While Raeleigh was listening to the server, Jepherson stepped out of his private elevator, holding his phone. The restaurant had walls made of glasses, and from where she sat, she could see him exiting the elevator.
Just then, a beautiful girl dressed fashionably with her hair down walked toward Jepherson. The scene looked straight out of a movie. The moment Jepherson appeared, the girl swiftly approached him and bumped into him, catching him off guard.
Jepherson was fine, but she fell to the floor.
His eyebrows knitted into a deep frown. Casting his glance at the girl on the floor, it seemed as if something had ruffled his feathers with displeasure pervading his gaze.
Looking up, the girl saw that he had a disgruntled look.
The manager hurried to Jepherson. He was much older than Jepherson, but he did not take their age gap into thought as he went up to Jepherson with his head drooped and apologized.
"Mr. Jepherson, we're so sorry for our negligence. We'll investigate this matter thoroughly."
The manager was uneasy as Jepherson pulled a
long face.
"Deal with this." Without taking a second look at the girl, Jepherson removed his jacket and handed it to the manager. He would not wear anything other women had touched.
The manager took a quick look at the jacket and quickly took it over. Even if he were to do something with it, he couldn't just throw it away; he'd had to check with Stuart.
Jepherson didn't even bother checking what the girl looked like, heading straight to Raeleigh.
When Stuart saw Jepherson coming over, trailed by the anxious manager, he stepped forward and greeted, "Mr. Jepherson."
"Go deal with the jacket."
Stuart witnessed the whole scene, so he obliged and went to the manager, taking the jacket from him before returning to Jepherson's side.
"What have you ordered?"
Jepherson was wearing a white dress shirt. Those in the restaurant rarely saw him dressed so, let alone him having his meal there.
As they became the center of attention, Raeleigh said, "I haven't made up my mind yet. What are you getting?"
"Anything."
Raeleigh browsed through the menu and asked the server, "Are the two dishes you introduced on 20% off?"
The server's mind went blank for a second before he answered. "Yes."
Raeleigh replied, "Your president and I will have one of each then."
The server was at a loss.
Stuart then spoke up, "Go ahead. Do as Madam Raeleigh said."
"Madam?"
The server was reeling in shock. Was the woman before her truly the president's wife?
The server couldn't believe his ears. Raeleigh said, "I'm not. Go on."
Her words left the server in confusion.
Jepherson picked up the menu and glanced at it before throwing out another order, "One order of steak and a side of minestrone."
"I'm sorry?"
The waiter was utterly perplexed!
"Do as President and Madam Raeleigh ordered," Stuart instructed.
Only then did the waiter leave with their order, nearly stumbling as he walked. Raeleigh snickered at the scene, with Jepherson fixing his piercing gaze on her. When Raeleigh withdrew her gaze, she happened to meet Jepherson's scorching eyes. Only then did the smile on her face fade away.
