Chapter 9

Thomas Dunn’s unctuous expression took a pause as his face turned beet-red with flaring nostrils the moment he heard those words from Nathan!

He turned and glared at the security supervisor and his men, “What a bunch of idiots! You are all fired, scram!”

He sacked them on the spot and chased them away immediately.

He then turned to Nathan and resumed his fawning smile, “Please follow me, Sir.”

Nathan glimpsed at his bare feet and reminded him, “You’d better put on your shoes first.”

Thomas Dunn was dazed when he lowered his eyes and saw his two bare feet. He realized with a pang that he had completely forgotten about his shoes when he rushed out in a frenzy.

His secretary came over and squatted down to help him put on his shoes.

Thomas Dunn slipped back into his shoes and stifled an awkward grin before he invited Nathan into the restaurant, “Sir, this way, please.”

After a comical encounter, Nathan and company finally stepped into Cloud Palace.

As if they were stepping into a real palace, they were awed by its interior, which was exquisitely furnished and exuberantly lavish.

“Please come this way, Sir. This is our best VIP room.” Thomas Dunn led them to a large room.

Leah fidgeted and suggested, “Why don’t we just dine in the main hall? Let’s skip the VIP room.”

She knew that it would cost much more to dine in a VIP room. It was the unwritten rule in every entertainment or dining outlet.

The lush decor of this place made the palaces she had seen on television pale in comparison.

Fearing that they might not have been able to pay for the bill, Leah suggested skipping the VIP room.

“So my mother-in-law doesn’t like to dine in a VIP room,” Nathan relayed her suggestion to Thomas Dunn.

“Oh, I see. Do you like a more cozy feel? Let’s sit in the main hall then. I’ll get you a table by the window so that you can enjoy the view as well.” Thomas Dunn presented them a gummy smile.

“That would be fine,” Nathan agreed.

So they tucked in at a table near the window while Thomas Dunn asked for the menu from his captain. He would personally take their orders.

Penny and the rest held their breath as they saw the prices on the menu.
