The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 92

They went back home.

Amara glanced at Casey with resentment and said, "What’s wrong with you? Do you really think that your shanty is comparable to their villa? Are you trying to embarrass us?"

Nicolas sighed and said, "He has already told them. At that time, they will definitely come to visit Casey’s house. Maybe we can rent a better house first to deceive them. After Edith amassed a fortune, we can buy a real one for ourselves."

"Rent one? Do you think they are fools? They are our relatives, having a lot of opportunities to get along with us. They can figure it out within a few days, which will lead us to a more embarrassing situation!" Amara said angrily.

"My house won’t disappoint you. You will know it on the day of the visit," Casey said.

"Casey, what my mother wants is a grand house like Nyla’s, not a one-room flat just like yours. No matter how good it is, it won’t satisfy her," Edith glanced at Casey.

Casey smiled at her and said, "Trust me. It will."

Hearing his words, Edith had no choice but to remain silent.

Amara stared at Casey. She thought he couldn’t be more arrogant.

Then she said, "Good, I will remember what you just said. Because if we get embarrassed at the time we go for a visit, I will kick you out of our house forever!"

She had wanted to kick him out for a long time. Now that he gave her the opportunity, she would take advantage of it.

She even started to feel happy about kicking him out at the end of the month, so she ended the quarrel.

Edith sighed with resignation. She brought Casey into her room.

"Is your house really good enough to meet mom’s standard?" Edith said.

"Don’t worry. I wouldn’t have said that if it wasn’t that good. Do I look like a liar to you?" Casey smiled.

She nodded. A man like Casey wouldn’t tell a lie like that.

Was it possible that his house was not a one-room flat?

Although she guessed it wasn’t a one-room flat, she didn’t think his house would be way better than that, or better than Nyla’s.

But as long as it wasn’t so shabby, she was fine with it.

Two days later, Edith got off work earlier. After arriving home, she walked to Casey and talked to him with a smile, "I had fewer jobs to do today, so I go back earlier. Let’s go and have a meal."

Caser looked at her sympathetically and said, "Maybe another day. You need to work in the afternoon."

"No way. Remember the last time I invited you for a dinner but got sunstroke in the end? We have cool weather today and it won’t happen again. I have already chosen a restaurant, just go with me," Edith said smiley.

He had to nod and went out with her.

When they arrived at where the car was parked, Edith threw the car key to Casey and said, "You drive the car."

"But mom said I couldn’t…" Casey said.

"Are you going to obey everything she says? You brought the car, and of course, you can drive it," Edith said.

"Besides…Will you let the girl drive when you are having a date?" She said with her face turning red.

Hearing her words, Casey took the key immediately and ready to serve his princess.

Edith laughed and sat in the passenger seat.

Casey got in the car and said, "Where are we going, my princess?"

"Phoenix Restaurant, go!" Edith said.

Casey drove his car all the way to Phoenix Restaurant.

Phoenix Restaurant was a famous restaurant in J City, comparable to Harue Restaurant.

Last time Edith wanted to have a meal with Casey in Harue Restaurant but got sunstroke before she could make it, so now Edith changed the place.

Before long, Casey parked his car in the parking lot of Phoenix Restaurant and then walked into the restaurant with Edith.

The date was pretty smooth, with no interruption in the process.

Edith ordered some tasty dishes for Casey. But after tasting all of those, she found out that these were not as delicious as what Casey made.

"Oh, what a shame. The restaurant’s dishes were not better than yours," Edith complained.

Casey laughed. He thought the look of Edith now was very cute.

"How about you hiring me as your cook. I’m sure I will make you proud," Casey said.

"Good." Edith laughed too.

Casey said, "But first thing, my salary should be high."

Edith thought in a second and replied, "How much for you to cook a dish?"

"A kiss of you," Casey said.

Edith’s face turned red immediately. She was too shy to make eye contact with Casey now and didn’t expect that he would tease her, making her heart beat faster.

