Chapter 206 Demolish the Restaurant?
Once they had gotten to know each other, Lynette swiftly took Lunaâs arm in hers and. commented,
âYour hair color is really cool.â
âYou can be cool like me, too.â Luna teased with a smile.
The two of them quickly became fast friends.
Lynette led them to a private dining room.
Abigail soon noticed that Eric and Josh were already seated upon entering the room. She couldnât help
but scrunch her brows at the sight of them.
âAbby, I was so thrilled to see you that I forgot to tell you we were having dinner together,â Lynette
explained with a guilty expression.
Luna wasnât surprised to see Eric but couldnât hide her astonishment at seeing Josh.
âMiss Quinn! The great reveal was a real surprise. Anyway, good evening.â Eric greeted politely with his
trademark warm smile as he rose to his feet.
Josh also quickly followed suit and pulled out two chairs.
At this point, Abigail couldnât simply walk out.
Even if their relationship had soured beyond repair, adults in the real world had to endure any
discomfort when necessary.
âGood evening. I didnât expect it to be such a coincidence,â Abigail said as she walked into the private
room.
âThatâs right,â Eric replied and sat back down while maintaining a friendly expression.
Lynette stood to the side and asked, âShall I go buy some coffee for you all?â
âNo, thank you.â Abigail declined.
âI canât drink coffee at night; it keeps me awake. So, Iâll have to pa*s on that offer as well. Thank you,
though,â Luna said graciously as she removed her mask and wore a bright smile.
After Lynette left, Lunaâs gaze unintentionally fell on Joshâs face.
He looked too similarâ¦
âI was quite shocked by the online situation. I never expected you to be Alana. I always thought you
were just a simple a*sistant.â Eric initiated the conversation.
Abigail simply acknowledged with a faint hum. It was clear that she wasnât interested in saying
more on the matter.
Josh, who was sitting next to her, naturally poured her a cup of tea.
âWhat would you like to eat?â he asked Abigail with concern.
Abigail quickly sensed that he might not have given up on her being a part of the Pearsons just yet
upon hearing his question.
However, she didnât want to open that particular can of worms with Luna present.
âJust order whatever you like, as long as itâs delicious,â Abigail replied coldly.
âAll right.â Josh nodded and carefully examined the menu.
Eric couldnât help but feel anxious at their back and forth as he continued, âSpeaking of which, it seems
that the online community is quite upset with you, especially regarding your concealment of being
Alana. Many people are dissatisfied with your decision.â
âActually, their attitude toward me doesnât affect my work as a designer at all,â Abigail replied.
Eric blinked at her dumbly and found himself at a loss for words.
He couldnât help but notice that she was usually easy to talk to unless offended. Once anyone had
made that particular blunder, she wouldnât bother showing them anything more than the basic courtesy
needed.
Meanwhile, Lynette spotted Cameron getting out of the car and courteously opening the car door for
someone after buying coffee and making her way to the restaurant.
When she saw Sean stepping out of the car, she tightened her hand around the bag and quickly. dialed
a number.
As soon as the call was answered, she issued a cold command, saying sternly, âTwo men will enter
shortly, and one of them is Sean, whom you should recognize. I donât care what happens; stop them
until they are forced to leave the restaurant. If Sean causes trouble, tell him he should seek out the
Pearsons in person for an explanation! Iâm telling you, if he enters the restaurant today, Iâll fire you, and
you wonât find work anywhere in the entire capital!â
With that, she hung up the phone, feeling content.
Today, she was going to avenge the grudge she held against Cameron for blocking her way in the past.
As for Sean⦠Well, he was simply not worthy of Abigail!
Moreover, Abigail should not have married him. Lynette was of the opinion that she should have
married someone better.
Since it wouldnât be convenient for her to take the entrance, Lynette sneaked into the restaurant
through the side entrance.
Cameron and Sean arrived at the restaurantâs entrance and were about to enter when the restaurantâs
general manager intercepted them. He said politely, âI apologize, but the restaurant is at capacity, and
any free tables have been reserved by other guests. Iâm afraid we wonât be accepting other guests at
this time. Please consider dining elsewhere.â
Seanâs chin lifted slightly as he spoke in an unfriendly tone, âIâm here to meet someone, not for dining.
Let me pa*s.â
The general manager felt a headache coming on. The Pearsons were not to be trifled with, but this
person who had just arrived from Pendorf was equally formidable. He prayed with all his heart, that the
Pearsons would help him out after he resolved the matter.
âSir, please donât put me in a difficult position. This restaurant has been reserved by the Pearsons, and
they have invested a great deal of shares in this establishment. Iâm just an employee, and I truly canât
allow you entry,â the general manager bitterly explained his situation to Sean.
Why was it the Pearsons again?
Sean narrowed his eyes.
The Pearsons had always been rather mysterious and elusive whenever they conducted their affairs.
So, what was their connection to Abigail?
Why did they always appear wherever she was around?
âMr. Graham doesnât intend to dine in your restaurant. Heâs here to meet someone,â Cameron
explained to the general manager.
âIâm sorry, but the Pearsons have instructed that they have booked the entire restaurant for the night,
and no one else is allowed to enter,â the general manager said in resignation.
Sean sneered. âSo, youâre saying that if I want to meet someone in this restaurant today, Iâll have to
demolish the entire place?â
The general manager looked uneasy as he said wearily, âPlease give me some time to make a phone
call.â
âMake the call here,â Cameron said with a stern expression, and his demeanor was as cold as ice.
Sean regarded the general manager with a mirthless smile, causing the manager to break out in a
cold sweat.
He trembled as he took out his phone and dialed Lynetteâs number.
These outrageous blue-blooded⦠They either threatened his livelihood or tried to go for broke by
straight up suggesting they would demolish his restaurant. Just who on Earth was that person that they
were willing to go to such lengths for?
