Chapter 324

Minnie did not even wait for an answer before she lost her patience.

"You must be the new kid, huh? I won't hold it against you if you're inexperienced. Just go get your manager, now!"

The waitress blushed with embarrassment, but she did not back down. Working at a place this fancy meant she was no pushover.

"I'm sorry, miss. I am indeed new and still learning. If this was about anything else, I'd say you're right-it's on me. But when it comes to our guests' privacy, not even the manager can bend the rules." Her attempt to calm things down only made Minnie mare furious.

"Even if it doesn't make a difference, I demand to speak with your manager! What's a waitress like you doing, trying to boss me around? You don't even know your place! This is your last chance. Are you calling your manager or not?"

The waitress had never seen a customer like this since she had started working.

Minnie's voice was so loud that the lobby manager caught wind of the fuss and came over. She bowed to Minnie and said with utmost courtesy, "Miss, I'm so sorry that our service has upset you. I'm the lobby manager. Please, let me know what's wrong." Minnie stood with her arms folded and her chin up, exuding an air of superiority. "This waitress' attitude is terrible. You should just fire her!"

The lobby manager kept her smile. "She's new, just started a few days ago. Newcomers need a bit of practice, right? Since she's spoiled your meal, I'll take over and serve you myself. How's that sound?"

Her response was a masterstroke, giving Minnie the respect she craved without letting her meddle in staff matters.

The lobby manager's diplomacy won silent applause from those watching.

Minnie, having embarrassed herself, could only huff in annoyance, unable to regain her composure.

"I don't care who works for you, but I know Mr. Walter Gordon of the Gordon family is here, and I want to share a table with him. Are you going to take me to him or not?" Saying this, Minnie's hand landed on Alex's wheelchair as if she was about to whisk him away.

The lobby manager's face showed her dilemma,

"Look, I'm really sorry, but I can't let you into Mr. Walter Gordon's private room," said the lobby manager with a forced politeness that did not quite mask her refusal to Minnie.

"Our guests' privacy is a top priority here. I have no idea how you found out Mr. Walter Gordon was eating here, but he's in a private room for a reason-he doesn't want to be bothered." "Okay, if you don't trust me, that's your call. But surely you recognize this guy?" Minnie nodded toward Alex, who she was nudging forward.

"This is Mr. Walter Gordon's brother, Alex. They bumped into each other right here in your restaurant.

Think carefully about whether you want to keep us out here or not."

The lobby manager's forehead glistened with sweat, but she clamped her mouth shut, lost in thought.

The standoff continued in silence, neither side willing to break it.

Meanwhile, inside the private room, Evangeline and Walter heard every word of the exchange.

Walter, in particular, felt a sting when he realized Alex had arrived, linking it instantly to the smirk that had danced on Evangeline's lips. Chapter 325
