Omar held a tablet in his hands that ran on an independent system. It kept updated records of influential figures from all walks of life, exclusively for Sky Garden reservations.
Andrew's name appeared prominently in the top three, which left Omar shaken to his core.
Ophelia sensed something was wrong and frowned. "Mr. Henson, what is it?"
Omar wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly said, "I-It's nothing…"
Then, he glanced at Andrew and quickly added, "I apologize, Mr. Lloyd, for offending you earlier. Please wait, I'll invite our owner to come over right away."
Ophelia's jaw dropped. She could not believe what she was hearing.
Why would they need to bring out the owner himself? After all, the owner was one of Terror Town's top tycoons.
She exhaled sharply and convinced herself Omar was calling the owner for Elijah's sake. Thinking she had figured it out, she smugly raised her chin again.
Meanwhile, Chantelle's family looked uneasy. They all wondered why Omar would bring the owner out here.
Could it be to punish them somehow?
Sofia, who always avoided trouble, whispered, "Andy, maybe we should just leave."
Andrew looked surprised. "Leave? Why would we leave? Didn't he just say he's inviting the owner to welcome us?"
Ophelia sneered. "You think Mr. Glover is coming for you? Don't make me laugh. Even Mr. Knowles, our so-called Prince of Terror Town, doesn't get that kind of treatment. Who do you think you are?"
Andrew looked at her calmly. "There's one word to describe you: idiot."
Andrew urged, "Mr. Glover, I only came to have a meal. But your staff have been nothing but difficult. Since you're here, please arrange it quickly."
Maxwell made a respectful gesture. "Mr. Lloyd, the Sky Garden is yours alone tonight. Also, on behalf of my staff, I apologize for their ignorance and disrespect."
He shot a glare at Omar and Jasmine, who immediately rushed forward. They nearly dropped to their knees as they begged Andrew for forgiveness.
And so Andrew led Chantelle and her family straight to the very top to dine.
Ophelia, left behind downstairs, finally lost her cool. "Mr. Glover, what is the meaning of this? Mr. Knowles is on his way! If you give the Sky Garden to them, what about our Mr. Knowles?"
Maxwell, focused entirely on Andrew, waved her off. "Ms. Barclay, kindly tell Mr. Knowles that if he wishes to book the Sky Garden, he'll have to wait for another time."
