Chapter 209: Chapter 209

Cameron Grant was afraid Elias Sinclair might hurt Quinn Lockwood, so he firmly protected her behind him, solemnly saying, "I don’t care what the reason is, but I absolutely won’t let you hurt Savannah again."

"Move aside." Elias Sinclair’s tone suddenly turned icy, his eyes enveloped in a chilling layer of cold ice that sent shivers down the spine.

"Savannah, you go back first, Dad and Mom are still waiting inside." Cameron Grant slightly turned his head to look at Quinn Lockwood, his usually gentle and warm eyes now filled with seriousness.

Quinn Lockwood pursed her lips tightly, not wanting her brother to have an unpleasant confrontation with Elias Sinclair because of her, nor wanting her parents to worry if they found out.

She immediately grabbed Cameron Grant’s wrist and said, "Alright, alright, let’s go back together."

With almond-shaped eyes slightly glancing towards Elias Sinclair’s direction, Quinn Lockwood seemed about to say something but didn’t open her mouth, just knitting her brows slightly before turning away.

Elias Sinclair looked coldly at Quinn Lockwood and Dylan Quinn’s direction, his face extremely cold.

The man called Mr. Lowell, informing him he urgently needed to go back to handle some matters, suddenly tugged at his tie and with long strides, turned directly to leave.

Due to Elias Sinclair’s departure, Mr. Lowell and Mrs. Lowell couldn’t assist their little couple any further. After chatting and laughing about some family matters, Quinn Lockwood left early.

Because afterwards, there would be other corporate executives coming with their wives to celebrate Mrs. Lowell’s birthday and chat about some cooperation matters.

In the evening, Quinn Lockwood received a contract and shooting schedule from Anna for a brand-new experience reality show. This update ıs available on novelꞁire.net

The show’s format involved celebrities delving into the ordinary public life to experience various different jobs, and Quinn Lockwood’s task was to help at a restaurant mainly focusing on barbecue and seafood.

It’s late summer, the peak season for restaurant business; it’s hard enough for a female star of Quinn Lockwood’s status, let alone a newly debuted male star—other than being a decorative presence, they can barely help.

Actually, this time the agency proactively contacted the show team; for this type of celebrity experience show, ratings are usually quite average. No matter how well the invited guests perform, the audience wouldn’t truly think they are hardworking and diligent; instead, many feel it’s all staged or edited.

Nonetheless, there are quite a few celebrities frequently getting scolded on trending searches because of experience shows.

Since Quinn Lockwood hadn’t topped the trending list for a long time, the agency began orchestrating plans—though Quinn demonstrated strength and diligence in the previous survival show, thanks to other partners’ help.

But this time as a restaurant server, she wouldn’t have any partners or assistants; everything needed to be done by Quinn herself, and there wouldn’t even be a photographer—the filming relied entirely on cameras hidden in corners.

In other words, Quinn would be stripped of any halo and aid, simply as a restaurant worker.

Anyway, regardless of the show’s format, ratings would surely increase—after all in public’s eyes, Quinn Lockwood is seen as a delicate female star unaccustomed to labor; audiences would certainly look forward to her ’performance.’

On her first day reporting to the restaurant, the owner assigned Quinn Lockwood to handle ordering and dish delivery with an order-taking device.

Even though Quinn Lockwood could do chores and cook, she truly didn’t know how to use the ordering device, and all the other waitstaff were too busy to pay any attention to her.

"Waiter, order." At this point, a table of newly arrived customers waved at Quinn Lockwood.

Although internally flustered, Quinn Lockwood responded, quickly walking over.

She knew her way around a computer, so this small ordering device shouldn’t be a problem.

"10 skewers of lamb, 10 beef skewers, a plate of steamed bass, 5 crabs..." A slightly chubby middle-aged man flipped through the menu, ordering so fast that Quinn Lockwood couldn’t keep up.

Opening up the ordering device, Quinn Lockwood entered the order homepage, starting to search for the items one by one.

"Sorry sir, I couldn’t catch up. Could you please repeat?" Quinn Lockwood’s gaze was flustered as she looked at the mixed variety and names of dishes on the ordering device, making it difficult to find the exact items.

That man seemed somewhat impatient, but upon seeing Quinn Lockwood’s beautiful and elegant face, his eyes lit up, slowing down to repeat.

"Where’s the dish deliverer? There’s a pile here, why isn’t it being served?" A rather impatient urging came through the walkie-talkie from the kitchen; Quinn Lockwood grew anxious, her actions becoming more scrambled.

After finally completing the order, Quinn Lockwood darted to the kitchen, seeing the counter piled high with appetizers and skewers.

She tried her best to carry several plates but because she wasn’t familiar with the environment, couldn’t find the correct table numbers.

"Bean curd cold dish, table 5..." Quinn Lockwood softly read the dish name and table number on the labels attached to the plates.

But where was table 5?

Finally, after making several turns, Quinn Lockwood managed to find table 5 as she wished.

"Waiter, get me a pack of napkins." At this moment, a woman’s voice came from behind; Quinn Lockwood looked back at her position and nodded.

Yet she still had two plates and a handful of skewers in her hands, with a heap of dishes waiting for her.

Quinn Lockwood pursed her lips, planning to serve the dishes she had first before assisting Ms. Myers with the napkins.

"Hurry up, hurry up, when will my honey glaze wings be served? It’s been almost half an hour."

"Why so slow ordering?"

"Waiter, I just ordered six bottles of 1664, when will they arrive?"

Since Quinn Lockwood wasn’t familiar with the layout and lacked experience, coupled with no one helping her, she kept busy but muddling through and getting several things wrong.

Some customers had waited a long time, starting to impatiently urge.

The boss saw so many customers starting to clamor and was somewhat displeased inside.

These big stars clearly are useless, can’t even handle such simple tasks.

"Lowell, come over here." The boss asked a waiter at the store to temporarily take over Quinn Lockwood’s duties and then led her aside.

"You can’t continue , we implement customer satisfaction rating here. If you’re not qualified, I will dismiss you." The boss, a woman in her 40s, known as Lynn, had a face suggesting she was a sharp and critical middle-aged woman.
