Chapter 277
Daniel smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. After all, I'm still young, right?"
Alice was touched and said, "You are such a good boy."
Although Daniel was thoughtless about dealing with the matter between Amelia and Brittany, it was her daughter that disappointed her.
If it wasn't for the fact that Brittany seduced him to bed while Daniel was drunk and threatened him to commit suicide afterwards, there would be a lot of things that could be avoided.
In the meanwhile, at Century Hotel.
When the family came out of the Land of Fragrance, it was during a thunderstorm. When the car arrived at the hotel, the rain had stopped.
Amelia put the umbrella back in the car, which she brought back from Hawoi City.
Surprisingly, they were the first to arrive. From the corner of her eyes, Amelia saw Granny Hopper's unhappy face. She guessed it was because of Eve and others being late.
Even naive Florence felt that something was wrong, "What are they doing? It's already late!"
Amelia secretly tugged Patrick's clothes and whispered, "Aren't you going to call and urge them?"
Patrick looked at her helplessly and said, "I have already done that. Mom said that they would be here soon. She said let us enter the private room first."
Putting her hands in front of her, Granny Hopper said with a poker face, "What a lesson."
Patrick hastened to comfort Granny Hopper, "Grandma, it's not what you thought!"
Granny Hopper glanced at Patrick, as if her anger just now was just an illusion. "It is a good day. I don't want to haggle with her."
Listening to their conversation, Amelia was full of emotions. Granny Hopper despised Eve just as the way she looked down on Amelia. What a fate!
They went to the luxury box with the waiter's guidance, while the dispute ahead of them made them stop.
A young man, holding a beauty around her slender waist, shouted to the manager, "I said I will pay more to use this box. Why are you so stubborn?"
The manager said with sweat dripping down his face, "Sir, this room was reserved by a big shot in Northville. No matter how much money you pay, we wouldn't dare to give it to you easily."
The young man guffawed, rubbed the beautiful woman's butt, and asked, "Baby, tell me, who can be called a big shot in front of me?"
"You are so annoying!" The woman patted the man's arm and said flirtatiously, "No one can compare with you in my heart."
Hearing this, the young man was pleased. He leaned forward to kiss her and yelled at the manager, "If the big shot comes, bring him to me, and let me talk to him personally. How about this?"
"No need. I'm here." Patrick, who was standing not far behind him, opened his mouth.
The manager turned around. When he saw it was Patrick, he immediately greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Hopper! You're finally here!"
"Mr. Hopper..." The young man's Adam's apple bobbed. There was a flicker of fear in his eyes.
Patrick recognized the young man. He smiled and said, "I'm wondering who this man is. It turns out to be Secretary Grant. How's the chief recently?"
Secretary Grant rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "The chief is alright but busy with his work. He had told me that since you're back, he didn't have a chance to meet you once."
Hearing that, Patrick replied, "We'll meet. Oh, by the way, what are you going to talk with me personally?"
Secretary Grant hurried to wave his hands, "There is nothing!"
Patrick smiled calmly and said, "Well, that's good."
Feeling the cold behind Patrick's words, Secretary Grant lost his temper and turned to the manager, "What's wrong with you? Are you intending to humiliate me? You knew that Mr. Hopper had booked this room and you brought me here?"
The hotel manager groveled, "Sorry Secretary Grant. It's my fault. Let me arrange another room for you. Please follow me."
After shifting the blame onto the manager, Secretary Grant snorted, "That's Secretary Chu, who had pushed the blame to someone else, snorted, "That's reasonable."
Patrick was familiar with this kind of arrogant people, but Florence reproached, "The Grant guy, it was you who wanted to take our room and you are now trying to blame it on the manager? Shame on you."
Florence was famous for her pampered hospitality. Secretary Grant didn't dare to confute but said lightly, "Mr. Hopper, I'll leave you to dinner. See you!"
Patrick nodded, with a disapproval look.
While turning to the end of the corridor, the lady next to Secretary Grant asked in a soft voice, "Dear, who is he?"
With a lingering fear in his heart, Secretary Grant said, "A person we can't afford to offend."
The woman seemed to think of something and said excitedly, "Hey, did you see the woman next to him? She is the well-known Amelia in the entertainment circle recently!" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
A hint of interest flashed through Secretary Grant's eyes, "Yes, I did!"
It was hard to ignore such a beauty, right?
Not aware of his strange look, the woman said with a hint of jealousy, "Lucky for her. I am a professional model but why can't I get such an opportunity?"
There was a sinister smile on the corner of Secretary Grant's mouth. He thought that Amelia could be the endorser was because she had entertained the big boss.
After Secretary Grant left, Florence pouted at Patrick with displeasure, "Brother, how can you let him go like this?"
"What else can I do?" Patrick raised his deep eyes and looked at Florence. "Have a fight with him?"
Florence couldn't believe what she had just heard.
Patrick took the opportunity to give her a lesson, "It's good to have a sense of justice, but in many cases, it's better to avoid trouble."
Seeing that Florence was still angry, Amelia smiled and said, "I think Patrick is right. In fact, Secretary Grant's attitudes meant that he already had a lesson."
Florence smiled childishly, "That I'd love to hear."
Patrick's eyes fell on Amelia. The way she explained it to Florence was really nice. No wonder Florence would like her so much.
Half an hour later, Howard and the others arrived late. Seeing Granny Hopper's gloomy face, Eve anxiously twisted Howard's arm and asked him to explain by himself!
Howard poked out his face and said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I've been delayed halfway, and that's why I've made you wait for a long time."
