Those few restaurants are among H City's most famous and one has to make a reservation half a month in advance. How is it possible to get all those items within just half an hour?He is obviously messing with me.
"By the way..." Ben turned around to add, "If you don’t get them within half an hour, please be prepared to be transferred to the janitorial department.”
Charlotte felt the urge to clench her fists and scream, "I quit!"
Just when her lips moved, the words were stuck in her throat.
At that moment, Zachary had entered the elevator. When he turned around, he smiled deviously at her.
"I..."
Before she could say anything, the elevator door closed.
Shutting her eyes tightly and gritting her teeth, she screamed at herself for being useless.
"Charlotte, Charlotte!" David's voice broke her train of thought. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Charlotte felt like crying. "I should have just shut up. Why did I offer to buy the Devil breakfast?"
"The Devil? Do you mean Mr. Nacht?" David became nervous at once. "Don't let anyone catch you saying that or you will be finished. Next time, you shouldn't call him that."
"Now what do I do?" Charlotte was on the brink of tears. "To buy all those items in half an hour is just
impossible."
"I haven't even heard about those things before." David gave her a sympathetic look. "I have not been to such high-end places before. Usually, we eat at the restaurant on the seventh floor."
"Is there a canteen on the seventh floor?" Charlotte was surprised. "Before this, I only ate at the one on the twenty-first floor."
"The restaurant on the seventh floor serves local food while the one on the twenty-first floor serves international cuisine. Most of the white-collared staff like you flock to the twenty-first floor while blue-collared workers like us go to the seventh floor..."
"I know what to do."
Charlotte rushed into the elevator as she knew there was no time to waste. After all, she only had
half an hour.
When she arrived at the restaurant on the seventh floor, she got the chef to prepare pizzas, beef sandwiches, and a few other items.
After that, she went to the twenty first floor to get coffee.
