Chapter 174:

The waitress’s words indicated that even though there was a private room available, Eileen and Benjamin couldn’t use it.

“We made a reservation; it’s the restaurant’s responsibility to uphold that reservation. You should be looking for a way to solve this,” Eileen said. While Eileen argued with the waitress, Benjamin had been staring at a large black marble signage at the restaurant entrance, which detailed the origins of the restaurant. Next to it was a notice that read, “Due to high demand, please book in advance. Walk-in customers will not be served. If your reservation is confirmed and the restaurant is unable to accommodate you for any reason, you will receive tenfold compensation.”

Pointing at the notice, Benjamin said to the waitress, “If you cannot find us a table, then you’re required to compensate us tenfold as per your policy.” Eileen looked in the direction Benjamin was pointing and saw the big, bold text. Nodding in approval, she then turned to look at the waitress.

The waitress hesitated for a few seconds before looking at Eileen with newfound displeasure. “We’re only required to compensate you if your booking was confirmed. Did you receive a confirmation text?”

“Of course.” Eileen took out her phone and showed the waitress the text. The waitress barely glanced at it before saying dismissively, “You’ve been scammed. That’s not our restaurant’s number!”

At this point, Eileen’s patience was running extremely thin. She had never encountered such a shameless waitress before. As the waitress turned to go back inside, Eileen grabbed her arm to stop her. Anger written all over her face, Eileen dialed the number from the confirmation text, and the call soon connected.

“Hello, Fireside Restaurant. How may I help you?”

“Your waitress just hit a customer. I demand to see the manager!” Eileen said. Eileen hung up without waiting for a response. The pissed-off waitress struggled and tried to break free, but Eileen had an iron grip. Soon, a man in a white polo, jeans, and glasses emerged from the restaurant.

“Emory, what the hell is going on?” Seeing that his staff had engaged in an altercation with a customer, the man shouted angrily at the waitress.

The waitress, flustered, stopped struggling and muttered a greeting to her manager. “I’m really sorry about this, Miss. Could you tell me what happened?” the manager asked Eileen politely. Eileen finally let go of the waitress’s arm, her voice ice-cold. “I made a reservation at your restaurant and received a confirmation text, but your staff member had the audacity to turn me away at the door. She even told me that the number that sent me the text was fake. So, I called to verify.”

she looked at the waitress. “You wouldn’t say that this manager is also a fake, right?” The irony in Eileen’s eyes made the waitress even more flustered. Hearing this, the manager’s expression turned gloomy. He glanced at the waitress unhappily

over her face. Instantly, everyone’s attention shifted to Eileen. Bryan’s sharp gaze lingered on Eileen’s face for a few seconds before flitting over to Benjamin beside her. Benjamin walked over and greeted them
