"Answer my question, why are you dressed like that?" Billy gave her a light punch on her head.
"Hey, be gentle! That hurts!" Felicia pouted, rubbing her head. "I'm interning at the company, so of course, I have to wear the uniform!"
"Interning already?" Billy finally caught up.
"Yeah, it's quite common. Many of my classmates started interning in the second semester of their junior year." Felicia explained.
Billy nodded, understanding the situation.
"By the way, Stout, are you the chubby uncle that Tasha mentioned? You're really plump, you should consider losing weight!" Felicia shifted her attention to Stout.
Stout choked a little, realizing his reputation had reached Enssea.
"Just joking with you!" Felicia stuck her tongue out playfully. Then, she extended her hand towards him. "Nice to meet you, I'm Felicia Knight."
"I'm Stout, you can consider me as an elder brother." Stout shook her hand with a grin.
"I won't! You're not even older than me, right?" Felicia chimed in, pouting. "I'll call you Stout, that sounds friendly." This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
"Well..." Stout's lips twitched, realizing maybe he should start considering weight loss seriously.
"Billy, this place is known for serving the best local dishes in Enssea. Since you're visiting, I thought I'd bring you here to try them." Felicia explained once they entered the restaurant.
"There are only three of us, so should we sit in the main dining area?"
"Sounds good!" Billy smiled faintly.
Soon, they were led to a table near the window.
"Billy, where's Casey? Why didn't he come with you?" Felicia asked after they placed their orders.
"Why, are you missing Chim?" Billy teased.
"Huh?" Stout, who was sitting nearby, chimed in, intrigued. "Felicia, you've got good taste! Casey is an absolute high-performer stock!"
"Don't butt in, Big Fatty!" Felicia rolled her eyes at him.
Then, she looked back at Billy. "Casey, my so-called boyfriend, is not doing a great job. It's been so long, and he hasn't even called. I was planning on talking to him seriously today!"
"Hehe, your boyfriend Casey got a promotion, so he's been really busy lately. When he's done with his work, I'll have him take you out for a meal." Billy reassured her with a smile.
"Promoted?" Felicia blinked. "No wonder. Well, I'll have to mooch off him for a good meal once he's available!"
"He should be in Enssea in a few days!" Billy sipped his tea, looking thoughtful.
"Really? That's great!" Felicia's face lit up with joy.
"By the way, where are you interning?" Billy asked, changing the topic.
"At a local conglomerate in Enssea. It's a pretty large company!" Felicia said with pride. "They came to our school recently for a recruitment event."
Just then, footsteps echoed at the entrance of the restaurant. A young man entered, leading a group of people towards the elevator. In his thirties, dressed in designer clothes, the man exuded an air of arrogance, as if he was above everyone else.
"Mr Clark!" The servers in the hall greeted him as he walked by.
Reed Clark nodded slightly in reply. His eyes wandered around the hall before fixing on Felicia by the window. He changed his course and walked towards their table.
"Miss, it's a pleasure to meet you!" As he came closer, his gaze wandered over Felicia's figure for a moment, a touch of astonishment passing through his eyes once again.
Though Felicia had nothing to do with sensuality, her exquisitely delicate features, flawless skin that seemed as delicate as porcelain, and the youthful aura she exuded were highly appealing to most men.
"Allow me to introduce myself first. I am Reed Clark, the general manager of this restaurant. Here's my business card!" While speaking, he produced a business card and handed it to Felicia. "Would you be honored to join me for a drink in a private room?"
Throughout the interaction, he didn't even glance at Billy and Stout.
"I'm sorry, I don't know you, and I don't drink. Please don't disturb us while we're having our meal." Felicia wouldn't accept his business card.
"Familiarity comes with time. It doesn't matter if you don't know me. Let's become acquainted over a meal." Reed Clark insisted with a smile. Then, he snapped his fingers at a server and said, "Notify the kitchen. Prepare a lavish feast. I'm dining with this young lady tonight."
"I'll say it again, I don't know you. Kindly leave us alone, we're here to eat." Felicia spoke firmly.
"Without my consent, they wouldn't dare to serve your food, you know." Reed Clark chuckled again.
"Let me give you some advice, leave now, or you'll regret it." Felicia said, her eyes narrowing.
"Is that so? I rarely regret anything. What are you referring to?" Reed's eyebrow arched.
"If you don't leave, my brother-in-law will get angry. When he's mad, this restaurant won't be standing anymore." Felicia warned.
In Felicia's eyes, both Billy and Casey were almost godlike figures. They were formidable and beyond ordinary men, which she had learned during her encounter with Doug Wood and his associates. Considering that Wood's family was one of the four major families in Enssea, her admiration for Billy only grew. Billy could easily intimidate the likes of those from the major families; needless to say, a restaurant manager was nothing to her.
"Brother-in-law?" Reed Clark finally turned his attention to Billy. "He's your brother-in-law? The one she's boasting about? Who exactly is he?"
"Get lost!" Stout couldn't help but interject.
Reed frowned. "What did you say? Say it again!"
"If you don't leave now, you'll be crawling out!" Stout's tone turned cold.
"You brat, do you know who Mr Clark is? I bet you're asking for trouble!" A man behind Reed Clark pointed at Stout and threatened.
The next moment, Stout caught the man's outstretched hand and twisted it forcefully, dislocating the finger in an instant.
"Ahh!" The man cried out in pain.
"You're looking for trouble!" Another man, a Warrior-level martial artist, stepped forward and threw a punch at Stout.
Crack!
Stout remained seated but exuded a burst of imposing energy. The man's arm was shattered in an instant.
"Hmm..." The man grunted, his face contorted in shock.
"No wonder you had the guts to tell me to leave. You're quite skilled." Reed Clark's gaze narrowed. Then, he turned to an old man behind him. "Disable his arm and throw him out."
"Got it!" The old man nodded and walked forward, looking at Stout. "You do it yourself, otherwise, you'll regret it!"
Swoosh!
Stout had no interest in wasting words. He thrust his palm forward.
