Great Marshal: Marrying the Bridesmaid novel Chapter 39

Their boss had already informed them in advance, telling them that the boss' boss was coming today and that his name was Zeke.

The waitresses had imagined the big boss to be some middle-aged man with a huge tummy. They did not expect someone so young and athletic.

The four of them quickly bowed in unison, “Welcome, Mr. Williams. We're honoured by your visit. Mr. Williams, please follow me, your room has already been prepared.”

Zeke turned around. “Dad, mom and Lacey, come, let's go in.”

The Hinton family were dumbfounded.

They had never expected the pretty waitresses to show Zeke so much respected. They had even bowed to welcome him.

They also noted that when the girls spoke to Lawrence Herbert, they had only smiled politely in a professional manner.

The pretty waitresses hurried to Daniel's side.

“Sir, let me take your coat.”

“Ma'am, let me take your handbag.”

Daniel Hinton's family were surprised by their hospitality. They awkwardly let the girls help them carry their stuff.

Then, in a daze, they let the pretty girls lead them inside the Grand Millenium.

The waitresses led them to the doorway of a very luxurious room.

Just when they were about to enter, Lawrence Herbert's voice came from behind them, “You... how did you get in?”

They turned around to look and saw Lawrence and William sitting at a normal table in the hall.

Daniel immediately felt proud and vindicated.

“My son-in-law is an important person. We don't need a membership card or appointment to enter. Oh, why are you sitting down to eat in the common dining hall? Why not come inside our room and let us show you what real class is?”

Hannah was also full of pride. She instructed the pretty waitresses, “Girls, please put our stuff in the room first.”

“Sure, ma'am,” the pretty girls replied sweetly.

Only then did the father-and-son pair realize that the people carrying the Hinton's stuff were the four pretty girls who had welcomed them previously.

Only one waiter had led them in. He was not really concerned about them.

The great difference in treatment was obvious.

It was the Herberts' turn to be embarrassed.

Daniel continued, “Hannah, Lacey, you both go in first.”

“I'll stay here with Zeke to smoke and speak to Hospital Director Herbert for a while.”

Hannah had not shown off enough and so, she was not willing to enter the room yet. In the end, it was Lacey who dragged her into the room.

Daniel and Zeke sat beside the Herberts and gave each one of them a cigarette.

Daniel spoke, “I had wanted to phone you to invite you to Lacey's wedding dinner. However, since we have met today, I might as well inform you in person.”

William's heart was full of jealousy as he spoke, “Uncle Hinton, how can you decide with such haste about a wedding? As far as I know, these two haven't known each other for long. It's better to be careful. We can see a person's appearance, but we cannot see what lies in the heart.”

Daniel smiled. “Oh! That's old history. Young people nowadays have the freedom to find their own mates. We elderly should stay out of that. Wealth isn't the most important. The most important thing is that they like each other. Furthermore, those without power and money cannot win Lacey's heart. I have faith in her discernment.”

Immediately, the Herberts blushed uncomfortably.

Daniel was obviously telling them that they could not compare with his son-in-law's wealth and power.

Zeke smiled. “Father, let us go back to our room. Let's not make mother and Lacey wait for too long.”

Daniel nodded. “Yeah, we should head back. Old Herbert, come by for a drink later.”

With that, the two got up and left.

Lawrence did not reply. He puffed hard on his cigarette to vent his dissatisfaction.

A pretty waitress hurried to Lawrence Herbert's side, saying, “Sir, smoking isn't allowed in the main dining room. Please put it out.”

Lawrence got so angry he lost the rhythm of his regular breathing.

Just moments ago, when Daniel Hinton and Zeke were smoking there, it was allowed.

The moment they leave, smoking wasn't allowed in the main dining hall?

What type of regulation is this?