"You are so naughty. I don’t want to talk to you anymore," Edith said playfully.

At this time, a waiter approached them and handed a card to Casey with respect, and then he said, "Congratulations, sir. You are selected as the lucky customer of our restaurant. From now on, you can enjoy your meal in our restaurant for free, and have the highest priority to be served. With this card, you can share your privilege with your friend."

Hearing this, Casey was puzzled, "Lucky customer? What’s the criterion for that?"

"Of course, it’s the luck, sir. Our boss believes that you are a man with good fortune, so he chooses you," the waiter replied.

Casey didn’t believe what the waiter said. He looked around and found out that Jordan was sitting not far from him.

Jordan noticed Casey was watching him. He raised his glass and drank a toast to him.

Casey took the card and said to the waiter, "Alright, I get it. Go ahead with your work."

Edith watched his card curiously and said, "Wow, Casey, how lucky you are to be the lucky customer of Phoenix Restaurant! You don’t need to pay for your meal in here anymore, right?"

Casey smiled at Edith, "It is you who brings the fortune to me. You can take the card. After all, your company is close to the restaurant, so you can have a free meal whenever you want."

In fact, he knew there was no so-called "lucky customer". It was just a method for Jordan to please him.

Probably, this restaurant was bought by Jordan. Although Jordan was merely a steward working for the Davies family, his possessions were way beyond the ordinaries’.

He thought Jordan was patient. After all these days, he was still trying to bring Casey back to the Davies family.

Edith got the card from Casey with excitement. She didn’t realize that Casey knew the old man sitting in the corner, nor that it was the old man who gave Casey the card.

Suddenly, Edith was stunned after hearing a voice from a woman, "Hey, Edith. What brings you here?"

She turned around and saw a woman with a lot of makeup standing behind her, staring at her with despising.

"Hey, Leyla," Edith said.

Casey measured her with the eye. In the past, Diana told him that Edith didn’t get on well with Leyla.

She didn’t even pretend to be polite and sat next to Edith. Then she said, "It is surprising to see you to have a meal in such a high-end restaurant. You must have saved money for a long time to afford it, haven’t you?"

Edith frowned. Leyla was still recognizing her as an unimportant employee, and didn’t realize that she had already been in charge of a major project.

Noticing Edith was silent, Leyla firmly believed that Edith wasn’t getting too well in her career. So, she threw a property ownership certificate on the table.

"When you were still studying at school, so many boys were in pursuit of you, and you were so reserved, turning down all of their courtships. Surprisingly, you got married to an incompetent after graduation," Leyla said.

"But I’m luckier than you. I married to a rich man who bought me a house in Hazelfield Estate with three rooms at a cost over three million dollars. Just received the certificate today," Leyla finished her speech.

She was hoping to show off in front of Edith all along. Now that she met Edith in the restaurant, she would make full use of this opportunity and show her superiority.

"Oh, wish you happy," Edith replied simply.

Leyla became more arrogant now. She glanced at Casey and said, "Is this your useless husband? Don’t you feel ashamed to bring him out for a meal?"

"If I were you, I would never hang out with a useless man. But that’s impossible because my boyfriend is a handsome rich guy who only makes me proud," Leyla said.

"Are you finished?" Edith said angrily. She couldn’t bear Leyla’s words anymore.

Leyla said carelessly, "I say whatever I want. You were so cocky at that time, weren’t you? What about now? It is my turn now!"

Edith tightened her fist and clenched her teeth. She looked at Leyla in fury and said, "How I wish I could get you out of here."

Leyla twitched her mouth and said, "Get me out of here? I’m a frequenter of this restaurant. Even the boss needs to show some respect for my boyfriend. You can just try it and see what’s going to happen."

Once she finished her words, several waiters approached her.

The leading waiter glanced at her and said, "Sorry, your behaviour causes negative impacts to our VIP member’s dining experience. Please leave the restaurant immediately, or we will have to force you."
