His dark, fierce stare frightened everyone. No one knew what was going on. Everyone looked at Maddox awkwardly, not knowing what to feel in the moment.
Sam thought this strange and followed their gaze.
At the end of his line of sight, he finally spotted Minerva sitting downstairs. With one hand rested on the table, she spoke sternly to the person across from her. Her moist, rosy pink lips glistened brightly under the light, and her cold, distant eyes emanated seduction like no other.
Sam then quickly shot a glance at Young Master Yardley.
"It's her again!"
It was no wonder Young Master Yardley was distracted and embarrassed himself.
"Young Master Yardley... If you are interested in this woman, why don't we invite her upstairs to have a chat?"
Maddox was quiet and no one knew what to say. A courageous soul then boldly made a statement, but upon seeing that no response was given by Maddox, he got up immediately and walked downstairs.
After a few more people left, Maddox raised the wine glass in his hand. He took a sip and curled his lips.
He thought about just how she would react to it.
"Young Master Yardley!" Sam, who was behind Maddox tensed up at once. "Wouldn't they harass Miss Shelly?"
Upon hearing this, Maddox raised his eyebrows and shot him an icy glance.
Sam immediately felt a chill down his spine, and dared not to speak anymore. He could only silently step aside and watch Minerva through the casement window.
"Well, the service of this restaurant is a little slow. We have been here for so long, yet not even a single dish has been served." Vera continued playing her mobile game while stretching her hand out to press on her stomach.
At this instance, Beanie raised his head. "Auntie Vera, hide behind me, or else you will be defeated soon."
After hearing this, Vera paused and then began cursing furiously.
"F*ck, I only pressed on my stomach for a while and this b*stard attacks me? Do you think I am that easily bullied? Beanie, come on, chop his head off!"
With such a fierce remark, the surrounding crowd could not help but turn to see what was happening. When they saw that it was only the two of them playing a mobile game, they shifted their gazes away.
Minerva was amused by the gazes of the people around her.
Vera had a great personality and got along well with people of all ages.
"However..." Minerva slightly furrowed her brows.
Not long after she entered and sat down, she sensed a pair of eyes staring at her with great intensity, eliciting a feeling very familiar to her.
Minerva looked around the room, but found no such special presence.
"Strange." Minerva reached out her hand and pinched her brows.
Could it be that she had been so immersed in her thoughts that she had started imagining things?
While she pondered over the thought, several stout figures walked towards Minerva's table and stopped right in front of her.
"Miss."
The abrupt voice of a man startled Minerva and the group. After getting rid of the last opponent in his game, Beanie also raised his head. At the sight of these middle-aged men, Vera's expression instantly changed.
"Who are you?"
Vera gallantly stood up and led Beanie behind her, shielding him from the men.
Minerva stayed in her seat, nonchalantly looking at them.
"What can I do for you?"
These men had initially intended to flatter Young Master Yardley. However, they were rendered speechless when they saw that Minerva only slightly raise her brows as she remained calmly seated, unbothered by the situation.
"Well, if you have nothing to say, we'll have our dinner."
