Mireya was instantly filled with rage. “We reserved the room beforehand. Get yourself a booking if you want to dine here.” Manager Lorenz was at a loss of what to do. Both of them were young ladies from the affluent families of Melbourne. It would not be wise to offend either of them.
The corners of Janet’s lips formed a faint smile as she pointed at Rosabella.
“Manager Lorenz, I don’t have to tell you who Cindy is, but you probably have no idea about this lady over here. Her name is Rosabella Cox and her father is the president of Summit Building Design Group. She’s soon to be the heir of the company. As for that friend of Miss Lynch, she’s only but an unimportant assistant to Miss Cox over here.”
This took the manager by surprise.
The Summit Group was among the top 300 successful companies within the country. It was a name that everyone in Melbourne was familiar with.
Besides, Janet also came from an affluent family. In comparison, Mireya and her friend seemed to be on the weaker end.
Mireya retaliated. “An unimportant assistant? That one over there is but a shameless thief who likes stealing things belonging to others.”
There was a slight change on Rosabella’s face. Janet stared at the man with a grin on her face. “Do we have a room now, Manager Lorenz?”
“Yes, absolutely.”
Manager Lorenz decided within seconds. “Miss Lynch, I just remembered that I agreed to reserve a room for Miss Campbell before you… Um, please come again next time.”
Cate narrowed her eyes, fuming. “Manager Lorenz, do you take us as fools?”
Mireya rolled up her sleeves. “Do you think you can bully me? One phone call to my elder brother right now and your restaurant will shut its door within seconds.”
“Manager Lorenz, don’t worry. We’ll take full responsibility.” Rosabella grinned.
The manager felt confident with the support. “Miss Lynch, I’m just an employee. You can’t threaten me by pulling rank. Please leave right away and stop disrupting our customers.”
“What if I don’t? If I can’t have my meal here, then no one else can too.”
She picked up a vase within her reach and smashed it to the ground.
Emotions chased across the manager’s face in quick succession. “Get them out of here,” he instructed the servers nearby.
Before Cate could react, both she and Mireya were forcefully pushed out to the entrance by several strong men.
The servers were particularly rude to her. As she was wearing high heels, she lost her balance and fell to the ground.
In spite of that, the servers pretended not to notice and continued dragging her out of the restaurant before she could get to her feet.
Cate felt as if she was nothing more than a sack. Her arms and knees did not feel like hers anymore.
“Let her go!”
A man’s indifferent voice rang behind them.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Could it possibly be…
Cate lifted her head, but the server kicked her out of the restaurant before she could take a good look.
A tall and strong man suddenly approached with an aura of the warm sunlight. He appeared naturally elegant in his deep blue double-breasted blazer.
His facial features were unusually defined and good-looking. His dark deep-set eyes and thick long brows gave out an imposing manner.
Shaun Lyons…
This took her by surprise. Little did she expect to bump into this man so soon.
Not to mention at a time when she was looking so battered and disheveled.
Oh no, he already disliked her to begin with. He would probably propose a divorce right after this.
Chase stepped forward from the back and instantly recognized Cate.
He had seen the woman before in other banquets, not to mention she was one of the few publicly recognized beautiful women of Melbourne.
However, it was odd to see her in this distraught state.
A playful tease spread across his face. “Shaun, isn’t this your…” Shaun threw him a warning glance.
Chase left his sentence hanging in mid-air.
“Cate, are you alright?” Mireya managed to free herself from the server grabbing her and gave her friend a hand.
“I’m fine…” Cate stole a glance at Shaun.
Mireya recognized the man too. She knew he was handsome, but looking at him from a close distance under the light made her want to scream out in fascination.
Apart from her, Janet, Rosabella, and Cindy also had their eyes locked on that man. They had not seen such an incredibly good- looking man with such unique elegance.
Who was he? The brows on his forehead twitched into a silent frown before his dark eyes landed on the manager.
“Is this the way your restaurant treats women?”
Manager Lorenz was scared out of his wits. He had no idea who this man was, but his imposing manner was certainly intimidating. Besides, the man was accompanied by the famous Young Master Chase Harrison, whose name was known by every person living in Melbourne. The manager knew almost instinctively that he should not mess with them.
Just when he was cracking his head for a reply, Janet stepped forward with a smile.
“Young Master Harrison, this gentleman here must be a friend of yours. Well, I made a reservation with Manager Lorenz earlier to book a private room for a meal with a couple of my best friends. When we showed up, however, Miss Lynch and Miss Cox right here kept pestering the manager to give them the spot instead…”
“Janet, how shameless can you be? It was us who made the reservation. The three of you are the ones who acted irrationally,” Mireya argued, “Manager Lorenz thought it was easier to pick on us because we’re outnumbered.”
The manager spoke awkwardly, “Young Master Harrison, don’t listen to them. I did my job according to the restaurant’s rules.
These two women started making a scene, so I had no choice but to do so.”
Rosabella chipped in weakly, “Sis, I know you don’t like me much, but there’s no point making things difficult for Manager Lorenz.
He’s only doing his job.”
A smirk flashed across Cate’s face. “Do you ever get disgusted by your own hypocrisy?”
