A lot of people in the IP&G rushed to a famous western restaurant in Zhonghuan.The restaurant was booked for tonight, and the chandeliers were shining.Everyone walked into the venue excitedly.
Several models of the production team were treated as platinum guests, and they couldn’t help feeling fluttered.
At 8.30 pm, everyone sat in an orderly manner.
The chefs in the restaurant were indeed world-class.
Everyone had a good time eating, drinking, chatting, and laughing.
“I heard that the restaurant serves no more than 30 times a year.It’s okay.It’s impossible to make an appointment without any connections.These dishes are developed by themselves.There’s no such food outside”
Several people whispered and turned their heads to the table on the most left side of the room.
Their shrill voices were lowered and they were rather excited, “He’s really here!”
Barbara was sitting at the very table, which was on the most left side of the room.She frowned and looked around unhappily.
The French chef in the restaurant also felt the burning gaze of others.
He glanced at the man beside him, picked up a glass of red wine on the table, and clinked it with him.
A deep laugh came from the chef’s throat, which sounded refreshing.
The chef spoke with influent Chinese, “Mr.Hopkins, Would you like to have meal in the inner room?”
Patrick didn’t say anything.He just picked up his glass and took a sip.
“Is the food not to your liking?” The stout and tall French chef asked enthusiastically.
Barbara had been paying attention to the man opposite her.She always felt that Patrick had been a little strange since he entered the restaurant.
Patrick looked calm and indifferent as ever, but Barbara always felt that he was absent-minded.Patrick seemed to have been looking around for something.
“Because someone didn’t show up”
The director with bushy beards was also sitting at the same table.
He cut a piece of beef and gave the French chef a thumbs-up, “Yummy!”
“There are only some people who don’t know how to behave properly.The dishes are ready for her, but she is even not willing to come, humph!”
Thinking of someone who was irritating, the director got furious and reckless.
“Who is it?”
The French were born with a romantic temperament.
The chef asked excitedly in his substandard Chinese accent, “Is it Mr.Hopkins’s lover?”
At this moment, Barbara interrupted in a hurry, “Where’s Charles Shepherd? Why didn’t he come?”
As soon as the French chef heard the name Charles Shepherd, he immediately changed the subject, “Mr.Shepherd, oh, by the way, why didn’t Mr.Shepherd show up tonight? I lost my suitcase in Tokyo last time.The police there had been searching for it all day and did not find a clue.We then asked his friends to help me find it.I want to thank him properly”
Charles, a playboy who was indulged in having fun, was indeed a master of connections.He always made a lot of friends no matter where he went.
Charles’s assistant, who was sitting at another table, was summoned over.
Looking at the big shots at this table, the assistant immediately reported the truth with trepidation.
“Mr.Shepherd originally said he was going to the hotel to pick up Miss Dickens, but half an hour ago, they suddenly changed their minds.Now they are heading to the temple street in Mong Kok, Kowloon.It seems that Miss Dickens is going to try the authentic snacks in Hongkong.”
“Oh”
Mr.Hopkins, who had been silent all this time, suddenly uttered an ambiguous “Oh.”
This young assistant was terrified.
The assistant then added nervously, “What I said just now is the truth.”
As he was afraid that others wouldn’t believe him, and he almost swore for this.But his extra words made the atmosphere in this room instantly heavy and tense.
No matter how dull the French chef was, he could feel something was wrong.
Suddenly, everyone was silent.
“Hello, Mr.Hopkins”
This delicate female voice suddenly came and broke the strange silence.
Renee was wearing a casual white shirt with jeans tonight, without asexy outfit nor a lot of makeup.
