170: Chapter 170: The Beaten Waiter 170: Chapter 170: The Beaten Waiter Yusuf Zuck and Mia sat in a corner under the banquet, Yusuf holding a glass of red wine, savoring each sip, while Mia drank fruit juice.
She never drank alcohol in public, no matter who urged her.
Right after the two of them got seated, two young n who had exchanged a sign with Leilani May ca over.
“Lara, when did you get here?” The two young n actually knew Mia.
Lara just rolled her eyes and showed no intention of standing up to introduce them, simply saying, “I have a friend with today, and we’re discussing so matters.
Let’s catch up another day, thanks.” She was politely showing them out, not wanting to talk to these two.
“Hehe, Lara, you’ve got it wrong.
We don’t an anything by it, we just wanted to get to know your friend here.
You know us, we’re starting up a business, and having more friends ans more paths, right?”
“Sorry, I’m his bodyguard.” Yusuf chuckled.
“Okay then, Lara, you guys chat.” The two young n walked away disappointed and disheartened.
“Annoying.
If anyone else cos over later, just help block them,” Mia complained.
“Whenever I’m at places like this, every Tom, Dick, and Harry cos over trying to get close.
Can’t they see I can tell what they’re really thinking?”
“Maybe they’re just indulging you.
You are the beloved daughter, a princess, the future heiress of the Tuff family.
Getting to know you could be useful for their future, right?
Even if they can’t win your heart, becoming your friend would be a big boost for them!”
“Yo, you sure know quite a bit, huh?
So what about you?
What do you want from getting close to , also hoping to win my heart?”
“Grandma, it was you who dragged here, okay?” Yusuf said with a mix of laughter and exasperation.
“So you haven’t thought about winning over?” Mia asked curiously.
“Do you want the truth or a lie?” Yusuf asked with a mischievous smile.
“Forget it, don’t say either.
I don’t want to hear it; it’s no fun!” Mia imdiately stopped Yusuf from continuing, knowing so things are better left unsaid.
She was a clever woman.
After the two young n left, indeed more people ca over to greet them, including several ladies, but Mia had Yusuf block them all.
She was there for charity, leaving socializing to the company’s executives, to her father.
In her life, she wouldn’t follow her father’s path.
She wouldn’t do business or take control of the company, so she didn’t need to socialize with business circles.
A few good friends were enough; there was no need for too many.
After making her rounds, Leilani May moved over to the corner of the two young n and sat between them.
Although Leilani May was in her thirties, her allure was stronger than that of many won in their twenties.
As soon as she sat down between the two n, they were captivated, intoxicated by her fragrance.
Both even started feeling flush with arousal.
“So, got turned down?” Leilani May whispered.
“Er…
Er…” Hearing Leilani May’s voice, the two young n were montarily stunned before they gathered their wits.
One of them muttered, “That woman is sick, I seriously suspect she’s a lesbian.”
“Hehe, she even brought a male companion today, the sun must have risen from the west!” Another mocked.
“Actually, I have an idea that could get you closer to her,” Leilani May mused.
“Forget it, no more interest.
Rather than getting closer to her, I’d prefer to curry favor with you, Leilani May.” One of the young n gazed intently at Leilani May’s cleavage!
Leilani May was taken aback for a mont, then covered her mouth, giggling.
“You’re a little rascal,” Leilani May said, tapping one of the young n.
“Hehe, we all admire you, Leilani May,” the other young man said with a mischievous grin.
“Well then, how about we discuss life tonight, just the three of us?” Leilani May looked at the two young n seductively: “It’s been a while since I’ve had so tender lons!”
“Not only tender but also fresh,” the two young n chuckled lewdly.
“Alright, alright, don’t leave after the party’s over, find in the upstairs office.” Leilani May was welcoming to all cors.
Two naive kids didn’t scare her at all; and if she didn’t take advantage of them, she would no longer be known as Leilani May.
Just as Leilani May finished speaking and was about to stand up, a waiter, coincidentally carrying a tray, bent over to place the drinks on the tea cart in front of her.
As Leilani May rose and the waiter bent, they collided unexpectedly, and the waiter’s tray was knocked over, spilling two glasses of red wine all over Leilani May.
“Damn it, are you blind?!”
“Smack—smack—” The two young n stood up angrily, one cursing and the other lashing out with a slap on each side of the waiter’s face.
The waiter almost fell, staggering two steps backward as many people at the event turned to look.
“It’s fine, it’s fine, everyone carry on, I’ll just go change my clothes,” Leilani May indicated to the onlookers to continue, then whispered to the waiter: “Pack up and get out.”
The waiter had a look of dejection, suddenly let out a bitter laugh, shook his head, and then turned to leave.
Yusuf Zuck and Mia had also noticed the situation, but neither of them stood up; everyone watched the waiter turn and seem to head to the back to change his clothes.
“That’s it, poor kid, got hit and got fired!” Mia sighed.
“That’s just bullying.
I saw it earlier; the waiter didn’t do it on purpose, he was even trying to bring Leilani May a drink.
And for what reason do those two little bastards have the right to hit soone?” Yusuf Zuck was also a nobody; just over half a month ago, he was a security guard, on the sa social level as the waiter, so he felt sympathy for the waiter.
At the sa ti, he thought the waiter lacked spine.
If it had been him, he wouldn’t care if it were so rich guy’s son or whatnot, if you hit , I’m going to hit back twice as hard.
“What good would hitting back do?
There’s too big a gap in social status between a waiter and them!” Mia replied.
“Heh, bullying with their power,” Zuck said fiercely.
“If it were , I would have knocked those two little bastards’ balls out!”
“Do you think everyone is as fearless as you?”
“Zzzt—zzzt—” Just then, suddenly, all the lights in the venue flickered and buzzed a few tis before going out completely, leaving the place in pitch darkness.
“What happened?
Why is there a blackout?”
“Staff, go check what’s going on!”
“Everyone stay calm, please stay where you are, it’ll be fixed soon,” soone took the initiative to maintain order.
Indeed, with soone taking charge, the venue did not descend into chaos.
Everyone waited for the power to return.
“Not good.” At that mont, Zuck suddenly sensed sothing amiss.
The instant the lights went out, his telekinesis covered a radius of fifteen ters, and while everyone was waiting for the lights, he saw through his powers that the waiter who had been slapped earlier had erged from the back with a gleaming at cleaver in hand, charging straight at the two young n who had hit him.
In the pitch black, no one could see him approaching with the knife.
Only Zuck saw it.
“Mia, stay put and don’t move, don’t you dare move, I’ll be right back!” As Zuck’s voice trailed off, he had already darted forward, speeding toward the waiter.
He wasn’t out to save the two young n; he wanted to save the waiter because he didn’t want the waiter to throw his life away over a few slaps.
Acting on impulse had life-threatening consequences, an act of folly.
As a fellow underdog, he didn’t want to see soone like him et a fate so full of sorrow, so he had to intervene!
