Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 409 It Takes the One Who Tied the Bell to Untie It

Sadie panicked. Her mask hadn't been removed; how could Waters recognize her?

"Do you know him?" Serena whispered.

"No," Sadie feigned ignorance and tried to pull Serena away.

"After all, I just helped you out. That's pretty ungrateful," Waters said in a tone tinged with disappointment.

"Sadie, if it hadn't been for him, we would've been in serious trouble," Serena was still somewhat grateful to Waters, who had been quite generous and respectful when ordering earlier. Sadie gently pushed Serena. "Serena, go replace Jonny,"

"Okay." Serena turned to Waters, said "Thank you," and left quickly.

"Chat for a bit?" Waters made a gracious gesture, inviting Sadie to speak privately.

Sadie followed him to a secluded booth, but she stood at the entrance on high alert. "What do you want to talk about?"

"About what happened last time, I want to clear things up," Waters began earnestly. "I didn't mean to spill the drink on you. Someone tripped me under the table."

"I figured as much. Amelia, right?" Sadie said with a cold chuckle. "Everyone knows what she did. They just didn't call her out on it."

"The truth is, it's both of you locking horns, and I got caught in the crossfire completely innocent," Waters explained with a helpless look. "Even though I'm quite fond of you, I've never been disrespectful, have I? Mr. Clemens knew it was Amelia's mischief, yet he kicked me off the project. Amelia even used it as an excuse to fire me. After all my years at the Luminex's Group, to end up like this-do you think that's fair?"

"It's definitely not fair!" Sadie said sincerely. "Although I was a victim too, the situation started because of me, and I owe you an apology. I hope you replace a better opportunity in the future!"

"You're so understanding. No wonder Mr. Clemens has taken a liking to you," Waters praised her with admiration, then sighed with regret. "Leaving the Luminex Group was a massive loss for me. Now that the word is out that I've crossed Mr. Clemens, nobody dares to hire me. I've encountered so much trouble trying to start my own business-"

"Sorry, there's nothing I can do to help," Sadie cut him off, eager to leave. "I have to get back to work."

"What's the rush?" Waters smiled slyly. "I'm not done talking."

"Is there anything else?" Sadie asked, feeling a twinge of unease.

"The one who tied the bell must untie it," Waters said, locking eyes with her intently. "You started this mess; you're the one who can help fix it."

"You're giving me too much credit," Sadie responded with a wry smile.

"You can do it," Waters said confidently. Just put in a good word for me with Mr. Clemens. Have him speak to Amelia, and I can get back to the Luminex Group."

"Sorry, I don't have that kind of influence," Sadie said helplessly. "I'm working here as a waitress now. Do you think I carry any weight with Micah anymore?" "You do," Waters insisted firmly. "The fact that you still dare to use his first name tells me your relationship with him is quite special."

"You're reading too much into it," Sadie said, somewhat exasperated. "Since when does using someone's first name mean anything out of the ordinary?"

"I've seen it all before. Many from the upper echelons of society choose partners who match their social status for marriage yet harbor love for another on the side," Waters said with a smile. I can tell Mr. Clemens has special feelings for you. Right now, he's just keeping his distance, but one day, he'll come looking for you!"

"Maybe," Sadie replied politely. "Best of luck to you, goodbye!"

She pushed open the door of the booth and hurried away...

Waters watched her leave, a mischievous smile lifting the corners of his mouth as he made a call. "Spread the word to Amelia that Sadie is working at a nightclub."
