A Rose 498
Alice raised her chin and ridiculed, “Are you kidding me? I’m here with a VIP of Royal Crown Kitchen! They’d never throw me out-”
She hadn’t even completed her sentence when Rowan promptly nodded and agreed to Yvette’s order. He hastily waved several security guards over.
“Sure thing! Security! Hurry up and send her out!”
“Yes, Mr. Chapman.”
Several security guards swiftly surrounded Alice and told her impatiently, “Please come with us, miss.”
Alice was flabbergasted. She couldn’t believe that Yvette could have her thrown out just by her words alone. “What right have you got to throw me out?”
The commotion attracted the attention of the diners in the restaurant. Alice felt even more
ashamed with so many onlookers.
She hissed through gritted teeth, “Mr. Chapman, it’s her you should be throwing out! Isn’t it the rule of Royal Crown Kitchen that non–VIPs are not allowed to enter? Well, why are you letting her in and throwing us out? This isn’t right!
“I was under the impression that Royal Crown Kitchen goes according to its rules. Is this how you follow your own rules?”
Rowan looked at Alice, who was just short of going hysterical, like he was looking at an idiot. I’m sorry, but what our boss says goes. Besides, she doesn’t need to be a VIP to enter.”
What? Alice’s eyes widened in utter disbelief. Yvette, that bitch, was actually the boss of Royal Crown Kitchen? How was that possible? Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Alice’s previous words now bit back at her, humiliating her to no end.
Observing the look of annoyance in Yvette’s eyes Rowan ordered the security guards once more, “Hurry up! Why are you all idling? Get on it and throw her out!
When Alice heard that, she quickly took Victoria’s hand and begged, sounding like she was -close to tears, “Victoria, help me! I don’t want to be thrown out! It’d be so embarrassing!”
The Robertson family going bankrupt had already made her a laughingstock. If she were to be thrown out of Royal Crown Kitchen, she’d be utterly mortified!
Victoria looked at Alice before turning to look at Yvette. She started with difficulty, “Yvie, can you not have Alice thrown out for my sake?”
Yvette didn’t even look at her and answered frostily, “No.”
Jasper returned after parking the car and witnessed only the last part of the exchange. He didn’t know what had happened before he arrived, but he was sure Yvette had done nothing
wrong must have been someone else! wrong. The person in the
“Victoria, what a coincidence seeing you here!” Jasper acknowledged her politely before asking what had transpired. “What is it? Did something happen?”
“You’re here just in time, Jasper!” Victoria looked pale and pitiful. “Can you please talk to Yvie for me? Please stop making things difficult for Alice. What happened to her family is bad enough. Let’s not embarrass her further here.”
Jasper answered in a heartbeat, “Yvette isn’t an unreasonable person. Alice must have done something to anger Yvette. If that’s the case, then she deserves to be thrown out!”
Yvette felt an inexplicable warmth spread within her when she heard Jasper taking her side without any hesitation. “I’m going in,” she said softly.
“Wait for me, Yvette!” Jasper hurriedly went in after her, completely forgetting about Victoria.
Seeing how despondent Victoria appeared, Alice quickly said, “See, Victoria? Yvette not only has Mr. Wilson wrapped around her finger. Now, even Jasper listens to her! It’s only a matter of time before she takes your position in the Quinn family!”
