Chapter 538: I Want to Court You


    The manager hesitated for a while. When he saw that she kept looking at the table by the window, he


    immediately understood, “You’re here for that man, right?”


    Ellie saw that she had been seen through, so she simply admitted it. She spat out her tongue and said


    embarrassingly, “Yes, yes, I am courting him, but he is so cold and unmoved by me, so I have toe


    up with such a solution to impress him so that he can know that I love him very much.” Ellie was an


    actress after all, so she did not even blink when she lied.


    The manager believed her immediately, ‘Young people nowadays are indeed creative toe up with


    so many ways for the sake of love.’ Thinking that there were not many people in the shop and the girl


    was beautiful, he let her work in his shop for one hour.


    “Okay, just for one hour. You can’t disturb the other customers.”


    “No problem, no problem. I won’t move around. I’ll just concentrate on serving.” Ellie pointed, “That


    table.”


    The manager’s heart skipped a beat, ‘It’s good to be young. One can be so mboyant and


    unscrupulous. One can be reckless for love. Ah, I’m old. I’m old.’


    The manager mourned for his youth for a few seconds, and then he asked a waitress to bring Ellie to


    change her clothes.


    Ellie jumped happily and followed her at the back, not realizing that everything she did had been seen


    by a pair of sharp eyes.


    When Ellie came out, she had changed her dress and reced it with a very ill-fitting Scottish-style


    shirt and skirt.


    The waitresses in the shop were old, obese women. There was no shirt and skirt which could fit Ellie.


    She could only stand at the bar in such a ridiculous outfit.


    Not long after, one of the customers rang the bell. Ellie volunteered herself to serve coffee to the


    customer. She carried a tray with two cups of fragrant cappino on it. It was so fragrant that she


    wanted to take a sip stealthily. In the process of delivering the coffee, she passed by Kayden’s table


    and deliberately slowed down to listen to their conversation.


    Ellie slipped identally and she lost bnce. She hastily pulled the table aside to avoid falling, but


    the two cups of coffee had already spilt to the ground.


    “Oh my god!” The manager shouted in exaggeration, ‘I know something will happen! Her hands are fair


    and tender. She definitely does not work before. She probably has never held a soy sauce bottle at


    home. It will be strange if there’s nothing happen when she works as a waitress.’


    Ellie apologetically spat out her tongue and acted coquettishly at the manager who was walking


    towards her with an angry look on his face, “Manager, don’t be angry, the floor is so slippery and I didn’t


    expect the ident to happen. I will help you to clean it up, I will definitely help you to clean it up.”


    ***


    The manager opened his mouth. When he was about to scold her, he suddenly lost his voice and his


    face was flushed. He came back from his absent-minded after a while. He waved his hand and said,


    “Forget it, you don’t have to clean it up.” After saying that, he hurriedly asked someone to clean up the


    floor while he turned around to wipe away his sweat, ‘Oh my god, the man’s expression is horrible, as if


    he was saying, ‘If you dare to scold her, I’ll put you in trouble.’ The expression is abnormal. Normal


    people will not have that fierce expression.’


    ‘It’s horrible! It’s horrible! Some terrible person has entered my little shop!’


    Ellie could not help but cheer in her heart when the manager did not look into the matter, ‘It seems that


    beauty can work well in any country.’


    Kayden slowly withdrew his gaze and continued to discuss the topic with Thompson, “To be honest, ZH


    n is very interested in cooperating with your n. However, the request you make is too harsh. ZH


    n provides the manpower and equipment, but the share is divided in a fifty-fifty ratio, this is


    unreasonable, right?” The Mafia had only sold a few pieces of information and it was not difficult for ZH


    n to get that information, they just did not want to waste the time.


    “That’s not true, without my information, how will you guys know where the mines are?” Thompson said


    as he smoked his cigar and exhaled gently.


    Kayden smiled significantly, “However, the truth of the news will only be known at the moment it is


    mined, especially these metal ores, there is no way to prove that there is something underneath without


    digging. Your n has been in turmoiltely. There are many factions and the ounts are extremely


    chaotic. You are worried that if you leave it to your men, they will fight over the resources, but if you


    leave it to someone who is not in your n, you can’t gain the maximum benefits. You want to achieve


    your goal but you don’t want to give in. Mr. Thompson, there’s no such thing as a free lunch.”


    Thompson’s face changed, ‘I don’t expect that he knows about this!’ When he was about to speak, he


    was interrupted by a clear and melodious female voice.


    Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “Hello, this is our signature dish, ‘Crock Pot Chicken Mno’, a gift today to thank our customers,


    please enjoy yourselves.” The person who came was none other than Ellie.


    Kayden raised his eyebrows and met Ellie’s soulful eyes. Ellie blinked and that was seductive.


    Kayden’s heart skipped a beat and his hand trembled. Then, he lowered his eyes and continued


    drinking his coffee.


    ‘Damn!!!!!!!!’ Ellie was scolding him in her heart immediately, ‘I have let go of my ego and even done


    this for you but you still pretend that you’re embarrassed! Can’t you give me some responses! Will you


    die because of paying attention to me!’


