10:00 AM.

Connor arrived at New Century Restaurant at last.

It was not lunchtime yet, but the entrance of New Century Restaurant was already fully parked by luxury cars. Those coming here were mostly fashionably dressed young people. Connor was wearing new clothes today, but he still looked a bit out of place compared to those people frequenting the restaurant.

Connor went straight in as he came in front of the entrance. The security guard at the entrance was stunned for a second when he saw how Connor was dressed. He held up his hand to stop Connor with a frown. “Are you here to apply for a job? You should go in through the back door.”

“I’m not here to apply for a job. I’m here for lunch.” Connor glanced up at the security guard and replied expressionlessly.

“You are here for lunch?”

The security guard looked doubtful and said nothing when he heard what Connor said. He just let Connor in.

Most of the people who came to New Century Restaurant were rich kids, and there was no shortage of ordinary people, who were mostly friends of the rich kids. So, the security guard did not give it a second thought.

Connor was shocked to see the decoration inside the New Century Restaurant as he stepped in. The lobby was paved with milky white Italian marble, and the brilliant light of the crystal lighting reflecting off the pale gold wallpaper on the wall looked splendid.

There was also a bronze chandelier hanging from the ceiling. It looked luxurious and elegant. All doorpost frames and interior utensils were handmade. Connor felt that he had walked into a scene in the movie with all the wallpaper, chandeliers, high ceilings, and luxurious tableware. It felt so royal.

If Thomas had not made a reservation at this restaurant, Connor would have never come to a place like this in his life. This was the world of the rich, a paradise that the poor could never step into in their lifetime.

In the eyes of ordinary people, a place like Brasserie Le Bernardin was unattainable enough. But, Brasserie Le Bernardin looked like a little brother compared to the New Century Restaurant.

Connor pulled out his phone and wanted to call Thomas to ask where his reserved dining room was. But as soon as he took out his phone, he felt his stomach ache. So, he turned around and went into the toilet.

Even the toilet was spotless, beautiful, and cozy.

…

Meanwhile, in the private dining room.

The girl took out her mobile phone and glanced at the screen. It was ten. She could not help furrowing her brows. “What kind of person is your fiancé? Aren’t we supposed to meet at nine? It is already ten, and he hasn’t yet arrived.”

The girl in a business suit frowned but said nothing. Being late on the first date really disgusted her.

“You absolutely must not marry someone who comes late for a date like this.”

Countless rich kids in Porthampton are lining up to invite you to a meal, yet they never get a chance. But this guy has yet to show up.” The girl complained indignantly.

“Maybe something caused the delay,” the girl in a business suit whispered back.

“What could be more important than dating you?” The girl said, and her eyes widened as she stood up. “I’m going to the ladies’ room. When the jerk arrives, I will teach him a lesson.”

“Okay,” the girl in a business suit replied faintly.

The pretty girl swung her hips as she walked out of the private dining room in her high heels. 

Just as she came in front of the ladies’ room and was about to enter, she saw a familiar guy standing in front of the sink outside. The pretty girl was stunned for a moment, then she stopped and carefully looked at him, who was washing hands in front of the sink.

“This guy looks so familiar,” the pretty girl mumbled to herself.

Just then, Connor had finished washing his hand. He turned around as he shook the water off his hands. He did not expect that someone was standing behind him, and the water was sprinkled directly on the girl’s face.

“Aaaah!” the girl instinctively screamed while taking two steps back and glared at Connor. “Are you sick or something? Can’t you see—” She froze in place before she could finish her sentence.

“What a coincidence.” Connor looked at the pretty girl in front of him and smiled awkwardly. The pretty girl standing in front of Connor was none other than the girl who he had run into at Porthampton University yesterday.

“It is you, satyr!” The pretty girl shouted with anger and embarrassment.

“How did I become a satyr?” Connor looked helpless when he heard what the girl said.

“What are you if you are not a satyr?” The pretty girl sneered with her hands folded.

The pretty girl had been thinking about how to get her revenge on Connor after leaving Porthampton University yesterday. Her body had never been touched by any man, let alone her breasts. After learning that Connor was a poor food delivery guy, she felt even more disgusted with him. Just that there were friends around her at Porthampton University at the time, and she was afraid to tell them that Connor had molested her. But, it was different now as no one here knew her. So, she calculated in her mind how to retaliate against Connor.

“I don’t have time for you now. You may say whatever you like, but I am not a satyr.” He turned around and was about to leave. It was almost 10:00 AM now, and he was in a hurry to meet his fiancée. Connor had tacitly acknowledged that his fiancée was ugly, but he still held onto some hope and fantasy.

“Stop!” The pretty girl saw that Connor was leaving and quickly stopped him.

“What do you want?” Connor turned his head and looked at the pretty girl helplessly.

“You just threw water in my face, and you’re going to leave just like that?” A fleeting sense of cunningness flashed in her eyes.

“What do you want, then?” Connor asked with a frown.

“What do I want?” The pretty girl could not help but laugh, stepping forward and looking at Connor carefully, “Kneel and apologize to me. Otherwise, I will tell the restaurant manager that you tried to rape me, and he will fire you.”

“You’re going to ask the restaurant manager to fire me?” Connor looked at the girl in front of him and did not know what to say.

The pretty girl had heard Hugh talk about Connor at Porthampton University before. She knew very well that Connor was nothing more than a poor incel. How could he afford to dine in the New Century Restaurant when he was just a food delivery guy? The only explanation for him being here was that he was working part-time there. That was why she threatened Connor in retaliation for touching her breasts..
