[Chapter 66]

Manager Hood smiled with embarrassment and was left speechless. He had paid such a high price to personally give Alex those two bottles of Louis XIV, but he hadn't expected that Darren Rogers would think the bottles had been brought specifically for him. However, there was nothing he could do, as it wouldn't be appropriate for him to argue with Darren over the bottles in front of Alex.

Looking at the smiling Darren, Manager Hood became suspicious. What was the relationship between this young man and Alex? he thought.

Darren was definitely Alex's subordinate. The manager's level was not high enough for Alex to address him in person, so he was only fit to talk to his subordinate.

Thinking of this, Manager Hood's respect for Alex deepened.

"It's my honor to have everyone come to my restaurant. Let me propose a toast to you all." Manager Hood told the waiter to open a bottle of Louis XIV and pour some wine for everyone at the table.

He raised his glass to everyone.

"A drink with Manager Hood! I'll remember his good intentions with all my heart," Darren said with a smile and then took a drink from his wine glass.

"Thank you," Manager Hood said and continued to clink his glass with each of the others.

What the hell do you think a subordinate of Alex is worth? What I need is for Alex to remember me, the manager thought.

Manager Hood appeared polite on the surface while he toasted with Donna and her aunts. He had no interest in them.

But when he toasted with Alex's girlfriend Debbie and her mother Carla, his smile was sincere.

When it was finally Alex's turn to be toasted, Manager Hood bowed even lower. His smile became even more brilliant as he was flattered and honoured by Alex's company.

It was such a big advantage for Alex to follow me. If I wasn't here, Manager Hood would not treat him like this, Darren thought as he sneered to himself.

Manager Hood's attitude also surprised Lisa and the others.

That boy, Alex, is something else. Not only did Darren agree to eat with him, but Manager Hood is treating him with such courtesy, Lisa thought.

She felt that the manager was making too much of a sacrifice. But she realized that, since Alex was a guest of Darren's, he couldn't possibly ignore the poor loser.

That also proved how much power Darren had.

When it was Lisa's turn for a toast, the manager walked up to her. Lisa noticed that he was very handsome and had delicate skin, which was exactly what she was attracted to.

She had been too distracted to pay attention to his appearance when they had been talking in the hall.

Lisa came up with an idea. Manager Hood was very respectful to that loser. As she was Darren's girlfriend's mother, and Darren had a much higher social position than Alex, she could take a risk with the manager. Even if she did something that displeased him, he wouldn't dare say anything.

"Hello, Manager Hood. I'm Donna's mother," Lisa said in a sultry voice as she stared at him and gently touched his hand. His hand felt tender to her.

Eh—you're so old, and you're taking advantage of me! he thought.

Manager Hood's face revealed a trace of astonishment as he looked awkwardly at Lisa, feeling that this middle-aged woman was too disgusting for him.

However, he didn't dare show his feelings in front of Alex. Lisa shamelessly continued to try to touch him, but the manager wanted to slap her away.
