The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 542

Chapter 542

The lady owner became a little defensive. “That waiter should be in the staff dorm right now. He asked for a half-day leave ’cause he wasn’t feeling too well. Why are you looking for him. anyway?”

“I have some questions I want to ask him about what happened in Bamboo Forest today,” Corinne replied.

“But I’ve already asked him what happened in Bamboo Forest. He said he had nothing to do with the kid getting burned. Forgive me for saying this, but you all shouldn’t involve my staff in whatever grievances you have with each other. He’s just a young kid who has no choice but to come out and work to support his family.”

Corinne nodded and smiled to show she empathized with the lady owner’s concern. “Don’t worry. I just want to ask him some questions. I promise I won’t make his life any more difficult than it already is.”

On one hand, the lady owner wanted to protect her staff, and on the other, she did not want to offend her customers so after thinking it through, she called out to one of the waiters who was cleaning up a table and said, “Go to the staff dorm and tell Oliver to come to see me.”

Very soon after, Oliver came walking into the restaurant with his head drooping.

“Ma’am, you’ve asked to see me?”

“The customers who dined in Bamboo Forest this afternoon want to ask you some questions. but there’s no need to worry ’cause you only need to tell them what you’ve told me,” said the

lady owner.

If her conjecture was true, it would mean Anya told Oliver beforehand what he should. say to the others and it would also mean, Oliver did not accidentally tripped and caused the bowl of soup to fall onto Joey but he did it intentionally and under Anya’s order!

‘It was not an accident at all. Anya planned this all along just so she could make me look bad. What kind of mother would do this to her child? She’s a monster!’ thought Corinne. She was shocked at the discovery and also shocked at what a person would be willing to do to achieve.

“Corinne, the witness already came out with the truth so what do you have to say for yourself? asked Lucas angrily. His patience was at its limits and he wished for nothing more than to lock Corinne up in jail and throw away the key.

“Corinne, why don’t you just come clean already? If you do, I promise I’ll ask my brother to go. easy on you,” said Anya tearfully.
