AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

The day after Sebastian’s birthday was a public holiday.

Roxane slept. No matter how snowy it was outside, she wasn’t interested. All she wanted to do was sleep.

The snow continued to fall for a few days, turning M City into a snow city.

Roxane also finally welcomed her winter vacation.

At noon, she invited some of her friends to eat at the newly opened barbecue restaurant near the university. When they arrived, there was a queue at the restaurant. However, she had special privileges so she didn’t have to wait in line.

Just when Roxane was about to lead her classmates into the restaurant, she was suddenly stopped by someone.

The other party pointed at Roxane and the waiter, saying rudely:

– Why are they allowed in without queuing? Why are they treated differently? Is it just because they have more people and will spend more so they don’t have to wait?

Hearing these words, the others in line naturally became indignant as well. After all, some of them had waited over an hour.

Roxane pointed at herself.

-Are you talking about me?

– It’s true, declared the other party in an unyielding tone,

– Everyone, come quickly and see this person who jumped the line!

People were impetuous. Many only believed in what they saw and passed judgment. They thought Roxane had jumped the line and the barbecue restaurant was giving her special treatment.

– I think you misunderstood. I didn’t skip the…

She started to say.

The other party didn’t let him finish speaking.

-So, did you take a number?

Roxane shook her head.

– Are you a restaurant VIP?

Roxane shook her head again.

-So how dare you say you didn’t jump the line? the other party said violently.

The others in line began to whisper among themselves. Some of them even took out their phones to film the scene, intending to post the videos on the Internet to condemn it.

Meanwhile, seeing that the situation was getting out of control, the waiter had already invited the manager out.

The manager intervened very quickly. When he saw the noisy and chaotic scene, he didn’t say anything. Instead, he walked towards Roxane and shouted respectfully:

– Mrs. Flores.

The originally noisy place suddenly fell silent when they heard the way the headmaster addressed Roxane.

Afterward, the manager looked at the people waiting in line and said in a manner that was neither servile nor authoritative:

– Dear customers, this lady did not skip the line.

-So why is she allowed in first?

– Exactly! Don’t tell me she’s your boss’s daughter?

Many people expressed their doubts.

The director replied calmly:

– She is not a VIP client nor the boss’s daughter. She’s our investor’s wife.

Everyone: …

The expression of the woman who had criticized Roxane changed slightly. Then she looked viciously at Roxane and said:

– Even if she is the investor’s wife, she shouldn’t jump the line!

– That’s right! That’s right! What if it was the investor’s wife?

– Indeed, our investor has set up a VIP room in all our agencies. The room is reserved for the use of Ms. Flores, and it is not open to the public.

In other words, the investor had reserved the room for his wife so no one had the right to complain.

Everyone fell silent, thinking that the investor was quite arrogant.

-Who is so rich and so powerful? someone finally asked.

At this time, someone with a sharp eye suddenly exclaimed:This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

– Eh? Isn’t she Roxane Alvarez from M City University’s art department?

_ You’re right. Didn’t she have a scandal with President Flores?

– President Flores? What?

– How many people in M City have the last name Flores? It’s obviously that of the Flores Group!

– Earlier, the director called her Madame Flores. Doesn’t that mean she’s…

Everyone was silent again, especially these young people. After all, young people wanted to join the Flores Group and their subsidiaries. Who would intentionally offend the boss before even joining the company?

Meanwhile, the woman, who had criticized Roxane, stared at her with a complicated and disdainful look. His expression was dark and unsightly.

Roxane was not angered by the accusations. She said in a clear and gentle voice:

-Everyone has been waiting a long time. It’s easy to get impatient when you’re hungry. Have someone serve everyone juice. I will pay the bill.

The director smiled and said:

– I’ll ask someone to arrange it. Don’t worry, Mrs. Flores. Hurry up and bring your classmates.

-If the president finds out that I didn’t take good care of his wife, he will definitely fire me! Assistant Black also stressed the importance of taking care of Ms. Flores!’

Roxane told her classmates to enter the restaurant first. Then, she turned to the woman who had been making a fuss earlier and asked curiously:

-Have we met before?
