Chapter 314 Be More Casual
These past few days, Chloe's fame has skyrocketed.
A lot of entertainment reporters are following her, all trying to dig up more gossip about Chloe.
Yesterday morning, outside the neighborhood where the Lewis Family lives, Larry was photographed giving flowers to Chloe, but Chloe said she wanted a divorce and refused to accept the flowers. This scene has already spread online.
Anyone who frequently uses their phone and checks social media knows about it.
Except for Larry.
Vanessa spoke about her friend in this way, and Sawyer's face turned quite somber, but he didn't dare to get angry. Instead, he whispered, "Vanessa, don't talk about my friend like that. Last time at Maple Grove Mansion, he helped me."
"You useless fool, how dare you say that?"
Vanessa immediately grabbed Sawyer's ear and scolded angrily, "It's a good thing I didn't go last time, or you would have embarrassed me completely. Look at the kind of people you know. Now get to work."
"Okay." Sawyer didn't dare say another word and quickly left.
"Larry, it seems your friend doesn't have much status at home," said Xerxes, who was sitting next to Larry, with a smile.
Larry glared at him. The smile on Xerxes' face instantly froze, and he closed his mouth, not saying another word.
"By the way," Larry looked at Xerxes and asked, "Am I being looked down upon because I didn't bring a gift?"
"Probably."
Xerxes nodded and said, "Look at the friends who came; they either brought cash gifts or presents. You're the only one who didn't bring anything and are sitting at the front of the store. Anyone would be displeased."
"Then what are you waiting for? Go prepare a gift for me. Don't you want me to save Esmeralda?"
Xerxes was slightly taken aback.
Then he reacted and said excitedly, "Okay, I'll prepare it right away. Larry, what kind of gift should I prepare? Something valuable or just something simple?"
"Something simple will do."
"Okay." Xerxes immediately took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Prepare a gift and send it to the restaurant in the old town. It doesn't need to be too expensive."
After making the call, Xerxes looked eagerly at Larry and said, "Larry, I've already instructed someone to prepare the gift. When will you go see Esmeralda?"
Larry waved his hand slightly and said, "I know her condition. She won't die for now. Just wait until I have time."
"Okay."
Xerxes was extremely excited.
"Larry, about Esmeralda's birthday party..."
Larry waved his hand, interrupting Xerxes, "I don't like too much excitement. I'll see if I have time tonight to go and give her a birthday wish privately."
"Okay." Xerxes was so excited he could hardly speak.
As time passed, more and more people arrived.
Most of them were Vanessa and Sawyer's classmates, as well as some of Vanessa's friends.
Vanessa had a wide social circle and interacted with all kinds of people, including some big bosses.
But the people Sawyer knew were quite ordinary.
Sawyer's family was relatively poor.
After graduating from high school, he started working at a restaurant.
He worked there for five years and learned how to run a restaurant. Later, he stopped working at the restaurant and went to work on a construction site.
The people he knew were all from the construction site.
But these people gave Sawyer a lot of face.
When they heard that Sawyer had opened a restaurant, they came specifically to support him.
Around 10 a.m.
More than thirty dusty workers appeared at the entrance of the hot pot restaurant.
"Thank you all for coming to support."
"Mr. Fisher, please come inside."
Sawyer saw the foreman leading more than thirty workers and immediately went to greet them.
"Sawyer, what are you doing?"
Vanessa, who was at the door greeting other guests, frowned and said, "Don't bring just anyone into the restaurant. All the tables are booked, and the people inside are some big shots. Why are you bringing these losers in? Do you want to ruin the big shots' appetites?"
Hearing this, the workers instantly became unhappy.
"Damn it, what did you say? We came to support you, and you call us losers? Do you think your restaurant is so high-end? It's nothing special."
"If we're not welcome, then we won't eat here."
"Sawyer, it's not that I don't want to give you face, but Vanessa's words are too much."
The workers were furious.
Sawyer kept apologizing, "I'm sorry, Mr. Fisher. I'm sorry, everyone. I'm really sorry. I apologize on behalf of Vanessa."
"Sawyer, you useless fool, still apologizing? Our restaurant may not be high-end, but it's not a place for losers. Get them out of here before they disgust the other guests."
At this moment, a man in a suit and tie walked over. Vanessa immediately changed her expression, her heavily made-up face breaking into a bright smile.
"Mr. Williams, you're here too. Please come in."
She greeted him warmly.
Sawyer's face, however, looked very grim.
He looked at his former coworkers, wanting to explain.
But they ignored him and turned to leave.
Sawyer sighed helplessly.
Larry had been there the whole time.
Seeing this scene, he shook his head slightly.
He looked at the time; it was almost lunchtime.
"Sawyer."
He called out to Sawyer, who was about to enter the restaurant.
Sawyer turned to look at Larry, his face full of bitterness, and said, "Larry, I'm sorry you had to see that."
Larry waved his hand slightly and said, "It's nothing, really. I reserved a table yesterday, and it's almost time for lunch. I'm ready to eat."
"Larry, I saved a table for you on the second floor."
"No private room." Vanessa, who was leading people into the restaurant, came out and glanced at Larry with disdain.
"This useless son-in-law wants to eat in a private room in my restaurant? No way. Sawyer, I reserved the private room for another big boss. Tell Larry to leave. If he insists on eating at our restaurant, he can wait until two or three in the afternoon when there are fewer people and eat in the main hall."
"Vanessa, that's not appropriate. Larry reserved a table yesterday."
"My restaurant, my rules."
Sawyer dared not speak up. He looked at Larry, full of an apology.
Larry patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, don't worry about it. I'll just wait a bit longer."
However, at that moment, a luxury car drove up.
It was Yorick, the butler of the Vale Family.
As soon as Yorick got out of the car, he saw Larry and Xerxes standing at the door.
Xerxes also smiled and said, "Larry, the gift you asked me to prepare has arrived. Should we send it in now or later?"
"Of course, now. When else?" Larry rolled his eyes.
Yorick walked over, smiled at Larry and Xerxes, and then took out a list, reading it out loud.
"Congratulations to Sawyer and Vanessa on the grand opening of their restaurant."
Immediately, some people came carrying boxes.
Sawyer and Vanessa were shocked when they heard the list of gifts.
Larry glanced at Xerxes. "This is what you call simple?"
Xerxes looked puzzled and asked, "What, not enough? Sorry, Larry, I'll arrange for more."
"It's enough," Larry spoke up in time.
No wonder he's rich. Even a simple gift was so valuable.
