The waitress's polite attitude to Maximilian was a slap in the face to Sinclair and others. They never though that Maximilian was so influential.
He was just free of charge from 10 million because of his influence on Connor. That is so incredible.
Sinclair and the others were dumbfounded, wondering how the guy had known Connor. They could help thinking if Maximilian had really become rich and gone ahead of them.
They would never believe it if they hadn't heard it just now by themselves. Actually, some of them refused to accept it because that was too much to process.
"Pinch me and tell me this isn't real," one of Sinclair's fellows said to the one next to him.
The one then pinched him so hard that he screamed out.
Sinclair looked very embarrassed. It was supposed to be his show today. He should be in the limelight, but now Maximilian stole his thunder.
Carmen was extremely shocked. All of a sudden, Maximilian's figure became tall in his eyes. He wondered when this friend of his had become so rich.
"Are you kidding me? Why does he get to be Connor's friend? If a man like him can be Connor's friend, so can everyone."
Sinclair was the last to accept the fact. He had even suspected that Maximilian was colluding with the waiter, and they might be acting.
The waitress looked at Sinclair with disdain and said, "Please be polite. If you insult him again, I'll tell on you to Mr. Davies."
"No... please don't. I was joking." Sinclair was startle. He waved his hand and couldn't stop explaining.
He still wondered when Maximilian had become so lucky.
Those who were looking at Maximilian changed their attitude. They thought to themselves and wondered if they should go and cottoning up with him. Most of them were hesitating.
They were hesitating because Sinclair would definitely hate them for cottoning up with Maximilian. They had offended Maximilian before, so they were afraid that Maximilian would get back on them.
"I'm so flattered, to be honest," Maximilian smiled shyly.
He had to reconsider if he would go back to this place next time if Connor kept doing this.
"Mr. Davies said you can make yourself comfortable here, and there's nothing you should be concerned about," the waitress said with a smile.
Sinclair and the other people were now envying Maximilian for being so lucky.
Many of them tried to stand closer to him and cotton up with him. One asked, "Can I ask how you knew Connor? Can you teach us how to do that?"
They were sure that Maximilian must have some secret way to make friends with Connor, and if they would have nothing to fear in this city if they could learn the secret way.
Maximilian smiled and remained silent. Those people had seen the story, but they didn't have the full picture. If Maximilian had anything that could be called a "secret way", that would be who he was.
Seeing that Maximilian suddenly in the limelight, Sinclair was upset. He humphed, "he's just one of Conor's watchdogs."
However, Sinclair's fellows thought being Connor's watchdog would also be a nice job. They would be more than willing to do that if they had the chance.
The waitress told Connor about what had happened.
Connor was staying near this place for business negotiation. He got mad when he heard the news in which somebody called Maximilian his watchdog. That was serious insulting.
