Chapter 2166 +15 BONUS
Omar held a tablet in his hands that ran on an independent system. It kept updated records of influential figures from all walks of life, exclusively for Sky Garden reservations.
Andrewโs name appeared prominently in the top three, which left Omar shaken to his core.
Ophelia sensed something was wrong and frowned. โMr. Henson, what is it?โ
Omar wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly said, โIโItโs nothingโฆโ Then, he glanced at Andrew and quickly added, โI apologize, Mr. Lloyd, for offending you earlier. Please wait, Iโll invite our owner to come over right away.โ
Opheliaโs jaw dropped. She could not believe what she was hearing. Why would they need to bring out the owner himself? After all, the owner was one of Terror Townโs top tycoons. She exhaled sharply and convinced herself Omar was calling the owner for Elijahโs sake. Thinking she had figured it out, she smugly raised her chin again.
Meanwhile, Chantelleโs family looked uneasy. They all wondered why Omar would bring the owner out here. Could it be to punish them somehow?
Sofia, who always avoided trouble, whispered, โAndy, maybe we should just leave.โ
Andrew looked surprised. โLeave? Why would we leave? Didnโt he just say heโs inviting the owner to welcome us?โ
Ophelia sneered. โYou think Mr. Glover is coming for you? Donโt make me laugh. Even Mr. Knowles, our so-called Prince of Terror Town, doesnโt get that kind of treatment. Who do you think you are?โ
Andrew looked at her calmly. โThereโs one word to describe you: idiot.โ
Opheliaโs face turned as black as thunderclouds, and she swore silently she would make this country bumpkin pay.
Just then, the restaurantโs owner himself, Maxwell Glover, arrived. He was tall and lean, wearing glasses, with the imposing air of a man used to control.
Opheliaโs eyes lit up as she rushed forward. โMr. Glover, hello!โ
However, Maxwell ignored her completely. Instead, he walked straight to Andrew, bowed slightly, and said with a warm smile, โMr. Lloyd, welcome to my restaurant. Just a few minutes ago, I heard from Mr. Hawkins that you had arrived in Terror Town! I had been planning to invite you myself, and I canโt believe youโre already here.โ
Andrew smiled. โYouโre the owner of this restaurant? What should I call you?โ
Maxwell kept his posture very humble. โIโm Maxwell Glover, Mr. Lloyd. If you donโt mind, just call me Max.โ
Patrick and Sofiaโs family were completely stunned on the spot. Maxwell was a legend in Terror Townโs restaurant industry. The man was nearly 60 and had long retreated behind the scenes, living the life of a powerful figure who controlled situations from the shadows. Yet here he was, lowering himself before Andrew, who was not even 30!
Andrew urged, โMr. Glover, I only came to have a meal. But your staff have been nothing but difficult. Since youโre here, please arrange it quickly.โ
Maxwell made a respectful gesture. โMr. Lloyd, the Sky Garden is yours alone tonight. Also, on behalf of my staff, I apologize for their ignorance and disrespect.โ
He shot a glare at Omar and Jasmine, who immediately rushed forward. They nearly dropped to their knees as they begged Andrew for forgiveness.
And so Andrew led Chantelle and her family straight to the very top to dine.
Ophelia, left behind downstairs, finally lost her cool. โMr. Glover, what is the meaning of this? Mr. Knowles is on his way! If you give the Sky Garden to them, what about our Mr. Knowles?โ
Maxwell, focused entirely on Andrew, waved her off. โMs. Barclay, kindly tell Mr. Knowles that if he wishes to book the Sky Garden, heโll have to wait for another time.โ
