Chapter 359 - How Dare You Reject Me!"
Breakfast was the time that the UAL students looked forward to the most when they were at the hotel, but their fun was a bit ruined today because an important person was enjoying breakfast at the restaurant. As a result, the students could not linger in the restaurant.
"It sucks! I can only take so little food."
"Yeah, the time given to us to get food is only limited."
"Who's the important person? Would such an important person actually have breakfast at a 3-star hotel like this?"
"Damn, I'm not full at all."
"Yeah, I haven't picked up the fruit either."
"Ah, it sucks! We've moved here only to receive an uncomfortable treatment like this."
Anne and Linda, who were not used to eating much in the morning, just smiled when they heard their friends grumbling. After a night's rest, Anne's fever had disappeared. She was now healthy again and ready to work with Linda. That was why she joined breakfast with the others.
"I'm full," said Anne quietly, wiping her lips with the napkin when the cereal and milk in her bowl was out.
"Are you full just eating that little bowl of cereal, Anne?" asked Vincent who sat across from her quickly.
"Yes, this is more than enough for me," answered Anne honestly.
"Fruit? Dessert?"
Anne shook her head slowly. "I eat cereal and milk, it's a perfect combination. My stomach is already full and I can't have dessert or fruit."
"Yes, but still if I have only cereal and milk, I will still be hungry," said Vincent seriously.
"That's because your stomach is that big, Vincent. Look at your stomach, it's like a 40 year old man's, very unattractive to women. You are a fashion student but you can't keep your own body in shape. It's a shame." Gabriella, who was sitting not far from where Anne and Vincent, seemed to have been eavesdropping on Anne and Vincent's conversation.
Bang!
"Linda, don't be late," Vincent said spontaneously when Linda hit the table where they were currently sitting after hearing Gabriella's words.
"But he insulted you, Vincent," said Linda, full of emotion.
Vincent looked at Linda calmly. "I don't care. After all, my other friends like you two don't protest, right? So just ignore her instead of wasting your energy."
"Yeah but..."
"Linda, you heard what Vincent said didn't you?" Anne joined in.
"Yes, I heard him, it's just that she has physically insulted someone, Anne," said Linda, still annoyed.
"Don't mind her, Linda. You'd better eat this apple pie. We'll split it in two." Vincent calmed Linda down again as he halved the apple pie he had previously taken from the counter for dessert.
After accepting the apple pie from Vincent, Linda immediately ate it while continuing to stare at Gabriela, who was still talking about Vincent from her seat with three of her subordinates. While Anne chose to activate her cell phone after she turned it off all night. As soon as her cell phone was turned on, several messages immediately came in. Anne immediately checked the messages, her eyes were wide open when she read three messages sent by the same number.
"Is there any problem, Anne?" Linda asked curiously.
Anne who was surprised to read the message from Alan immediately realized.
"N-no, this is just a message from a few florist customers. They asked for my opinion on the best choice of flowers for a wedding," replied Anne, lying. She couldn't be honest about Alan asking her out for lunch.
"Oh customer, but why are they asking you? There's Paul at the store," said Linda again.
"Customers are king, Linda, don't forget about that. Maybe they are more comfortable when they directly consult other women, even though there is Paul in the shop on duty," said Vincent.
"Oh yes, you're right, Vincent. I really need a lot of patience to serve the shoppers at the shop. They like to change orders and schedules that have been set and sometimes it gives you a headache, because you have to think about the concept again and interrupt other orders, but still they don't care about it," said Linda quickly. She remembered about one of the shop's customers who got angry at her because she felt cheated about the discount given by the shop. The customer thought that the discount would be in full effect in one week, even though the discount was only valid for the weekend and the explanation was very clear on the flower shop's social media and on the notice board in front of the shop. At that time, Linda did not accept and was really angry at being yelled at by a young man who was much younger than her, until finally the customer was embarrassed for not reading the description clearly and apologized to Linda.
Vincent listened to Linda's story seriously. He really liked listening to Linda when she told stories. Meanwhile, Anne was replying the message that Alan had sent to her. She politely refused Alan's invitation. Anne preferred to go to work with Linda. After being absent for more than 4 days, she didn't want her final semester assignment to be ruined because she let Linda take photos alone.
Meanwhile, Alan, who was in the restaurant and only separated by glass with Anne, looked annoyed that Anne's invitation was rejected. As the ideal man for all women, Alan felt that his self-esteem has fallen, as all this time Alan was the one who always refused the invitation of the women who wanted to go with him. Nicholas, who was sitting beside Alan, managed to catch the change in his master's emotions. He slowly showed his cell phone which contained a message from his grandfather, who was currently on his way to the office with Louis and asked Alan to come back to the office immediately.
As soon as he read the message on the assistant's cell phone, Alan immediately put down his fork and hurried out of the room, leaving the managers still enjoying their meals. While walking away from the hotel, Alan's eyes caught the sight of Anne, who was sitting on a park bench with her friends. He pointed his cell phone at Anne to take her picture.
"I want the girl whose picture I just sent to you in my bed tonight," Alan said quietly to someone on the phone.
"Sir..."
"Shut up, Nick, this is my business. Don't interfere and don't tell Grandpa, I'm very upset right now." Alan immediately cut Nicholas' words quickly and emotionally without taking his eyes off Anne, who was straightening her long hair.
After watching her for a while, Jack then got into his car followed by Nicholas who immediately ran to the driver's seat.
"You will be mine tonight arrogant girl, just watch. I will make you unable to get out of my bed, you will regret to have disappoint Alan Knight," said Alan quietly while looking at Anne with a look full of emotion.
