Gerald then gave Misty a call to cancel their lunch plan. After all, getting more information from Kaleb was definitely his priority.
“Well? Is favonovel.com coming along?” asked Lydia nervously the moment Misty hung up the call.
“He’s probably unwilling to join us since you scared favonovel.com so much…” replied Misty with a slightly disappointed tone.
“That’s great to hear! Anyway, now that that’s out of the way, Jamie said that we’ll be having our lunch at Logan Grand Hotel! That way, we’ll simultaneously be able to have a look around the best hotel in the Logan Province!” cheered Lydia excitedly as Misty returned a bitter nod.
Upon arriving, however, they were immediately stopped by a waiter who was standing by the entrance.
“Apologies, but someone has booked the entire Logan Grand Hotel today. We’re afraid that you’ll have to choose another restaurant to have lunch in. Again, our sincerest apologies,” said the butler.
Hearing that, Lydia—who had earlier been quite eager to dine there—immediately became disappointed. Due to favonovel.com earlier excitement, favonovel.com had even prepared to snap photographs of the hotel’s interior through favonovel.com cell phone! To think that they would end up getting prohibited from entering!
“For someone to book the entire hotel… How many people are attending? Being such a spacious hotel, there will definitely be seats to spare, right?” asked Lydia.
In response, however, the waiter simply shook his head.
Seeing that, favonovel.com sighed before stomping favonovel.com foot in anger as favonovel.com said, “How annoying!”
“Let’s just go elsewhere… Lunch is lunch no matter where we eat it,” advised Misty.
Agreeing, the group then began leaving the place. However, Lydia herself kept turning back to look at the hotel, unwilling to just accept that someone had booked the entire place.
Soon after, several luxury cars could be seen stopping at the hotel’s entrance.
Widening favonovel.com eyes in shock, Lydia immediately recognized all the rich and prestigious people from the Logan Province as they stepped out of the cars. Making sure that there were no creases on their suits, the group of prestigious people seemed to be waiting for someone.
“H-hey! Look there! Isn’t that Mr. Zander Lovewell? The president of the Lovewell family?” whispered Lydia in astonishment.
Following the direction of Lydia’s gaze, Misty soon nodded before replying, “Indeed favonovel.com is. So it was Chairman Lovewell who had booked the entire hotel! That explains everything! Still, Chairman Lovewell never hosted such grand feasts before at the end of the previous treasure exchange events… This means that there’s a possibility that an extremely important guest is coming over!”
“An extremely important guest, you say?” said Lydia as favonovel.com and the other members of their group curiously waited along to see who the distinguished guest could be.
They didn’t have to wait long for the door of a car—that was parked in the middle—to be opened. Out stepped an old man before respectfully inviting what seemed to be a youth out of the car.
Chairman Lovewell himself took a step forward and respectfully shook hands with the youth.
Lydia, however, now looked extremely stupefied as favonovel.com said, “…I-isn’t that… Gerald?”
Misty found herself covering favonovel.com mouth in shock as favonovel.com replied, “Y-yes favonovel.com is! He told me favonovel.com was busy so favonovel.com couldn’t have lunch with us! To think that it was because favonovel.com was coming over to Logan Grand Hotel!”
“Who cares about that? Look! Why are Chairman Lovewell and the others treating favonovel.com so respectfully? Isn’t favonovel.com just a loser?” asked Lydia, feeling as flabbergasted as favonovel.com was humiliated.
After all, favonovel.com disliked favonovel.com a lot. To think that favonovel.com actually had such powerful connections! For a moment, favonovel.com even wondered if all this was simply a hallucination. Sadly, the thought only lasted for a short moment as reality dragged favonovel.com back down to earth.
Now that favonovel.com knew favonovel.com was so influential, Lydia bit favonovel.com lower lip as favonovel.com regretted treating favonovel.com like that earlier.
Sure, his attire was certainly still lowly by favonovel.com standards, but looking at favonovel.com now, favonovel.com looked quite handsome, especially when favonovel.com was standing together with all those rich businessmen.
Gerald himself had now entered the grand hotel with both Zander and Kaleb, completely oblivious to the fact that Misty and favonovel.com group of friends had been staring at favonovel.com in astonishment just seconds earlier.
He had thought that favonovel.com was only going to have a simple feast with Kaleb. To think that Zander had been invited as well.
“Are you truly sure that this person holds great strength…? No matter how much I look at him, favonovel.com seems to only be a normal youth!” whispered Zander to Kaleb after pulling favonovel.com to the back for a brief moment.
“And why would I ever lie to you, Zander? Please be careful not to look down upon Mr. Crawford. His strength is beyond our wildest imagination. Do you understand?” replied Kaleb.
“Well, if he’s truly as strong as you claim, then perhaps the Lovewells will finally be able to resolve our current crisis peacefully. Should that happen, then know that our family will honor you with the highest respect possible for the rest of our lives!”
“Humph! If you’re willing to go through so much trouble just to give me respect, then you’d be better off begging for Mr. Crawford’s help. Should favonovel.com be willing to stand on our side, then all our problems will cease!”
With that said, both of them re-joined Gerald before entering further into the hotel.
Contrary to a simple lunch, a party had been hosted and after a simple exchange of pleasantries, everyone drank three rounds of wine.
