"Calvin, don't be mad. If you don't bring them in, they can't go in, Judy gently persuaded Calvin.
Elvira frowned. She wasn't afraid of embarrassing herself but worried about Zach. She ignored Calvin and Judy and grabbed Zach to go.
Zach didn't move. Instead, he walked into the restaurant with Elvira. Elvira grabbed Zach's sleeve anxiously. "We aren't members and we don't have a reservation."
"Don't worry," Zach reassured as he confidently walked into the restaurant. No one stopped them.
Elvira felt both puzzled and surprised.
Calvin frowned. He asked a nearby staff, "Don't you need to check our membership at the entrance?"
"Yes, sir," the staff replied respectfully.
"How come they just walked in then?" Calvin questioned, pointing at Zach and Elvira.
The staff thought, 'That's because the owner specifically instructed they could. They must also be given the best treatment. The staff answered vaguely, "Special circumstances. He couldn't reveal more or he'd be fired.
Judy frowned. She turned to enter but the staff stopped her. "Sorry. I got word that the whole restaurant is reserved for this afternoon. We're not receiving guests."
"What? Does that mean Elvira and her husband will be kicked out too?" Judy was thrilled. She loved to see Elvira humiliated. "I'm not sure. I'm only obeying instructions. As compensation, you'll have 20% off on your next bill, the staff was polite but firm. Calvin was unhappy but didn't dare to cause trouble. Her membership was bought at a high price by his father. If he lost it, his father would kick his ass. The membership card was a symbol of status in Jersten.
Soon, all the diners were told to leave. Although upset, none dared to complain and left.
When nearly everyone was gone, Judy still hadn't seen Elvira and Zach, Judy couldn't help but ask, "Why aren't Elvira and Zach out yet?
"I wouldn't know. Perhaps you can call her," the staff replied expressionlessly.
Calvin was frowning. The only one who could book the whole restaurant and kick everyone out must be incredibly powerful.
It couldn't be Zach
Judy looked bad. She wouldn't allow Elvira to get the better of her. She tried to call Elvira but couldn't get through,
"Don't bother. That guy is probably a waiter here so Elvira could stay." Calvin stated.
Judy accepted that gladly. She grinned and hugged Calvin's arm. "You're right. Elvira's so pitiful to have married him. We must introduce someone wealthier to her."
"You're so nice to her but she's never grateful. Forget about her. Calvin didn't want Elvira to find someone better than him. Luckily, Zach seemed to be dependent on Elvira and was nothing compared to a wealthy heir like him. Judy and Calvin left.
Judy took one last look at t the restaurant. She seemed to see Elvira sitting in the best spot in the middle of the restaurant. Zach must have arranged it to satisfy Elvira's vanity. Zach was too much.
Judy and Calvin hoped Elvira's life would worsen. So, even when faced with the truth, they refused to admit it.
Elvira and Zach sat at the best spot in the restaurant, and the manager personally attended to them. Elvira felt unreal. When the other guests were escorted out, she whispered, "Something seems to be happening. Shall we go somewhere else?"
"Relax. Order whatever you want." Zach calmly ordered a few signature foods.Content rights belong to Nôdaisynovel.com.
The manager nodded and noted down the order. Since no one was chasing them away, Elvira ordered her favorites too. When everyone cleared out, Elvira asked curiously, "How can you get in without a membership?"
*Remember the two men with me just now?" Zach questioned.
Elvira nodded.
"They owned this restaurant. That's how I got in, Zach explained.
"Your friends are impressive," Elvira remarked in astonishment.
"There's more to it. They're involved in various fields," Zach told her, thinking about all the places he could take her in the future. He decided to lay the foundation so Elvira wouldn't be suspicious.
"How did you guys meet?" Elvira asked curiously.
"They got into a serious car accident and I happened to pass by and rescue them. Since then, we are good friends." Zach wasn't lying. He did save Samson and Spike in an accident, but when he was a teenager. Both of them willingly followed Zach wherever he went since.
"You were about to say something about your dreams just now. What was it? Zach changed the topic, afraid of accidentally revealing too much. He remembered that Elvira looked sad.
"Let's not talk about the past. Let's eat. Kicking ass takes a lot of energy." Elvira changed the topic too.
Zach didn't press further. He believed that Elvira would open up to him eventually.
The food in the restaurant was superb. It was so delicious that Elvira ate more than usual.
Before leaving, Zach pulled the manager aside and told him to revoke Calvin's membership. Zach didn't want to see Calvin there anymore.
Without hesitation, the manager immediately did it.
