Chapter 206 Demolish the Restaurant?
Once they had gotten to know each other, Lynette swiftly took Luna’s arm in hers and. commented, “Your hair color is really cool.”
“You can be cool like me, too.” Luna teased with a smile.
The two of them quickly became fast friends.
Lynette led them to a private dining room.
Abigail soon noticed that Eric and Josh were already seated upon entering the room. She couldn’t help but scrunch her brows at the sight of them.
“Abby, I was so thrilled to see you that I forgot to tell you we were having dinner together,” Lynette explained with a guilty expression.
Luna wasn’t surprised to see Eric but couldn’t hide her astonishment at seeing Josh.
“Miss Quinn! The great reveal was a real surprise. Anyway, good evening.” Eric greeted politely with his trademark warm smile as he rose to his feet.
Josh also quickly followed suit and pulled out two chairs.
At this point, Abigail couldn’t simply walk out.
Even if their relationship had soured beyond repair, adults in the real world had to endure any discomfort when necessary.
“Good evening. I didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence,” Abigail said as she walked into the private room.
“That’s right,” Eric replied and sat back down while maintaining a friendly expression.
Lynette stood to the side and asked, “Shall I go buy some coffee for you all?”
“No, thank you.” Abigail declined.
“I can’t drink coffee at night; it keeps me awake. So, I’ll have to pass on that offer as well. Thank you, though,” Luna said graciously as she removed her mask and wore a bright smile.
After Lynette left, Luna’s gaze unintentionally fell on Josh’s face.
He looked too similar…
“I was quite shocked by the online situation. I never expected you to be Alana. I always thought you were just a simple assistant.” Eric initiated the conversation.
Abigail simply acknowledged with a faint hum. It was clear that she wasn’t interested in saying
more on the matter.
Josh, who was sitting next to her, naturally poured her a cup of tea.
“What would you like to eat?” he asked Abigail with concern.
Abigail quickly sensed that he might not have given up on her being a part of the Pearsons just yet upon hearing his question.
However, she didn’t want to open that particular can of worms with Luna present.
“Just order whatever you like, as long as it’s delicious,” Abigail replied coldly.
“All right.” Josh nodded and carefully examined the menu.
“Sir, please don’t put me in a difficult position. This restaurant has been reserved by the Pearsons, and they have invested a great deal of shares in this establishment. I’m just an employee, and I truly can’t allow you entry,” the general manager bitterly explained his situation to Sean.
Why was it the Pearsons again?
Sean narrowed his eyes.
The Pearsons had always been rather mysterious and elusive whenever they conducted their affairs. So, what was their connection to Abigail?
Why did they always appear wherever she was around?
“Mr. Graham doesn’t intend to dine in your restaurant. He’s here to meet someone,” Cameron explained to the general manager.
“I’m sorry, but the Pearsons have instructed that they have booked the entire restaurant for the night, and no one else is allowed to enter,” the general manager said in resignation.
Sean sneered. “So, you’re saying that if I want to meet someone in this restaurant today, I’ll have to demolish the entire place?”
The general manager looked uneasy as he said wearily, “Please give me some time to make a phone call.”
“Make the call here,” Cameron said with a stern expression, and his demeanor was as cold as ice.
Sean regarded the general manager with a mirthless smile, causing the manager to break out in a
cold sweat.
He trembled as he took out his phone and dialed Lynette’s number.
These outrageous blue-blooded… They either threatened his livelihood or tried to go for broke by straight up suggesting they would demolish his restaurant. Just who on Earth was that person that they were willing to go to such lengths for?
