Chapter Eighty
At that moment, upon hearing what the security guard just said and seeing the determined, unwavering look on their faces, Elijah could tell with sinking certainty that these men were absolutely not going to back down any time soon. They were not going to change their minds or show him any special consideration, which put him in an incredibly disadvantageous position that he simply could not bear.The thought of enduring this level of public humiliation right in front of Patricia - right in front of the very woman he was desperately trying to impress and win over to his side - was absolutely unbearable. His entire carefully constructed image of power and influence was crumbling before her eyes, and he needed to do something dramatic to salvage the situation.Elijah straightened his shoulders and addressed the security guards with as much dignity as he could muster under the circumstances. “Fine, we will leave voluntarily,” he said, his voice carrying a warning tone that suggested this
Chapter seventy nine
Immediately upon hearing what his friend just said about having them escorted out like common troublemakers, Elijah's jaw tightened with a combination of rage, humiliation, and complete disbelief that their friendship was being thrown away over what he considered a simple favor.“Are you seriously kicking me out?” Elijah said, his voice rising with incredulous anger. “Are you literally kicking me out of this establishment just because I came to you asking for you to do this one little thing for me? Like, don't you understand how many sacrifices I've made for you over the years? Don't you even remember the history between our families?”His voice grew more threatening as he played what he believed was his strongest card. “Don't you know that it's because of my family's influence - my father's personal recommendation to the ownership - that you even got this manager position in the first place? What the hell has gotten into you that you would treat me this way after everything we've b
Chapter Seventy Eight
Immediately upon hearing what the manager had said and seeing that Elijah's grand display of influence had been completely torn down and rejected, Penelope couldn't help but feel a small smile creeping across her face despite her earlier anger and disappointment about losing her date.Yes, she had to admit that she was genuinely happy that Elijah couldn't deliver on his promises and connections the way he had boasted he could. While she was still hurt that Patricia had accepted his date proposal, seeing him fail so publicly meant that Patricia would show much less interest toward him going forward. This humbling experience was exactly what Penelope literally wanted to see happen, and everything was turning in her favor now in terms of diminishing Elijah's appeal.At that moment, Patricia also shook her head in deep disappointment, her shoulders sagging slightly as she realized that this avenue to reaching Jeremy was completely closed to her. She wasn't feeling disappointed because she
Chapter seventy seven
At that moment, upon hearing what the front desk lady just said in her calm, professional explanation of the events, the manager literally closed his eyes for a brief moment as he processed the information she had provided. When he opened them again, there was a look of understanding and resolution on his face that suggested he had reached a clear decision about this situation.Slowly, he nodded his head with the weight of someone who had heard enough evidence to make a fair judgment. Then he turned to face Elijah directly, his expression showing both regret about disappointing a friend and firmness about upholding his establishment's principles.“Well, I'm genuinely sorry to disappoint you, my friend,” the manager said with a tone that balanced personal friendship with professional responsibility. “But after hearing her explanation, I have to tell you that she didn't do anything wrong in this situation. What you and these ladies were requesting of her is simply and completely agains
Chapter seventy six
Elijah couldn't believe that his friend would literally be supporting this employee over him in this situation. His friend should have simply taken his word for what happened and fired her immediately without any questions or investigations, but instead he was insisting on hearing both sides of the story like some kind of impartial judge.This unexpected resistance made Elijah realize that because of his friend's hesitation to act decisively, Patricia might start to think that maybe he didn't have as much influence and connection at this establishment as he had claimed. That possibility made him deeply uncomfortable, since his entire arrangement with Patricia was built on the premise that he could solve her problems effortlessly through his powerful connections.But Elijah forced himself to remain outwardly calm despite his internal frustration, knowing that losing his temper further would only make him look less in control of the situation. He would let his friend conduct this little
Chapter seventy five
At that moment, hearing what Elijah just said about demanding immediate termination, the manager of Eat with Pride turned sharply to face the front desk lady with visible anger and disappointment written across his features. His voice carried the authority of someone who was genuinely upset about potentially losing an important client.“What the hell do you think you are doing?” the manager said angrily, his tone suggesting he was already prepared to side with his VIP friend without hearing the full story. “Why are you insulting a valued client like my friend here? This is completely unacceptable behavior from someone in your position!”At that moment, recognizing that she needed to explain the situation before it spiraled completely out of control, the front desk lady bowed her head politely in a gesture of respect toward her manager. She opened her mouth to begin providing her side of the story about what had actually transpired and why she had been forced to maintain the restauran
