“What?” Charlotte hesitated for a moment, then looked up to see the previously aloof middle-aged man standing at the door, now wearing a smile and gazing at them.
“It’s me!” she managed to say, forcing the words out.
Georgia and Brian’s faces were filled with envy and resentment. Even they got thrown out by this manager. Who knew what this grim-faced middle-aged man would do to Charlotte?
Georgia and Brian wore expectant expressions. The sudden burst of anger from the general manager might lead to Charlotte getting slapped.
However, what happened next left them all dumbfounded!
“Swoosh-” Everyone, including the general manager, bowed respectfully to Charlotte.
“Welcome, Miss Pittman, to our Galaxy Restaurant!”
“We have prepared the best VIP room for you. Please follow me.”
Witnessing their respectful demeanor, Charlotte was left speechless. What on earth was happening?
She had become a VIP at the Galaxy Restaurant? And every single manager, including the general manager, came to welcome her like this!
Georgia and Brian’s minds were buzzing. They had intended to witness Charlotte’s embarrassment, but what they saw next…
“Aunt, what’s going on?” Brian was astonished. “Did they make a mistake? How could they…?”
“Miss Pittman is a respected guest of my boss,” the middle-aged woman said. “I don’t know how you offended my boss, but from now on, don’t come back, or you’ll embarrass yourself again.”
Although Brian was her nephew, securing her job was her priority.
The new boss would soon establish his authority. Since he was targeting the two of them, she didn’t have the courage to defend them.
The two were dumbfounded and frustrated, as if they had swallowed a dead fly.
Quentin chuckled, “I told you that you wouldn’t be allowed through this door. Now, do you believe me? Go away, you’re being a nuisance.”
“Is this your doing?” Brian and Georgia were fuming.
“What do you think?” Quentin sneered, taking Charlotte and leading her inside.
Charlotte felt like she was dreaming. After being suppressed by Georgia for so long, she finally had a chance to hold her head high. And it was all thanks to Quentin?
“How did you do this?” She was curious. “The owner of Galaxy Restaurant is a multimillionaire. How did you manage to get in good with him?”
Quentin chuckled inwardly. Now, he was the real owner of Galaxy Restaurant, but he simply said, “My parents had rendered him a favor in the past, so he repaid me.”
Charlotte nodded, but cautioned, “Don’t do things like this in the future. Asking for favors ought to be reserved for critical moments.”
“Understood.” Quentin nodded with a smile.
“Oh, my family are still inside…” Charlotte said. “I shouldn’t have let you misunderstand earlier. I didn’t want to attend this dinner, but Eric saved our lives, so I couldn’t decline.”
“Moreover, he’s from the Spencer family, wealthy and influential. I don’t want you to confront him head-on. There will be consequences if you offend him.”
“Even if you don’t care about yourself, you should consider me and the children, right?”
Hearing this, Quentin felt touched. It seemed like Charlotte was gradually accepting him.
But…
“He saved us?” Quentin was puzzled.
“Yes, those soldiers were called by him.”
Hehe! Upon hearing this, Quentin was instantly furious. Eric had some nerve! Daring to claim credit for his actions?
As they spoke, Eric and Charlotte’s family emerged from inside… Quentin silently sneered to himself. Today, he was going to slap Eric’s face hard!
Who did he think he was to eye his woman? He’s had it coming.
