Chapter 203 - Reserved

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“A meal? Someone has reserved the entire hotel today. Please go somewhere else for your meal.” The manager didn’t mince his words with Nathan Yeats. He didn’t humble himself down just because the latter was a VIP at the hotel.

After all, managers of the hotel had shares here too.

Chloe Yeats’s hotel made bucket-loads of money every year. Of course, his shares meant that he had a share of the pie too.

At the very least, he didn’t have to fear Nathan Yeats.

“Huh? That can’t be. I saw that there were still seats available yesterday.”

. 

Just then, the James family was starting to get impatient. “Nathan, when can we go in to have our meal?”

Of course, Nathan Yeats was in a tight spot. He was at a loss.

He had already made a promise to the James family, yet the manager was now telling him that someone had reserved the entire hotel for the day. “Mr. Hadley, do you think you can let us in? We’ll sit in the most secluded room. We’ll be sure not to disturb that guest.”

The manager glared at him. “What do you mean by that, Nathan Yeats? What kind of place do you think this is? This is Chloe Yeats’s territory. Do you think our boss is such a dishonorable person?”

Nathan Yeats was on the brink of tears. “No, no. That’s not what I meant. I’ll leave right away. Mr. Hadley, please take it as though you never heard what I said. Please don’t tell Ms. Yeats about it.”

With that, he shook his head helplessly at the family. “Let’s go somewhere else.”

Karen James raged, “What do you mean? You brought us here, but we can’t even go in now! Are you trying to play with us? Henry James, don’t you always brag about how impressive your son-in-law is? Why don’t you show us?”

Henry James was helpless too. ‘It would be humiliating if we can’t get the others in today.’

“Nathan Yeats, I command you to get us in today.”

Karine James only added fuel to the flames. “That’s right. Why can’t we eat here? We’re VIPs here, and you’re just a manager. What right do you have to stop me? I’ll get your boss to fire you right away!”

It had taken Nathan Yeats a long time to settle the manager, yet his girlfriend had negated all that with just a few sentences.

“Oh, you’re good. Nathan Yeats, you want to lodge a complaint? You’re welcome to do so. Why don’t I help you make a call and see if Ms. Yeats will fire me?”

Nathan Yeats had to resist the urge to slap his girlfriend. ‘How could anyone be so brainless? I have never seen anyone apart from her! Does she think she can afford to offend anyone in the world? Has she already forgotten about how fiercely Chloe Yeats had glared at her just days earlier?’

“Forget it; let’s go. I’m sure we’ll find somewhere else with good food.” Nathan Yeats tried to convince the rest.

But this time, Lucy Williams butt in. “Nathan Yeats, you’ve really disappointed me this time. Why should we have to leave? Are you trying to make fun of us too? How can I let you become the family head in the future when you’ve just embarrassed our entire family? Call your boss. I refuse to believe that she’d just let this slide.”

Nathan Yeats couldn’t help but wonder if the entire family was crazy.

The manager couldn’t hide his smile. “The James family? So what? I’ve attended countless conferences with my boss. Los Angeles Business Conference, Los Angeles Forbes 100, Los Angeles Development Conference, Los Angeles Top Ten Conference… Why have I never seen your family? Come on. Why don’t you tell me who’s the most outstanding in your family? Let’s see if I’ll be impressed. The James family? You’re just a piece of trash! Do you really think so highly of yourselves?”

Now that they were trying to bring his boss into the picture, the manager was annoyed. He had no intention of letting them off.

With just a few words, he completely put the James family down, so much so that they no longer wanted to stay here any longer.

‘Who could we possibly mention?’ Nobody dared to say a thing. They didn’t have a name they could mention.

After all, they had never thought of Yvette Larson as part of their family.

Karine James was just a pampered and spoiled princess who had nothing to her name.

Weston Shaw was a gambling addict and was so poor that it was laughable.

As for the second generation, there was no need to even mention them. If they were the slightest bit reliable, the family wouldn’t have placed all their hopes on Nathan Yeats.

Just as the James family was about to make their escape, a Bentley rolled to a stop in front of the hotel.

The manager then brought dozens of well-built bodyguards with him as he walked up to the Bentley.

Everyone stood in line, and the manager personally opened the door.

The James family were already prepared to leave but couldn’t help but stare at such a magnificent sight. ‘Who is that? Why is the manager treating him so respectfully? Is he the one who reserved the entire hotel for the day?’

The family had mixed feelings toward that man.

On the one hand, they couldn’t help but feel annoyed that he had reserved the entire hotel, leading to them being chased away. On the other hand, he must be terribly wealthy to reserve the entire hotel!

The James family couldn’t help but have a preposterous idea. ‘If that man takes a liking to our daughter, we might very well be able to rise up!’ 

Seeing that it was a Bentley, Karine James thought of what Finn Taylor had said to her that day and couldn’t help but fume.

The car door opened.

The moment the people got out of the car, the entire James family was stunned. It was the family of four—Finn Taylor, Yvette Larson, Francis Larson, and Linda James.

‘W-what’s going on?’ The James family turned to each other.

The old lady walked up to the family and shouted, “Linda James, didn’t your family say that you weren’t coming? You guys don’t even care about me! I’m your mother! How could you not come back to celebrate my birthday?”

“And you, Yvette Larson! What did you say? What do you mean by saying your client is more important than my birthday celebrations? You even called us country bumpkins who weren’t worthy of being your relatives! Since that’s the case, why are you here? All I want to do is have a meal. What are you trying to do by reserving the entire place?”
