Chapter 608


    Nancy was so touched that she teared.


    Mance was indeed filthy rich and powerful. This restaurant was a drop in the ocean for him.


    Wiping off her tears, Nancy said, “Mance, you are so good to me.”


    She then turned toward Zeke to save Mance’s ego.


    “Zeke, you could get order the manager around because you know each other. So what? Can you give


    Lacey such an expensive present? As far as I know, you haven’t even given her a proper present


    despite being together for a year. In the end, you’re just a useless kept-man. As a leopard will never


    change its spots, you can neverpare with Mance. Hmph, just you wait. The first thing Mance will


    do after buying this ce is to fire that manager friend of yours!”


    Zeke shot an angry nce at Nancy and cursed her in his heart.


    Mance is tricking you by pretending to be your hero.


    I am the genuine Hero.


    You must be blind to protect the fake one by insulting me.


    Ignoring Nancy, he looked at Lacey in earnest. “Lacey, do know today is the first anniversary of the day


    we met? I don’t really have much to give. If you really like this restaurant, I’ll give it to you as a present.”


    After all, the original reason he bought this Michelin-starred restaurant was so that it could provide


    breakfast for Lacey. Therefore, giving it to her made sense.


    Nancy burst intoughter.


    “Zeke, please be more conscious of your own status. Do you think you can do anything you want just


    because you know the manager? You actually think you can give this Michelin-starred restaurant


    away? Haha, even the manager is just an employee. Her sry itself wouldn’t be enough to afford a


    meal here. Please stop disgracing yourself by copying Mance’s idea. Think about whether you can


    afford it. You’re just blindly imitating him, sheesh!”


    Mance scoffed, “Doesn’t he have a mirror at home? He should reflect on his behavior more often.”


    Nancy burst into raucousughter. “Mance, I never knew you were so funny!”


    Meanwhile, Lacey blushed out of embarrassment.


    Every month, she gave Zeke eight thousand for his sry. Even if he spent nothing, he still wouldn’t be


    able to afford the restaurant.


    He had boasted about himself just to satisfy his own vanity.


    Taking a deep breath, she said, “Nancy, I’m done with the food. If there’s nothing else, we’ll take our


    leave first. You two lovebirds can have each other to yourselves.”


    Zeke grabbed her hand to stop her. “Lacey, don’t leave yet. I haven’t given you the present.”


    “Mia, what are you standing idly there for?”


    Regaining her senses, Mia left immediately.


    Lacey felt helpless and upset at the same time.


    What is wrong with Zeke? Why must he disgrace himself like that?


    Even if you wanted to get into a contest with Mance, shouldn’t you at least think whether you are


    capable enough first?


    After a short while, Mia the manager returned.


    She passed a bunch of documents to Lacey. “Ms. Hinton, this is a present from Mr. Williams.”


    “Present? What kind of present?” Lacey was puzzled.


    Zeke exined, “Today is the first anniversary of when we first met, so this is my present to you to


    celebrate the asion. Why don’t you see if you like it?”

    Nancy and Mance began to feel nervous.


    Can he really be the owner of the Michelin-starred restaurant? Isn’t that a transferal agreement?


    Both of them stared at Lacey without blinking.


    ncing through the documents, Lacey began to blush.


    The document was a love letter Zeke had written her.
