The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 451

They had been here for ages, already a good forty minutes.

"Sorry, it's just so packed in here, the kitchen can't keep up. Bear with us a bit longer, your food will be out soon."

The older lady heard this and thought, don't pull her leg, this was the Dawn Restaurant, with so many people in the kitchen, how could they possibly be overwhelmed?

From the manager's words earlier, it seemed like they were waiting for some important guest?

So, just because there was an important guest, they were not going to serve them, the regular customers?

Especially since Olga had splashed out and booked the whole floor, she was hardly a regular customer, right? Why hadn't even drinks been served yet? This was so weird.

Olga waited a bit longer, saw the manager talking with a group of waiters. Unable to hold back her frustration, she walked over, her anger building up inside.

"Manager, when will we get our food? Our guests are starving."

"Madam, I'm really sorry, actually we were not planning on serving other guests today, it was you and Mr. Murphy who insisted on dining here and insisted that we clear out eighty-eight spots for you." said the manager.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to the trouble of setting up eleven large tables and marking out a spot for them to sit.

"Our guests tonight are very important, our superiors have made it clear that they mustn't be neglected, all our efforts should be focused on them."

"So you mean, if they haven't arrived, we can't start eating?"

"Not like that, madam, I still took a risk to mark out this spot for you, if the executives found out that we served you in advance and neglected the important guests, we might lose our jobs!"

Attlee and Yolanda watched from a distance, saw that Olga seemed to be getting nowhere, hurried over, before they could say anything, they saw the manager receive a phone call, the important guest had arrived!!!
