Chapter 495: Blackmail

When did you ask your secretary to call Mariana? Her words yesterday were very clear, why would she do something like that?

Mariana looked at her son from behind and saw Daniel smiling, but a little disgruntled.

-Well then, I beg you to make it clear to your secretary and don't come to bother me anymore," Mariana said indifferently and hung up the phone. She had no time to waste, especially when it came to Leopoldo.

She ripped off the headset and her eyes showed some dissatisfaction. She didn't understand why the man couldn't stop bothering her.

-Mom... -Little Daniel called softly when he saw that she was not in the right condition.

Mariana realized her outburst at the last minute.

-Son, there are still ten minutes to go. Don't worry, you won't be late," Mariana adjusted her mood and spoke softly.

She glanced at her son in the rearview mirror and her anger subsided considerably.

-Are you all right?

Daniel's eyes rested on the woman's body and he asked with concern. Looking at Mariana's appearance, she didn't look in very good shape. If she hung up the phone immediately, it was probably because it was a bad conversation.

The boy looked at the woman vaguely self-absorbed.

-I'm fine," Mariana grabbed the steering wheel and answered her son.

What was she going to do? She was just going to work to take care of her son, nothing else. Looking at the road in front of the car, Mariana's heart slowly calmed down.

-It's good that he's okay," Daniel said softly and went to eat the breakfast he was holding that Mariana had prepared for him this morning.

Under Mariana's care, he had grown exceptionally well, so basically, there were no aspects to worry about.

-Well then, go to school well and listen to your teacher. Mom will come to pick you up after school," Mariana admonished her son with a few words as she parked the car in front of the school. Her eyes were ful of affection as she looked at him.

Little Daniel looked at her, picked up his backpack and couldn't help but ask:

-Will Mommy come to pick me up personally after school?

-Of course," Mariana smiled and said without complaint.

If she wasn't coming to pick up her own son, who else would she have to wait for?

Seeing Mariana say this, the stone in Daniel's heart dropped. Having his mother pick him up after school was the happiest thing in the world.

-Mom, I'm leaving," Daniel said as he got out of the car.

Mariana watched her son's every move and had worries and hopes in her heart. She hoped that Daniel would be the son who could finish high school in the country.

When he reached high school, she would then choose whether to send him abroad or not.

Mariana didn't keep thinking about it when suddenly her phone rang. She gently picked up the phone and picked up the call.

-Hello, Laura.

-Mariana, something very serious has happened.... -Laura explained over the phone.

Mariana realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately turned around and walked in the opposite direction of the company.

Indeed, something big had happened to her store.

Mariana ran towards the store in a panic, but realized that there were quite a few people gathered there. There were customers and employees, as well as some people who shouldn't have been here in the first place. Seeing this scene made her heart clench.

But the boss was her, and there was no way she was going to run away.

-Are you the boss?

The man sitting at the dining table let his eyes fall on Mariana and spoke gracelessly. He deliberately examined the woman with eyes full of disdain.

From his clothes, Mariana guessed that he was a customer.

-Good morning, Mr. Customer, I am the owner of the place. Is there something wrong with the service? -Mariana looked at him and asked patiently. Her attitude was very heated and she had heard about the general situation on the phone.

This man's son ate the hot pot and subsequently got diarrhea. That's why the man stayed here and wouldn't leave no matter what anyone told him. But it wasn't that everyone had diarrhea or there was a food problem. Therefore, Mariana felt she was being blackmailed.

Nor was it a situation she had never seen before.

-Can we talk about how to handle it? -The client looked at Mariana and resisted.

He was the victim, so it was impossible for Mariana not to put on a good face.

Mariana glanced at the scene around her, the commotion was not small. It was not important to lose some money, but if the reputation of her store was affected from now on by this incident, it would be a really bad thing.

Seeing the situation, Mariana said:

-Sorry, customers, there has been an accident at the store today, resulting in an unpleasant dining experience for everyone. In light of this, all customers consuming in the store today will have their bill forgiven Whether it was the ingredients or not, she had to take care of the most important thing.

-This boss is really generous," the male customer was relentless, as if he was out to get Mariana.

Mariana's gaze rested on the other party, her heart slightly irritated, but she still said politely: -Excuse me, we can talk about it in private if there is any inconvenience, is that okay with you? She clearly knew what this type of person wanted.

The man gave her a disdainful look, not even trying to show his face.

-Do you want to get rid of me with some money? -The client looked at Mariana and asked rhetorically.

Mariana's complexion changed, she suppressed the anger in her heart and continued speaking:

-Then may I ask what kind of compensation he wants?

If he only wanted money, she would give him whatever amount he wanted.

-I'm going to sue you," the customer said coldly.

This restaurant had only been in business in the country for a year. The whole operation was still in its formative years and if something like this happened, who would dare to come eat here in the future? -Wait -Mariana looked the other way, always with the feeling that something wasn't right.

But, for a moment, she couldn't think of a better way to solve the problem. She stood in front of the man and pondered for a while before saying:

-We'll pay the child's medical expenses and give you an additional 20, 000 euros for moral damages. What do you think?

When it came down to it, she had to be direct.

-Twenty thousand euros? -The man sneered and looked at her sternly.

Mariana was confused.

"If it's not for money, what's it for? I don't hold a grudge against this man, so why didn't you choose to reconcile and have to embarrass me?"

-You'll wait for the punishment! -the customer spat a harsh sentence at him and then simply left the store.

Seeing the man's back, Mariana felt dizzy. She stood in front of her heels, her eyes full of confusion. She felt the other party's purpose was impure, but what was the reason?
