Chapter 31 - [Bonus ]He Hired The Drama Queen (1/2)

”What?”

The news sounded like a bomb had been dropped on Marcel. He hardly got excited and now his excitement was squashed into nothing.

He looked towards his dog that seemed disappointed by the news as well because his face fell. Redhead must be the most intelligent dog out there, he could even sense the owner's emotion?

Then Marcel announced to the manager, ”Have a seat,”

”Me?” The manager was stunned, he hadn't been expecting that request from him especially after he chased him away not less than a minute ago.

”Do you see any other manager that I'm speaking to at the moment?” He sassed at him.

Without further ado, the Manager occupied the seat. This was his chance to get this man on his side. Imagine if this man sponsored their café, it would reap him huge benefits. He could improve and expand and become a brand name - he could already see himself swimming in money.

”So why did she quit?” Marcel asked him.

He was stunned, this was not the conversation he was expecting. He thought Marcel was about to talk business.

So his face distorted as he answered, ”Her? I don't know?”

”What do you mean you don't know, you're her employer!” Marcel growled at him, irritated at his nonchalance.

I'm not her keeper, the manager wanted to say yet kept shut. He had to be obedient if he wanted a favor from this man. Moreover, why was he so interested in Arianna... Could it be he ..... his eyes widened at once.

This was not the first time he got men interested in Arianna because she's as beautiful as hell. Damn, if it wasn't the fact she was his employee, he would have gone after her as well.

So he answered, ”The thing is that it was her relative who called to announce that she won't be working anymore. She hasn't come to work ever since,” The Manager explained and upon seeing the serious expression on Marcel's face, added, ”Perhaps, her best friend Mimi would be able to give you more details,”

”She has a best friend?” Marcel said, bringing the coffee to his lips.

”Yes, she works here with...What's the problem?” The Manger was quick to notice the way Marcel's face changed after he took the coffee.

”It tastes different,” Marcel complained, ”To be precise, it's sweeter. Who made it?” His tone was cold and rigid.

”That should be Mimi,” the manager threw her under the bus without hesitation.

Marcel chuckled, ”She does know how to make friends,” He hinted at the fact Arianna's friends was as troublesome as she was.

In no time, Mimi was brought before Marcel and she was struck dumb by his beauty as usual.

”Are you Mimi?”

”Huh?” Mimi was roused to the presence by his question, ”Y-yes, it's me,”

Marcel stared her right in the face, Mimi gulped, his eyes were so beautiful. She had to clench her clothes by her side to keep her from doing something stupid.

”Why did you add sugar to my drink or don't you respect your customer's choice?”

At once, Mimi's eyes widened, how did he know? It was barely a half drop of a cube of sugar that she added into his coffee yet he detected it. Yeah, she was right, this man must be an alien.
