Chapter 166
Upon hearing this, the driver couldn't help but glance atagain. He remarked, "You're only in your first year of
college, yet you can give your girlfriend that much pocket money? With your designer clothes, you must be from
a wealthy family, right?"
Laura looked atin surprise. "Didn't you say that your family sells fruits at a stall?"
"Well... it's a long story," | replied.
Sensing my discomfort, Felicia immediately nudged her mother's arm. "Mom, you just got here. Can you stop
asking so many questions? Tonight, I'll be staying with you. We can chat then, and I'll explain everything. Don't
make things difficult for William."
"Oh, okay. | won't ask anymore."
As we chatted, the car soon cto a stop.
When we got out, | looked up and was immediately stunned. | instinctively glanced back at Felicia. She was

The hotel in front of us wasn't just any hotel. It was the one where Felicia had worked before and where | had

| never expected we would end up back here so soon.
"Let's go. It's fine," | reassured her, holding her hand as we entered the establishment together.
Inside, we found Louis and his group blocking the lobby, shouting, "Why can't we use the private room? There's
clearly space available! Why are you so rigid? What's the harm in letting us use it?
"Don't tellyou're worried that the dishes we order won't be expensive enough? I'm telling you, I'm not short
on money!"
The manager frowned, clearly
annoyed. "It's not that you can't use the room, but the rules are the rules. Our policy has always been that rooms
must be reserved in advance and can't be given out on the spot untess you're a VIP. You're neither VIPS nor have
you made a reservation, so you can't use it."
Louis was furious. "What do you mean by that? Are regular customers not good enough for you? Don't bully me
just because your restaurant is big! I've spent thousands here, and this is how you treat me? I'll never cback
here!"
Despite his threat, the manager remained unfazed. "Sorry, but all our rules must be followed strictly. We cannot
make exceptions."
"You!"
Louis was enraged, while Veronica was anxious. She stomped her feet. "Honey, let's just forget about it. Let's eat

Louis gritted his teeth but reluctantly nodded.

spoke to the manager. "People make rules, which should be adjusted based on the situation. If you're worried
about VIP customers wanting to use the room, that's unnecessary. It's already 12:30 pm. The chances of a VIP
coming are low."
As soon as the manager saw me, his eyes widened. "Yes... Yes..."
He seemed to have recognized me.
Last time, when the old manager slapped Felicia, Victor had him fired and hired this new one.
Upon recognizing me, he quickly said, "Of course. I'll make arrangements right away."
| wasn't concerned about Louis' group, but | couldn't let Laura, who had traveled far, suffer through a meal in
discomfort.
"Alright. No problem! I'll take care of it right away! He quickly grabbed his walkie-talkie. "Hello, urgent message.
A VIP guest is coming to dine. Prepare the best private room and do it quickly! Get Billie and Quinn to help. No,
get Clem to attend to them personally!"
