"I'm not lying. I told you from the beginning that my friend helped me book the place," Nate replied in an annoyed tone. He clenched his hands into fists, trying to restrain himself from getting angry in public."You still want to deny it? Didn't you hear what my friend who is the manager here said, even if only the president and the prince's family can book a place here? You should think first if you want to deceive people. If you get caught like this, it's not only you who will be embarrassed but also Erica because you've deceived her best friend," Jerdin checked with a grinning smile. He was satisfied that he had embarrassed Nate in front of everyone, especially in front of Riley."Then let's just see if my name is in the reservation book or not!" Nate exclaimed. He had lost his patience because of Jerdin and Max's annoying remarks and attitude, especially since Riley also doubted him."All right, you losers. Let's see who's lying here!" exclaimed Max. he then told his manager frie

Nate rolled his eyes lazily. All the while he felt that there was something strange about this atmosphere. He remained silent with the wine bottle still in front of him, with no intention of touching it.He just watched Riley's empty glass and waited for her to pour the wine into her glass."Nate?" called Riley, she furrowed her brow in confusion because Nate was just silent and did not quickly open the wine bottle. "You won't open it for me?"Riley looked annoyed. It was just a matter of uncorking the bottle, Nate had to be so arrogant in front of everyone. Or did he have a bad personality? That's why a lot of people disliked him and he was also a poor person who could never improve."Are you upset that we're having lunch here because of Jerdin and Max's kindness? And they also bought me wine?" asked Riley, "after all, it's a normal thing, you should be grateful that we didn't get into trouble and enjoy a delicious and luxurious lunch like this," he said.Jerdin and Max grinned in sa

Nate grinned with satisfaction. He couldn't hide the smile that perched on his face as Max was berated by Franco and thrown out without mercy. His pride must have been shattered by all of Franco's cold and rude behavior towards him.Of course, who wouldn't feel embarrassed and angry when he was kicked out just like that after he bragged about everything in front of Riley as if he was the most important person in the world? And now, the CEO showed up and kicked them out like useless trash."You can't do this to me!" Max shouted unhappily at Franco. "I'm a longtime customer here. And you just kicked me out?""From the beginning, this place was booked by Bluebell's president. And you, you're here because of the carelessness of my manager who was more concerned with the friendship of the two of you than me, his boss!" Franco shouted, "If you still have a conscience and don't want to see me fired, you'd better shut your mouth and get out of here quietly. That's if you're still willing to d

After Franco left, they got a new table. They also got a more expensive meal than the one Max had ordered before. Everything looked luxurious, especially with the ten million dollar bottle of wine that Franco had prepared to replace the broken bottle.Nate smiled with satisfaction as the wine was served one by one to each of them. Max and Jerdin, on the other hand, had annoyed faces after the defeat and embarrassment they had suffered.Now they were sitting at a fancy table, with fancy food and drinks too. And all because of Nate. Their pride was being trampled on. Especially seeing Nate's mocking smile and arrogant attitude."This is much more luxurious than the previous meal," Riley said with a wide smile as he began to savor the food in front of him. He was very grateful to Nate and his friend because thanks to them, he could enjoy expensive food and wine worth 10 million dollars."Well, it's thanks to my friends," Nate boasted. He glanced at Max and Jerdin who were silent without

Nate thought she was crazy and obsessed with him so much that she wanted to meet President Bluebell so badly that she did everything she could. And that made Nate feel even more resentful and dislikeable of her.To Nate, Riley was a problematic woman to avoid. The type of woman who would act violently and do unexpected things if she wanted something. Nate had to be vigilant in every action because Riley would always target President Bluebell, whom he was constantly monitoring.You may wish to see me, but I'll never let that happen, Nate thought to himself.He had to tighten the security and hire more bodyguards to guard the restaurant during the party so that Riley couldn't do anything at the party.He needed to make sure Riley would never know his true identity, including other people. Because as long as he had no intention of publishing his identity in front of everyone, he would not let a single person know. And if there was anyone who needed to know, Erica would be the first to kn
