Chapter 182 Offering to Share a Table and an Undercurrent of Hostility
However, Adelaide had no interest in bubble reputation and always wore no makeup. Gradually,
another beauty, who had undergone cosmetic surgery, instead of Adelaide, was said to be the most
beautiful girl in the school.
Adelaide did not suffer any loss, but Hanna lost more than half of her male classmates who "bride" her
suddenly. Hanna tried tirelessly to persuade Adelaide to dress up and became the most beautiful girl in
school again, but Adelaide rejected. Right then, Adelaide met Antonio and fell in love with him at first
sight.
Hanna pushed these thoughts away and pulled out the chair beside her. Adelaide laughed too, pointing
her finger at Hanna's forehead and complaining, "Ha! Are you jealous? Do you regret that you didn't
dress yourself up?"
Hanna was becoming more and more like a "tomboy". She wore a T-shirt and blue pierced jeans,
having a totally different style from Adelaide. But neither of them minded it. They continued to joke and
laugh at each other.
The waiters and waitresses in the restaurant were so busy that they almost kept going here and there,
serving customers. They waited patiently for the waiters or waitresses to serve them.
"Madam, I'm sorry, but there are really no seats left!"
Suddenly, they heard the voice of a waiter, who spoke in a neither humble nor pushy way. Hanna
poked Adelaide with her elbow, indicating that something unusual was happening there.
"There is no seat left? I don't care. This is your problem!"
A woman with long blonde wavy hair pinned a strand of hair over her chest behind her ears, spread her
hands and spoke fluent English.
Although the man beside her didn't said something to put the waiter in a difficult position, his attitude
was obviously the same as that of the woman.
The sweat beads on the waiter's forehead came down his face like rain spots. It was absolutely a good
thing for the restaurant owner to attract so many guests by the cooking skill of the chef alone. Now,
they even couldn't serve many customers with seats in time. For customers who just entered the
restaurant, they could only tell them that there was no seat left!
Soon, a man in a suit came out. He seemed to be a manager or something. First, he smiled politely
and bowed to the guests. After looking up, he gently explained that there was no seat left and that they
couldn't serve them.
The woman refused to accept it and said a lot in fluent English. The manager kept smiling and
answered her in English, too.
Seeing that the woman was going to lose temper, the manager quickly put on a smile and went on to
say, "Madam, we could serve you if you find someone who are willing to share a table with you."
They had their own way of treating guests. Their service tenet was: to treat each and every customer
well, to not slight their customers, and to not let customers wait for seats.
The manager had no choice but to tell her this unrealistic approach. He knew that it was difficult for
these people to agree to share a table with others, so he could be said to put them on the spot
deliberately.
"We have two people here. You can share a table with us if you don't mind."
When the woman looked around with her big eyes and was about to leave with a feeling of frustration,
Adelaide got up and shouted to them.
The man beside her looked back and saw that it was Adelaide who said that. He felt surprised first and
then showed undisguised joy, "Adelaide, you're here, too!"
They were Aadam, who Adelaide had not seen for a long time, and Angel, his fiancee!
"It's ok. We have friends here. You can go for your business." Aadam smiled, waved his hand and said
to the manager.
After that, he took Angel's hand and went happily to the corner where Adelaide sat at a table.
"Let I introduce her to you, she is my..."
Before Aadam finished his words, Angel interrupted him, put on a standard smile and stretched out her
hand while looking Adelaide up and down with an alert expression, "I'm his fiancee. My name's Angel."
"Hello, I'm Adelaide!" Adelaide simply said her name. Hanna, who was beside her, got up and tell them
her name, too.
Angel unconsciously didn't want Aadam to have too much contact with Adelaide, maybe due to
women's s intuition. Before, Aadam was reluctant to come out. Just now when she argued with the
manager for a seat, Aadam was even indifferent and didn't help her, as if it had nothing to do with him.
When they heard Adelaide's voice, she saw that Aadam's eyes gleamed at once.
She had never seen him like this. When Aadam was with her, he always wore an unhappy expression
and didn't like to talk, seeming to be unapproachable.
She could drive away the women around Aadam by violent means, but Aadam had a different attitude
towards Adelaide. In front of Adelaide, she felt that she became ordinary. Her beauty, the only thing she
felt confident about, was not worth mentioning.
Angel was no longer domineering. She was also afraid that Aadam treated Adelaide differently
because he loved her!
The neon lights outside the window lit up, and Aadam sat politely at the chair opposite them.
Angel was like a young beast whose territory was invaded by a stranger. She stared warily at Adelaide
and was ready to fight at all times.
Being stared at, Adelaide felt a little uneasy. She touched her face and asked, "Miss Angel, do I have
something on my face?"
Angel shook her head, didn't say a word and continued staring at her.
The waiters and waitresses were still busy, as if they had forgotten the four customers sitting at the
table in a corner. They just sat there and stared at each other. Finally, Aadam felt that the atmosphere
was strange, so he raised his hand and snapped his fingers, "Excuse me!"
A waitress made time for serving them. She stretched out her hand and wiped sweat. Then, she came
to their table and put the menu on the table. After Adelaide and Aadam deferred to each other several
times, Aadam ordered first.
After ordering food, Aadam felt that it was a good chance to show himself, so he immediately said that
he would pay the bill.
However, Angel, who was sitting next to him, understood what he meant. She was unhappy because
Aadam was warmer to this woman than to her, so she said in a strange voice, "Aadam, you're not so Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
generous at ordinary times. Why do you take the initiative to pay the bill today?"
Aadam didn't want to talk too much with her, so he just said something perfunctory in reply.
This irritated Angel more, so she said angrily, "We can go Dutch. After all, we just share a table."
Aadam didn't her being so ungenerous, so he persuade her. Angel didn't listen to him. In addition, she
got angry just now. Therefore, she even quarreled with Aadam. When she got excited, she stood up in
anger. She spoke many words quickly, scolding Aadam while indicating that Adelaide offered to share a
table with them only because she didn't want to pay the bill. Aadam didn't have a chance to get a word
in.
