Chapter 1240
The waiter was flattered. "Well."
"How old are you? Are you a college student too?" Anthea seemed very interested in him. "Are you working part-time here? You are very handsome, and tall, good-shaped. You're more suitable to be a model! We can hang out sometimes!"
The waiter was still young.
Now a pretty girl struck up a conversation with him. He blushed and felt that this girl liked him, so he cleared his throat and said, "Okay, of course."
"Alex, what are you doing? There is a guest ordering food now!"
The manager ran over at this critical moment and interrupted them seriously.
The waiter dared to flirt with the landlady in front of the boss. He was seeking death!
The waiter nodded quickly and left with a guilty look.
Anthea glanced sideways.
Adam sat there steadily. Only his side face, which was handsome and smooth, could be seen. He was tilting his head toward outside of the window, as if he was enjoying the night view and turning a deaf ear to the conversation between her and the waiter.
Anthea held her breath.
All right then!
At this time, the desserts were served.
Amelie tasted it and said to Adam with a smile, "You should have a try. This dessert is really good. It's soft and special!"
Amelie split the desert into pieces with the knife and put them in his plate.
Adam's eyes swept over them lightly. He neither responded nor rejected as he had just done.
Amelie seemed to have been encouraged. Her features were all bright. She poured tea into his cup and smiled confidently. She talked with him with a gentle voice, and the atmosphere was particularly good. People probably thought that they were lovers.
Anthea took a bite of the chicken leg viciously. She knew Amelie did it on purpose!
Glancing at the poker-faced Adam, she clenched her fists.
Looks like she needed to use her trump card now!
She took out her mobile phone and pretentiously checked the phone book. After a while, she called someone. "Hello, Young Master Chiang, are you
busy? Oh, it's nothing. If you are free now, I want to have dinner with you. I'm now in the restaurant near the river."
Suddenly, the phone was snatched away by someone.
Anthea was shocked.
A shadow covered her head. She opened her eyes innocently. "Ah! What are you doing?"
Adam hung up the phone and switched it off.
He looked terrible. "Don't you have something to tell me?"
"Oh, you have time now?" Anthea's eyelashes fluttered. She shrugged and said, "But I'm afraid I don't have time for now. I just called Young Master Chiang. I think he'll be here in no time." Before she could finish, Adam pulled her up from the seat.
The big hand grabbed hers and they left without saying anything.
Looking at his tight lips, Anthea snickered.
Amelie, who was still sitting in her seat, looked pale.
She stared at their backs, her eyes frozen, and did not move for a long time.
She had been so happy to see them break up. The two of them were like strangers one second ago, but the next second, they left hand in hand, which made her fall from heaven to hell again! The guests at the next table all looked at her with sympathy.
She was hurt by their look, and her beautiful eyes were filled with strong resentment.
Clenching the glass in her hand, she tried desperately to resist the impulse to smash it on the ground.
Adam held Anthea's hand and walked out of the restaurant with an overbearing momentum. When they passed by the entrance hall, they stopped.
The manager standing there immediately nodded respectfully and said, "Mr. Chin!"
Adam glanced at the waiter beside him and said coldly, "He doesn't need to work here tomorrow."
"Yes, sir!" The manager replied with fear.
Adam looked away coldly and led Anthea away with vigorous strides.
Anthea was not as tall as him and had great difficulty in keeping pace with him.
Adam directly bent down and carried her on his back. After walking out of the restaurant, he stuffed her into the jeep and galloped away in the dark.
After they disappeared, the waiter was on the verge of tears. "Manager, I don't know she is the landlady."
The manager patted him on the shoulder with sympathy.
After he comforted the waiter that he would arrange for him to work in other restaurants, the waiter sadly went to do the last day's work. When the manager turned around, he saw Shelby rushing downstairs rapidly.
He knew that she was the daughter of the Jillson family, so he nodded to her and then was about to leave.
However, Shelby caught his sleeve tightly.
She stared at him with disbelief and asked, "Tell me, the man who just left. Is he the owner of this restaurant?" Shelby felt very depressed today.
When she was in the Hsu family in the afternoon, her aunt, Madam Jiles, had warned her that her parents had already found her sneaking back. Even if she did not return to Country Mina hurry tomorrow, she would be sent away again in two days!
She wanted to have some fun before she left, so she invited a good friend to have dinner here.
Unexpectedly, when she went downstairs to the bathroom, she learned something that had totally blown her mind.
"Yes, this restaurant belongs to Mr. Chin!" The manager replied.
Shelby's body trembled. She grabbed the manager forcefully and yelled with a harsh voice, "What did you say? Your boss is Adam? You said that Anthea was your boss's woman last time! How could it be? Why are they together?"
"This is their private affair. We have no right to ask." The manager frowned. After pulling out his sleeve, he excused himself. "Sorry, Miss Jiles, I still have work to do!"
After the manager left, Shelby was still standing there, stunned.
Adam had never taken a fancy to her. Instead, he had taken a fancy to Anthea?
Shelby's mind was filled with many images. During the military training in September last year, a lot of things that had happened were weird, which now all made sense.
No!
She couldn't accept it!
She seemed to become insane, and her face turned pale. She shook her head and muttered, "Impossible, it's impossible! I don't believe it! I absolutely don't believe it! Anthea is obviously a mistress of an old man. How could she be Adam's woman?"
"She has to call Adam uncle. How could they secretly get together?"
Shelby had not recovered from the shocking news.
Someone suddenly walked up to her. She raised her head and saw a valiant woman.
