Chapter 348
"Take your time!" Quinn said in a clipped tone. She knew that Chuck would definitely stay in the plaza. After all, the plaza had belonged to him and she could not force Chuck to leave.
She had no reason to do so.
She had an idea just now but she was still considering whether she should do it and whether she could pull it off.
"Don't rush, President Miller. Please sit for a while longer," Chuck replied. He knew that he was cooperating with Quinn on a project now, so he could not make her angry often.
"It's okay. I'm upset from the food," Quinn said and stood up to leave.
Chuck had no choice but to chase after her. Yet, he recalled that he had not paid for his meal yet, so he told Quinn to wait for him.
Chuck went to the front desk to pay the bill but the beauty there shook her head with a smile and said, "Sir, you don't have to pay. Our boss has already told us that you don't need to pay for anything when you visit in the future. Our boss hopes that you can come here every day."
Hearing this, Chuck was not too surprised. He knew that Zelda would definitely do this. However, Chuck felt that he should pay for his own meal. Hence, he wanted to transfer the money and it was then when Zelda came out. "Why are you so reserved around me?" Zelda asked.
"Sister Zelda..." Chuck said helplessly.
The eyes of the beauty at the front desk brightened. Was this man the boss' brother?
Yet, why did they look like such a good match?
"You don't have to be so courteous. Come here tomorrow and I'll cook for you. What do you want to eat?" Zelda spoke as she smiled faintly.
The beauty at the front desk was shocked. Was her boss going to cook for that man personally? Was her boss chasing after this guy? The man must be so lucky that he could make her boss go after him.
"Um, I don't think I'll be here tomorrow." Chuck could not guarantee that he would come. After all, by then, Betty should have finished the investigation that he had asked for.
Chuck had to be well-prepared for on that.
"It's okay. Anyway, no matter when you come, I'll cook for you," Zelda continued smilingly.
"Alright," Chuck replied and he left.
Zelda then instructed the employee, "Remember this man, as long as he comes, you must call me no matter what time it is." She had a lot of restaurants and she could not be at this branch every day. She could only stay here for ten consecutive days but she had to go to the other restaurants, or find a new place to open a new shop.
However, she would definitely cook for Chuck if he dropped by, after all... The things on her mind were so simple that she could not help but sigh at herself. Would there be any results between her and Chuck? She did not expect to marry Chuck but she just felt that it would be nice if she could have a child with him so that she would have a companion in the future.
"Understood," the beauty at the front desk complied and remembered Chuck's face. After all, she was transferred from another restaurant and had been with Zelda for some time now. Yet, this was the first time that Zelda was so attentive to a man.
Zelda must like this man very much.
After that, Zelda turned around and went back to the office. Suddenly, her cell phone rang. She took it out to have a look and found that it was her mother. Her temples started to throb, thinking that her mother must have called to ask her when she was going home.
"Mom," Zelda was helpless when she answered the call.
"It's been a long time. Why aren't you bringing your boyfriend home?" her mother's voice came from the other end.
"I don't have time, Mom, I have just launched a new shop over here," Zelda replied truthfully. She felt that Chuck was busy as well. She was embarrassed to let him follow her home again since he had spent a lot of money on his previous visit.
"Why didn't you tell me about the launch of the shop? Is Chuck by your side? Ask him to answer the phone," her mother said.
"Mom, he has his own business to attend to," Zelda answered.
"What? He's not even there with you when you're opening a new shop? Are you two having an argument? Let me tell you, Chuck is a good kid. You can't break up with him," her mother nagged.
"That's not the case!" Zelda immediately denied as she turned her head and looked outside. Chuck had already left. She sighed. This was not something she could call the shots for.
"Humph, you messed it up, didn't you?" Aaron smiled as he mocked. He had seen the scene clearly. He saw that Quinn, who he had wanted to get his hands on, left angrily. She must not like Chuck, so she left.
If Aaron had taken the initiative, he was sure that the result would have been different. He was experienced and as long as a woman agreed to come out for dinner with him, she would definitely be in his grasp. They would undoubtedly sleep together at night.
Chuck was rich but he did not have the ability. Aaron couldn't believe he had angered a woman.
