In fact, many secretly felt a sense of satisfaction on Michael\u2019s behalf.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Only Michael himself looked anything but pleased.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Winnie set the items down and turned to leave. Michael didn\u2019t speak, but a troublemaker in the room called out to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHey, what kind of service is this? You didn\u2019t even announce the dishes when you served them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are the fruit platters and snacks you ordered. Everything on the order has been served,\u201d Winnie replied coolly, only after hearing that.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her curt tone immediately displeased Lindsay\u2019s girlfriends.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAren\u2019t you the store manager? I remember Olson Group stores always have top-tier service. How did someone like you become a manager?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, and do you even know who you\u2019re serving today? That\u2019s the Morrison family heir. With that attitude, it seems you don\u2019t want a tip?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lindsay was somewhat displeased as well. From the moment she entered, she had noticed Winnie-pretty, yes, but wearing a cold expression, not even offering a word of welcome.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Still, today was her date with Michael. She had to maintain her image and couldn\u2019t speak up herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sorry, Lindsay. Our store manager is quite senior and usually doesn\u2019t serve guests personally. She may have forgotten some of the service-industry etiquette.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At that moment, Veronica pushed the door open and entered. Smiling warmly, she picked up where Lindsay\u2019s friend left off before turning her gaze to Winnie.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat are you standing there for? The guests are unhappy. Aren\u2019t you going to apologize properly?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The room fell deathly silent. All eyes were on Winnie.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She shot Veronica a cold glance, then swept her gaze across the room-just in time to meet Michael\u2019s eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The hand resting on his thigh tightened almost imperceptibly. His brows were slightly drawn, emotions churning in his eyes as he stared at her without blinking.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Everyone else watched with thinly veiled schadenfreude.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 254\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2013\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Aside from Lindsay and her friends, nearly everyone here knew who Winnie really was. Yet no one exposed it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Winnie took a deep breath. \u201cI\u2019m sorry. My attitude was inappropriate. If you\u2019d like someone else to serve you, I\u2019ll have another staff member come in immediately.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want the manager. That\u2019s the highest level of service, don\u2019t you know?\u201d Lindsay\u2019s friend was the first to reject the offer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michael\u2019s friends quickly joined in, fanning the flames.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve never heard of service staff picking their customers. You\u2019ve got quite the temper for a store manager.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is it? Don\u2019t you want to serve Michael?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Seeing everyone ganging up on Winnie, Michael suddenly spoke in a low voice, \u201cLet her go. Change the server.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy change her?\u201d one of Michael\u2019s childhood friends immediately protested on his behalf. \u201cMichael, I think she\u2019s the perfect one to serve us!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But as soon as the words left his mouth, Michael shot him a cold look.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michael rarely lost his temper. When his expression darkened like this, he was truly angry.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The friend fell silent at once.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Since Michael had spoken, Winnie turned to leave.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But Veronica reached out and blocked her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve ruined everyone\u2019s mood. You should at least make amends.\u201d She smiled. \u201cHow about this-open a bottle of wine and drink it in one go to celebrate Lindsay\u2019s birthday. After that, you can leave.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Veronica was deliberately making things difficult for Winnie.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Winnie couldn\u2019t handle alcohol. If she drank too much, she would have an allergic reaction.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And Michael, of course, knew that perfectly well.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 254 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 254 \u2013 Love [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[78],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26775","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-billionaires-checkmate-novel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26775","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26775"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26775\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26775"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26775"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26775"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
