Adeline quickly drove to Taihe Lou, a Chinese restaurant that has been around for nearly a hundred years and is an old brand in Jin City. Many people like to come here to eat, and there are many customers even in the evening.
Because Joseph couldn't wait, she was always in a hurry. When she came, she was told that the upper private room on the third floor she had reserved was gone.
Adeline, already in a hurry, got angry all of a sudden: "Why is it gone? Did you book it for someone else? I was the one who made the reservation first!"
"I'm sorry, Miss Adeline. That Andreasest is very important. We really don't want to offend him. How about this? We'll arrange a private room on the second floor for you. The environment is also very nice. You can see the night view of the river by the window. As an apology, can we waive all your expenses tonight?"
He was so kind and smiling that it left Adeline speechless for a moment. She was also the son of a wealthy family and naturally knew a little about some of the hidden rules of the upper class. I'm afraid the person who pushed her out of the box this time was from a prominent family in Jincheng.
She let out a silent breath, thinking that Joseph was coming soon, she didn't want to pester any further: "Forget it, I won't hold it against you this time, take me to the second floor box."
The manager's face was relieved, and the attentive was about to lead her to have a look when a delicate voice came: "Manager Wang, have all my 307 boxes been arranged?"
307 was exactly the box that Adeline had booked earlier, and she couldn't help but turn her face to look.
It was a petite, cute little sister, dressed in a pink dress, with air bangs and a fair, shiny face, looking very cute.
Manager Wang saw her and went up to her immediately: "Miss Mu, don't worry. The private room you want is all ready. If you need food delivery, I'll have someone prepare it right away."
"Don't worry. Felix hasn't arrived yet. Take me up first!" lucy pouted her hair by the side of her ear, with an air of superiority from the upper class.
Adeline's heart sank, Felix? Which Chen?
She bit her lip, her gaze somewhat hesitant.
Manager Wang had completely forgotten Adeline and was showing lucy the way with great enthusiasm. Adeline, resentful, stood in front of them and smiled slowly with her beautiful face: "Manager, you just said you were going to lead me up. Why are you going to lead someone else now and just leave me here? Isn't that too immoral?"
Then the manager remembered her and quickly called someone over: "Well, Miss Adeline, may I have Manager Chen here lead you up?"
Adeline crossed her arms over her chest, with a proud and cold posture: "No!"
The next moment her gaze turned to the pink and lovely girl in front of her.
lucy was also looking at her at this moment, with a mixture of amazement and surprise in her eyes: "You seem to be alone!"
Adeline blinked her eyes and smiled beautifully and sharply: "Oh, who do I look like, Miss Mu's relative?"
Her expression became complicated for a moment: "That's not."
"That's true. If I were Miss Mu's relative, I'm afraid Taihe House wouldn't have taken my reserved private room to show off to someone else!" After saying that, he looked at Manager Wang meaningfully.
Manager Wang, who had thought she was easy to talk to when she didn't make much of a fuss, couldn't help but feel intimidated when he saw her in such a state!
lucy now also understood the situation and was slightly stunned: "The world is a case of the strong preying on the weak. Manager must think I'm more qualified to sit there. I heard that the box on the second floor is also good. Miss Adeline is single, it should be fine to make do with a little bit, right?"
Adeline gave a sneer. She was naturally beautiful, and such a smile was like a brilliant flower blooming in the cold wind, with a certain air of grace.
"Miss Wood thinks people are divided into different classes, I won't say much, but I've heard a saying that when it comes to beating a dog, it depends on its owner. A dog owned by a person who claims to be superior is extremely unlucky, so I won't stand in the way of a dog!"
After she said that, she left and went up the stairs herself to the second floor.
lucy's face turned red with anger. She had always been adored since childhood. Who would dare to mock her like this, both openly and covertly?
"Damn it, who is that woman, daring to be so arrogant in front of me, does she know who I am?"
Manager Wang also had a bad look on his face. He didn't expect Adeline to look pretty and gentle, but to have such a sharp temper.
"She is the Adeline who was involved in the family's property seizure scandal. She must have had a lot of bad luck recently, so she doesn't know what to do with Miss Mu. Don't be angry with such a person. I'll take you to the box on the third floor first."
lucy, thinking that Felix was about to arrive, put away the anger on her face and stepped into the elevator.
Adeline went to the window box on the second floor, which, though not as luxurious and elegant as the third floor, was clean and beautiful, thinking of a teacher who was not too negligent.
When Joseph called and said he was coming, Adeline immediately pushed open the window and looked down, and her expression remained unchanged.
A black Maybach pulled up in front of the building, and the door opened, revealing the handsome face she knew so well.
Felix!
He seemed to have been deliberately dressed, with his black hair neatly combed to the back of his head, dressed in a fine dark blue suit that perfectly set off his broad shoulders and long legs, and as soon as he stood there, he was irresistibly attracting the attention of women.
As if the phone had come, he picked it up, and his usually cold face gradually softened, with the corners of his productions curled up as if he were smiling.
"Adeline, I'm here and waving to you. Do you see it?" Joseph's voice came through the phone, and Felix, as if sensing something, looked up and saw only carved glass, no human figure at all.
A middle-aged man beside him was complaining: "Oh, this girl, I was so good at waving my hand and didn't see it, really!"
Felix gave him a glance, then moved away uninterestingly, and walked into the restaurant on his long legs.
Adeline on the second floor held her heart pale, and a bitter taste gradually spread out of her chest. She remembered Felix that lucy had mentioned, and then so coincidentally he came here again!
So... Does he have another woman?
Adeline slightly raised her head to suppress her slightly flushed eyes. Then the door was pushed open and Joseph came in: "You girl, I shouted so loudly from below but you didn't hear me. Logically, you should be able to see from this room!"
She quickly stood up: "There was something I didn't hear just now, the teacher will go around me this time, shall we have dinner first?"
How could Joseph really be angry with her? He was very angry: "All right, eat first. I'm already hungry."
Adeline gave a gentle smile and immediately called the waiter to serve the dishes.
