Chapter 16
"You''re just pretending, aren''t you? Who are you to have dinner in the Modern Restaurant?"
Lara Jean was very happy. She was angry that she had sacrificed herself for nothing just now. Now,
she was overjoyed to see Yvette Jordan despise Chuck Cannon.
Did he really think that by picking up a few trashy dors, he could forget the nature of being a poor
man? He was just a loser, it was hrious.
Conrad Lee''s face was contorted with a mixture of loathe and joy. Still pretending? He won''t be able
to any longer now!
"Chuck Cannon, you''ve disappointed me too much!" Yvette shook her head with disgust in her eyes.
She knew that he was working part-time at the agency, but was the money from his part-time job
enough for him toe here to spend? He was definitely lying to her!
What''s more, he was talking so big about spending money. In his own world of lies, he really would
not have any sess in his life. Yvette was truly disappointed!
It was the right decision to stop him from sleeping in her own bed.
"Well, guess what? You''ve also let me down!" Chuck shook his head.
She was just like a docile woman, speaking softly to Baller in such a soft and sweet tone, even
begging Baller toe meet her. However, towards himself, her attitude was so different just like
the difference between heaven and earth. She was always disappointed in him, like a vengeful
woman alwaysing after him.
If Yvette knew that the two people whom she faced with two different attitudes were actually him,
the same person, what would she think?
Chuck suddenly did not want to argue anymore.
"You''re disappointed with me? You''re not qualified to say that! Well, if you say you''re here for dinner,
where is the message for the VIP room reservation? Show me your proof!" Yvette retorted coldly.
"I don''t have any proof." Chuck shook his head.
"Have you ever been to a high-end ce? This kind of ce needs to be reserved, but you don''t
have to. You have the privilege, because you are the waiter here!" Lara did not miss any chance to
ridicule him.
"That''s right. It''s a privilege for you since a waiter justes in and cleans up the VIP room. At
least you cane in and go out at will. Unlike us, we have to make troublesome arrangements
just to reserve a seat to eat here. Chuck definitely has it much easier. You can juste in with a
dirty rag. Once you take off your clothes, you can pretend to be eating here. Just so simple! I envy
you." Conrad mocked.
"Teacher, he used his identity as a waiter here to simply call girls over, and even pretended to spend
money here as a customer. I only came because I felt he was pitiful, but who knew he was a person
like this! Teacher, let''s go. Ignore such trash!" Lara said to Yvette arrogantly.
Yvette was deeply displeased. "You don''t even have a reservation text message. How can you be
so self-righteous? You lie so naturally without even thinking it true. Remember, when you lie next
time, check it out first. This is no seat without a reservation. Do your research more, then your lies
will sound more legitimate."
After saying that, Yvette turned around and left.
Lara scowled at Chuck and pulled Conrad outside by his arms.
But precisely then, a tall and beautiful woman walked in confidently. Her red lips parted to reveal a
cool, unfazed voice. "Miss, who said that this is no seat here without reservation?"
"Who are you?" Yvette frowned. She did not know this woman, but this woman''s temperament told
her that she was not simple.
"Hello, my name is Zelda Maine!" The beautiful woman said.
"Zelda Maine? Are you the owner of this restaurant?" Yvette was surprised. She often invited
people out for dinner here. How could she not know this?
But what was she doing here?
"Yes." Zelda nodded. "Miss, our restaurant''s VIP guests don''t need to book. There will be seats for
them at any time."
"Well, I know that." Yvette nodded.
Lara couldn''t help sneering. Did the manager just say that Chuck is a VIP here?
How could it be possible?
She had never been here to spend money, but she also knew what conditions she needed to
be a VIP of a restaurant. First of all, the expenditure must reach their standard. For a
restaurant of this level, it would cost at least 300,000 dors to be a VIP!
Chuck had always been poor. It was only recently that his luck took a turn and he managed to pick
up some money, but it was only 20,000 dors. Even if he spent all of it, he was still far from the
standard of the restaurant''s VIP guests!
