Chapter 181 This is not where you should be
Star Coast was a famous fashion restaurant in H city. With its high price positioning and well-designed retro style, it had become one of the favorite restaurants for the silver-spoon in H city. At the moment,
"Walter, Oliver, although Star Coast is not the place with the highest consumption, the environment is classic and there are many beauties. As long as there is someone you like, you can count on me." Franklin looked at the two rich childes sitting opposite with a flattering expression.
Walter and Oliver were both playboys from Chuzhou. The families behind them were influential business families.
Franklin taxed his ingenuity to receive the two playboys in order to expand his contacts and won some business.
Walter took a squint at Franklin without paying any attention to him. He saw a lot of people who wanted to be a simp like Franklin when he was young. The humbler the posture, the less they were cared by him "It sounds interesting. What do you think, Oliver?"
Oliver seemed to have a lower status than Walter, and Walter was the most respected among the three.
"It's up to you, Walter. I follow you to enrich my experience. I'll do whatever you say." Oliver said with a smile.
"In that case, let's go to Star Coast. Let's see how girls in H city look like." Walter said casually.
"OK, let's go straight away."
Franklin took out a key to his Chrysler car. In order to entertain the two rich boys, he rented a luxury car at a huge sum of money.
Walter and Oliver got into the car, and Franklin got into the driver's seat with excitement.
"Can't you afford a driver? Don't tell me that you usually drive this car by yourself. "Walter said with a disdainful smile.
Franklin squeezed out an awkward smile, "That's for the sake of playing with you two. There would be a lot of inconvenience with a driver."
"Well, let's go." Walter said with little interest.
Franklin drove straight to Star Coast, thinking that he would put up a good show and stop making a fool of himself. If Walter was disgraced, everything he done would be in vain this time.
The car stopped outside the Star Coast. Franklin got off and opened the rear door attentively, "Here we are."
Walter and Oliver got out of the car and looked at the entrance of Star Coast.
The gate was of luxurious classical style. Walter nodded slightly when looking at the entrance door, and said, "This one has a style".
Franklin led Walter and Oliver inside happily.
The usher who was standing at the threshold bowed to them and said, "Do you have an appointment?"
"Appointment? I've been here so many times that I don't need to make an appointment." Franklin said with displeasure.
"I am sorry our restaurant has been blocking booked today, Sir. Except for the VIP who has made the reservation, we no longer receive any guests." The usher explained.
Franklin felt ashamed. He intended to bring them here to rebuild his reputation. Now he couldn't even make it through the door. It was a shame.
Walter sneered. Upon hearing his sneer, Franklin's spirit was frozen. If Walter was upset, Franklin can shut up about the following cooperation.
"Walter, just a moment. I'll fix it up." Franklin then rushed into the gate. The usher tried to stop him, but was pushed away by him.
"Ask your manager. I'm here to entertain my distinguished guests in your restaurant. Is that your attitude? What's your right not to let us dine here? I'll have dinner here today!"
"Sir, please don't be unreasonable. We are incapable of receiving you because we are reserved." The manager on duty came up in a hurry and said.
"I don't care. Don't tell me if it's private or not. I can also make a blocking booking. Just tell me how much it costs!"
"It costs 500,000 dollars to make a block booking, and the food, drinks and service fee are not included." said the manager.
Franklin was stunned for a moment. He couldn't even afford the service fee, let alone the block booking.
"Sir, if you want to make a block booking, you can make an appointment for tomorrow. We will serve you wholeheartedly."
The words of the manager hurt Franklin and made him felt that he was despised.
"Cut it off! I invite my friends to dinner. Just offer us a table. Don't talk nonsense. Do it for me."
"I'm sorry, I really can't." The manager just shook his head.
Franklin almost got a headache from this situation. He didn't know what to do. If he cannot make it, he was definitely going to be ridiculed by Walter.
Walter and Oliver came in, and Oliver curled his lip and said, "Franklin, you said yourself that you are powerful in H City, how come you cannot handle a room? How long do you want us to wait outside and see your farce?"
"So, that is your definition of 'power and respect'? You can't even convince a doorman. You are still bragging. All that glitters is not gold, and I know it from the first sight of you" Walter grinned with dissatisfaction.
Franklin's face turned red instantly. He regretted that he bragged too far just then and couldn't wind it up.
"Please listen to me. There is a misunderstanding here. Let me make a phone call and I can definitely fix it."
"Sir, I'm afraid it would be useless. Today's private reservation was arranged by my boss himself." The manager said with an ice-cold voice.
"You son of a bitch, why don't tell me earlier?"
Franklin was so angry that he wanted to kill him randomly. He put so much effort to fawn on Walter but it was about to be ruined by a failed arrangement.
"Arrange me the best room and serve me the most expensive dishes now, just arrange whatever room for the reservation. If you don't do as I say, I'll call someone to smash your restaurant right away!" Confronting Franklin's threat, the manager was not afraid at all, "If you are capable of doing that, just make the call."
Now Franklin simply wanted to kill himself for this insulting treatment.
"Mr. Griffith, you treat us like this. We've made a note of it." Oliver said coldly.
"Please wait for a minute. I'll arrange it right away." Franklin was sweating, but he had no idea.
He yelled ferociously, "Run to arrange the first-rate room for me, or I will be angry!"
A discordant voice came from behind. "Please get out."
Franklin turned his head and was surprised to find that Maximilian and Victoria came over.
He immediately frowned and said gloomily, "Maximilian! This is not where you should be! "☐☐☐☐
