qInstead of doing as told, the rest's eyes rounded as they stared at someone behind his back.
“I said, call the police. Are you deaf?” the manager hollered. He whipped his phone out to dial the number. “Useless
bunch of fools! I have to do this myself...”
Before he could finish, a slender arm shot out to grab his phone. An icy voice rang out, “The universal emergency
number is 911.”
“I know...” the manager replied before turning at this shoulder.
He froze at the sight that greeted him.
The young man was standing right behind him, dialing the number 911 on his phone!
“911, what's your emergency?”
As the dispatcher's voice rang out, the young man handed the phone to the manager. Arching a brow, he gestured
for the manager to answer.
The manager's face turned colorless as his entire being trembled. All words died in his throat.
“Why are you silent? Didn't you want to call the police?” The young man raised his brows. “Speak.”
“T-That's not necessary...” the manager stammered. He grabbed the phone hastily and said, “Wrong number,”
before hanging up without hesitation.
“If it's something serious, call the police. Don't be scared.” The young man patted his shoulder and gave words of
encouragement. “I'm here to pick up my stuff. Excuse me.”

The next morning, after returning from the hospital, Morgan reported to Charlotte and mentioned that the
restaurant at the foot of the hill had closed down. No one was in sight.
That's strange.
Furrowing her brows, Lupine demanded, “Lupine, did Jade and Emma scare them off?”
“Uh...” Lupine turned to look at Jade and Emma.
“We're innocent, Ms. Lindberg!” Jade promptly explained everything. In the end, she concluded, “We were polite
enough, but that buyer was really rude.”
“Yes,” Emma said indignantly. “The manager was nice enough to apologize, but that buyer was hot-tempered. He's
a little short, though. Can you believe he actually pinned the manager to the chopping block when he was yelled at?
The cleaver could've hurt the manager easily!”
“Yes, that manager was shaking fearfully and nearly wetted his pants.”
Charlotte chuckled. “Really? You didn't make it up, did you?”
“Of course not!” Jade and Emma provided more details. “That buyer was shorter than me, but he seems really
vicious.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Okay, that's enough,” Charlotte interjected. “I'm glad you weren't rude to them. Prepare the car. I'm going to the
company now.”
“Yes, Ms. Lindberg!”
Jade and Emma went to do as instructed, and Morgan left to deal with other matters.
Lupine suggested, “Did the owner close down the restaurant in fear of offending us?”
“I don't think so. Jade and Emma said they were polite.” Charlotte sipped on her tea. “That buyer was really young
and impetuous. Wait a minute...”
