There was a brief silence in the car.
Ernest seemed like he was going to go head to head with Quill. He spoke harshly as if he wanted to force him.
After a long while, Quill took out his mobile phone and started to make a call.
Ernest squinted his eyes and asked, "What are you doing?" "I'm calling a driver for you," Quill said.
Ernest was stunned and then he laughed. "Do you have to do that? It's just a joke. Why do you have to act as if you were bullied?" He said.
Quill ignored him. He had already made the phone call. Upon seeing this, Ernest felt helpless and reached out to press the screen.
"Let's stop it, shall we? My head hurts. Let's go home," Ernest finally said.
Quill turned his head and looked at him with an expressionless face. His eyes were blank.
"Remember that you still owea favor. You haven't paid it back. I'll find another opportunity to ask for it in the future," Ernest said as he retracted his hand. He leaned against the seat and closed his eyes with a tired look. Quill didn't argue with him anymore upon seeing his friend being uncomfortable. He put his phone away and started driving.
As the sun was setting, the sky gradually darkened. There were more customers in the restaurant when it was dinner time.
Vera didn't expect that business would be so good on the first day. She didn't even have tto eat for the entire day. Both employees were also very busy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEven Mabie and David stayed to help.
Minerva was pregnant. As such, no one dared to ask her to do anything. She didn't cause any trouble herself. Although she wasn't working, it didn't mean that she wouldn't ask others to help instead. She gave Maddox a nudge as she stood beside him.
"The restaurant seems to be very busy. Why don't... Why don't you help serve the dishes?" Minerva said.
His mouth twitched as he was being nudged. "Serve the dishes?" It seemed that he couldn't believe what he heard even if it was Minerva who said it. However, to ask him to serve the dishes...
He gave her a serious and questioning look.
It was a pity that she couldn't understand it at all. As soon as their eyes met, she innocently blinked as she asked him to go.
The corners of his lips twitched. As soon as David saw this, he quickly smiled and said, "Haha Mrs. Yardley, you're making a huge joke. The fact that President Yardley and Mrs. President are here is already a great honor. If you were to serve the dishes..." He didn't even dare to think about it, let alone how President Yardley would possibly end up serving the dishes. He was the president of a big corporation! He hadn't done anything like this throughout his entire life! Minerva noticed that Maddox didn't move at all. Now that she heard what David had explained, she roughly understood the current situation. She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go myself." Soon after that, she was about to get up.
Maddox frowned and pulled her hand when she got up.
She had been pregnant for nearly four months and her tummy was obviously bigger now. It was just that the thick winter clothes and her slender figure made her pregnant tummy difficult to notice. However, this couldn't hide the fact that she was pregnant. Additionally, her pregnancy wasn't stable. As such, he was very worried about her.
Now that she was about to get up to help, he grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her back. Soon after that, he got up himself.
"Stay here," he said.
Minerva looked at him with dissatisfaction in her eyes.
He had no choice. He said softly, "I'll go." "What?" "I'm going to serve the food, okay?" He reluctantly said.
On the other hand, David's jaw dropped as soon as he heard him. His mouth was opened so wide that it could almost fit an entire egg. "Okay." Only then did Minerva nod her head in satisfaction. She said softly, "You've worked hard.
We'll go hafter helping out for a while." "Okay, just wait forhere," Maddox said.
He turned around and went ahead.
David hurriedly got up as soon as Maddox left. It seemed that he wanted him to stay. However, he was stopped by Minerva.
"Mr. Zais, just let him go. The shop is so busy. It's just a piece of cake for him to help out," she said.
David looked very anxious. "President, how can he do this kind of thing? No, Mrs. Yardley, let's..." "Mr. Zais!" She stopped him and said, "Vera and I are friends. It's normal for us to help. Besides, we're not in the company, so don't be so courteous. Otherwise... I'll feel very embarrassed." Since she had already spoken her thoughts, he couldn't say anything else. He could only nod his head in agreement.
Maddox entered the kitchen where Sam was helping to wash the dishes. When he saw him coming in, he was a little surprised. "Young Master Yardley? Why did you cin? Did something happen outside?" Sam asked. en.sVera raised her head to look at him when she heard the voice.
Maddox was frowning and his thin lips were pressed tightly together. It appeared as though he was struggling over something. It was only a moment later that he finally spat out a faint sentence. en.s"Is there anything that I can help with?" He asked.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed slightly.
Vera was the first to react. She shook her head and said, "There's no need. We're almost done here. Young Master Yardley, you can go out to accompany Minerva." However, he stood still. He knew that the restaurant was very busy. If he went out now, Minerva might cin to help.
Upon seeing that he didn't move, Vera felt awkward and didn't know what to say. Sam took a glance at her and continued to wash the dishes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn reality, it was his first twashing the dishes. He stayed by Young Master Yardley's side for a long tand seemed omnipotent. However, he wasn't really good when it cto kitchen work.
However, he could quickly pick things up. Even if he couldn't do it to the very best, it was still acceptable.
If he couldn't clean the bowl the first time, he would do it a few more times.
At the very least, he would still be able to help others' work. Other people would then be able to do something else.
Sam really couldn't think of what Young Master Yardley could do to help.
On the contrary, he felt that because Yardley's of Young Masterram perhaps other people able to continue to work as usual if he continued to stand there. For example, both girls cto help.
They had been staring at Maddox ever since he entered. Their cheeks even flushed due to their shyness.
Sam was speechless.
Nobody dared to ask Maddox to work. However, Mabie was different. She had witnessed the interaction between the young couple. She knew that he must have chere because of Minerva. That was why she directly called out to him without trying to be courteous. "Maddox, since you want to help, please followto bring this bowl of pasta to table three," she said.
Table three? He took a glance and nodded as he picked up the food tray. He then turned around without any expression on his face.
"Mom, how can you..." Vera said.
"Oh, don't worry. Now that he cin, it's your fault if you really don't let him help Why do you think he cin?" Mabie asked. Upon listening to this, Vera thought about it and roughly understood. Maddox entered without Minerva. He must've been called in by her. "Since he wants to help, you can stay rest assured," Mabie said.
Vera bit her lower lip as the corner of her mouth twitched. "How can I be at ease..." X
