Chapter 206 Demolish the Restaurant?
Once they had gotten to know each other, Lynette swiftly took Luna’s arm in hers and. commented, “Your hair color is really cool.”
“You can be cool like me, too.” Luna teased with a smile.
The two of them quickly became fast friends.
Lynette led them to a private dining room.
Abigail soon noticed that Eric and Josh were already seated upon entering the room. She couldn’t help but scrunch her brows at the sight of them.
“Abby, I was so thrilled to see you that I forgot to tell you we were having dinner together,” Lynette explained with a guilty expression.
Luna wasn’t surprised to see Eric but couldn’t hide her astonishment at seeing Josh.
“Miss Quinn! The great reveal was a real surprise. Anyway, good evening.” Eric greeted politely with his trademark warm smile as he rose to his feet.
Josh also quickly followed suit and pulled out two chairs.
At this point, Abigail couldn’t simply walk out.
Even if their relationship had soured beyond repair, adults in the real world had to endure any discomfort when necessary.
“Good evening. I didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence,” Abigail said as she walked into the private room.
“That’s right,” Eric replied and sat back down while maintaining a friendly expression.
Lynette stood to the side and asked, “Shall I go buy some coffee for you all?”
“No, thank you.” Abigail declined.
“I can’t drink coffee at night; it keeps me awake. So, I’ll have to pa*s on that offer as well. Thank you, though,” Luna said graciously as she removed her mask and wore a bright smile.
After Lynette left, Luna’s gaze unintentionally fell on Josh’s face.
He looked too similar…
“I was quite shocked by the online situation. I never expected you to be Alana. I always thought you were just a simple a*sistant.” Eric initiated the conversation.
Abigail simply acknowledged with a faint hum. It was clear that she wasn’t interested in saying
more on the matter.
Josh, who was sitting next to her, naturally poured her a cup of tea.
“What would you like to eat?” he asked Abigail with concern.
Abigail quickly sensed that he might not have given up on her being a part of the Pearsons just yet upon hearing his question.
However, she didn’t want to open that particular can of worms with Luna present.
“Just order whatever you like, as long as it’s delicious,” Abigail replied coldly.
“All right.” Josh nodded and carefully examined the menu.
Eric couldn’t help but feel anxious at their back and forth as he continued, “Speaking of which, it seems that the online community is quite upset with you, especially regarding your concealment of being Alana. Many people are dissatisfied with your decision.”
“Actually, their attitude toward me doesn’t affect my work as a designer at all,” Abigail replied.
Eric blinked at her dumbly and found himself at a loss for words.
He couldn’t help but notice that she was usually easy to talk to unless offended. Once anyone had made that particular blunder, she wouldn’t bother showing them anything more than the basic courtesy needed.
Meanwhile, Lynette spotted Cameron getting out of the car and courteously opening the car door for someone after buying coffee and making her way to the restaurant.
When she saw Sean stepping out of the car, she tightened her hand around the bag and quickly. dialed a number.
As soon as the call was answered, she issued a cold command, saying sternly, “Two men will enter shortly, and one of them is Sean, whom you should recognize. I don’t care what happens; stop them until they are forced to leave the restaurant. If Sean causes trouble, tell him he should seek out the Pearsons in person for an explanation! I’m telling you, if he enters the restaurant today, I’ll fire you, and you won’t find work anywhere in the entire capital!”
With that, she hung up the phone, feeling content.
Today, she was going to avenge the grudge she held against Cameron for blocking her way in the past. As for Sean… Well, he was simply not worthy of Abigail!
Moreover, Abigail should not have married him. Lynette was of the opinion that she should have
married someone better.
Since it wouldn’t be convenient for her to take the entrance, Lynette sneaked into the restaurant through the side entrance.
Cameron and Sean arrived at the restaurant’s entrance and were about to enter when the restaurant’s general manager intercepted them. He said politely, “I apologize, but the restaurant is at capacity, and any free tables have been reserved by other guests. I’m afraid we won’t be accepting other guests at this time. Please consider dining elsewhere.”
Sean’s chin lifted slightly as he spoke in an unfriendly tone, “I’m here to meet someone, not for dining. Let me pa*s.”
The general manager felt a headache coming on. The Pearsons were not to be trifled with, but this person who had just arrived from Pendorf was equally formidable. He prayed with all his heart, that the Pearsons would help him out after he resolved the matter.
“Sir, please don’t put me in a difficult position. This restaurant has been reserved by the Pearsons, and they have invested a great deal of shares in this establishment. I’m just an employee, and I truly can’t allow you entry,” the general manager bitterly explained his situation to Sean.
Why was it the Pearsons again?
Sean narrowed his eyes.
The Pearsons had always been rather mysterious and elusive whenever they conducted their affairs. So, what was their connection to Abigail?
Why did they always appear wherever she was around?
“Mr. Graham doesn’t intend to dine in your restaurant. He’s here to meet someone,” Cameron explained to the general manager.
“I’m sorry, but the Pearsons have instructed that they have booked the entire restaurant for the night, and no one else is allowed to enter,” the general manager said in resignation.
Sean sneered. “So, you’re saying that if I want to meet someone in this restaurant today, I’ll have to demolish the entire place?”
The general manager looked uneasy as he said wearily, “Please give me some time to make a phone call.”
“Make the call here,” Cameron said with a stern expression, and his demeanor was as cold as ice.
Sean regarded the general manager with a mirthless smile, causing the manager to break out in a
cold sweat.
He trembled as he took out his phone and dialed Lynette’s number.
These outrageous blue-blooded… They either threatened his livelihood or tried to go for broke by straight up suggesting they would demolish his restaurant. Just who on Earth was that person that they were willing to go to such lengths for?
