A Prominent Figure Indeed
At once, the servers started getting busy with their work.
Undertaking the server’s responsibility, Desmond personally escorted Matthew and the others to the
exclusive private room in Maple Wood Tower. Then, Desmond waited for them to take their seats while
holding the menu in his hand. Once everyone had taken their seats, he immediately handed the menu
over to Matthew in a respectful manner.
“Mr. Larson, I heard you like Italian cuisine. I have specially invited a master chef from Bainbridge who
specializes in Italian cuisine. These are all his best dishes on the menu. Mr. Larson, please have a look.”
“As for Miss Cunningham, I heard you like French cuisine. I have also specially invited a master chef
who specializes in French cuisine. Here, have a look at this menu.”
In the meantime, Tiger could not help but glance at Desmond. Desmond sure is bright! He just received
the news this morning, but he was able to fly in several executive chefs from other places this very
afternoon. Very Impressive!
Sasha was baffled. She had no idea what was going on.
Meanwhile, Matthew was rather calm, and he placed the menu in front of Natalie. “Nat, take a look.”
There was a sudden movement in Desmond’s eyes, and he immediately said, “Mr. Larson, this must be
your sister, Natalie. Oh, such a gorgeous young lady she is! Just a moment, Mr. Larson. I’ll have
someone bring our Patisserie master from the headquarters over to make some of the chef’s specialties
for Miss Larson.”
Eventually, Sasha could no longer resist her urge to stop Desmond. “President Whittemore, you don’t
have to be so courteous. We’re just here for a simple dinner with our friends. There’s really no need for
all these troubles.”
Upon hearing that, Desmond hurriedly added, “Miss Cunningham, it’s your first visit to Maple Wood
Tower with Mr. Larson. No matter what, I must ensure that you all receive the best hospitality from us
tonight. Besides, it’s not troubling at all. It’s fine. These are all our own chefs.” Desmond waved his hand
as he assured Sasha.
The server who stood next to Desmond instantly ran out and arranged their Patisserie master from the
headquarters for a trip over to Maple Wood Tower.
Sasha looked dazed. She was really puzzled. What is up with Desmond?
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open. A fragrant smell brushed against everyone’s
noses, and Leanna walked into the room with the regality of a queen.
“Ugh! President Whittemore, what’s wrong with the service in your clubhouse? I couldn’t find any valet
when I drove my car into the courtyard! For a moment, I thought your clubhouse was going out of
business! But, it turns out all the servers actually came over here to entertain Mr. Larson!” Leanna jested.
Flustered by Leanna’s words, Desmond responded. “President Sandel, I’m terribly sorry. I-I forgot to give
them the orders prior. I sincerely apologize for any inconveniences caused.”
Upon hearing that, Leanna simply waved her hand. “Apologies accepted. Oh, and help me load two
cases of your aged wine into my car later.”
Desmond was overjoyed at Leanna’s words. “Not a problem, President Sandel! We can load as many
cases as you like!”
Leanna simply laughed and decided not to entertain Desmond further. Then, she directly made her way
toward Sasha and took the seat beside her.
Desmond was in a state of shock after he saw that.
Desmond had met Leanna several times before, but she never once spoke to him. And today, Leanna
even had the mood to joke around with him. So, it seemed like Leanna was in a good mood. It was as
clear as day that Leanna’s friendly behavior was all thanks to Matthew and the others.
Strange… I did hear about Leanna and Matthew being close acquaintances, but I didn’t expect that their
relationship was actually closer than I had speculated.
After Matthew and the rest had placed their orders, Desmond took the menu and excused himself.
Then, Sasha turned to look at Leanna. “So, what’s the good news, Leanna? You even ask us out to have
this celebratory dinner.”
In truth, Leanna was actually the host for tonight’s dinner. She had invited both Matthew and Sasha
through a phone call, telling them it was a celebratory dinner. Hence, they attended the dinner without
knowing the real situation.
Leanna said with a smile, “I just made more than 5 billion! Tell me that’s not good news! Tell me that’s not
worth a celebration!”
This sent Sasha into a state of astonishment. “Really? Wow, Leanna! You’re a brilliant businesswoman
indeed!”
Flattered by Sasha’s words, Leanna waved her hand. “Oh, don’t say that. It was all thanks to your
husband that I can gain this much profit! He contributed a lot to this!”
With a puzzled look on his face, Matthew asked. “Me?”
Seeing that Matthew was confused, Leanna smiled and enlightened him. “Have you forgotten about the
contract with Gonzalez Corporation that you asked me to sign some time ago? Both sides have sealed
the deal! More than 5 billion are now in my pocket!”
