Honorable Hubby Behind Me novel Chapter 75

The cashier behind the counter had long been scared speechless, but Samuel had not forgotten about her." Apologize to my wife,” he said.

"I-I'm sorry," she stuttered, bowing her head.

Christopher was still looking at Johann, hoping that h e could at least help by saying something. Even if his men could not defeat that punk, surely Johann's status could suppress that fellow's brazen arrogance somehow.

However, Christopher's hopes were dashed when Johann placed his hands on his thighs and bent over slightly, indicating deference to the young man. The sight made all the color leech out of Christopher's face.

Even Johann...did not dare to provoke that fellow!

Who on earth was this young man?

Samuel brought his wife to a table by the window; Christopher tiptoed over to Johann's side. "Brother Johann, who is this man?" he asked.

Johann emitted an unsympathetic harrumph." Christopher Lane, go and dig a grave and bury yourself in it," he said. "I’m not going to suffer in your place. If I get into trouble because of this, I'll never forgive you."

Ever since the run-in with Blake Coleman, Johann

knew that he was not regarded favorably by Samuel. If he made Samuel unhappy again, he could not tell if he could even maintain his current status.

Just as the manager and cashier were pondering the ways their boss would take revenge on Samuel, Christopher did something entirely unexpected.

He got onto his knees, scraping toward Samuel.

The manager and the cashier stared at Christopher in disbelief.

The owner of the Grand Hyatt was kneeling before someone!

"Sir, this... Our boss..."

The cashier was startled out of her wits, and her manager was not faring any better. The latter's eyes were full of terror as he looked at Samuel.

"Shut up. Not a word," the manager said coldly.

Yvonne was raking her eyes over Samuel with an unreadable expression; it made the hairs on his arms stand on end.

"What are you staring at me for?" Samuel could not help but ask.

"Christopher Lane is actually on his knees now, but you probably didn't spend money for this. That man would never shame himself like that even if you offered him all the world's riches," Yvonne said.

Samuel had told her that he paid Johann to settle the matter from before, and she had not given it much thought. She trusted him. However, the incident that day implied that it was not as simple as whipping out cash.
