My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1618

The person Nash just dealt with was clearly from a wealthy family. The hotel manager was most likely here to trouble Nash. Ryan knew the manager and hoped that he would spare Nash out of respect for him.

The manager placed his hands in front of him and lowered his head respectfully, "Mr. Calcraft, are you alright?"

Theo had told him that Nash was the Empire Hotel’s most valuable customer and that they would have to risk their lives to ensure his safety, even if the one causing trouble was the Fisher family of the Northwest.

Nash shook his head with a smile. "I'm fine. Please make me another steak."

"Of course, Mr. Calcraft!" The manager gave Ryan a deep look and then instructed the bodyguards, "Clean up over there, and don't disturb Mr. Calcaft’s meal."

The bodyguards went to tidy up the mess at Sixten's table. Two of them carried Horace out from the wreckage.

Ryan looked at Nash with a bit of awe. They had not seen each other for over a decade... What had Nash been through during that time? The manager had treated Nash with more respect than he even showed the person in charge of the Empire Hotel in the Northwest region.

Although curious about Nash's identity, Ryan did not ask anything as doing so might make him appear greedy.

"Here, Pup. Let's have a drink!" Nash lifted his glass, his face beaming with happiness. He had not attended school, so he never got the chance to experience having classmates and whatnot. His fondest childhood memories revolved around Pup, who was now sitting in front of him.

Ryan snapped out of his thoughts, raised his glass, and grinned. "Cheers.”

Regardless of their status, Pup would always be his old buddy who caught fish with him in Nash's heart.

Ryan smacked his lips after taking a sip. "No wonder it costs nearly a hundred thousand. The taste is just amazing!"

Nash refilled Ryan's glass. "If you like it, have as much as you want. I've got plenty for my good buddy!"

Ryan chuckled. "In that case, I won’t hold back.”

At that moment, Nash's phone rang. He was about to decline the call when he saw that Maverick was the caller. He had done Skadi a big favor before, and the favor had not been repaid.

"Nash, I'm really sorry. I've been stuck in meetings all day, so I missed your calls!" Maverick apologized sincerely.
