Chapter 8 Being Blacklisted

Chapter 8 Being Blacklisted

William's task for today was to help Alexander reserve the entire venue in his own name.

When the task was completed, he naturally should not stay here and play gooseberry.

Pretending to answer a phone call, William made a lame excuse, "Sir, Ms. Scott, I've got something urgent to do suddenly. I have to leave now. Please enjoy."

"Fine." Alexander answered nonchalantly, putting on a look as if he was implying that this was the very right time for William to just retreat.

Florence felt very embarrassed. They just took advantage of William's influence to slap Thomas and Colleen's faces. Now they were even enjoying a free meal.

"Mr. James.Thanks for what you have done for us just now. If it weren't for your influence and help, we would have made a fool of ourselves just now."

"I will concern what boss concerns. What I have done today is just a piece of cake to me. For people like those two guys, they truly have lost their rights to enter Yard Kitchen forever. How gross they are." William glanced at Alexander sneakily. The boss behind this Yard Kitchen was nobody but Alexander. Those two offended Alexander and Florence, weren't they digging for their own graves?

"Ms. Scott, Sir, I really have to leave. They kept pushing me. Wish you enjoy your meal."

Before Florence could say anything else, William hurriedly trotted away.

"Alexander, this friend of yours, what does he do for a living?"

William was carrying a tone, which indicated that he was never even taking Thomas or Colleen seriously, nor was he scared of offending the Hudson family. So Florence supposed that William definitely had a tough background.

Croycor was lurking with multitudes of noble and influential big names for real. Though Florence bragged herself as the respectable miss of the Scott family, she was simply carrying an empty title as she never stepped into the circle of affluence. Even with the name of the Scott family, she was unable to enter a circle of a higher level.

Not to mention her chances of getting to know any figures who could have the ability to book the entire Yard Kitchen.

"Working for film and television stuff." Alexander said indifferently, "James Film and Television Group's young master."

"Ah?" Florence was totally shocked, "How do you know the young master of the James Film and Television Group?" Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

James Film and Television Group was the hegemony of the film and television industry. Who dared to show any disrespect to them in that industry?

Florence did not expect that Alexander could know the young master of the James Film and Television Group.

"I have saved him once before." Alexander began to make up nonsense again with a serious expression on his face, "He has owed me a favor of me saving him."

"No wonder. I could tell that he really obeys your order. So he is truly a grateful man who knows to pay back a favor." Florence did not suspect anymore and believed in Alexander's words. After all,

Alexander did not look like a rich man at all, and it was quite reasonable if Alexander explained this situation with an excuse of saving one's life.

Otherwise, what made the young master of James Film and Television Group so respectful to Alexander?

Once Florence thought of those insulting words said by Thomas, she apologized and said, "Don't take those harsh words to your heart."

"It's alright." Alexander never took those two people seriously, so how would he put those words in his heart, "It's just two dogs barking."

Florence felt that she still needed to explain more, "Those two just now were ..."

"Florrie, someone is only a past issue, and it's not worthy of being mentioned here." Alexander held her hand, "As your boyfriend, I'm not so easy to be provoked either."

At first, Alexander was only interested in Florence. But just now, when looking at how much she was defending him, he could feel a kind of unspeakable warmth flowing in his heart.

No need for Florence to explain. For the past between these two people, he clearly knew it.

About the past of Florence, Alexander also have ordered his people to make a quite thorough investigation.

Florence suddenly felt that there was something warm in her eyes. At the very beginning, she was just thinking about giving it a shot of dating Alexander, and she never had a long-term plan for their relationship.

But based on those words just now, anyone could tell that she did have a history with Thomas, as long as one was not stupid.

If it were any other man, he would have questioned her or stormed off already, right?

But he did not ask.

Florence smiled and said, "Yes, his is a past issue, not worth mentioning. I'm hungry. Let's start to eat."

The smile on Alexander’s face became brighter, "Yeah."

After the meal, as they were on their way back, Alexander drove with one hand, holding Florence's hand with the other. Their hands clasped tightly together.

The intimate contact made Florence blush. She was not used to it and tried to pull back her hand, but he held it tightly.

