Chapter 38: Your Fiancé

There was a trace of confusion in everyone's eyes as Andrew walked away. But, they did not give it a second thought, as they thought that a pauper like Connor could do nothing, even if he had someone to his rescue.

Mandy and Brandon still stared with contempt at Connor, as if they were waiting for Andrew to fix Connor.

"Maya, forget about this matter today, will you? You have achieved your purpose. Anyone can make mistakes. Forgive him if it's possible." The girl in a business suit hesitated before whispering to the pretty girl.

"No, I have to fix him today. You don't know how much I hate him. He deliberately took advantage of me yesterday." The pretty girl pouted, muttering angrily.

The girl in a business suit could only sigh helplessly and did not want to intervene.

Brandon focused his attention on the two beautiful women who could be regarded as the best of the best, and they were in a different league altogether compared to someone like Mandy. He did not really love Mandy. Instead, he was just playing her. Hesitating for a moment, he then walked over to the pretty girl with a flattering look.

As Brandon went to chat with another girl in front of her, Mandy was resentful. But, she did not dare to say anything. She just stood awkwardly on the spot.

Connor saw that and could not help but smirk.

"What are you laughing at?" Mandy looked not too happy when she knew what Connor was gloating about.

Connor looked at Mandy, shaking his head but said nothing.

"Hey, beautiful, what is your name?" Brandon smiled and asked the pretty girl.

"Who are you? Get away from me!" The pretty girl brushed Brandon off by replying in a disgusted tone.

Brandon might have helped her once, but she felt that the guy was a scum because he tried to chat her up in front of his girlfriend. That really offended her.

Smiling awkwardly, Brandon turned around and returned to Mandy's side.

Just then, Andrew ran back nervously with Connor's phone in his hand. He was sweating profusely as if he had just come out of a sauna. Everyone had a puzzled look on their faces when they saw Andrew's expression. They did not get it. Was Andrew not just taking a call? How did he suddenly become so panicked? But, they may not know that the New Century Restaurant was actually owned by the Empire World Corporation, the chairman of which was Connor.

Andrew had no idea that he had unknowingly offended the chairman of the restaurant. He knew he had screwed up so much that he was even thinking of killing himself, right now. "I am really sorry, Mr. McDonald. I have just learned that you are indeed a VIP of our restaurant. I apologize to you for what I have done," Andrew said respectfully as he walked up to Connor.

Everyone was rooted to the spot, looking shocked, when Andrew suddenly groveled in front of Connor. Who would have thought that Andrew would look like a different person after taking the phone call?

Thomas had just specifically instructed Andrew that he must not reveal Connor's identity. That was why Andrew talked to Connor like that. Or else, he would have gotten down on his knees and kowtowed to Connor. He was a just insignificant restaurant manager, yet he had followed the outsiders to attack and kick the chairman out of his own restaurant. He must have a death wish.

The pretty girl, Brandon, Mandy, and others were all utterly shocked.

"What did you say, Mr. Sullivan? How could he possibly be the guest of honor in your restaurant?" The pretty girl stepped out and asked with a frown.

"So, can I go now?" Connor looked at Andrew nonchalantly.

"Sure, sure." Andrew nodded respectfully at Connor and ignored the pretty girl.

Connor took the phone back from Andrew and left as everyone looked on.

Both Mandy and Brandon looked at Connor from behind, not knowing what happened.

"What is going on, Mr. Sullivan? How can you let him go?" The pretty girl asked the restaurant manager, looking not too happy.

"What happened today was a misunderstanding, Ms. Phillips. That gentleman is indeed a VIP of New Century Restaurant. He is a guest of Private Dining Room One." Andrew explained helplessly as he wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.

"A guest of Private Dining Room One?" The girl in a business suit and the pretty girl looked stunned when they heard that.

"Did you make a mistake? The two of us are guests in Private Dining Room One. That guy must be lying just now, Mr. Sullivan. You should catch him," the pretty girl shouted.

"I am not mistaken. He is indeed a guest of Private Dining Room One. We have a reservation record at the reception, and it was Mr. McDonald who made the reservation," Andrew said with a frown.

"That's impossible. You must have made a mistake. It was my cousin who made the reservation. How could it be that guy?" As the pretty girl spoke, she turned to look at the girl in a business suit.

"You may take a look for yourself at the reservation record if you don't believe me, Ms. Phillips," Andrew explained helplessly and did not want to argue with her.

"I'll take a look. I don't believe that a food delivery guy can afford to dine in this restaurant." The pretty girl was not convinced.

"That won't be necessary. It wasn't me but my fiancé who made the reservation." The girl in a business suit said in a low voice, biting her lip.

"What?" The pretty girl was wide-eyed with a shocked look on her face. Andrew said that it was Connor who made the reservation, and the girl in a business suit denied that she made the reservation and said that it was her fiancé who she had never met who did that.

"Could it be that the guy is your fiancé?" The pretty girl covered her mouth in disbelief as she suddenly figured it out.

"That's impossible." There was a hint of helplessness in the eyes of the girl in a business suit. She had never met her fiancé. The Phillips family was a prominent family in Porthampton, and she was the only daughter. So, no matter what, it was impossible that she was to marry someone like Connor. Even if she had to marry, she should marry someone from other prominent families in Porthampton.

"Let's go. Let's go in to find Connor now and see what's going on, shall we?"

The pretty girl hesitated for a moment and then dragged the girl in a business suit back to Private Dining Room One..
