Chapter 334
Alexander said it in such a delicate way that Johan‘s answer did not matter anymore. It was undeniable that the latter was frustrated and embarrassed.
Because both of them were famous big shots in Tissote, the atmosphere became tense and suffocating at once with the two men in a stalemate.
Fortunately, the waiter was observant and quickly went to inform the manager upon perceiving the awkward situation.
Since the manager was also a shrewd lady, she knew that could not afford to offend either party. So, she thought of a way to separate them. “Mr. Olson, your client is still waiting for you.”
Initially, Johan was still thinking about how he should put this to an end, and the opportunity soon came. Despite feeling pleased inwardly, he still feigned an impatient look as he cast a side glance at the manager with a long face before looking at Alexander again. “Mind you. No one will forever be on a roll. You‘re just lucky today but we‘ll wait and see,” Johan gritted his teeth and warned Alexander.
Thereafter, he put his arm around his companion‘s waist and left.
Meanwhile, the manager and waiter stood aside with their heads lowered. It was only after Johan and the woman had walked away did they go up to apologize to Alexander. “I‘m so sorry for the interruption, Mr. Griffith. Your meal will be on the house today. Besides, I‘ll ask the waiters to send another bottle of first–class wine. Please forgive us and don‘t take it to heart.”
Alexander had no intention to put the manager in a difficult position to begin with, so he looked down and nodded. “Mm–hmm.”
Hearing that, the manager curled her lips slightly and was overjoyed. “I shall excuse myself first then.”
As she said that, she gave a look to the waiter behind her, and the two quickly left.
On the other hand, Elise had been observing this female manager‘s performance and realized she was very sharp, so she couldn‘t help praising her. “This manager is rather observant–she knows it‘s worse to offend you than Johan.”
Hearing that, Alexander smiled faintly and went back to his seat. “Do you think she‘s just a manager?”
Elise was confused. “Isn‘t she?”
Seeing that Elise had already finished half of her dessert, Alexander put his beside her. “To be precise, she‘s actually the owner of this restaurant.”
Surprised, Elise couldn‘t help but look toward the direction where the manager left again.
In the restaurant they were currently dining in, one meal could easily cost up to ten thousand. Hence, it was deemed as a restaurant of the highest standard in Tissote. With that said, the female manager was indeed extraordinary to have this kind of achievement at such a young age.
“Let‘s drop this topic.” Alexander was not too interested in other people‘s matters, so he switched the topic. “Do you feel like getting revenge?”
“What?” Elise was stunned for a moment.
Alexander lifted his brows and did not explain further.
Elise looked at his expression and understood at once. Then, she waved her hands about and rejected him. “I didn‘t take it to heart.”
After saying that, Elise thought something was not right, so she quickly added, “However, a jerk like him indeed deserves a lesson.”
While Janice was alone staying in the hospital, Johan was swaggeringly having a good time out here. Anyone who saw this situation would want to teach him a lesson.
Elise was not a busybody, but she would readily lend a helping hand to a stranger who was faced with injustice, let alone Janice.
