Chapter 71 - 71

Since moving into Solaire Towers, Ian hadn't had the chance to use any of the facilities. 

The only time had been when he and Camilla met with Leon earlier that morning for their self defence classes. 

When the elevator doors opened, the attention of everyone within the vicinity quickly turned to them. 

Ian and his group were suddenly frozen in their tracks as John laughed.

"I forgot to warn you, this happens all the time." He said as he walked out of the elevator ahead of them.

Ian and Camilla gave each other a concerned look before finally stepping out and following John into the restaurant.

As they walked out of the elevator to whispers and stares, Ian spotted how uncomfortable his sisters were as they walked ahead of him and Camilla.

"Relax, they won't dare say anything wrong." Camilla whispered to Sam and Karina.

"How do you know?" Karina asked as she glanced back at Camilla.

"Because of the elevator we just stepped out of. They are just wondering who we are." Camilla said with a gentle smile.

"Why?" Sam asked Camilla and her brother as John pointed at a table where they could sit.

"Let's sit first, your brother should explain things to you." Camilla told them as she grabbed each by the wrist and quickly sprinted towards the table.

Ian couldn't help but laugh at how silly the three women looked.

As soon as they were settled at their table, a waiter came up and handed them the menu. 

"There aren't any prices." Sam whispered to Ian.

"Just order whatever you want." Ian told his sister. 

"But, aren't you worried about the price, this place looks really fancy." Sam told him with a frown as she looked around.

"I'll explain everything after we order, but for now, just order what you want, isn't tempura your favorite? Go order that." Ian said as he pointed at the food item on the menu.

"But it will be expensive." Sam said with a frown.

"If you don't order it, I will." Ian threatened his sister.

"Fine, fine." Sam said as she gave the waiter her order.

The restaurant at Solaire Towers hosted a variety of cuisines from all over the world. Their menu was actually several pages long, each page dedicated to a particular cuisine.

They wanted to be able to provide for every single craving of their residents. 

When everyone was done ordering, someone suddenly approached Ian and his group.

"Lim." The man hissed as he looked down at Ian.

"Do you know him?" Camilla asked as she pointed at the stranger.

"Manuel?" Ian asked, he wasn't sure if this man was the same youth that had him kidnapped and tortured.

"I see you managed to nab yourself a sugar mama." Manuel said with a grin as he eyed Camilla.

"She's -" Ian started to say before Camilla placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Relax." Camilla said as she glared at Manuel. "And you are?" She asked Manuel.

"Manuel Howell." Manuel said as he offered his hand for Camilla to shake.

Camilla ignored him and simply nodded.

"You're supposed to tell me your name, beautiful." Manuel said with a wink as he walked closer to Camilla. "I promise you, I can satisfy you much more than Lim here."

"Ian, this person is bothering me." Camilla said in an adorable feminate voice, confusing Ian for a moment.

"He can't do anything about me, he's just some poor kid." Manuel said with a laugh as he looked down at Ian.

Sam and Karina looked at their brother anxiously, while John leaned back casually against his seat, watching the events unfold.

"Really?" Camilla asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah, darling, I can get him sent out of here, just say the word." Manuel boasted.

Camilla watched as Ian gripped the arm rests of his seat as he tried to control his anger. She had no idea who Manuel was to Ian, but from the looks of it, he was someone that needed to have his ass handed to him.

She laughed at Manuel's words, confusing him for a minute before he lowered his head and brought it close to her face.

Annoyed at how Manuel was treating Camilla, Ian was forced to stand up and pull Manuel away as he yanked on the man's shoulder.

"You fucking dare?" Manuel said in an amused tone. "You got away before, but this time I guarantee you, you won't." Manuel challenged.

"Oh this will be entertaining." John said with a laugh. As he waved a waiter over and ordered some drinks for the table.

"You find this interesting?" Sam asked John as she worried about her older brother.

"Relax, no one can touch Ian." John said as he shook his head. "Manuel is an idiot. Even I won't go against Ian or Camilla."

"Shut it." Camilla said as she glared at John. "I wanna see how far he takes it."

"Manuel or Ian?" John asked.

"Duh, Manuel." Camilla said as she rolled her eyes and turned her attention back to Ian and Manuel who were glaring at each other.

"You should learn respect, Lim." Manuel said as he spat at Ian on the face.

"You know, that's very unhygienic." Ian told Manuel in a calm voice.

"Oh, no." Sam said with a gasp.

"Why?" Camilla asked as she looked at the sisters.

"When Ian is calm, that's when he is at his worst. He can explode at any time." Karina, who was seated closest to Camilla whispered.

"Ian. . ." Camilla said as she began to worry.

"Relax, we're at Solaire, as I said, he is practically untouchable." John said with a grin as if he knew something that the others didn't.

"Just because you have some whore paying for you doesn't make you any better." Manuel said as he began to get angry.

His shouts drew the attention of everyone else in the restaurant. People were now watching, but what puzzled Camilla, was that whenever one person attempted to take a video, a member of the staff would stop them, take their phone and delete the video.

"You noticed it?" John said with a grin.

"Now, that's unfair to Camilla." Ian said as he shook his head. "I can't let you say bad things about my friend." Ian said with a grin.

"Or what? What will you do Lim?" Manuel asked as he challenged Ian.

"This." Ian said as he punched Manuel squarely on the jaw, making the man fall backwards as the crowd gasped and screamed.

"Help him, why aren't you helping him?" A woman frantically called out as she looked at the staff. "Don't you fucking know who he is?" She asked.

Ian looked at the well dressed woman, he had noticed her earlier. She was grinning as Manuel berated him and hit on Camilla.

By the looks of it they were either friends or relatives.

"Miss, what do you want us to do?" One of the security personnel of the restaurant asked as he approached the woman.

"Throw that fucking asshole out!" The woman screamed as she pointed at Ian.

The security personnel nodded at his companions as they walked towards Ian and his group.

"This is the most excitement I've seen in months, I'm glad you two arrived." John said as he casually sipped his wine.
