Chapter 211: Chapter 211
At this moment, he was wearing a dark blue high-end suit, the warm white light shining on him, making his already handsome face exquisitely more beautiful, with deep and narrow eyes carrying an authoritative sharpness.
The customers present were mostly ordinary working-class people, who had never seen such an imposing presence before, only feeling that this man was like a king, radiating a dignity as if he was looking down on the heavens, while they were just subjects meant to bow at his feet.
Behind Elias Sinclair followed two people in black suits who appeared like assistants, and between the two assistants was the loli girl who had just slapped Quinn Lockwood.
"Bring up the surveillance footage." Elias Sinclair slowly stepped over to Lynn sitting in front of the computer desk, speaking with a cold tone.
Lynn had never seen such a scene before, and as soon as she met Elias’s eyes, she shivered, daring only to look at the suit of the man in front of her, not even daring to lift her eyelids.
Quivering, she brought up the surveillance footage, still feeling anxious in her heart; if she weren’t seated in the chair, she might have already collapsed to the ground due to weak knees.
It wasn’t that Lynn didn’t want to stand up, it was that she really couldn’t.
"Turn the screen over." Elias Sinclair knocked on the desk, commanding coldly, then turned to look at the two assistants, who instantly understood his intention, bringing the loli girl and the man to the computer.
The surveillance video clearly showed that after the loli girl went to the bathroom, the man gave Quinn Lockwood a scorching look and harassed her.
The loli girl hung her head low, tightly twisting the corner of her shirt with her hands.
"Apologize." The man’s lowered eyes, his voice chilling enough to make one shudder.
"I... I’m sorry." The girl was so scared that she jumped, her hands not daring to move, while the man’s face turned pale, involuntarily taking a step back.
Elias’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, his gaze on the two filled with displeasure, speaking in a deep voice: "What? Do you need me to demonstrate for you?"
"I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have misunderstood the lady, shouldn’t have hit her, please forgive me." The loli girl was almost about to cry, repeatedly bowing to Quinn and Elias in apology.
Quinn had been inexplicably slapped just now, her face still burning, but since the girl had apologized, there was no need to dwell on it, so she shook her head to indicate it was alright.
The man also imitated his girlfriend by continuously bowing in apology, attracting continuous discussion and disdain from other customers.
Seeing he had thoroughly lost face, the man hung his head so low it was almost touching the ground, realizing neither Elias nor Quinn were pursuing the matter further, he fastened the hat on his coat and hurriedly left.
The rest of the customers saw that Elias seemed to have unresolved matters here, and were too afraid to stay due to his oppressive and chilly aura.
As if staying another second would suffocate them under his formidable presence.
"Uh... thank you." Quinn lightly bit her lip, feeling a bit embarrassed as she looked at Elias.
After all, she had just argued with him the night before.
But this man... was truly like her guardian, always appearing to help her when she was in danger or aggrieved. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ noveⅼfire.net
She owed him too much by now, it seemed like she really couldn’t repay it.
Seeing her timid and slightly bashful appearance, Elias’s lips unconsciously curved slightly upward, then motioned for the two assistants to wait outside.
With long strides, the man sat in the chair at the table next to Quinn’s, his fingers gently tapping the table to signal her to place the menu in front of him.
"I never accept verbal gratitude." Raising an eyebrow slightly, Elias leisurely watched Quinn, his expression less stern and indifferent than before.
Quinn’s initially touched feelings had all but disappeared now, if it weren’t for the pervasive surveillance cameras, she would have loved to roll her eyes at Elias.
Positioning the menu in front of the man, Quinn assumed a warm and courteous demeanor, slightly bowing as she spoke: "Pan-seared cod, tomato pasta, charcoal-grilled lamb chop, these are the restaurant’s specialties; I wonder what sir would like to eat."
Quinn briefly lifted her eyelids, the corners of her mouth curved upwards with a sly grin.
Having spent so much time with Elias, Quinn knew his tastes very well; the items she just recommended were the ones Elias was least interested in.
"Oh?" The man’s phoenix eyes gleamed momentarily, his graceful fair fingers gently sliding across the menu’s text, then suddenly snapping the menu shut with a crack.
"There’s nothing I want to eat." The man rubbed his chin, looking at Quinn with amusement, then beckoned her with a finger.
Quinn pouted, but nonetheless leaned over.
"I want to eat... you." Elias softly whispered next to Quinn’s ear, gently exhaling.
The warm breath released by the man at her ear made Quinn’s body tremble, her skin tingling as all her hair stood on end, while such ambiguous and bold teasing words made Quinn’s face blush with embarrassment.
The man then stood up, observing the woman before him whose face was flushed crimson, her head slightly bowed, white teeth biting her upper lip tightly, her almond eyes concealed with a faint mist, exuding a surprisingly alluring charm.
"Sir, I’ll get you a cup of tea." Quinn’s eyelids trembled slightly, too embarrassed to meet Elias’s gaze, she hurried to the kitchen in an uneasy hurry.
Taking a deep breath, Quinn composed her emotions before bringing out a pot of lemon tea.
Actually, she just grabbed a pot at random, guessing that someone as picky as Elias wouldn’t deign to drink simple brewed tea from such a modest restaurant.
Placing the tea in front of Elias, Quinn filled the cup to the brim.
Watching the white mist slowly rise from the teacup, the man gently twirled the cup, then took a light sip.
Upon tasting the sourness without any tea aroma in the lemon tea, the man’s throat involuntarily tightened, then he set the cup down.
Quinn never expected him to drink the tea, and her eyes widened in shock.
"This tea is nice, you should try it." Elias lifted the cup, positioning the spot he just drank from directly towards Quinn.
"Uh?" Quinn tilted her head, puzzled.
What was the big boss up to now? If it weren’t for being on camera, Quinn would have been unable to resist retorting him.
Just as she reached out to take the cup, the man pulled his hand back, then stood up to personally hold the cup to her lips.
