Chapter 170: The Beaten Waiter
Yusuf Zuck and Mia sat in a corner under the banquet, Yusuf holding a glass of red wine, savoring each sip, while Mia drank fruit juice. She never drank alcohol in public, no matter who urged her.
Right after the two of them got seated, two young men who had exchanged a sign with Leilani May came over.
"Lara, when did you get here?" The two young men actually knew Mia.
Lara just rolled her eyes and showed no intention of standing up to introduce them, simply saying, "I have a friend with me today, and we’re discussing some matters. Let’s catch up another day, thanks." She was politely showing them out, not wanting to talk to these two.
"Hehe, Lara, you’ve got it wrong. We don’t mean anything by it, we just wanted to get to know your friend here. You know us, we’re starting up a business, and having more friends means more paths, right?"
"Sorry, I’m his bodyguard." Yusuf chuckled.
"Okay then, Lara, you guys chat." The two young men walked away disappointed and disheartened.
"Annoying. If anyone else comes over later, just help me block them," Mia complained. "Whenever I’m at places like this, every Tom, Dick, and Harry comes over trying to get close. Can’t they see I can tell what they’re really thinking?"
"Maybe they’re just indulging you. You are the beloved daughter, a princess, the future heiress of the Tuff family. Getting to know you could be useful for their future, right? Even if they can’t win your heart, becoming your friend would be a big boost for them!"
"Yo, you sure know quite a bit, huh? So what about you? What do you want from getting close to me, also hoping to win my heart?"
