After the woman with wavy hair finished speaking, she stared at Brad with an undeniable sternness in her eyes.
Seeing the determined look in her eyes, Brad was momentarily speechless. Brad was naturally clueless about these professional assessments. Moreover, thinking about how he had indeed smashed the waiter's phone and shoved her earlier, he felt somewhat guilty after all.
The onlookers at this point also started pointing fingers at Brad. Everyone had witnessed the entire process of today's conflict.
"Hmph, consider yourself lucky, kid!"
Seeing that the situation was no longer in his favor, Brad did not want to drag things out any further. He hadn't won the fight, and he couldn't win the argument either. A professional lawyer had already gotten involved; if he stayed here any longer, it would be purely asking for humiliation.
Brad stood up, angrily grabbed Jessica, and left the hotel.
Seeing that the other party had left, the woman with wavy hair let out a sigh of relief. In fact, she had only been bluffing just now; she was betting that someone like Brad wouldn't dare to take things seriously. She had greatly admired Marcus's act of playing the hero to save the damsel earlier, so in a moment of passion, she wanted to help this righteous young man.
"Thank you."
Marcus hurriedly expressed his sincere gratitude. That this stranger could stand up for him in such a situation made Marcus feel a touch of warmth.
"Ding, detected that the host is talking to a member of the opposite sex. Host's current heartbeat value is thirty points, meeting the binding conditions. Binding successful!"
"Damn, I was genuinely thanking her, this system... this is just too... sensible!"
Jokes aside, who wouldn't want a beautiful woman with wavy hair?
Marcus's mind automatically opened the personal information of the wavy-haired beauty.
Name: Daisy Miller
Age: 24
Favorability towards host: 30 points
Identity: Intern Lawyer
Height: 164cm
Weight: 50kg
Daisy Miller turned around, and only then did Marcus clearly see the appearance of the wavy-haired beauty in front of him. Fair skin, delicate features, paired with feminine wavy hair, made Daisy exude an energy from head to toe that could stimulate male hormones. The white shirt and black hip-hugging skirt, full of professional flair, also set one's imagination running wild.
"No need to thank me; I was just following your example and acting righteously."
Daisy gave a sweet smile, then turned and walked towards her own seat. As she turned to leave, her hair tips stirred up a strawberry-scented fragrance that drifted through the air and into Marcus's nostrils.
Opposite Daisy's seat was a man in a sharp suit; it looked like the two of them were here on a date. Marcus wouldn't make a fool of himself with someone who already had a partner.
"What a pity, it was just a fleeting encounter; there's no opportunity to farm cash back from her."
Watching Daisy walk away, Marcus couldn't help but feel regretful. As expected of a dense, straight man with no romantic experience, the thing Marcus regretted most at this moment was the missed opportunity for cash back.
"Marcus, are you okay!"
Sofia walked over and checked Marcus's injuries. Seeing a bruise on the corner of Marcus's mouth, she carefully touched it with her cool, smooth fingers, feeling heartbroken.
Marcus's righteous act caused Sofia's favorability to increase by another 5 points, reaching a high score of 60 points. If 50 points meant a heartbeat, then 60 points could already be considered having one foot across the threshold of liking someone.
Sofia hadn't expected that the boy she met by chance at the coffee shop today would not only be generous and approachable, but also full of justice, standing up without hesitation when he saw someone being bullied. And the key point was that he was also very handsome!
Thinking of this, the way Sofia looked at Marcus gradually became ambiguous. Who wouldn't want to be with a man who shines like this!
Seeing Sofia's concerned gaze, Marcus shook his head slightly, signaling that he was fine.
At this moment, a low reprimand came from behind Marcus.
"Look at you, you've only been working here for a few days, and you've already caused such a huge mess for me! This vase you broke is an art piece that our big boss specially bought from abroad; it's worth tens of thousands! Even if we deducted your salary for half a year, it wouldn't be enough to pay for it!"
Seeing that the situation had calmed down, the manager started to settle old scores and reprimanded Morgana.
Morgana had just turned eighteen and was new to society; naturally, she didn't know the evils of the human heart, let alone how to read the situation. She had only seen the female customer being slapped and, indignant at such malicious behavior, had warm-heartedly wanted to help.
"Manager... I..."
Hearing that the manager wanted to deduct her salary, Morgana became nervous. The benefits at Dunmore Hotel were quite good, and precisely because of that, many people were willing to come here to work as waiters. However, the selection requirements for Dunmore Hotel were quite strict; they only wanted young and beautiful ones. Morgana cherished this hard-won job opportunity and naturally didn't want to resign.
But... if she really didn't have a salary for half a year, how would she support herself...
Morgana clutched her little hands in grievance, standing helplessly on the spot.
"Pfft, and I thought this vase was so expensive. A mere few tens of thousands, I'll pay it for her."
Marcus's warm voice rang in Morgana's ears at this moment.
Marcus thought to himself that the earlier conflict stemmed from Jessica constantly looking at him, which made Brad jealous, so in the end, it did have something to do with him. Of course, more importantly, Morgana's favorability was already at 40 points; if he didn't seize the opportunity to farm cash back now, he would lose out big time.
The manager glanced at Marcus, then at Sofia beside him. To be able to come here to eat with such a beautiful companion, the young man in front of him was definitely no ordinary person. Having worked for many years, the manager had long since mastered the ability to judge people. And since someone was willing to be the sucker and pay, the manager was naturally happy, and rushed to meet Marcus with a fawning smile.
"Sir... this wouldn't be appropriate... after all, you are here to dine. Although your fighting in our store earlier had some impact on the dining experience of other guests, the money for this vase shouldn't be charged to you in any case!"
Looking at the manager's fawning smile, Marcus felt a wave of nausea. He clearly couldn't wait for him to swipe his card and pay right now, yet he was playing hard to get with his words. He hated this kind of behavior the most.
"Less nonsense, I said I'd pay, so I'll pay!"
Marcus domineeringly took out his bank card and decisively swiped to pay without the slightest hesitation.
"Ding, this expenditure for the cash-back target is 85,000 yuan, cash-back target favorability is 40 points. The cash-back multiplier for this time is being randomly generated... Generated, the cash-back multiplier this time is 32 times. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a cash back of 2.72 million yuan!"
With another two million plus in his account, looking at the money in his hands that seemed to increase the more he spent it, Marcus felt wonderful.
Seeing that the money had arrived, the manager happily took the card machine and left.
Just as Marcus and Sofia were about to sit back down to continue their meal, Morgana somewhat shyly tugged at the corner of Marcus's clothes.
"Sir... would... would it be convenient for me to add you on WeChat?"
