Chapter 52: You're Hiding Something From Me
This angry shout startled the guests and waiters throughout Lasdun, and they all turned their eyes over.
Thomas came down from upstairs with brisk steps, seeing Iris with someone, so vulgarly verbally
berating Maximilian. He was naturally very annoyed in his heart!
He was an honored guest of the boss!
The most honored guest!
These people, how dare they?
"S...... Thomas.’
Several waiters hurriedly stood to the side respectfully.
Thomas walked over, his face chilled as he looked up and down at the arrogant Iris a few times. He
turned around, and said
to Maximilian with respects.
"Mr. Lee, you're not disturbed, are you?"
Mr. Lee?
The sight of Thomas treating Maximilian so respectfully naturally caused quite a stir in the hall!
Iris was like a cat with fried fur at the moment! Disbelief was full of her face.
Just him, Mr. Lee? He must be kidding!
“Hey, who are you? What's wrong with me talking to the son-in-law in my family like that?
Who are you to heckle me?”
lris's temper came up and was very upset.
This middle-aged man in front of her was an idiot, right?
To have such respect for a loser like Maximilian, hilarious!
However, as soon as she said, people around her all looked at her with shocked and frightened
expressions.
What? Iris was also confused, did she look horrible?
At this moment, a beautiful rich girl behind her, hurriedly came up, tugged Iris's arm and whispered.
"Iris, you're crazy. He's the manager of Lasdun, Thomas!"
Thomas?
Iris shuddered as her eyes fell on Thomas, instantly, she was not feeling good.
She can't believe he was the manager of Lasdun!
Thomas, the manager, enjoyed high status and position in the catering industry in H City.
However, not many people knew about his another identity.
He was one of the four underground figures in H City, Master Thomas!
Such a man, doing serious business, acts in a low profile, rarely shows up in front of people, and does
not usually go forward
for important occasions.
So, not many people knew about his another identity, but those who did, were not ordinary people.
Obviously, Iris just didn't know.
At the moment, she was still scowling at Thomas with her eyebrows raised. Although a little alarmed,
she was not yet in fear.
He was just a manager of a restaurant. Nothing at all.
However, at this moment, Thomas turned around, his face cold as he looked at Iris, tugged on his suit,
and said.
“You're the first in my restaurant to insult my VIPs like that!"
The words carried a threat.
The crowd on the side, hearing this, shuddered in their hearts.
But Iris was a reckless, spoiled and pampered bitch, full of princess syndrome, immediately rebuked.
“What, you're just a manager in the restaurant, what's the big deal? What's wrong with your eyes? That
loser behind you is your VIP? Don't be funny, he's just a dog my family keeps, a tail wagging dog.
We're your VIPs, we're all from the Sky Garden down here, are you going to offend us for that idiot?”
Iris were arrogant, her arms ringed around her chest, overwhelming.
However, her friends behind her, were all embarrassed, taking a few steps back.
“Iris, stop talking and hurry over here.”
One of them, a rather handsome man, was constantly winking at Iris at the moment.
He knew Thomas and was profoundly aware of his identity, but he didn't dare to speak about it now
because Thomas was staring at him. That means, no more talking! Iris chuckled.
"What's wrong with you guys? What are you afraid of? I just can't believe it, a small manager, dares to
hit me for that loser?"
After saying that, she twisted her face, full of mocking, looked at Thomas and pushed him away,
walking to Maximilian and
scolded in a commanding manner.
"Maximilian, who the hell are you? What are you doing now, standing in my way? Now, I order you to
get down on your knees
and apologize to me for the way you just acted! Otherwise, there will be suffering for you, and Victoria
will be punished because of you!"
Iris threatened, a trick she had played so many times before.
Whenever she was troubled by something herself, she would come to Maximilian to vent her anger.
Every time, she used the same threatening words.
But, today was clearly different.
Maximilian clenched his hands, chill in his eyes, and shook his head helplessly with a sigh, saying.
"Because of my attitude, I have to apologize to you?"
"That's right!
A trash like you has no business looking up at me squarely, much less treating me that way!"
Iris raised her hand and just threw a slap towards Maximilian’s face!
Clap! The sound of a crisp slap resonated throughout the hall!
HISS! Everyone drew in a breath of cold air.
Because Maximilian was standing still, and there was any slap marks on his face.
On the contrary, Iris, who was covering her face at the moment, took a while to come to the reality and
angrily shouted
towards Thomas who was shaking his hand aside.
"How dare you hit me? You actually beat me up for a loser?”
With a chill in the corner of his eyes, Thomas said, "Since you're in my restaurant, you're my
customers. I don't care who you are, if you dare to stir up trouble here, I wont let you go! Security, blow
them out!"
Immediately, a few security guards rushed in and directly racked that reckless Iris and threw her out.
Several other rich guys also ran out in a hurry like rats crossing the street.
Iris got up from the ground and fell on her butt.
She got up and cursed at the top of her lungs.
"Thomas, you're screwed! I'm the third lady of the Griffith family. How dare you treat me like this? Such
a little manager, I'm going to have someone tear down your restaurant!”
Cursing, Iris still wanted to rush up, but she was stopped by her friends on the side.
The handsome rich guy, who was pulling Iris at the moment, shouted.
"You're crazy! Thomas isn't just a manager, he's one of the four underground figures in H City!"
Upon hearing his words, Iris froze in place.
"And tear down his restaurant? With one finger, he can make your Griffith family lose all your fortune!”
The rich boy continued. Iris panicked, her face full of disbelief, and said hysterically.
"What do you mean? Are you kidding? One of the four underground figures of H City would actually
beat me up for that trash?"
The rich boy raised his eyebrows, looked down the hall, and shook his head in disbelief as well.
"Maybe, it's really like he said, this is his home court. Disrespect to his guests is disrespect to him. After
all, the restaurant is open for business. If rumors say that the guests who come here to eat are scolded
for no reason, who else dares to come?
You unintentionally, almost ruined the reputation of Lasdun. It is not serious for him to throw you out. If
you really piss off Thomas, he'll probably throw you into the H River!"
As soon as she heard this, Iris shivered, and fears claimed her.
However, in her mind, she owed this to Maximilian.
Damned loser, she offended such a dangerous master because of him!
In anger, Iris twisted her head and left as well.
It was just a hiccup not worth mentioning.
When Maximilian returned home, his parents in laws went to bed already. When he sneaked into the
bedroom, he gently dragged his bed out from under Victoria's bed.
Clap!
Suddenly, the light in the bedroom turned on.
Maximilian then saw Victoria sitting on the bed. She dressed in a sheer nightgown, waiting for him.
Under the light, Victoria's figure was really charming and sexy. Her fairy-like and jade skin, especially
the white collarbone and calves made Maximilian dazed at that moment.
"You are back."
Victoria kept looking at him.
Maximilian unhurriedly made the bed and responded.
"Yep."
"Do you want to explain everything to me about the Graham Group's contract, and the Lasdun?"
Victoria asked.
Maximilian was unfolding the bed in his hands, but inside he was actually panicking like hell!
Did she suspect him now? Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
"Didn't you say it all owe to Travis, why are you suddenly asking that?"
Maximilian smiled, hiding a hint of panic within himself.
Victoria said, “Maximilian, is there something you're hiding from me?"
Midnight, bedroom, two people were looking at each other......
