Overprotected By My Tsundere CEO-Chapter 645 - 393: Nora Scott: Good Looks, Free Meal [Part 2]
Glenn Flynn didn’t chat with the two people for long before they left.
When Nora Scott and her group of four arrived, the two were long gone.
"Mr. Flynn, do you know my sister?"
As soon as Oliver Scott approached, he asked Glenn Flynn in confusion.
"Huh?"
Glenn Flynn was stunned, not reacting immediately, and instinctively looked at Nora Scott.
Blinking, Oliver Scott reminded, "The one you were just chatting with."
Glenn Flynn was surprised, "That’s your sister?"
"Yeah."
"I really apologize for not properly greeting her," Glenn Flynn chuckled and explained, "The person with her is a friend of mine. We just ran into each other and chatted a bit."
"...Oh." Oliver Scott suddenly realized, and after a moment of hesitation, couldn’t help but ask, "Is that her boyfriend?"
"Yeah. You didn’t know?"
"...Yeah."
Oliver Scott nodded slightly.
After that argument with Sophie Scott, she rarely came home. Oliver Scott was busy with the Mecha competition, spending most weekends at Cloudwater Haven, rarely running into Sophie Scott.
Even if they weren’t at home, they would usually contact each other on WeChat, but now that’s even rare. When Oliver tried to chat with Sophie, she would always excuse herself after a few words.
And now, about Sophie having a boyfriend... he was completely in the dark.
Oliver Scott lowered his eyes, the light in his eyes dimmed a bit, and he didn’t speak further.
...
The group walked into Virtue Retreat.
To dine in a private room at Virtue Retreat, a reservation is needed in advance.
However, Nora Scott had already informed Manager Woods on the way, and the third-floor private room was ready. As soon as they entered, Manager Woods personally greeted them.
Having previously met Ethan Scott and others, Glenn Flynn understood the situation at Virtue Retreat. Seeing this grand reception now, he was quite surprised.
Afterward, his gaze towards Nora Scott held a slightly deeper significance.
Virtue Retreat, private room, third floor.
Plus, the manager personally greeted her, addressing her as "Miss Scott" respectfully.
After entering the room, Nora Scott asked Glenn Flynn and the students to come inside, standing at the door herself.
"Miss Scott, the boss is here today at Virtue Retreat working on new dishes and will come by to say hello later," Manager Woods said respectfully.
Because of Benjamin Durant’s eccentric habit of maintaining "mystery," only employees at the manager level and above know him. To other employees, Benjamin Durant may just be a specially approved chef who can freely enter the kitchen.
Especially outside of Anchel.
—Benjamin Durant only handles the cuisine, while professionals from the Durant Family handle business operations, so he doesn’t need to worry. Outside of Anchel, he only visits when he whimsically arrives in the city.
Therefore, managers are actually quite nervous when they genuinely meet Benjamin Durant.
They handle their work with extra caution.
Nora Scott pondered briefly and asked, "Is Jennings here?" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
"Ah, yes."
Manager Woods nodded quickly.
"Oh." Nora Scott responded, "Then let him handle it."
With Humphrey Jennings helping to keep Benjamin Durant in check, Benjamin won’t act out.
Someone inside called for Nora Scott. She responded, asked Manager Woods to attend to his duties, and then entered the private room.
Recently, the restaurant had fully upgraded, eliminating the need for paper menus, as ordering could be done online, making it convenient and quick. However, when the students saw the prices, they were stunned and hesitant to order, so it fell to the two adults present—Glenn Flynn and Nora Scott.
Upon entering the room and seeing the expressions of several young men, Nora Scott understood and chuckled lightly, sitting casually next to Marcus Shaw, saying, "Order whatever you want, this meal’s on the house."
"Huh?"
"Why?"
...
The young men were shocked.
Nora Scott’s lips curled up, her voice calm and lazy, "Good looks get a free meal."
"..."
Everyone was completely stumped by Nora Scott’s audacious reason.
No matter how absurd the reason, seeing the way the manager treated Nora Scott with respect, it seemed somewhat credible, so the young men gradually gained the confidence to each order a dish.
After one round, they ordered seven or eight dishes, politely saying it should be enough.
Nora Scott smiled, glanced at the menu, added more dishes, and submitted the order before anyone could react.
At Virtue Retreat, the primary focus is on taste, followed by style, and then service. However, they certainly don’t prioritize "quantity."
After spending half a year with Marcus Shaw and Oliver Scott, Nora Scott knew their appetites. In the phase of physical growth, they could eat five meals a day if starved, often catching Oliver sneaking after Marcus at night, pleading for food, even pushing Marcus towards the kitchen just for a cup of instant noodles.
The portion of seven or eight dishes wasn’t enough, so Nora Scott blindly ordered a large amount.
Oh.
She also privately instructed Manager Woods to bring out a portion of the secret recipe roast duck, which was still in the testing phase.
While waiting for the food, Oliver Scott, sitting with legs crossed, played with a pair of chopsticks in his left hand, leaning slightly towards Marcus Shaw, and softly asked, "Is the reason my sister gave reliable?"
"Not reliable," Marcus Shaw raised an eyebrow, accustomed to such things, saying, "Of all the questions she doesn’t want to answer, ’good looks’ is the most common excuse."
Pausing with his fingers, two chopsticks stopped between them, and Oliver Scott showed a "figured as much" expression.
Then he asked, "So why does this place comp her meal?"
"I don’t know."
Marcus Shaw answered honestly and bluntly.
This question puzzled Oliver Scott and Marcus Shaw for over ten minutes until—
The roast duck was served.
Manager Woods mentioned that the chef would personally come to the private room to carve the roast duck for them.
Then, Marcus Shaw and Oliver Scott met—Benjamin Durant and Humphrey Jennings.
"..."
The two stared blankly at each other.
Alright, they found the reason.