So Florence did not try to shake off his grip either. She just shyly turned her head away, not looking at Alexander.

The car window reflected Florence's shy look, and she bit her lip. Alexander chuckled by her ear, "My Florrie is such a shy girl."

"Who is yours?"

Florence snorted, and her cheeks were burning, while her heartbeat also inexplicably accelerated. Alexander had captured every subtle change on her, and the smile on the corner of his lips became brighter.

Florence's face became redder, and her palm was slightly sweating. She was shy and excited, and her heartbeats became faster. However, she felt so warm, and this was a feeling that she had never experienced when she was with Thomas.

Was this a crush?

Florence lowered her head and said, "Drive carefully."

"Okay!" Alexander followed Florence's words obediently.

Though he said that, he did not loosen his grip.

At this time, Alexander's cell phone rang, he frowned and did not answer it.

"Why don't you answer the phone?" Florence was curious, "Pick it up, in case it's something urgent."

The phone kept ringing. Alexander then looked at the caller's ID but he frowned more severely.

Florence did not deliberately listen to Alexander's phone, so she had no idea about what the person on the other end of the phone said to him. But she just saw Alexander's face suddenly become very gloomy.

When the call ended, Florence wondered, "What's wrong?"

"Florrie, I have something that needs to be taken care of."

"It's okay, just take care of your issues first." Florence felt a little down, but she was still very understanding. From Alexander's expression, she could tell that something must be wrong.

"Okay." Alexander first sent Florence back to the entrance of the community where Florence lived, looking very sorry about this situation, "Florrie, I will come to look for you later."

"I'm fine, just go ahead and deal with your issues!"

Florence stood at the side of the road and watched Alexander leave. When the car disappeared into the night, and as she was about to turn around and enter the community, she suddenly received a call from Audrey.

"Florence, come and help me. Florence." Audrey sounded both anxious and a little bit drunk on the phone.

Florence's heart tightened, "Audrey, what's wrong? Where are you now? I'll be right over."

Florence immediately took a taxi to the club Audrey mentioned.

In the booth, Florence found Audrey, who was totally drunk. Florence rushed over, "Audrey, why did you drink so much? Let me send you back home."

"Florence, you're here." Audrey was so drunk that she couldn't even stand up herself.

Florence helped Audrey stand still, but before she could leave, a man blocked in their way. He squinted at Florence with lust and said, "Beauty, where are you going? Let me send you back."

Florence furrowed her eyebrows, and she coldly said, "Get out of the way!"

"Yo! Hot temper. I like it." The man became even more excited and reached out to pull Florence, "Beauty, come with me tonight. Let me entertain you."

The man said and burped, emitting some potent and foul smell of alcohol.

The strong alcohol scent sprayed on Florence's face, making her feel disgusted, and she couldn't help but frown. She was also infuriated, and her voice became much colder, "Let go."

"What if I don't" The man smiled smugly, "What can you do with me? Cold beauty, I like this type. Just come, let me love you. No one dares to fight against me for you tonight."

A group of people in the booth echoed loudly, "Mr. Cooper, if you could take this beauty, I would give you that car at the door."

"Deal. Beauty and the car, I will get both."

Once the man just finished his words, a loud bang resonated in the booth.

Florence kicked the man, and he rolled under the table. Then the empty bottles on the table all broke to the ground.

The entire booth was silent, and everyone froze.

This girl was such a badass.

"Audrey, let's go." Florence carried Audrey up.

By the time those people came to their senses, Florence had already left.

Someone in the booth screamed, "Call an ambulance, Mr. Cooper is bleeding."

Florence was very cautious. Since she was worried that someone might catch up with her, she took Audrey to the back door of the club and left.

But she didn't expect that before she could go further, she found a bunch of people was fighting in the front.

Florence didn't want to cause trouble. But before she could leave quietly, that drunk Audrey suddenly yelled out loudly, "Drink, let's drink more."

Her yell immediately startled that group of people.

Florence's heart thumped, and that group of people immediately came over and surrounded her.

"Boss, it's two women, what should we do?"
