Chapter 101 The Manager Of Happy Living

Upon receiving news of Wade's arrival, the manager of Happy Living, John Colt, hurried over. Wade was a section chief, so John felt that he should at least go and greet him. "Mr. Colt, over here!" Wade waved his hand to get the manager's attention.

His voice was rather loud; it attracted the attention of the nearby people.

John made his way over to their table, and Wade, Ginny, and Harry stood up to welcome him. Heather, who did not know him, shot him a glance before turning to ignore him. Alex, on the other hand, did not even raise his head as he continued to eat.

"Mr. Colt, these two are my friends, Ginny York and Harry Schultz," Wade introduced. He deliberately left. out Alex and Heather.

John shook hands with Ginny before he spotted Alex.

At that same moment, Alex lifted his head to stare right at the manager.

Ginny poured a glass for John before raising her own. "A toast to you, Mr. Colt."

John did not accept the glass. Instead, he headed straight for Alex.

"M-Mr. Jefferson, you're here too?" he politely greeted.

He did not know who Alex was. He only knew that his own boss, the king of the underworld Flynn Dunn, was incredibly respectful toward the man. Flynn had stated more than once that to disrespect Alex was to disrespect him.

As long as Alex asked for it, everybody in the underworld had to help him first and foremost. No matter what the task was, they would have to do as he ordered.

John, who had been put in charge of Happy Living by Flynn, naturally did not dare to offend this mysterious man.

Ginny's glass hovered in midair as she watched the scene in shock.

Mr. Jefferson? Did Mr. Colt mistake him for someone else?

Wade and Harry furrowed their brows as confusion welled in them.

Heather gaped at the respectful look on John's face.

Last time it was the celebrity, Madison Zucker, and now it's the manager of Happy Living...

None of those two people was your average person. Even Wade had to be more courteous to John than normal, yet John seemed deferential to Alex.

"Yeah." Alex nodded.

John then asked, "Mr. Jefferson, would you like me to move you and your friends to a private room?"

Waving his hands, Alex replied, "No need. You can get back to work. I'm just having a couple of drinks with my friends."

His words had embarrassed looks crossing Wade, Ginny and Harry's faces. They had not invited Alex here to drink with them. "Yes, yes. he left.

Of course!" John bobbed his head, shooting Wade and the other two an apologetic glance before.

Noting how subservient John was toward Alex had them shocked to the core. He had scurried away like a naughty child sent to bed at one sentence from Alex!

John had been invited here by Wade and had greeted them so warmly. He was just about to drink with them when he had caught sight of Alex and became like another person.

One wave of a hand from Alex and John had left without a hint of protest. He had not even bothered to say his goodbyes to Wade, his old friend!

This isn't as simple as him being obedient anymore. It's more like he's afraid of Alex!

Wade fixed his gaze on Alex, confusion swirling in his eyes.

What had just happened had completely been out of his expectations.

"Alex, you sure are more than what meets the eyes, aren't you? And here we were just saying Harry that can help you replace a job! You're such a mean person to hide this from us. As punishment, you have to down

a shot!" Ginny shot Alex a coy look, her earlier disdainful attitude nowhere to be seen.

Smiling, Alex replied, "Don't overthink it. I only know his boss, that's all. He's just showing me some respect out of deference to his boss."

So that was why.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
