Chapter 359
After exiting his car, Hubert sprinted to the last vehicle, gesturing for the
bodyguard to step aside, and then opened the door himself. “Mr. Magnus, we
have arrived!” he said, his face lit up with a grin. Since his father had
entrusted him with this responsibility, he could not shirk his duty to take good
care of this guest!
Gautier was supposed to host this guest but was too busy and had to ask
Hubert to fill in at the last minute.
At the next moment, a man got out of the car. He was strikingly good–looking,
but his Harry Potter–like glasses gave him an air of scholarly gravitas.
On the other hand, Eleanor felt a flutter in her chest when she saw this man,
and her eyes lingered involuntarily on Magnus. Hubert is one of Yeringham’s
wealthiest young men, so seeing him treat another person with such
deference surprises me. So, who could this other man be?
“Eleanor, is our private room ready?”
Jonathan suddenly spoke, bringing her back to her senses.
“Ah, Mr. Verkade… and Mr. Jonathan, the private room is ready. Please follow
me!” She quickly adapted to the situation, and after a brief moment of shock,
she put on a radiant smile as she led the distinguished guests into the
Serenity Resort.
Meanwhile, Magnus was surprised to learn that their private room was ready,
but he said nothing.
Hubert had reserved this private room earlier, and Laura had told him that
Princess Claudette would be celebrating her birthday tonight in Room 888.
Unfortunately, there was nobody in the room when they went in. While
pondering how to explain it to Magnus, he suddenly realized that Magnus
had not entered the room. However, he noticed Magnus standing in the
corridor, apparently lost in thought.
Nonetheless, Magnus glanced at the empty room before leaving, only to stop
in front of Room 1314, where he gingerly opened the door and stood still.
Suddenly, Hubert noticed his unusual behavior and hurriedly walked over.
Seeing this, the others trailed behind him as if they were accompanying a
prince on an outing.
Meanwhile, a man and a woman were engaged in lighthearted conversation
and laughter inside Room 1314. The woman’s face was lit up by a radiant grin,
and it was clear that she was having a wonderful time.
On the other hand, Magnus stared silently at the unfolding events, and
Hubert didn’t dare to speak either. Even though Hubert was a playboy who
didn’t run the family business, he decided to speak less and avoid
embarrassing blunders after hearing from Gautier that Magnus didn’t
appreciate it when people talked out of turn.
When the others noticed the two young men were silent, they stood in the
corridor outside the room.
Due to the uncomfortable silence, Jonathan, thinking he was a smart aleck,
followed Magnus‘ gaze and quickly glanced in that direction. Then, he
instructed Eleanor, “Obviously, this room is better. We’ll take it!” Since he was
from one of the side branches of the wealthy family, he did not know whom
Magnus favored nor his personality. He believed Magnus might have
www
developed a crush on Claudette on that particular day, so he offered to help
him. Furthermore, he had long despised Emmanuel and thought today was
an excellent opportunity to kill two birds with one stone!
After hearing this, her smile froze, but it thawed out almost immediately. After
all, she knew Claudette’s identity and couldn’t possibly offend either of them.
So, she quickly clung to Jonathan’s arm with her full chest pressed against
his hand, then blinked playfully. “Mr. Jonathan, if you like this room, let me
know in advance next time. I will make sure it’s prepared for you!” I knew him
well. He is quite the womanizer, so it works wonders when women act coy
around him. Furthermore, he has a penchant for bragging and constantly
trying to outdo everyone around him.
Nonetheless, at this moment, Jonathan became more ferocious and ruthless
than ever before, and he pushed Eleanor aside callously and said, “Can’t you
understand a simple request? We want this private room now!”
Then, she quickly pleaded, “Mr. Jonathan, our restaurant doesn’t have a policy
of forcibly removing guests. It’s extremely difficult for me to do this!”
“Rules are made by people, and today is the day to change them!” As usual,
he smirked and declared, “Anyway, I don’t care how you do it, but get that
guy out of here immediately!” He did give her some leeway. Of course, I’m
aware of Claudette’s social status, and Eleanor would never dare to remove
her. Nevertheless, getting rid of an ordinary person like Emmanuel should be
a piece of cake, right?
However, to Jonathan’s surprise, Eleanor still refused and continued to plead
with a smile, “Mr. Jonathan, the private room 888 is also very nice. It has a
balcony where you can gaze at the splendid stars tonight-”
Smack! Before she could finish her sentence, he slapped her hard across the
face! The beautiful head captain’s face instantly turned crimson.
“Don’t you understand a simple request? You owe your income and position
today mostly to me. Are you not willing to show me some respect?”
“Mr. Jonathan, I want to help you, but I don’t have the authority to do what
you ask. If I were to do it, it would tarnish the reputation of Serenity Resort,
and the boss would fire me-” Despite her swollen face, Eleanor still refused
to compromise. Deep down, she knew that these spoiled rich youngsters
