THE CONTINENTAL HEIR 12. A Vip Meal
The couple rested their curious gaze on Lucian. They didn't hide their astonishment as they glanced at his clothes. "What on earth are you doing here, Lucian?" Billy asked with mockery, lacing his tone while he pulled Veronica closer. "Are you stalking us now?" Lucian shook his head. He was aware Billy wanted to provoke him as usual, but he kept his cool because he didn't care about Veronica anymore, making a smile crawl up his face. "I know you are foolish, Billy, but I didn't know you're this dumb not to realize what people do in a restaurant."Billy's face instantly hardened by Lucian's comment, but he forced out a smile masking his annoyance. "The people who come to a ten-star restaurant are not the likes of you Lucian," Billy sneered. "Do you even know how much is a meal in this?""No I don't but I intend to pay for it so get out of my way," Lucian said, making his way to the front desk when Veronica blocked his way. Lucian's expressionless face stared at her before shifting to
THE CONTINENTAL HEIR 13. You Will Lose Your Job
Lucian's expression was cold as his eyes dagger at the Lady behind the counter. She shrugged her shoulders and adjusted the strand of hair to the back of her ear to show she was unaffected by the rising tension. Billy and Veronica, favored by the situation, had a smile resting on their faces.Lucian clenched his fist. "Is that how you speak to your guests?!" his voice was laced with anger. other customers exiting the Prime Restaurant stared at him and Gladys quickly flashed them a smile before turning to Lucian with a glare."Did you just call yourself a guest?" Gladys pursed her lips, and when Lucian didn't respond, she rolled her eyes, irritated by his presence. "This is a ten-star restaurant for Christ's sake, not a place for poor people like you!""You don't even know me," Lucian replied, his anger disintegrating into a smile. "Of course, I know people like you. You are the type who claims he would be paying for a VIP table when in reality you can't afford to pay for your tuition!
THE CONTINENTAL HEIR 14. Get Me The Manager
"Call the manager and inform him that Lucian Morningstar is here," Lucian instructed Patricia, who nodded her head while her hand briskly picked up the desk phone to call the manager. Though the sound of owning the restaurant threatened to place a smile on Lucian's lips, he quickly discarded it, as the thought of being underestimated by both Billy and the staff sent rage through his veins. He isn't the Lucian who was being bullied and underestimated by society, and like he had promised, anybody who did that would not go unpunished.A few minutes later, a skinny blonde man in a black suit appeared in the lobby with a nervous smile playing on his lips. When he arrived at the front desk, he shifted his gaze from Patricia to Lucian, whose expression was still cold. Though he hadn't met Mr.Lucian Morningstar, he could tell from the lady's nervous gaze that the young man standing in front of her was their boss.“Pleasant evening, Mr.Morningstar,” the manager greeted with a smile, which Luci
THE CONTINENTAL HEIR 15. Consequences
Different feelings soared through the atmosphere. Lucian, who sat in the chairman's chair, proudly raised his head at the revelation. The manager, whose eyes looked like they were about to burst out of their eye socket, stared at Gladys with a white face, while Gladys, whose weight of action and words dawned on her, stood on shaky legs. Her eyes panned at Lucian, mixed with disbelief and panic. Feeling her lungs short for air, she scrambles to her knees. "Please, sir, I didn't know who you were. Please forgive me," she lamented, tears pricking the corners of her eyes. Lucian, who wore a stern expression, stared at Gladys, who continuously bowed her head to the ground, hoping her pleas would ease whatever punishment would be thrown at her.The manager, noticing Lucian's silence, rushed forward, also bowing his head apologiously. "I'm sorry, sir, I have failed to train the staff to have the basic attributes required by a ten-star "restaurant," Mark said, hoping Lucian would give a reply
THE CONTINENTAL HEIR 16. Dinner
Lucian raised his gaze at the person who placed a knock on the front door before entering his office. Anna's figure appears in her new clothes; she wears a red shirt with the restaurant logo printed on it and a matching red shirt that reveals her long legs. After Lucian had resolved the issues with Gladys, he instantly promoted Anna to oversee the staff, working as the frontman of the restaurant, especially the receptionist to avoid the stunt Gladys had pulled. Lucian raised his gaze to meet Anna, who had been on her toes since the few minutes she had been promoted. She cleared her throat and stepped forward. “Sir, your reservation is ready.” She said, with little composure, and even through her professional facade Lucian could see the nervousness lingering in her eyes; she was new to her job and hadn't made any mistake or offended any customer which was the sole reason for her promotion but being in the presence of someone who could make her lose her job with the flick of his fing
THE CONTINENTAL HEIR 17. Damsel In Distress
The men watched, as the figure exited the luxury car parked in front of them, and a frown appeared on their faces, as they stared at Lucian, who also reciprocated their action with a sneer. The men tightened their hold on the girl, who whimpered with pain escaping her mouth. The taller man, who had a scar on his top brow, scoffs with irritation. “This is none of your busy boy, get lost!” The man growls, making Lucian clench his fist while his legs are rooted to the ground. The shorter man, seeing Lucian, was adamant about their instructions: glance from him to his colleague before pulling out a knife from his back pocket. “You don't want to mess with us, boy! Leave, if you know what is good for you!” the shorter man spat. Lucian stood his ground, sending a dangerous gaze between the men. The shorter man noticed Lucian wasn't scared, averted the knife to the girl's throat and she shuddered with tears flowing down her cheek. “P…Please don't hurt me.“ the girl stuttered, struggling
THE CONTINENTAL HEIR 18. Henry's Demand
Lucian's frowns deepen as he shifts his gaze from the injured men on the floor to the group slamming iron bats on their hands. They all wore black masks except for Henry, who dressed differently from them and wouldn't stop grinning. A satisfied expression spread across his features since his plan to get Lucian off his car in a lone street was successful. Lucian instantly turned to see if the girl he was trying to save was also part of Henry's plan, and when she inched closer to him, she hid her shuddering body away from the prying eyes of Henry's men. Mason shrugged off the thought since she was a victim of Henry's vicious plan. He remembers Henry making threats, but he didn't expect him to pull something like this."I see, you were able to handle these two idiots," Henry said, placing his boot on top of their heads until one of them let out a whisper from the pain. "You must feel like a hero for saving that girl, don't you think?" he grinned, his tone laced with sarcasm, but Lucian
THE CONTINENTAL HEIR 19. Get Him
Lucian raised his gaze to the shattering rain pouring on the city, leaving the predatory eyes of the men staring from him to the girl handing in his shadow. None of the cars driving by dare to stop or interact, including the pedestrian who instantly retreats away from their destination when they come across the scene, as they assume the men with the mask and bat are from a gang, which always results in Violence. The rain became heavy, and none of the thugs seemed affected by the weather, especially the man who was skillfully swinging his bat, ready to attack.A dangerous smile crawled into Lucian's lips at the adrenaline running through his veins. His eyes watched every move made by his opposition. Predicting the thug's next move, Lucian lunges forward before the man can get closer to him. He quickly ducked his head, avoiding the flying bat that swung above him, and with the force of his clenched fist, he sent a heavy blow into the man's gut.With a loud groan, the masked man stagge
