Chapter: 126
“So what? We are Gold VIPs! Is he more distinguished than us? I am telling you to get rid of this person! This is an order!” James barked.
“Um…” The waiter looked uneasy.
“What? Are you going to disregard a Gold VIP? With such service, you better watch out. I have quite a mind to lodge a complaint against you!” Florence threatened.
“My apologies, but we do not have such rules here.” The waiter had his hands tied.
“Hmph! If you can’t make the call, get your manager here!”
“That’s right! Get the manager here! I’d like to see if he prioritizes this miserable man over his Gold VIPs!” Florence and James pressed unforgivingly. They were making a big show out of having a Gold VIP card. Even the other diners were throwing them dirty looks.
Under their persistent demands, the waiter dared not say more and rushed off to get the manager.
“Mom, what are the both of you doing?” Dahlia called out as she arrived. She was surprised to see Dustin. Why are you here?”
“I’m here for a meal, of course. Why else?” Dustin shrugged.
“This is quite a pricey place for a meal,” Dahlia reminded him.
“Oh, so you think I can’t afford to have a meal here too?” Dustin raised a brow.
“I didn’t mean that…” Just as Dahlia was about to explain herself, the waiter rushed back with the manager.
“I’m the manager here. Is anything the matter?”
“So you’re the manager? Great! There’s a man who sneaked in. I’m ordering you to get him out of here immediately!” James was swollen with arrogance.
“Sir, you must be mistaken. We have very strict security here. No one is able to sneak in,” the manager explained.
“And I’m telling you, there is! I’m warning you, we are Gold VIPs! If you do not want trouble, you best do as I “say!”
“That’s right! He’s affecting me and seriously ruining my appetite. I don’t care what you say, just get him out of here!”
Florence and James were throwing their weight around, not bothering to play nice. 1
“Could you please let me know who you are referring to?” the manager inquired.
“It’s him!” James pointed at Dustin.
The manager’s expression clouded over when he saw that.
“Excuse me, sir, please do not try to play the fool!”
“What? You’re defying me? We are Gold VIPs!” James glowered. He sounded like a broken tape recorder.
The manager simply scoffed at that.
“It doesn’t matter if you’re a Gold VIP. Even if you were the President of Stonia himself, it wouldn’t matter. Because this man here is the owner of Hillview Restaurant!”