    “Just put it down, there is no more business for you here, you can leave now.” Thompson could not


    help but voice out unhappily when he saw that Ellie was reluctant to leave. ‘Damn, the waitress of this


    shop doesn’t know how to behave properly. How can we discuss our issue if she stands here? I


    seriously don’t know why Kayden chose this ce. It’s bullshit saying that the merrier ce is safer.’


    Ellie rolled her eyes, ‘You’re busybody, idiot!’


    Kayden was nervous. Seeing that Thompson suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked fierce, he


    hurriedly spoke to distract him.


    “About what I just said, I wonder what Mr. Thompson’s decision ...is.”


    Thompson really focused back on the issue. He snorted, “Dividing the share in fifty-fifty ratio is the


    biggest concession we can ept. You are taking all the benefits if we divide the share in thirty-


    seventy ratio.” They had taken the lion’s share. The Mafia was not satisfied with the small profit that


    was leaving behind.


    Kayden held a cup and smiled, “Thirty per cent of the share of metal ore is already quite a lot. It’s


    enough to support an army.”


    Thompson snorted, “Thirty per cent. Are you sending away the beggars?”


    ‘Forget it if you don’t want.’ Kayden shrugged his shoulders. He thought that they would agree. He was


    just dragging the time so that Kerr could have more time to prepare. It was only his whim to ask


    Thompson to discuss here as he wanted to see how Ellie was doingtely.


    ‘I have to say, Nico’s coaching really works.’ Recalling the first time he saw Ellie flipping through the


    book seriously at the opposite side, he was mesmerised.


    ‘But she has be so perfect, I’m less confident and less secure.’


    “Hello, would you like to have a refill?” Ellie came again.


    Thompson red at her, ‘Why is this girl so annoying! Just now she broke the coffee cups and


    interrupted our conversation, then she interrupted us by serving us chicken for no reason, and now


    she’s here to refill! Who has said anything about a refill!’


    Thompson suddenly narrowed his eyes, ‘I think I’ve met this girl before.’ He was old but he still had a


    good memory.


    Kayden was familiar with that look in his eyes. It was the look of a leopard when it was judging its prey.


    Once it was sure of its next step, it would tear its prey fiercely. Kayden was nervous, ‘Has he


    discovered Ellie’s identity?’


    Ellie had originallye for Kayden. When he had given her the cup, she had no intention to stay there


    any longer. However, thinking of her promise to the manager to be apetent waitress, she thought it


    would be better for her to ask again, “Excuse me, do you need a refill?” She grinned and showed the


    standard eight teeth.


    Thompson instantly remembered, ‘Hadn’t this girl once appeared in front of my vi? She was with


    Nico at that time. How can it be such a coincidence to meet here again.’


    ‘Could it be that ...’ Thompson stayed calm and collected and looked at Kayden and Ellie. He pondered


    in his heart.


    “Yes, I need a refill,” Thompson said indifferently.


    Ellie took the cup and walked towards the bar counter gracefully.


    “It seems we can’t get into an agreement today, so let’s talk about it another day.” Thompson got up


    and said abruptly.


    Kayden had exactly the same idea, ‘It will be a waste of time to discuss further. My time is precious.’


    After they shook their hands, Kayden sent Thompson out.


    When Ellie returned with the coffee that had been refilled, they had left and the table was empty. She


    looked around and saw them standing in front of the shop. Without any hesitation, she chased them.


    At that moment, Kayden had just sent Thompson away. He turned around and saw Ellie running


    towards him out of breath.


    He hurriedly turned around to leave. After he took a few steps, he was stopped by Ellie.


    “Wait, don’t go.” Ellie was panting.


    Kayden looked at her indifferently, “Is there anything wrong, Ms. Jones.”


    Ellie’s heart was broken as he called her “Ms. Jones”. It was a strange and indifferent appetion.


    ‘It has only been two months since west met, have we already be so distant? Is it really


    irreparable?’


    ‘Even if I’m willing to put aside my pride and change for him, it’s still impossible to restore our


    rtionship?’


    “I want to court you!” Ellie looked straight at Kayden and said it out loud.


    Kayden was extremely happy in his heart but he looked indifferent, as if he was not touched, “I


    remember when I said that we were overst time, Ms. Jones even said that we were not in a


    rtionship since the beginning and told me to stop posing as if we were breaking up.”


    ***


    Ellie was retorted and she could not say anything. She stammered for a while before saying angrily,


    “I’ve never been scolded since I was born. You scolded me in front of so many people, I couldn’t stand


    it. You know that I’m impulsive and have a bad temper, why do you take the words that I said when I


    was angry seriously?”


    ‘Ellie is really good at confounding ck and white. If she hadn’t been so unreasonable first, I wouldn’t


    scold her.’ Kayden was expressionless, “Has Ms. Jones finished talking?”


    Ellie was dumbfounded, ‘I had said so, but he still calls me ‘Ms. Jones’ indifferently.’


    “Haven’t finished.” Ellie shouted and stood with arms akimbo to block him, “I said I want to court you.


    I’m informing you, not asking for your opinion. Whether you will agree or not has no conflict with


    whether I want to court you or not. Also, I know that you don’t like me to behave like this, so I’ve


    decided to change myself and will try to be the kind of girl you like!”