How could it be? She looked down on Chuck even more. Seriously, even if he asked other
employees to cooperate with his acting, he had to do some research on his own too!
Lara felt that now the word "VIP" had a derogatory meaning.
Hearing theughter, Zelda nced at Lara and asked gently, "Were you going toin about
our employees just now?"
"That''s right, it''s me! It''s so nice being a waiter here!"
Lara sneered, "A waiter actually managed to make other employees cooperate with him to lie to us,
even saying something like he was here just to eat..."
Yvette looked at Chuck disappointingly.
"So you think that this gentleman in front of you is a waiter here?" Zelda said calmly.
"Of course! Look at his clothes. He doesn''t look like a customer who can spend half a day here. He
is definitely a waiter. As a boss, I think you should severely punish staff with this kind of behavior!
He should be fired immediately!" Lara''s voice toned down, full of the pleasure of revenge!
"Sorry, I can''t do that." Zelda shook her head.
"As a boss, you still want to side with your employees in front of customers? Well, the way Modern
Restaurant deals with this really shows us customers some things. Isn''t the customer always right?
Now employees are godly correct instead? Haha, so rare!" Lara snickered.
"First of all, you are not our customer!" Zelda retorted calmly.
"You... Why do you say that I am not a customer here?" Lara was angry.
"Secondly, he''s not an employee here, but a VIP in our restaurant! That''s why I can''t fire him!" Zelda
nced at Chuck as she spoke.
Chuck was a little surprised.
Yvette''s expression changed, a hint of astonishment appearing on her pretty face! She couldn''t help
but gawk at Chuck, and she was even more surprised by him!
It was because she suddenly realized that Chuck was so calm. If he encountered such a situation
previously, he would have panicked and tried to look for help from others pleadingly. But, today was
different. It seemed that he had changed... He was weirdly confident.
"What''s going on?"
Lara widened her eyes and tried to cover up her shock, "Do you think I will believe it? People like
him, a VIP of your restaurant? Do you really think that I don''t know the standard for VIPs in your
restaurant? If you don''t spend hundreds of thousands of dors, you would never get the title of VIP.
If he is your VIP, then your restaurant is not as high-end as I thought, maybe even low-end!
Because if garbage like this can be a VIP of this restaurant, it means that you have
abandoned the word high-end."
Conrad chuckled slyly. She''s just adding oil to the fire. Why didn''t she fire Chuck earlier? What''s
there to pretend?
"You''re right. The VIP room needs arge sum of money, but this gentleman is my friend. As my
friend, can''t he be a VIP?" Zelda''s expression did not change, and her tone was still so indifferent.

Conrad was surprised that Chuck was Zelda''s friend. After all, his father was an interior designer
who did many high-end restaurants such as the one owned by Zelda. How could such a person
think that Chuck was a friend? Conrad found it incredibly impossible!
Yvette was surprised. She didn''t expect that Chuck''s words were true. He really came here for
dinner, so was she jumping to conclusions?
She examined Chuck once again, her eyes scanning his expression carefully. For some unknown
reason, she felt that he had suddenly changed. That confidence that he had was something she
had never seen before. Chuck was changing...
"Friends?"
Lara frowned and nced at Chuck. "You know such a friend? Look at his cheap clothes. Don''t you
think it''s a disgrace to know such a person?"
"I don''t think so." Zelda nced at Lara.
Lara was so angry that she clenched her teeth in frustration. How could it be possible? She didn''t
even know such a rich person, so how would Chuck know her? Lara was envious! After all, Zelda''s
politeness to Chuck obviously genuine! He really knew such a rich person!
Lara was going crazy!
"So this gentleman is a VIP, he doesn''t need a booking. How can I fire a VIP?" Zelda looked at
Yvette, but herst sentence was actually directed towards Lara. Lara''s face turned red. She felt so
embarrassed today!
Yvette was silent. "Well then, how do you two know each other?"
