Dustin laughed hearing that response, Sophia and Winston joining in with luaghing as well. "Even if Miss Flora is on your side doesn't mean you can boast like this, you are still a nobody"
Slap, Dory slapped Winston making her go silent. Leaving Sophia and Dustin in a daze. No one had dared to slap Winston before, he pulled out his phone to make a call.
"Sir someone is here making a scene and causing a ruckus you need to get here"
Dory ignored them walking up to the waiter to check if she was alright "what is your name?"
"My name is M-maria"
"James, she is cute and since she has been fired what if she works for me? I can build her up quite good" locking her arm through Maria's as they walked to the table and sat down.
James didn't budge an inch he kept staring at the trio "anyone else want to make any calls?"
Winston looked over to Dory before saying "I don't know who you are trying to be, talking big to impress Miss Flora won't do anything nor her connections can help you now. Mr Micheals is on the way to deal with you personally."
"Oh darling you got it mistaken, I'm here to have a meal. You three came and harrassed James, you should know something tho. James might be in favor with my family, but even my father pays respects to James" she laughed sinisterly after speaking.
James simply sent a text, then sat down beside Maria "I'm serious if you want you can work for me"
Dory scrunched her nose "she's coming to work with me, by time I finished with her she will be ruthless" Dory dotted on Maria, everyone found it strange to see.
Dory the most reserved woman in the city, ruthless when around James and sweet towards Maria. This was weird Winston watched has those two began arguing about Maria. As if 2 giants were fighting between themselves.
Dustin attempted to use it to his advantage, Winston quickly stopped him "why are you stopping me?"
Winston whispered "look you fool, this isn't as simple as it seems. Miss Flora hit me for insulting James, now they are arguing like they are long time friends. I have never seen anyone dare to do that with Miss Flora in all the time I've worked here"
Thud, Winston's legs gave out and he knelt on the ground lowering his head, like a prey ready to be attacked. Dory was feared mainly becuase how fearless her family was, people didn't know much about what type of people the Flora family was.
It Made everyone fearful since their business bloomed over night and they were not ones to mess around when their family morales were put to the test.
"M-miss Flora what is your relationship with This person?" Dustin spurted out
She smiled cunningly "James is unpredictable and can put up with alot. But he has my protection"
Dustin snickered "so he is using your families backing to do whatever he please"
"Nope, had a family meeting last night and dad pretty much made it clear not to cross James in anyway" she licked her lips seductively "I wonder what the punishment he'd inflict if I cross him" such a thought aroused her.
"Dory can you behave and Dustin you don't quite understand the situation you are currently in. You followed me up here, cuased trouble in the restaurant and made Winston personally come here to do your bidding, Dory loves to seek justice. For the record, there's no relationship between Dory and I we are just friends"
Hearing James say all that she pointed at the trio "you three have ruined our meal, you know how hard it is to get James to come for a meal?"
Mr Micheals walked into the private booth in an calmly James saw him instantly "so your Mr Micheals, let me tell you. When your phone rings answer it." As his words left his mouth, Mr Micheal received a phone call.
"Yes"
"Who"
"Ok"
Was a brief phone call but everything was said quickly he looked at James before getting the trio to leave, not uttering a single word until the door is closed "Young Master, I am truly sorry for the welcome you have received"
Since entering he had not shown any reaction or facial expressions, "There's no need for that Young master, this restaurant is already owned by Mister Stefan. I'm just the face of this building"
Dory smiled saying "well since you are just the face shouldn't you deal with the riff raff that lingers and causes issues for those trying to have a good meal?"
Mr Micheal had the three removed from the room excluding the waiter Dory wanted her to stay, all three of them sat down to have a meal while Mr Micheal stood waiting to be dismisses, dory looked straight at him saying coldly "there's no reason for you to linger is there"
he quickly glanced over at James seeing him give a quick nod "No i will see myself out, if you need something just let me know"
Dory smiled at James "why is it that you are always in places that gets you in trouble?"
"People who has money will always look down to those who have none while those with none wish they had more" James said looking at the waitress "so i ask you do you want to be someone that the rich walks all over or do you want to be someone that can be the hand that helps or the hand to do something about those type of people"
Seeing how she didn't say anything James changed the topic; she sat there silent laughing at their jokes and wondering who he was that even Dory had an eye on him. for outsiders that saw them in at a glance thought they all were best of friends. "i forgot to say this but my name is Lucy"
it was the first personal thing that they heard from her, Dory jumped out of her seat out of pure excitement "I thought you would never talk, now we know your name haha" dory raised her glass "here's to Lucy our new friend" they clinked their glasses together eagerly.
