nDeclan was caught off guard and began stumbling away, but he definitely didn’t dare to get angry. As soon as he regained his balance, he saw a person standing behind Sawyer, and his eyes lit up.

n

n

n“Mr. Davis! You’re here too…” Declan hurriedly greeted Flynn Davis.

n

n

n

n

n“Shut up!” Davis similarly pushed past him. Without even looking at Declan, he hurried into the private room.

n

n

nSawyer rushed into the private room and looked at Lucas, who was sitting on a chair. He smiled and bowed. “I never expected to run into you here today, Mr. Gray. It’s such a coincidence. I happen to be treating some friends to a meal here today. Please grant me the honor of having a meal with you.”

n

n

nDavis greeted too. “Hello, Mr. Gray.”

n

n

nHe almost addressed Lucas as chairman, but he held it back because he recalled Lucas’s instructions not to reveal his identity.

n

n

n

n

nLucas looked at Sawyer and Davis and grinned mirthlessly. “Mr. Sawyer, you booked the entire restaurant for yourself just for a meal. I don’t dare to stay.”

n

n

nSawyer was puzzled. “Booked the entire restaurant? Who said that?”

n

n

nThe manager at the side immediately shuddered, thinking that his plan to cozy up to Ethan Sawyer by bootlicking had failed.

n

n

nThe manager stood up and smiled. “I was just scared that others might ruin your mood, but I didn’t know that this gentleman here is your friend. I’m very sorry!”

n

n

n

n

nThe restaurant supervisor at the side also turned pale in shock. Actually, it was considered a common practice of their restaurant. Ethan Sawyer was the big boss of the restaurant, and since he was hosting some guests, the staff drove everyone away.

n

n

nHowever, he didn’t know that one of the guests he had driven away was Ethan Sawyer’s friend. This is horrible!

n

n

nThe waiter who came over to clear the room was so scared that he started shuddering in fear and was on the brink of tears.

n

n

nHe was just a waiter, and these things had nothing to do with him…

n

n

n“Mr. Sawyer, I’m very sorry…” The supervisor hurriedly bowed and apologized to Lucas.

n

n

nHowever, Sawyer directly interrupted him, “Enough. Since you’ve offended a distinguished guest, you’re fired. Go collect your salary and leave!”

n

n

n

n

nThe manager and supervisor wanted to plead for leniency. But when they saw the stern expression on Sawyer’s face, they were too scared to say anything and had no choice but to hang their heads low and go to the HR department to handle the procedures.

n

n

nMeanwhile, the waiter really felt like crying.

n

n

n“Forget it.” Lucas waved his hand. “They just assumed that that was what you wanted. I wasn’t offended either.”

n

n

nWith a look of embarrassment, Sawyer said smilingly, “I will instruct them to pay more attention in the future and never repeat such a mistake again.”

n

n

nAfter that, Sawyer glared at the three people in front of him, “What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and thank Mr. Gray. If he hadn’t spoken up for you, you would have lost your jobs! Remember, don’t do such things again in the future. I’m not that demanding!”

n

n

nHearing Sawyer’s words, the restaurant manager, the supervisor, and the unlucky waiter hurriedly bowed to Lucas and thanked him. “Thank you for being so generous, Mr. Gray! Thank you so much!”

n

n

nThis scene made Declan Adams and Estelle Brooke, who were standing at the entrance of the private room, stare wide-eyed at them!

n

n

nNone of them expected that Ethan Sawyer, the richest man in Orange County, and Flynn Davis, the general manager of the Stardust Corporation, would actually swallow their pride in front of Lucas.

n

n

n

n

nThey tried to fire the manager and supervisor because they thought that they had offended Lucas. However, the staff were saved by Lucas’s words.

n

n

nHow can he be an ordinary person? Declan felt that he was dreaming.

n

n

nIn particular, a few minutes ago, he still treated Lucas as a loser who was just sponging off a woman. He even talked to him condescendingly.

n

n

nThinking of this, Declan wanted to give himself a few slaps!

n

n

n“Um… Mr. Gray, I’m so sorry for offending you just now. Please let me off on Charlotte’s account and pardon me for my ignorance.” Declan Adams bowed to Lucas carefully.

n

n

nSeeing her husband stooping so low, Estelle couldn’t help but be furious. However, she also knew that someone who could make Ethan Sawyer and Flynn Davis stoop low too must be extraordinary and reckoned that she probably could not afford to provoke him.

n

n

nAt the thought of this, Estelle glared at Charlotte with jealousy and resentment. What right does this woman whom my husband doesn’t want have to find a boyfriend who’s even more impressive than Declan?

n

n

nAfter hearing Declan’s words, Lucas smiled. “I’m just a jobless man waiting to sponge off a woman. How can I compare to you, Mr. Adams, who’s so close to Mr. Davis of the Stardust Corporation?”

n

n

nAs soon as Declan heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat.

n

n

nEarlier, he had blindly bragged in front of Charlotte and Lucas, saying that he had a good relationship with Davis and would help Charlotte talk to him so as to help her get promoted. However, the truth was that Davis didn’t know him at all!

n

n

nThe worst thing was that Davis was right here! Wouldn’t his lie be exposed then?

n

n

nAs he had expected, Davis looked at Declan in bewilderment and asked with a frown, “Who are you?”

n

n

nThese three simple words were like a loud slap on Declan’s face!

n

n

n

n

nDeclan’s face began to heat up, and he hurriedly said, “Mr. Davis, I’m from the Sunshine Corporation, and I’m here in Orange County to discuss the cooperation with your company…”

n

n

nDavis had long heard what happened. He also understood that Declan must have offended Lucas and even deliberately bragged about being close to him. Someone like him wants to cooperate with the Stardust Corporation? He can forget about it!

n

n

nDavis interrupted Declan, “The Stardust Corporation will not cooperate with you. From now on, we will reject all business dealings with you! Please leave.”

n

n

nDeclan immediately stiffened.

n

n

nBut at this moment, Sawyer added, “The same goes for the Sawyer Corporation. From now on, we will refuse any cooperation related to the Sunshine Corporation!”

n

n

nThe two big shots spoke at the same time and turned down all cooperations with the Sunshine Corporation, making Declan frightened speechless!

n

n

nThis time, he came to Orange County on his family’s orders to sign a cooperation agreement with the Stardust Corporation to expand the business scope of the Sunshine Corporation to Orange County.

n

n

nWhen his family finally handed the task to him, he was full of confidence, thinking that he would definitely be able to clinch the deal with his good looks and even expand into Orange County.

n

n

nHowever, before he did anything, he was condemned and declined by Flynn Davis, the general manager of the Stardust Corporation, and Ethan Sawyer, the richest man in Orange County, all because of this incident!
