Chapter 946 Destined To Be Single!
“Critical hit!”
Constantine took two steps back and looked at Shirley with disbelief. His face, which was blushing originally, paled instantly. If the butler had not propped him up in time, he wouldn’t even be able to stand properly.
Miss Shirley doesn’t remember me at all? How could this be? I’m thinking about her every single day. Can’t she feel that at all? Is my overwhelming love for her all wasted? Constantine looked at Shirley with a wretched look as if he was a wronged child.
Shirley furrowed her brows. She really couldn’t recall who this man, who seemed rather impotent, was.
“Ha… So it’s actually one-sided love plus delusion.”
A young lady burst out laughing on the spot. People had thought it was a love tragedy initially, and then it suddenly had a twist, and became a comedy.
The customers, who were looking at them, smiled too. They didn’t expect that this lady elf would bring them such amusement when she had only just joined the restaurant.
This had to be this year’s most pathetic love declaration? There wasn’t even a rejection. It was simply a case of mistaken identity.
Bro, hers could be bigger than yours if she decides to take it out. Mag looked at Constantine from the kitchen and sighed in his heart. He felt a little sorry for him.
“Shirley is so popular. Someone declared his love for her on her first day at work,” Yabemiya said softly with a smile.
“That Uncle is ugly,” Babla said with disgust after she looked at Constantine.
Shirley continued clearing the tables. She put the plates gently on the tray. She waved her hand across the table with a gentle move, and a green light flashed. A stream of clear water flowed over the table and chairs, making them as clean as new.
The butler held onto Constantine’s arm, and calmly said, “Sober up, Master. You’ve got to maintain your dignity now.”
Some sparks returned to Constantine’s eyes gradually. He quickly put on a smile when he saw Shirley getting ready to leave with the tray. He said, “I was only joking earlier, Miss Shirley. You must have forgotten about me since we haven’t seen each other for a long time. Thus, let me introduce myself again. I am—”
“I’m not interested.” Shirley turned around and went to the kitchen without even giving him a second look.
Constantine looked at Shirley’s retreating back with a gaping mouth. His heart felt heavy.
“This poor man. He actually looks alright.”
“Isn’t he the famous swinging bachelor of our Chaos City, Constantine? He’s filthy rich and owns dozens of jewellery shops. He’s a famous Casanova who never had a failed conquest. I didn’t expect him to meet his match here.”
“He had to pay for his sins eventually. If those ladies he had led on all these years knew he had this coming, they would laugh their as*ses off.”
The customers discussed quietly as they looked at Constantine. Some of the customers who knew Constantine began to expose his past to satisfy others’ curiosity for gossip.
“Master, should we stay or go?” the butler asked softly as he looked at Constantine with a worried expression. Although he didn’t have much hope for Constantine, he did watch him grow up, so he couldn’t bear to see him wither away.
“Why should I leave? I shall be wherever Miss Shirley is.” Constantine plonked his butt onto a chair at a side, then laid his head on the table, and looked toward the kitchen with a dazed look. He feebly said, “Furthermore, I’m starving. Please give me a set of Yangzhou fried rice and a set of braised chicken and rice…”
“You finally decided to eat, Master?” The butler beamed, and promptly waved the service staff over to take his orders.
“A momentary defeat is fine. As long as I persevere, I believe Miss Shirley will be touched by my heartfelt sincerity eventually. I have decided that she is the one for me. If I can’t marry her, I’d rather be alone for the rest of my life,” Constantine said with a determined look.
“Destined to be single!”
Mag saw a line of colored words rising up from Constantine’s head.
“System, you’re a little naughty.” Mag raised his eyebrows and couldn’t help laughing.
Yangzhou fried rice and braised chicken and rice were served swiftly. Constantine, who had not eaten for a few days, had a hearty appetite. He finished the fried rice and braised chicken and rice in no time. He looked fresh and no longer sickly.
“The food cooked by Boss Mag is not only delicious, it also fills you with energy. It’s marvellous.” Constantine marvelled. He looked at Mag in the kitchen, and said in his heart silently, He also helped me found Miss Shirley. I’ll definitely give him a big red packet after I win Miss Shirley’s heart.
“Check, please.” Constantine snapped his fingers.
Anna came over and looked at the plates in front of Constantine. After thinking for a moment, she said, “One set of braised chicken and rice, one set of yangzhou fried rice, one set of savoury tofu pudding. The total is 16 gold coins.”
“The remainder is the tip for you. Keep the change.” Constantine gave two dragon coins to Anna with a smile. He gave Shirley a look, and then walked to the door decisively.
The greatest error when it came to winning a girl’s heart—grovelling.
That would only cheapen yourself and make the girl despise you. You wouldn’t be able to get the girl like this, especially the beautiful ones.
As an experienced Casanova, Constantine began to go to his chase instincts after he calmed down. He already knew what to do to capture this rose with thorns.
A good gentleman’s bearing with a wealthy facade. This was the technique he used that made him a perpetual success in winning the ladies’ hearts all these years.
“But—” Anna held onto the two dragon coins. Before she could finish her sentence, Constantine had already gone out.
What a rude person. He won’t even finish listening to what Anna has to say. Shirley looked at the back that went out of the door with an annoyed gaze.
“What’s a tip, Big Sister Shirley? Why is he giving me a tip? What should I do with it?” Anna asked Shirley with a puzzled look.
“That guy is probably too arrogant. You can ask Boss Mag how to handle this.” Shirley pointed toward the kitchen.
Anna jogged to the kitchen entrance, and asked Mag, “Uncle Mag, that uncle spent 16 gold coins, and he left after giving me two dragon coins. He said the remainder is a tip for me. So, what should I do with it?”
“Oh, a tip. This is a recognition from a customer that Anna has done a good job. Anna, you can keep this money,” Mag replied with a smile. Even though this was a first, Mag didn’t want to put a stop to it. Tipping was common in overseas restaurants. This kind of recognition was akin to praise. It was a recognition of good service provided by the server.
