Chapter 414: 414 Sent to the Wrong Person_1
Legend of Dragon Son-in-law
âHello, Manager!â
Seeing the manager approach, Lewis Leocadia quickly stood up and politely extended his hand.
But the manager simply ignored him and instead asked bluntly, âWas it you who smashed the electric bicycle at the door!â
Hearing Julius Reedâs instructions, the manager promptly arranged for the Head of Security to guard the electric bike.
Since it was something his boss had put him in charge of, he had to handle it well; otherwise, heâd lose his job sooner or later.
But despite the Security Chief leading people to search for quite a while, they found no trace of the electric bike.
Only after checking the surveillance, they discovered the electric bike had been shattered by a Mercedes, its wheels completely detached.
What were they supposed to do now?
Urgently, the manager took his team to review the surveillance footage and, after identifying the Mercedes driver, found out that the driver was in the same private room as his own boss.
This was a tricky situation, so he sent someone with a bottle of red wine, which was actually just a discreet way to deliver a note asking whether to handle the situation or let it be.
If Julius Reed shook his head, they would drop the matter.
After all, it was his bossâs friend who was involved; heâd be happy to stay out of it.
But if the incident was to be handled as usual, heâd have to put in all the effort he could muster!
Heâd give that Mercedes driver a real thrashing!
When Julius Reed took the red wine, he nodded, and the waiter even repeated the insulting words Lewis Leocadia had said upon returning.
This only strengthened the managerâs determination to deal with Lewis Leocadia!
Daring to oppose his own boss, wasnât that just asking for trouble?
Thereupon, he stormed up with a group of security guards, all bluster and righteous indignation.
When he heard about the electric bike, Lewis Leocadia didnât immediately grasp what was meant and asked with some confusion, âWhat electric bike?â
âWhen you were parking, you smashed the electric bike that was behind you!â the manager reiterated.
âOh! You mean that piece of junk owned by that broke loser? What about it?â Lewis Leocadia slapped his forehead as he recalled the incident.
It seemed they were talking about the electric bike Julius Reed used for deliveries, which he had wrecked while parking.
âBroke loser?â
The manager was furious, cursing silently in his head, âIdiot.â
That was the owner of the restaurant. Although he didnât know the exact background, he had heard something from Ovidiu Cookâs subordinate when the latter was drunk.
The restaurant had been a gift to the new owner from Ovidiu Cook, who didnât ask for a dime and continued to pay the staff on behalf of the new owner.
All expenses were charged to Titan Groupâs accounts, while all profits went straight to the new ownerâs pocket.
Essentially, it was like giving away money by gifting the restaurant and covering the expenses.
Who was Ovidiu Cook?
The richest man in Gonzalez City!
Could someone who compelled the wealthiest man in Gonzalez City to act in such a manner be ordinary?
Yet, here was this fool, calling his own boss a broke loser, and it was clear to the manager that it was his time to shine.
Seeing the manager appear somewhat astonished, he pointed at Julius Reed and said, âThatâs the owner of the broke bike, my brother-in-law. So what?â
âBrother-in-law?â
The manager was even more incredulousâit was family!
Didnât this relative know how powerful his own boss was?
Yet here he was, disdainfully calling him a loser with every word.
âI donât care whose bike it is. If itâs parked at our Roosevelt Western Restaurant, itâs under our protection! You forcefully smashing that electric bike is against the rules of our restaurant!â exclaimed the manager loudly.
âWhat are you doing! Call your boss here! A mere manager daring to make a commotion like this! Do you know where you are!â Bryson Ridge stood up, looking impatiently at the restaurant manager and pointing at the ground, âThis is the Vaughn Danvers room! The biggest private room upstairs! Reserved by your boss especially for us. And here you are, a bunch of stinking shrimps, disturbing us during our meal? Get out!â
At this moment, she actually started to believe the lies Lewis Leocadia had told.
Moreover, Bryson Ridge figured that the manager probably didnât know whether they truly knew the boss or not. If they sought the bossâs input over this matter, theyâd likely get scolded.
So thatâs why she dared to speak like that.
âReserved for you?â
The manager couldnât help but laugh at the absurdity; this reservation was clearly intended for his girlfriendâs birthday celebration. Only when his boss happened to come by and need a table had he offered this one instead.
How had it suddenly turned into something reserved for them?
As for knowing his boss, that was even more ludicrous!
Julius Reed was right there, called a broke loser by them, and yet they had the nerve to claim they knew his boss.
It was downright ridiculous!
âNonsense! If it wasnât for your boss holding this spot for us, how could there be such a large Vaughn Danvers Room available during prime dining hours?â
Lewis Leocadia straightened his back at this moment, pointing towards the door, âToday Iâm in a good mood, get lost! If you dare stay here, I will have your boss fire all of you!â
Not only the manager, but the restaurant security guards all laughed at this.
Many of them hadnât even seen the boss before; everything in the restaurant was managed by the manager.
This guy, claiming to be a friend of their boss, was utterly joking.
âWhat are you laughing about?â
Lewis Leocadia, seeing no fear in the people in front of him and even hearing them laugh, grew even more irate.
He pulled out his phone, pretending to make a call: âIâm giving you one last chance! Get lost! Otherwise, youâll have to face the consequences!â
But instead of being intimidated, the manager crossed his arms and watched Lewis Leocadia with a cold sneer, âGo ahead and call! Iâm listening right here!â
He wanted to see what new, foolish act the youth could come up with.
But Lewis Leocadia didnât know the restaurant ownerâs phone number, and he was extremely embarrassed at that moment.
âWhat do you think youâre doing! To treat your bossâs friend like this, do you no longer want your jobs? A bunch of stinking security guards, dogs that watch the door, daring to run wild here!â
Bryson Ridge cursed them furiously like a fishwife.
Her curses turned the security guardsâ faces dark collectively.
âWhat did you say?â
The manager confronted Bryson Ridge and asked in a deep voice.
He had worked with these security guards for many years, and they usually called each other brothers.
But this woman dared to call his brothers dogs!
âI said you bunch of stinking laborers better get out of here, donât be an eyesore!â
Bryson Ridge shouted eyes wide open.
Slap!
The manager slapped her, flipping Bryson Ridge over onto the table, âDoes your mouth eat shit? Havenât you learned to respect people?â
After hitting her, the manager glanced over at Julius Reed and seeing no reaction from his boss, he was relieved.
âYou dare to hit me! You stinking laborerâ¦â
Slap!
The manager slapped her again.
âWhat are you trying to do!â
Lewis Leocadia grabbed a wine bottle from the table and held it high, shouting, âThis wine was a gift from your boss to me, you dare to bully a friend of your boss, have you gone mad?â
This bottle was his lifeline.
How could an ordinary person gift such expensive wine right off the bat?
Genuine and costly, worth at least a hundred thousand yuan.
âHa! Who said this wine was a gift?â
The manager snatched the bottle and shook it, discovering it was empty.
âIf it wasnât for me, how would it have been delivered here?â
Lewis Leocadia asked somewhat sheepishly.
âIt was delivered by mistake! Eighteen thousand, you drank it so you have to pay!â
The manager tossed the bottle away, approached Lewis Leocadia, and grabbed his throat with one hand.
