Summer was now working for Zeke in the management of the Grand Millenium Hotel, which was under Linton Group.
When Zeke had been condemned by his old classmates Dylan and Olivia last time, Summer had put in a good word for him. Out of gratitude, Zeke had given her one percent of Grand Millenium shares.
Summer was now standing behind a breakfast stall selling food, which surprised Zeke.
He wondered why she was here selling breakfast when the one percent shares of Grand Millenium Hotel she owned was worth at least ten million.
As if reading Zeke’s mind, Summer explained, “Mr. Williams, this isn't my stall, it’s my mom's. She left to deal with something, so I'm helping her look after it. Don't worry, she'll be back soon. I won't be late for work.”
Nodding his head, Zeke asked, “Your mom, Ruby? Isn't she a teacher teaching the Chinese language? Why is she selling breakfast now?”
Summer's face clouded over. “Alas, my mom has offended the school principal and was framed by him for accepting gifts from the parents of the students. So, she was expelled. In order to make ends meet, she has to come here to sell breakfast.”
After being lost in thought for a while, Zeke suggested, “Do you want me to ask the school to clear your mom's name?”
“Thank you for your kindness Mr. Williams, but there's no need for that,” Summer declined with a smile.
She knew Zeke's influence was mainly in the business field and that he only had a few acquaintances in the education field. Hence, she didn't want to put Zeke in a tight spot.

Without taking it personally, Zeke replied, “Okay. Just let me know if you need my help.” He added, “By the way, I wanted to talk to you about my new acquisition, The Nightingale—”
He was about to ask Summer to take over The Nightingale, but to his surprise, Summer suddenly put her arm through his.
Zeke was taken aback.
Summer said nervously, “Can you please do me a favour and be my boyfriend, Mr. Williams?”
Zeke was lost for words.
So it seems girls nowadays are so straightforward... They can simply ask a man to be their boyfriends in broad daylight.
It's true that a man must learn how to protect himself when he's outside.
Zeke hurriedly refused, “Summer, you know I have a wife.”
“No, Mr. Williams, you've misunderstood me. I'm just asking you to pretend to be my boyfriend for just a while. Look at the two people heading here. That woman is my mom, and the younger-looking fat man is the man my mom wants to introduce to me. I don't like that Humpty, but my mom insists I marry him. If you don't help me now, my mom will surely force me to be engaged to him. I'd rather die than marry that Humpty.”
Zeke looked in the direction where Summer was pointing and saw her mother, Ruby Baxter, approaching them with a potbellied man.
After the potbellied man said something, Ruby was smiling from ear to ear.
Without teking it personelly, Zeke replied, “Okey. Just let me know if you need my help.” He edded, “By the wey, I wented to telk to you ebout my new ecquisition, The Nightingele—”
