Percy noticed that the manager looked anxious and dared not to take the credit card from him. He frowned and repeated again, "The bill, please!"
"Yes, sir!" The manager had no choice but to take Percy's credit card. "A moment, please."
After taking Percy's card, the manager walked out of the private room, signaled to the waitress, and instructed her in a low voice, "Go check the women's restroom and see what happened to the mirrors!"
"The mirrors?" The waitress was puzzled. What could be wrong with the mirrors?
"Just go and check," the manager instructed firmly.
"Yes." The waitress dared not to delay any longer. She practically jogged over, heading to the women's restroom.
As she pushed the door open, she looked at the sink area. When she saw the mirrors, she could not help but be surprised.
The perfectly fine mirrors had been smashed to pieces!
The waitress quickly glanced around. There were no tools around that could have smashed the mirrors, and there was no bloodstain around the area. They definitely were not smashed by hand.
She felt puzzled and hurried back to inform the manager, "Manager, the mirrors have been smashed."
"How could the perfectly fine mirrors crack?" The manager did not pay attention to what the waitress said. He only thought that the mirrors had cracked.
The waitress shook her head and repeated, "Manager, they're not cracked. I think someone used something to smash them!"
"The mirrors were smashed?" The manager was dumbfounded for a moment. Was it not said that the mirrors cracked with just a touch?
However, Percy's wife did not have a reason to smash their mirrors. He shook his head, glanced at the credit card in his hand, and decided to set the matter aside for now.
He walked to the cashier counter. Then, he said, "Give a 10% discount for Room 10. Oh, and add the price of the mirrors in the women's restroom."
"Yes, sir." Even though the cashier was confused, she still took out the restaurant's price list, glanced at it, and calculated the price to process the payment.
After the payment was made, the manager took the credit card and walked back.
The waitress asked, "Manager, what should we do about the restroom mirrors?"
"Contact the store. Have them send new ones to replace them. We can't leave the broken mirrors be. It’ll affect the image of the restaurant. It's best to have them fixed tonight."
The manager instructed the waitress, then took the credit card and the receipt into the private room.
In the private room, the four people were still sitting there. They had lost interest in discussing matters because of what Karen did.
The manager entered the room with a forced smile on his face. "Mr. Mallory, please sign this bill."
Percy glanced at the bill handed to him. The price must have included the cost of the mirror. He signed his name on the bill.
The manager noticed that Percy did not ask about the price. He let out a sigh of relief and handed back the credit card.
After receiving it, Percy gave a meaningful look to Luke. "I haven't had enough to drink today. After I finish handling Mallory Corporation’s matters, let's drink together again."
"Okay." Luke also stood up and left with them.
The manager escorted the four of them to the entrance. After they left, he brought the waitress to the women's restroom. He first made sure there was no one inside before entering.
When he entered the restroom, he finally saw the mirrors. As the waitress had said, they did not look cracked but rather like they had been smashed.
