Chapter 78
Cece was the first to notice and instinctively tried to block Vicky's sight so she would not see Tyler with
another woman.
"Vicky, since they don't have a table for us here, let's just go somewhere else."
Just then, Maria spotted Vicky as Vicky naturally stood out from the crowd.
She glanced over and immediately realized what happened when she saw the way Vicky was cast
aside by the waiter.
Maria smirked viciously and raised her voice as she put on a confused expression, "Oh? Tyler, isn't
that...Vicky? Vicky, why are you here? Are you here to dine with your friend?’
It was a sophisticated restaurant, and though it was packed with customers, no one would raise their
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtvoices, so Maria's voice echoed distinctly inside the hall.
All eyes instantly focused on them.
Maria ignored them and walked toward Vicky.
Vicky already spotted Tyler before Cece could block her sight, and judging from the grin on Maria's
smile, it was as though she had not done anything to Vicky in the past.
She glanced at the waiter and said pretentiously, ’Is this how you run a restaurant? Don't you know
what 'first come, first serve' means? Since they're here first, you should give them a table. It's not
appropriate for you to skip them and serve someone who came out after them, right?"
The waiter did not expect them to know one another and explained awkwardly, "It's not like that. We
accept customers with reservations and members only. These two ladies aren't our members, and they
didn't make a reservation, so..."
"Only for customers with reservations and members, you say?’ Maria looked away. "But we don't have
a reservation. Does that mean we can't dine here as well?"
The waiter glanced at Tyler. "Mister Hart...doesn't need any reservation. We have a room specifically
reserved for Mister Hart at all times.’
High-class restaurants often knew members of the elite community like the back of their hand, and
restaurants that had a membership system installed would have their waiters memorize the names and
faces of powerful figures in the city. It was impossible for someone to not know someone as powerful
as Tyler.
While others might need a membership to enter certain venues, Tyler only needed to show his face to
gain access.
Maria glanced at Vicky pointedly. "Well...that's not really appropriate. Why don't you give them a table

The waiter frowned. "I don't mean to discriminate against these two ladies, but rules are rules. The
rules are set and implemented in all our branches across the globe, so..."
The manager's attention was caught as there were customers lining up outside the restaurant, so he
walked over. "What is happening?’
The waiter immediately explained the situation.
The manager glanced at Tyler, before turning to look at Vicky, paling when he saw her face. "Missus
Hart, are you here to dine with your friend?’
Vicky paused for a moment and nodded.
"This is Missus Hart, so she doesn't need a membership or a reservation to enter," said the manager
humbly before turning to Tyler. "Will Mister Hart and Missus Hart be dining together, or..." "Vicky, there’s
something I need to talk to Tyler about in private. You wouldn't mind, would you?"
