Chapter 40 Who Are You Looking For?
The room suddenly fell silent for a few seconds, and the atmosphere was terribly heavy.
Adele reacted and quickly grabbed the towel next to her to help wipe the stains on Marcus’ body. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to!”
“What are you doing?” Mr. Spears was furious. “Why are you so clumsy! Are you blind?”
“Alright, Mr. Spears. It’s nothing serious.” Marcus raised his hand and said softly.
Adele took a deep breath, looked at Marcus, and said, “Mr. McClain, come with me to the side. I’ll help you clean up. This is indeed my fault. If I don’t handle it well, I’m afraid I will also be punished by the manager. Please give me a chance.”
When Marcus heard this, he looked up at her, paused for half a second, and nodded. “OK.”
As he spoke, he stood up and smiled at the others in the room. “You guys keep drinking. I’ll be back soon.”
After he finished speaking, he walked towards the door. Adele hurriedly followed and closed the door.
As soon as she left the room, Marcus turned around and stared at her with a serious expression. “You are not a waitress here. Why are you trying to see me?” he asked coldly.
Adele was stunned. She did not expect Marcus to find out!
She took a deep breath and still had a trace of curiosity. “Why do you say that?” she asked.
“Melody Club’s waiters have been professionally trained, and you are obviously not,” Marcus said in a deep voice.
When Adele heard this, she gasped. She did not expect Marcus to be more astute than she had imagined. If this was the case, he probably would not agree to take the order. However, she still had a bargaining chip.
Biting her lip, she summoned up her courage and looked up at Marcus. “Mr. McClain, you are very smart. I am indeed not a waitress here. I am Yusuf Group’s assistant in the Administrative Department. I came specially to discuss a deal with you.”
“What deal?”
“I went to your company and talked to the manager about the order for this month’s holiday gift boxes. Because he thought that the price was not good, he did not accept it. I came over to try to gain the possibility of our cooperation.”
“I’ve seen the proposal your company gave me. The price is too low. Besides, we don’t lack orders now. There is no need to lower ourselves and do business with no benefits,” Marcus said with a straight face.
“I know, so I want to fight for it again. Moreover, I have a valuable message for you this time.”
“What is it?”
“It has something to do with Mr. Spears in the room just now. Are you cooperating with him recently?”
“How do you know?” Marcus frowned slightly.
Adele took a deep breath and told Marcus what she had heard at the corner. Sure enough, his face became more and more gloomy.
Obviously, this matter was also unexpected to him.
Adele pretended to be calm and asked, “Mr. McClain, the value of this news should be much more than the profit you will give up, right?”
“Why should I believe you?” Marcus’ eyes darkened.
“It doesn’t matter whether you believe me or not. In short, I have a clear conscience. As for whether you are willing to accept this order or not, it doesn’t matter. After all, if you cooperate with Yusuf Group for a long time, you definitely won’t suffer a loss. Isn’t that right?”
Hearing this, Marcus’ expression changed slightly. After a few seconds of silence, he said slowly, “Mr. Spears has a problem with me. I knew it before, but I didn’t expect him to set a trap for me this time. I believe your words. In order to thank you for your reminder, I agree to accept your order. However, if you want to continue to cooperate next time, we really can’t accept the same price.”
When Adele heard this, she was pleasantly surprised. She took a deep breath and said, “Mr. McClain! Thank you!”.
“However, if you want to see me again next time, don’t use such a clumsy method.”.
As he spoke, he took out a business card and handed it over.
Adele reached out to take it and said excitedly, “Okay! Mr. McClain!”.
“In a few days, I will get my assistant to contact you. Go back.”
Adele nodded repeatedly and watched Mr. McClain turn back to the private room. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, she actually succeeded!
If she had not inadvertently heard that someone wanted to set a trap for Marcus, she would not have had the chance to negotiate with him here today. However, no matter what, her efforts were not in vain!
Adele carefully put away the business card and walked to the staff room. She quickly changed her clothes and prepared to leave.
She took the elevator to the first floor. Just as she stepped out of the elevator, she was stopped by someone. “You! Stop!”
Hearing this familiar voice, Adele suddenly became nervous. When she turned her head, she saw the manager who had just told her to send the wine, staring at her with a gloomy face.
The two of them looked at each other and were shocked. Adele quickly reacted and ran in the direction of the door. The manager immediately followed.
“Don’t run! Who the hell are you! Stop!”
The manager was confused. What was going on? He asked her to deliver the wine, but the customers didn’t receive it even after a long time. In the blink of an eye, she changed her clothes and was about to leave the club!
Adele listened to the footsteps behind her. Not only did she not stop, she even sped up.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
If she was really caught today, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Just as she ran to the door, the security guards at the door suddenly rushed up and blocked her way!
What to do!
Adele was flustered. She turned around and saw the manager gasping for breath as he walked toward her. “Quite a runner, huh? Why aren’t you running anymore!”
There was a manager in front and a security guard behind her. She was pincered from the front and back and had no idea what to do.
The manager was so angry that his face turned red. He blocked the way in front of her and asked sternly, “Tell me, who are you? What do you want to do by sneaking into the club?”
“I… I am here to find someone…” Adele lied nervously.
The manager’s face was gloomy. “Who were you looking for? Did you need to change into the clothes of a waitress? What is your purpose? Are you here to steal things? And the wine I asked you to send, where did you send it? ”
A series of questions made Adele unable to answer for a moment. She took a deep breath and whispered, “I really… came to find someone. I had to do that…”
“Tell me, who were you looking for?”
Adele clasped her hands together and refused to say anything.
If she said Marcus’ name, she might also implicate him. At that time, all her efforts might be in vain!
“Not telling? Then I have to call the police!”
The manager snorted coldly and took out his mobile phone to dial the number.
Adele trembled all over. Seeing that he was about to call the police, she was even more panicked. “I… I’ll tell you!”
At this time, she only thought of one person, Damon.
If she reported Damon’s name, would the manager let her go?
“Who?”
“I, I came to find Damon Yusuf.” Adele took a deep breath.
The manager sneered, “Who? Damon? How dare you lie? You are really bold, liar! You are full of shit, I have to call the police today!”
As he spoke, he picked up his phone and was about to call the police.
Suddenly, a cold male voice came from the side, “She is here to see me!”
