queue for it!”
Mina said to Hector softly.
“We can only queue for now. Mina, I’m really sorry. I didn’t know this restaurant had such a rule. If 1 knew, 1 definitely wouldn’t have brought you here!”
Hector said to Mina apologetically.
“It’s okay. I only have to wait a little longer. I’m not very hungry now anyway!” Mina said very kindly.
“As long as you don’t mind!” Hector revealed a charming smile when he heard Mina’s answer.
However, at this moment, Connor and Chloe went into the restaurant.
When Hector saw Connor, the smile on his face instantly disappeared. Then, he shouted at Connor with an unfriendly tone, “What’s wrong with you? Why are you so clingy? You follow us wherever we go. What are you trying to do?”
When Mina saw Connor and Chloe enter, a strange look appeared on her face. She hesitated for two seconds and didn’t take the initiative to speak to Connor.
“Who cares about following you? Does your family own this restaurant? If you can dine here, why can’t we?” Chloe glared at Hector and shouted.
“How can a poor delivery boy have the money to eat here?” Hector continued to shout.
When the people in the restaurant heard this, they all turned to look at Connor.
Connor was dressed very ordinarily. He didn’t look like a person who could afford to eat here. Therefore, a trace of disdain appeared in everyone’s eyes.
“Who are you calling a delivery boy? Do you want to get slapped again?”
Chloe shouted very agitatedly.
“Stop arguing. What are you shouting for? Customers behind, please come over and take your number and queue up!” The receptionist shouted impatiently when she saw that Chloe was arguing with Hector.
When Chloe heard what the receptionist said, she quickly walked over to her and whispered, “I’ve reserved a seat in your restaurant. It’s room number eight!”
“It’s the rush hour now. You guys can go ahead and queue up!”
The receptionist took out a number plate and handed it to Chloe as she said expressionlessly.
Chloe was stunned when she saw the number plate.
“Don’t think about it. The people in front of you have already reserved their seats. They are waiting in line now!” The receptionist said to Chloe as if she saw the confusion in her eyes.
Chloe hesitated and handed the number plate back to the receptionist. She pouted and said, “Forget it. We are not eating here anymore!”
“If you don’t queue for it, the deposit will not be refunded!”
The receptionist reminded her softly.
“Isn’t it just 500 dollars? I’ll just let it go. I’m not like some people who can’t even bear to give up 500 dollars. Just standing here and waiting in line. If you don’t have money, don’t pretend to be a rich kid!”
It was obvious that Chloe was implying Hector.
When Hector heard this, his facial expression immediately turned ugly.
Today, Chloe was going to treat Connor to a meal. She wanted please him, but if she brought him to queue here, it wouldn’t look good on her.
Therefore, Chloe planned to treat Connor to a meal at another restaurant.
“Mr. McDonald, we would have to queue for this restaurant. Let’s go to another one!” Chloe Lawson said to Connor.
Connor hesitated before turning around to leave.
Mina and Hector were both there. Connor felt bad when he saw them, so he planned to take this opportunity to leave.
However, just as Connor was about to turn around and leave, a middle-aged man in a suit suddenly walked into the restaurant.
When the middle-aged man saw Connor, he was stunned. Then, he respectfully greeted Connor and said aloud, “Mr. McDonald, why are you here? Why didn’t you tell me you were coming to our restaurant?”
When everyone heard the middle-aged man, their eyes widened as they turned to look at Connor. They were very shocked.
The middle-aged man who walked in was none other than the manager of New Century Restaurant, Andrew Sullivan!
“Mr. McDonald, are you here at our restaurant for a meal?”
Andrew walked up to Connor with a slight bow and asked flatteringly.
“Yes, I was planning to have a meal with my friend here, but there are no more seats in your restaurant. I was thinking of going to another restaurant!”
Connor looked at Andrew and replied expressionlessly.
When everyone heard the conversation between Connor and Andrew, they were all visibly puzzled.
They really couldn’t understand why a poor loser like Connor, who looked very shabby in his clothes, would know the manager of New Century Restaurant.
Of course, the most shocked were Hector and Mina..
