Hearing Victoria’s voice, Maximilian hurriedly hinted Deacon and president Bobby.
They were all clever enough to figure out that Maximilian didn’t want Victoria to know his real identity.
Both of them nodded at him, suggesting they understood what he meant.
“I was chatting with two friends who I just knew. They are running restaurant business and I was asking them how to make meals.”
Victoria looked at them and got a bit confused about their dress.
“I used to be the executive chief. My apprentices are now in charge of the state banquet. Just learn with me and I promise you will be a good cook.” President Bobby said with a smile.
Deacon posed a cutting gesture, “You can start by chopping. Just follow our instruction and practice. As long as you work hard, it’s not a problem to open a small restaurant.”
Maximilian stood up upon seeing their acting, “Thank you for telling me these. We can talk later.”
“Yes, we have to leave now. See you next time.”
President Bobby left together with Deacon. Victoria watched them leaving and asked, “Are you going to open a restaurant by learning how to cook?”
“No, I just want to improve my cooking skill so I can cook more fancy dishes for you.”
Victoria smiled and glanced at him, then she continued, “I am going to have dinner with some important clients and meet the boss of a pharmaceutical company in the provincial capital to popularize our products. Can you accompany me to wait for them?”
“Ok.” Maximilian followed Victoria to stand in front of the Zachary Restaurant. Then they saw a few Mercedes-Benz driving in and stopped at the front door.
President Noah, President Burke and President Chase got off from the car on by one.
President Chase walked towards them in a fast speed. His slightly obese belly shook, showing his glowing LV belt under the light.
The LV belt decorated with diamond was his most proud accessory. He thought this was a proof of his noble identity.
President Burke and President Noah, who were wearing first-class clothes, followed him behind with smile and walked towards Victoria. When they saw Maximilian, they showed contemptuous expression.
“You come here really early. We are flattered for letting you wait for such a long time.”
“Never mind. We are partners and are equal.” Victoria answered politely.
“Definitely. But I think there is no use to bring him here. We’re going to discuss a big deal. Why did you bring such a loser? Aren’t you afraid that President Mccarthy will mistake you?”
President Burke glanced at Maximilian and said, “He is a person who acts vigorously. And he especially doesn’t appreciate those people who don’t have efficiency. I think it’s better foryou to let him leave.”
“Although we are going to have dinner, our real purpose is to talk about business. It’s inappropriate to bring your relative. If we are going to hold a victory banquet, it’s fine for you to bring him here.” President Noah said.
Victoria was embarrassed upon hearing their words.
However, considering that they were her partners, she could only let Maximilian leave first.
Victoria looked at him. He shrugged and said with a smile, “Then I will go back now.”
Seeing Maximilian’s lonely figure, Victoria felt hurt.
Manager Whitney was sensible and knew Maximilian wanted to come over to listen to their conversation.
“Bring me there.” Maximilian said.
“Yes.” Manager Whitney brought him upstairs and served him a glass of tea.
Maximilian shook his hand. Manager Whitney left and closed the door.
President Mccarthy and the others had already greeted each other. President Mccarthy and President Chase sat beside Victoria, and President Burke and Noah sat opposed to them.
“Victoria, I appreciate you so much. You’re an independent lady and have the strength to make efforts on your job. The most important thing is that you are so gorgeous. I was attracted by you the first time I met you. You’re my cherished lover in dreams.”
President Mccarthy was drunk and wanted to grab Victoria’s hand.
Victoria retreated her hand and said coldly, “President Mccarthy, please be respectful.”
“Respectful? You think I am not respectful. I am holding on for you for days. I tell them to invest for you as you want, and bring the contract to meet you when I know you want to promote your products. I have already done so many things for you.”
President Mccarthy answered madly, thinking Victoria was ruthless to him.
“I will only pay such a price for a pretty woman like you. If it were others, I will only provide them with hundreds of thousands of dollars a month. I really love you. The whole world can witness this.”
President Mccarthy reached out his hands to touch Victoria’s face. Victoria dodged him and shouted, “I am sorry. You’re drunk. I will go out to pay the bill.”
