Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 15

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 15
Catherine lifted her head, but the server kicked her out of the restaurant before she could take a good look.

A tall and strong man suddenly approached with an aura of the warm sunlight. He appeared naturally elegant in his deep blue double-breasted blazer.

His facial features were unusually defined and good-looking. His dark deep-set eyes and thick long brows gave out an imposing manner.

Shaun Hill…

This took her by surprise. Little did she expect to bump into this man so soon.

Not to mention at a time when she was looking so battered and disheveled.

Oh no, he already disliked her to begin with. He would probably propose a divorce right after this.

Chase stepped forward from the back and instantly recognized Catherine.

He had seen the woman before in other banquets, not to mention she was one of the few publicly recognized beautiful women of Melbourne.

However, it was odd to see her in this distraught state.

A playful tease spread across his face. “Shaun, isn’t this your…”

Shaun threw him a warning glance.

Chase left his sentence hanging in mid-air.

“Cathy, are you alright?” Freya managed to free herself from the server grabbing her and gave her friend a hand.

“I’m fine…” Catherine stole a glance at Shaun.

Freya recognized the man too. She knew he was handsome, but looking at him from a close distance under the light made her want to scream out in fascination.

Apart from her, Janet, Rebecca, and Cindy also had their eyes locked on that man. They had not seen such an incredibly good-looking man with such unique elegance.

Who was he?

The brows on his forehead twitched into a silent frown before his dark eyes landed on the manager.

“Is this the way your restaurant treats women?”

Manager Lorenz was scared out of his wits. He had no idea who this man was, but his imposing manner was certainly intimidating. Besides, the man was accompanied by the famous Young Master Chase Harrison, whose name was known by every person living in Melbourne. The manager knew almost instinctively that he should not mess with them.

Just when he was cracking his head for a reply, Janet stepped forward with a smile.

“Young Master Harrison, this gentleman here must be a friend of yours. Well, I made a reservation with Manager Lorenz earlier to book a private room for a meal with a couple of my best friends. When we showed up, however, Miss Lynch and Miss Jones right here kept pestering the manager to give them the spot instead…”

“Janet, how shameless can you be? It was us who made the reservation. The three of you are the ones who acted irrationally,” Freya argued, “Manager Lorenz thought it was easier to pick on us because we’re outnumbered.”

The manager spoke awkwardly, “Young Master Harrison, don’t listen to them. I did my job according to the restaurant’s rules. These two women started making a scene, so I had no choice but to do so.”

Rebecca chipped in weakly, “Sis, I know you don’t like me much, but there’s no point making things difficult for Manager Lorenz. He’s only doing his job.”