"Eat your food. Why are you looking at others?" Patricia said sharply. Following that, Aaron was not happy but he dared not talk back. He finished the food obediently and they left after Patricia paid the bill.
Aaron asked if she was heading back and Patricia nodded. "Aaron, let me remind you one more time. Do not provoke that person ever again. If you don't listen to me, I'll deal with you when you return home. Do you understand?" Patricia warned. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
"I know," Aaron replied dejectedly.
After that, Aaron left. Patrica decided to browse around in the plaza before she drove her car out of the parking lot. Immediately, she saw that Chuck was waiting by the roadside. Patricia hesitated and then drove over. She rolled down her window and asked, "Mr. Cannon, where are you heading? I can give you a lift."
Patricia was particularly surprised to find that Chuck did not have a car to drive.
"Well, okay," Chuck replied. He had just said a few words to Quinn just now but she did not respond to him. He had then offered an apology to her but she dismissed it. After that, Quinn had driven away angrily.
Chuck thought that Quinn was acting like a spoiled child just now, especially when she was angered. Therefore, Chuck could not help but had the urge to do something naughty to her in the car.
Fortunately, Chuck was able to control himself.
Chuck opened the door to Patricia's car and got in. He was going to look for Yvette but she did not reply to his messages. He thought that she must be studying mixed martial arts, so there was
nothing he could do even if he went looking for her now.
Hence, Chuck could only go back to his mother's hotel. Chuck told Patricia that he was going to Hotel Luna. Hearing that, Patricia nodded and followed the navigation to the hotel. After a while, they reached the hotel and Chuck thanked Patricia after getting out of the car.
"You're welcome, Mr. Cannon. Whose hotel is this?" Patricia asked. She could tell that Hotel Luna was beyond five stars and it would be worth at least four billion dollars.
"Well, it's my friend's hotel," Chuck replied. He did not say that it was his mother's.
"Your friend? Mr. Cannon, this is your hotel, right?" Patricia asked doubtfully. She was determined that her hunch was right and she had to pay back the money. Otherwise, big trouble might happen sooner or later.
"No." Chuck did not lie either. It was not his because it was his mother's.
However, just as Chuck said this, a voice called him, "Young Master..."
Patricia's attention were attracted by the voice and she turned to see a woman walking over. It was Betty. Judging by her clothes, she should be the manager of the hotel and she had addressed Chuck as a young master. And so, Patricia was completely convinced that the hotel was truly his.
"Er, the hotel is really not mine. It belongs to my mother," Chuck could only admit it. Yet, Betty seemed to have just come back at a time like this. If she did, Chuck believed there should be news about his cousin.
"Well, Mr. Cannon was good at hiding," Patricia said meaningfully. She marvelled at the fact that Chuck's mother had such a prominent hotel and this might still be the tip of the iceberg. Chuck's background was indeed powerful.
Chuck coughed and thanked her. Patricia replied, "You're welcome. I'll be leaving now. I'm really sorry about what my brother did."
"It's fine," Chuck waved it off.
Patricia then left at ease. Aaron would not do anything to offend Chuck again, would he?
"Young Master, there's news about your cousin," Betty said.
"Okay. Betty, let's go back to the room and talk about it," Chuck said. He had to be careful as his cousin had already started to make a move on him.
"Okay." Betty followed Chuck upstairs and went back to the room. Following that, Chuck took a seat and Betty began to report to him.
......
On the other side of Central City, Willa felt lonely in the villa as she was by herself in the spacious building.
"Why hasn't Chucky come to see me yet?" Willa wondered aloud as she was a little disappointed and felt that she had no interest in doing anything else. In fact, she was particularly bored and wanted to go out for a walk, but there was no one to accompany her.
She returned to her room and took out the cat mask. She smiled at the thought of the kiss she had shared with Chuck.
Willa stared at the mask for a while and she was caught in a dilemma. "At this time, Chuck must be sleeping, so I can't call him. Then, I'd better go and find him. Anyway, he has started school and it seems that there will be an open ceremony, so..." she thought.
Willa recalled something and packed her things with a smile. After that, she went out and drove to her private airport. "Chucky, I'm going to visit you."
