Great Marshal: Marrying the Bridesmaid novel Chapter 68

Dawn had no choice but to stay.

Before long, the steak was ready and served to the table.

Dawn said in a sulky manner, “Let's dig in.”

Picking up the knife and fork, she began to eat slowly.

Meanwhile, Zeke was in quite a dilemma.

Although he had tasted the best food in the world, he disliked Western food. Hence, he had not eaten much Western food and did not know how to eat with the assortment of knives and forks.

Therefore, he could only imitate Dawn and used the knife and fork in a rusty manner.

Dawn felt more contempt for him, as he was clearly a country bumpkin who had never eaten Western food.

She just wanted to finish eating as soon as possible and leave, as there were several tables of guests around them who were giving them strange looks.

While the two were eating, four people suddenly walked into the restaurant and stood beside Dawn.

“Oh, hey, Dawn, you're eating here too. What a coincidence.”

Dawn looked up.

After seeing the group of people, her face instantly flushed with embarrassment.

These four people were all her colleagues.

Leading the group, the man with slicked-back hair was her superior, Dane Edward. He was a team leader at the company.

It was extremely embarrassing to be seen eating with a country bumpkin by her colleagues.

She stammered, “Mr. Edward, w-w-what a coincidence.”

Dane nodded his head and looked at Dawn with a lewd expression. “Yeah, it's a small world. By the way, I'm treating fellow colleagues to a meal, why don't you join us?”

Dawn glanced at Zeke, looking stumped.

She felt bad to leave Zeke behind and eat with Dane.

At last, she shook her head. “Sorry, Mr. Edward, I'm eating with my friend now.”

A trace of displeasure flashed across Dane's eyes. How dare this girl reject me in front of the other colleagues.

It made him lose face.

He glanced at Zeke with contempt. “I didn't expect you to actually have a friend who works as a peasant worker, Dawn. By the way, our company is going to be refurbished. Can you ask your friend if he's interested?”

Pfft!

The other three female colleagues couldn't help but laugh.

Dawn's face turned even redder. “Umm, Mr. Edward, he isn't a peasant worker.”

Dane cried out in amazement, “Oh, really? Judging from his outfit, he must be a trashman then.”

“How can this western restaurant let a trashman come in and let him eat in the same space with us? It will drag down our status!”

Dawn grew angry.

Although she despised Zeke, he was, after all, the husband of her best friend.

No one but I can insult him!

She said coldly, “One's status is not determined by appearance, but by manners. Mr. Edward, I hope you can pay attention to your demeanour and show respect for others. Thank you.”

Dane snorted coldly. “Oh, are you saying that I have no manners? Let me show you what a person with no manners is truly like then. I'd like to solemnly inform you that you have been fired from the company. You won't be unless you come and drink with me.”

Dawn was anguished.

God knows what I have done to get this job. Yet now, I've been fired just like this.

Therefore, she was in distress.

But after glancing at Zeke, she became resolute again. “Fine, I quit.”

Zeke was surprised.

Unexpectedly, she is quite a principled woman.

She had bet on the right horse this time.

Zeke decided to step in.

Dane gritted his teeth. “Fine, you've got some nerve, Dawn. Just eat your 58-buck trashy steak with this trashman, while we go and have Kobe beef.”

“Hold it right there!” Zeke suddenly spoke.

“What now? You're not happy?” Dane Edward asked indifferently.

Zeke put the knife and fork down and took the napkin to wipe his palms before he gently put on his white gloves.

Wearing white gloves was his usual practice before he struck.
