Chapter 51 - Accident During The Performance!

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

As soon as they arrived at Room 307, a middle-aged man who seemed to be about 40 years old walked towards them.

“Hey, Miss Clarke! What a coincidence!”

The man seemed to know Victoria.

Victoria was also a bit surprised. “It’s you, Mr. Crews. Are you here for dinner too? I remember that you usually dine at Sunny Restaurant.”

Victoria knew Mr. Crews, a close friend of Zack, and would often dine at Zack’s restaurant.

Mr. Crews said, “Well, my son insists on watching Trey Scott or whoever that is, perform, so he made me come here.”

Victoria smiled. She believed that many of the patrons tonight were people who had been coerced into having dinner here by their children.

The reason being, most teenagers and young people who liked listening to Travis Scott could not afford to book a private room or dine at this restaurant. Besides, it was commonplace for parents to indulge their children these days to generally give in to their children’s requests and take them wherever they wanted.

Therefore, Jordan chose to invite a singer who was popular among young people and not middle-aged folks.

Mr. Crews glanced at Jordan beside Victoria and asked, “Who’s this?”

Victoria looked at Jordan, whose identity as the company president was still kept a secret to the public and known only to the C-level executives of partner companies. Hence, Victoria didn’t dare to introduce him.

Seeing this, Jordan put his arm around Ashley’s shoulders and said, “I’m Ashley’s boyfriend.”

Ashley was so flattered and surprised that she almost jumped up and leaped into Jordan’s arms.

‘I wish Mr. Steele would keep holding me like this…’

Ashley really wanted to pin Jordan beneath her at this moment.

Upon sight of that gesture, Mr. Crews laughed and said, “So he’s Ashley’s boyfriend, I see. I can tell that Miss Rose and this young chap here are very much in love with each other.”

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Jordan and the two ladies headed inside the private room and closed the door.

Ashley had great self-awareness and didn’t think of herself as Jordan’s girlfriend anymore. Hence, she immediately poured some water for Jordan and Victoria as soon as they entered.

Victoria said, “All the seats are filled in Cloud Cafeteria today, and the reservation slots for the rest of the week are almost full. Meanwhile, there are now less than twenty customers in Zack Smith’s restaurant across from us. Some of them might even be his friends whom he had invited.”

Ashley, too, raised her arm and exclaimed, “Mr. Steele, you’re awesome! You completely defeated Zack Smith, and you’re going to monopolize the restaurant industry of Orlando!”

Looking at Ashley’s adorable behavior, Jordan smiled and then said,

“Sunny Restaurant has the liveliest business among all the restaurants under Zack Smith. I just need to make this restaurant go out of business, and there’ll be nothing to fear anymore.”

Jordan picked up his glass of water and recalled the domineering and condescending attitude that Zack had during Diana’s birthday banquet the other day. He then chugged the water in one go!

“Let’s see who’s going to have his career and means of livelihood ruined!”

Soon, it was 8 o’clock in the evening, which was the time for the hit, Sicko Mode, to be performed.

During this time, all of the guests in the private rooms from the second to the fifth floor left their rooms and stood outside to watch the performance.

Inside Room 307.

“Do you want to go out and watch the performance?” Victoria asked Jordan.

She was worried Jordan would not like seeing both Tyler and Hailey since Tyler and Hailey were dining at the same place the song was being performed.

Jordan said, “Of course, I’m the boss of this place. Even if I dislike the music, I still have to go out there and see how the audience reacts to the performance. Come on, let’s go outside.”

Jordan, Victoria, and Ashley, too, came out of the room.

The rapper soon appeared on the second floor, and it instantly caused a huge commotion.

After briefly greeting a few fans, he quickly began performing.

Many of the customers in the restaurant started screaming at the top of their lungs as soon as the intro began.

The rapper slowly began to perform.

“Sun is down, freezin cold.”

The audience started to chorus after the first line of the lyrics was sung.

Tyler and Hailey also sang along when they were beside the rapper.

Tyler flaunted smugly, “Does it feel good to be so up close to a celebrity!?!”

Hailey nodded profusely, “Yes! It’s great to have money, haha!”

“That’s right, being rich is awesome! I’m the perfect husband, hahahahah!”

While relishing smugly, Tyler took the opportunity to put his arm around Hailey’s shoulders, which the latter did not refute.

At this moment, Victoria noticed that Jordan had tightened his grip on the railing of the third floor.

She glanced down to look at Tyler and Hailey and instantly understood what was going on.

Victoria extended her fair left hand and placed it on Jordan’s right hand.

She gave it a few gentle rubs and said, “If you don’t want to see them, you can tell them to leave.”

Jordan was the owner of this place, so of course, he had the right to do that.

Jordan sighed and said, “Even if they don’t get all touchy-feely here, they will do it elsewhere.”

“At the end of the day, I still haven’t completely gotten over her.”

After all, Jordan had loved Hailey for three years, so it obviously wasn’t easy to let it go just like that.

Victoria had also gone through a similar experience. She predicted that Jordan would probably take more than a year to get over Hailey.

At this moment, the rapper’s voice was suddenly inaudible, and only the background music could be heard. The rapper began to panic a little as he constantly tapped the microphone.

Jordan hurriedly snapped back to his senses with a stern expression.
