Chapter 23
“Oh, yeah? On what grounds?” Lindsey crossed her arms over her chest and fearlessly met his ferocious gaze.
At this, Ismael subconsciously took a step back, his face flushed.
The fat on his face jiggled as he stuttered, “I-I’m the dean! I have every right to expel you!”
Domenic turned his head casually and said to the waiter beside him without looking at the two, “Call your boss over and tell him that someone’s disturbing the peace here.
I want him to be removed from the restaurant.
”
His domineering aura seemed to tame the waiter, because the latter nodded repeatedly and left to look for the restaurateur.
After a while, the restaurateur came.
Seeing Domenic amidst the crowd, the initial impatience on his face turned into shock and panic.
Who on earth would dare to provoke this big shot?
As the restaurateur around here, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and approach them uneasily.
However, just as he was about to greet Domenic, the latter shot him a warning glance.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
The restaurateur, smart as he was, took the hint.
He turned to look at Nina and Ismael and said solemnly, “Excuse me, but someone reported you two for stirring up trouble here.
Please leave now.
”
Both Nina and Ismael looked at him in shock.
“Who the hell are you to kick us out? We’re paying customers! The customer is always right, don’t you know that?!”
“I’m the owner of this restaurant.
I can decide whom not to serve,” the restaurateur replied coldly.
With a wave of his hand, several security guards came over and surrounded Nina and Ismael.
“Do you want to leave by yourselves? Or should I ask them to make you leave?”
Nina was a little scared.
She tugged at Ismael’s sleeve with a sense of urgency.
Ismael didn’t dare to fight these burly security guards, but it was the first time that he had been so humiliated, and he couldn’t suppress his anger.
He pointed at the restaurateur and hissed fiercely, “Just you wait and see.
I’ll make sure this dump’s closed by tomorrow!”
“I’ll wait.
” The restaurateur still kept smiling at them politely, though his eyes were cold.
Ismael huffed and turned around, looking a little embarrassed.
Nina shot Lindsey one last murderous glare before leaving to catch up to her sugar daddy.
When the two troublemakers were gone, the restaurateur hurriedly bowed to Lindsey and Domenic and apologized profusely.
“I’m sorry that your meal was disturbed due to our poor management.
In order to express my sincere apologies, your meal’s on the house.
What do you think?”
He raised his head ever so briefly to steal a glance at Domenic, then he quickly bowed his head again.
His life was on the Line here, and he was scared out of his wits that this big shot would actually close down his restaurant.
“Well, what do you think?” Domenic asked Lindsey for her opinion.
Lindsey knew that the restaurateur wasn’t to blame, so she said considerately, “This matter has nothing to do with the restaurant, and he handled it very well.
”
At this, Domenic’s expression softened.
“As long as you’re satisfied, I have no objection.
”
The restaurateur, who had been secretly observing Domenic’s reaction, was utterly shocked.
He had seen Domenic several times before, and this big shot always wore a cold poker face.
The restaurateur had never seen such a gentle look on his face before.
He couldn’t help but survey Lindsey out of the corner of his eye, wondering who this woman was.
After the restaurateur and the security guards bowed and left, Lindsey looked at Domenic strangely and mused, “Why do I get the feeling that the restaurateur’s afraid of you?”
“Oh?” Expressionless, Domenic sat back in his seat calmly.
“Maybe it’s because I look scary.
