Chapter 203

What was Maurice trying to convey?

Wyatt was unsure of what to make of the situation. Rosalie raced over in a panic at this point.

“Boss, Jordy has been injured.”

“Jordy? What went on?”

What happened to everyone?

“Just now, I saw Jordy lying on the floor in the storeroom. The floor was strewn with shards of shattered

glass. He had many cut wounds to his face, which caused him to lose a lot of blood.”

In addition to the shattered glass, the blood, the things Maurice had just uttered, and Eliana, Jordy, and

Maurice…

Wyatt was taken aback, but his gut told him something more.

“Tell me the truth, Rosalie. In the last several days, has Jordy been weird?”

Rosalie’s eyes widened in shock. She thoroughly considered the matter and concluded that Jordy had

been behaving oddly lately.

She nodded, her face contrite. “He has.”

“Fuck! How could he!?”

Wyatt was on edge. In his restaurant, he didn’t expect to see such a scumbag, who had even come

close to hurting Eliana. Maurice would go berserk if Eliana got hurt in some sort of way.

“It’s all my fault, Wyatt. I’m becoming too elderly to make accurate judgments about people; therefore

I’m not doing as much as I should when it comes to staff management. That’s why this occurred.”

A guilty Rosalie made her apology to Wyatt. The chef of the restaurant nearly raped an actress. She

was to blame since she was the manager of the eatery.

Wyatt became silent. He sighed and flashed a bitter smirk as he shut his eyes.

“Rosalie, you are not to blame for this. This is my restaurant, and I run it. It’s all my fault. I paid little

attention to the restaurant and left all decisions to you. It seems like Maurice had a point when he

chastised me. I just lack the necessary qualifications. That explains why my father hasn’t given me the

Todds.”

“But Wyatt…”

“It’s okay, Rosalie.”

When Wyatt opened his eyes, he regained his composure. “That scoundrel should go to the hospital,

but he will not be allowed back to work at my restaurant. Additionally, the restaurant will be closed

temporarily in order to restructure the remaining staff. If they lack competency, you can replace them

all.”

Rosalie was delighted to see Wyatt’s calm and severe countenance.

Finally, he had the demeanor of a boss.

“Of course, sir. I’ve just notified the guests that the restaurant is closed for the time being, but one

woman refuses to go.”

“Then I’ll go and try to convince her.”

When that came up, Wyatt didn’t give it any thought. He walked to the dining area, thinking it was just

an ordinary guest.

Rosalie’s thoughts were conflicted as she watched him.

She knew without a doubt who the female customer was. For so long, Wyatt had been missing that

lady. Her sympathies were with him. Wyatt would possibly revert to his former self if the two were

reunited.

Upon Wyatt’s arrival, he saw Nicole seated on a chair. He came to an abrupt halt.

His thoughts wandered back to the fun times they’d had together in the past.

He had planned to run this restaurant with Nicole back then. He hoped to surprise her. As soon as the

restaurant was fully decked up, he’d bring Nicole here to check it out. Their relationship, when the

restaurant was decorated, was a loving one. At the moment, Wyatt was still fantasizing about her sitting

in front of this window with the sun dappling her lovely face. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?

The happy times, on the other hand, were short-lived. Before he brought her to the restaurant, the

relationship ended.

After a lot of time had gone, things had evolved. Everything had changed in a big way.

Wyatt took a long breath, collected his thoughts, and then went forward after regaining his composure.

“You should go now. There is no food available today as a result of an incident at the restaurant.”

Wyatt gently glanced down at her.

Nicole lifted her eyes to meet his gaze. She wanted to examine the depths of his heart.

“Why didn’t you alter the wine’s names?”

Was she the reason behind it?

Nicole couldn’t ask, but Wyatt was able to decipher what she was saying.

“I was too lazy to make a modification. There was no compelling reason,” Wyatt answered very

casually.

“I’m not convinced,” Nicole retorted.

“Then that’s upon you. This restaurant will not be open for a while. Leave right away.”

Using a stern tone, Wyatt ordered her out of the restaurant.

Was it any wonder that they couldn’t even get along peacefully at this point? Nicole tried to keep her

emotions in check.

She couldn’t remain any longer since the restaurant’s owner was chasing her away. Nicole rose to her

feet.

Suddenly, the sky and earth seemed to be whirling, and she felt weakness in her limbs. Nicole was

unable to avoid staggering.

Wyatt was stunned. He grasped Nicole’s tumbling body before he knew what was happening.

“What’s the matter with you? What’s going on?”

Nicole stabilized herself by holding onto Wyatt’s arm and sat gently.

She responded by rubbing her dizzy head and said, “Nothing major. For my job role, I have to slim

down. I may be suffering from hypoglycemia because I eat too little.”

“What the hell are you thinking?!” Wyatt was unable to hold back his rage. “Hold on. I’ll cook you

pasta.”

After Wyatt cursed, he walked away.

Nicole erupted into laughter as she saw him speed up.
