Chapter 711


    Meanwhile, Emmanuel drove the Gomezes in his Maserati to the Serenity


    Resort.


    “My, Mr. Lowe, this car of yours must be quite expensive.” Edith knew the least


    about Emmanuel. He appeared so easygoing when he came over to theirs


    that she thought he was just an ordinary boy. Little did she expect him to


    drive such a luxurious car.


    “Well, I don’t really know the price. The car isn’t mine. I’m just the driver, haha…


    Emmanuel responded with a candid smile.


    Rhea, sitting in the passenger seat, liked this side of him. During her school


    days, she had encountered numerous guys who loved to show off, especially


    when borrowing someone else’s car-they would act all high and mighty.


    Emmanuel, however, was different from those guys.


    “By the way, Rhea, there’s something I’d like to ask you.” Emmanuel, who was


    driving leisurely, decided to discuss his cousin’s matter.


    “Oh? What about?” Rhea was secretly stealing nces at Emmanuel’s profile


    when he suddenly started talking to her. She quickly turned her face away


    and blushed.


    “Well, it’s about my cousin, Ryder…” Emmanuel briefly exined the situation,


    even mentioning the part about pretending to be Tia’s boyfriend for a day.


    He wasn’t going to be direct and ask Rhea if she’d be willing to go on a blind


    date with Ryder. Instead, he wanted to learn how to help Ryder get closer to


    Tia.


    “Oh, this isn’t too difficult!” Rhea, wanting to y the role of a love guru for


    Emmanuel, had been reading quite a few bookstely. She immediately


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    offered advice, “Since she willingly asked you to be her boyfriend, it means


    she has feelings for you. Just try to find opportunities to ask her out and invite


    your cousin as well. This will give them a chance to build a connection.


    “Of course, you have to be subtle in how you ask a girl out, or else she might


    sense your intentions and be reluctant toe. But don’t worry. I’ll give


    you a detailed strategy when I get back tonight!”


    Emmanuel was immediately boosted by her suggestions. Even though this


    might consume a fair amount of his time, he couldn’t disregard the fact that


    Ryder was like a blood brother to him.


    Soon after, the four of them arrived at Serenity Resort,


    They had reserved VIP Suite 888, but the one guiding them to their room


    wasn’t the head manager Eleanor, but rather a female receptionist.


    Upon reaching the entrance of Suite 888, they noticed amotion.


    “Please don’t get upset just yet, Mr. Verkade. I’ll immediately talk to the guests


    who reserved this room and ask them to cancel their reservation!” Eleanor


    appeared slightly flustered, trying to appease Jonathan Verkade with a


    smile.


    However, Jonathan maintained his usual arrogant attitude, “Why even bother


    asking? Just tell them their reservation is canceled. As for what happens next,


    you figure it out.


    He had just boasted earlier. If he couldn’t get in this very moment, he would


    be utterly humiliated.


    “We don’t have such a rule in our restaurant, Mr. Verkade. I beg you to let me


    upholding the restaurant’s protocols, just as she had before. After all, she


    knew who paid her sry.


    “Well, what are you waiting for?” Taking Tia’s feelings into consideration,


    Jonathan decided to give Eleanor five minutes. If it were before, he would


    have already started a physical confrontation.


    “Okay!” Eleanor immediately dialed a number.


    Rhea had just arrived at the corridor in front of Suite 888 when her phone


    rang.


    “Hello, is this Ms. Gomez?” Eleanor got straight to the point. “I’m sorry, but


    because we have another guest who wants Suite 888, would you consider


    switching to another room?”


    “What? That’s not possible!” Rhea immediately refused. Her family and


    Emmanuel had arrived on time for their reservation. Why should they ept


    ast-minute change?


    Emmanuel had even witnessed the scene at the room entrance and couldn’t


    help but furrow his brows slightly. Why is Tia and her mother with a rascal like


    Jonathan?


    “Mr. Verkade, I’m sorry, but the guests declined,” Eleanor apologized to


    Jonathan with a bitter smile.


    “D*mn it! You ipetent fool! You can’t even handle something so small!


    Get lost! I’ll handle it myself!”
