Tangled Temptations novel Chapter 81

Harvey didn't respond.

Ravenna, not wanting to miss such an opportunity to show off, casually said to the principals, "I knew the manager of this restaurant. They agreed to give me a discount."

The principals praised her for being so capable.

Ravenna glanced at Harvey and continued, "This hotel doesn't give discounts to customers unless you have some serious connections."

Amid the surprised looks, Ravenna felt sure Harvey's attitude towards her would change.

She couldn't help but feel smug.

What did Eloise have besides her looks that could compare to her?

Just then, a male voice echoed from the entrance, "Harvey, so you're here!"

It was Mr. Hughes, the hotel's general manager.

Mr. Hughes warmly shook Harvey's hand, his tone full of familiarity, "I heard from my staff that you were here for dinner, and I couldn't believe such an important person would come to my little place. I came over to see, and it's really you!"

Harvey gave a slight smile, "Mr. Hughes, you're too kind!"

"Harvey, calling me Mr. Hughes made us sound distant! We've known each other for years."

Mr. Hughes' gaze shifted to Eloise.

Harvey introduced her, "This is my girlfriend, Eloise. She's here with me for the reunion."

Mr. Hughes bowed to Eloise and shook her hand.

As a businessman, he was naturally very tactful, "Ms. Laurent, not only are you beautiful, but you also have an exceptional demeanour."

Eloise acted very naturally.

Mr. Hughes owed Harvey a favour as Harvey had once helped him win a big case, saving his property and life. This was the perfect opportunity for him to return the favor. He used Eloise as an excuse, "This is my first time meeting Ms. Laurent. I didn't prepare any gifts. So, all the food and drinks today will be on the house."

A meal at such an expensive restaurant for free?

Eloise felt uneasy, afraid that Harvey would owe someone a favour.

But Harvey didn't hesitate to accept. He put his arm around Eloise's shoulder and laughed, "Thanks for your hospitality. I'll treat you to a meal another time."

Mr. Hughes knew Harvey was leaving. As an experienced man, he understood.

It was just a matter of affairs between men and women.
