Chapter 134
Allison stood behind Sarah She’d always thought Sarah was always playing by the book. But she never imagined that Sarah would go to bat for her this time.
“Ms Sarah”
Sarah turned her head glanced at her, then shook her head
Allison held her tongue
Darlene was hell bent on stiming the pot today. Serena quickly arrived, and upon seeing Darlene, her face took on a sycophantic expression: “Ms. Bray”
Darlene’s mom often hung out here playing cards, and Serena was a pro at sucking up and pretty familiar with a few of the wealthy ladies.
Darlene, high and mighty, pointed at Sarah and said, “You work with this manager, right? Give us some justice. That waitress tried to seduce my boyfriend, and I caught her red handed. I want her to apologize to me. That’s not too much to ask, right?”
Serena had been looking for a bone to pick with Saral; and immediately chimed in, “Definitely not too much. Allison, when you’ve messed up, you should apologize. An apology to Ms Bray is the least punishment you deserve After you apologize, you can take a hike. Red Jack Club doesn’t need a waitress like you‘
“When did it become your place to discipline my staff? Sarah’s face took on a serious look, giving Serena no face.
Serena wasn’t pissed off, she chuckled and said, “Sarah, you’ve really changed. You can’t even manage your own staff. If you’re too swamped, I can lend a hand“”
Sarah looked at Serena and said, “I don’t need you to lift a finger”
Suddenly, the door to the private room was pushed open from outside. Lucian walked in, with James following behind.
The man scanned the room with a detached look, his gaze eventually landing on Allison’s red and swollen face.
Lucian murmured, “What happened?”
Serena look a good look at the man and felt a strong sense of pressure that made it impossible for her to keep her fake smile. This guy must be someone special.
She gathered her thoughts, then said, “Sorry to bother you This waitress tried to seduce Mr. Kelvin, and Ms. Bray caught her. Ms. Bray asked her to apologize
Darlene looked at Lucian and said, “Mr Lindbergh, you may not be aware of how scandalous this woman’s behavior is! A shameless waitress trying to seduce Mr. Kelvin! She made a move on him, even though I was present. If I hadn’t been there, I imagine they would have gone even further.”
Allison suddenly felt her throat hurt Every breath she took was painful. She just wanted to get the hell out of this room.
Lucian’s gaze felt like a mountain pressing on her chest. She lowered her head and bit her lip.
Today was Kelvin’s 27th birthday. He was in a good mood, but the way things turned out really pissed him off.
He looked at Darlene and said, “I already told you, it was an accident. The waitress accidentally spilled wine on me. Why are you making such a big fuss? Okay, let’s just leave it at that”
Darlene suddenly shouted, “I’m making a big fuss? Kelvin, I think you’ve fallen for this woman! No wonder you were making googly eyes at her. What do you mean by ‘an accident? I saw her rush towards you! Kelvin, I’m breaking up with you!”
Kelvin didn’t expect Darlene to be so unreasonable. She was hell–bent on blowing this out of proportion. Today was his birthday, but now he couldn’t save face at all. “Break up then! Do you really think I’m that into you?”
Darlene’s eyes bulged. She was so angry that her chest was heaving. She never thought Kelvin would actually break up with her. They’d been together for over a year; both families were familiar with each other, and they were even planning to get engaged. Today, he was breaking up with her over a shameless waitress.
In a fit of rage, she stormed over to Allison, grabbed her hair, and kicked her leg hard with her high heels. Allison’s face turned pale from the pain.
“You little tramp! How dare you seduce my man!” Darlene raised her hand, ready to give her a good beating, but her hand never reached Allison’s face.
A strong hand grabbed her wrist, and the man’s voice was low, “Enough!”
A chill ran down Darlene’s spine. She looked at Lucian and said, “Mr. Lindbergh.”
