CHAPTER 85 - THE QUIET ROAD

"Who is Chuck Cannon?"

To Manny Lowe and the other two ladies, he was a stranger. Who was he? Why was he looking for Chuck?

But Zelda Maine was stunned...

"I'm Chuck Cannon," Chuck said calmly.

Jay Yates came over and looked at Chuck. He didn't speak for a while.

It was extremely quiet.

The receptionist was confused. What was her big boss doing here?

This weird atmosphere made Manny and the other two ladies look at each other with some doubt in their disappointed eyes.

Manny thought, "Who is this man? Why is he looking for Chuck?"

The woman with tight jeans shook her head and said, "Damn it. Is the boss finally here? He was annoyed by Chuck's call and deliberately came looking for Chuck. Oh, Chuck, if you could not solve the problem, why did you do that? Why did you make the call? Now that you've made things difficult for him, wouldn't the boss ask us to pay more?"

At the thought of this, the woman cried even harder.

"I'm Jay Yates!" Jay suddenly said, introducing himself.

"Hello," Chuck said.

"Nice to meet you, and I'm sorry about today's matter. This vase issue has frightened your friends, hasn't it? Please accept my apologies, Mr Cannon!" Jay said politely.

His words shocked all the people present! "What? Apologize? My boss actually apologized to this person?" The receptionist was completely confused.

Manny and the other two ladies were flabbergasted. They were completely at fault, but Jay took the blame for it and apologized instead.

"What's going on? Am I hallucinating because I'm so desperate? Is the plaza really Chuck's? Does he really have two cars? Could it be that he could consume all luxuries at that five-star hotel without paying any money?'

At that moment, many questions flitted across their minds, leaving them dumbfounded and confused. Even though Zelda Maine was mentally prepared for this, her face was full of awe. Chuck himself said that he didn't know the boss there. But why did the boss come to apologize in person after only receiving a phone call?

The person who was the most shocked now was the middle-aged man who couldn't help pacing back and forth. He knew Jay's personality well. Jay usually wouldn't show anyone much respect, let alone apologize for a mistake that wasn't his, to begin with! Under usual circumstances, it would have been already a favour from him not to throw a tantrum and start beating people up.

But now everything was going the opposite! It was fine that Jay was not angry, but yet he apologized in return. And he was so polite... Was this really Jay Yates?

So, the middle-aged man was shocked beyond words. Who was this young man? He was called Chuck Cannon, he remembered. He had to go check his background!

"You're welcome..." Chuck said helplessly. The reason he made that call was only to ask that they could compensate him less. After all, it was really Manny and the other two ladies who were at fault.

"No, you don't have to be so polite. It's our management's problem. I shouldn't have put such a large item to decorate the corridor, causing an accident which frightened your friend, Mr. Cannon. As an apology, your friends can continue to stay at my hotel for a month free of charge!" Jay said sincerely.

What? It was shocking to see her boss admitting that he was wrong, but now these people were even invited to stay at the hotel for free. That was worth more than a million dollars! The receptionist was dumbstruck.

Manny and the other two ladies were even more dumbfounded!

"Well, you won't need to do that. My three aunts just came here to have fun. They won't stay for a month," Chuck said.

"No problem. Mr. Cannon. Your friends can stay here for the few days they are here then." Jay said very seriously, and then ordered the receptionist, "Miss Carson, these three distinguished guests must be well treated!"

"Yes, yes..." The receptionist nodded in a daze.

"Mr. Cannon, would you like to have a cup of tea if you have time?" Jay invited him earnestly.

"Alright."

Chuck nodded and said to Zelda Maine, "Zelda, wait for me. I'll come back here once I'm done."

"Alright." Zelda came to her senses and bit her lip nervously.

"This way please!"

Chuck followed Jay over. The middle-aged man was envious. Jay did not invite him to have tea!

Was he not worthy to have tea with this young man?

"I'm sorry for all the trouble earlier, you can go and have a rest in your rooms now," the receptionist said politely.

"Mom, aunties, let's go back to the rooms first!" Zelda said.

Manny and the ladies were at a loss. How could a matter of more than 30 million dollars be solved with just a few words? They felt like they were dreaming.

Zelda took them back to the room. The three of them were still very confused. The woman with tight jeans asked blankly, "Zelda, who is your boyfriend exactly?"

Zelda couldn't answer this question either. Anyway, in her heart, Chuck Cannon was becoming more and more mysterious to her.

"Is that plaza really his?"

"He's not a super-rich second generation, is he? Otherwise, why would the boss be so polite to him? But why is he so low-key?"

"Zelda, this boyfriend of yours is quite impressive. You need to make full use of him!"

"Yes, don't let him go. You must keep him in your grasp. It's hard to find such a man."

The two young women talked noisily. All of a sudden, they felt that everything in the room was commendable.

"The air is fresh. That's great!"

"Yeah, look at this bed. It's so comfortable, Oh, there's a milk bath provided!"

Surprised, the two women immediately took out their mobile phones to take selfies.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Zelda walked over and opened the door, and the receptionist was standing outside. "Hello, it's dinner time now. What would you like to order for your meal? This is the menu!"

Zelda was surprised because the food listed on the menu was all luxurious items, and there was no price listed. That meant that the meal would be free of charge.

"Mom, aunties, what would you like to eat? It's free." Zelda took the menu over.

Manny and the other two ladies were surprised. Free?

The three of them immediately looked at the menu, and the two women were shocked!

"Look, there has a lobster!"

"Wow, there's also steak. It's free. Oh my God, why would I ever eat outside?"

"Look at the caviar porridge served as their breakfast set! Alas, the fried buns I ate in the morning are really awful!"

"l want this!"

"I want this!"

Manny and the ladies ordered five dishes. The receptionist smiled and said, "Please wait a moment." Then she left with the menu. The three of them were looking forward to it.

"Zelda, do you use protection when you two do it?"

The woman with a pair of tight jeans suddenly asked. The woman in hot pants also looked at Zelda. Manny was also looking forward to her answer. This boyfriend of hers was really something. Zelda was embarrassed. Of course, she knew what they were asking about. She could only nod and say yes.

"Don't use protection the next time. It's best if you get pregnant, don't you know? He has so much money! You have to get pregnant to keep him!"

The two aunties suggested this idea, and Manny also began daydreaming. What would her daughter and Chuck's child look like?

Zelda, however, had a strange feeling in her heart. "Should I offer myself to him? But how? He fancies Yvette. What if he does not want me?" She sighed.

She didn't know what to do.

"Zelda, I have no objection to it. You'd better seize this opportunity. You're not that young," Manny said.

Zelda nodded after a moment of silence. "How will I seize the opportunity? We don't have that kind of relationship at all..."

Chuck walked out of Jay's office. He wanted to call Zelda, but when he walked over, he saw Zelda waiting in the car. Chuck went over and opened the door. "How are they?"

"They are fine. Thank you for today's matter," Zelda said.

She really didn't know what to say. Just now, Manny and the other two gave her some suggestive ideas. They even taught her some tricks on how to seduce Chuck. But what was the true relationship between Chuck and herself?

They were just pretending to be a couple. Although she did help him last night, Zelda's heart was in a mess. She felt that the gap between Chuck and herself was getting bigger.

She had thought that they were of similar statuses, but... it was different now.

"Let's go," Zelda prompted.

Chuck had no objections. Zelda drove.

There were very few people on the road, and it was very quiet inside the car. After pondering for a while, she suddenly stopped the car by the roadside. There was no one around. Chuck was taken aback. What was Zelda planning to do?
