Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Chapter 362

362 Offending Mount Tai

The Manager knew when the lady came in with her husband, Davis. When they came, the two, plus the few guards they brought along were directly brought into the fourth store by him, through the back door, so none of the staff saw them. 1

Also, this woman claiming to be Davis Xu’s wife isn’t famous like she’s making herself out to be, which. is also why the staff does not recognize her status but knows her as their regular customer. But as the Manager, he has to put the fire out, else he suffers.

“Mrs. Xu, please ease your rage. It is my staff’s fault for not being able to distinguish mount tai. Show mercy, Mrs. Xu!” The Manager begged on his salesperson’s behalf.

Hearing that, the saleslady was stunned. Mrs. Xu? Asin the Xu family?! She immediately went to her knees and started kowtowing, “Forgive me, Mrs. Xu, I was blind for a moment!” She doesn’t have a death wish, nor would she be so brave as to lay her life down to be slaughtered by the Xu for blindly offending one of them.

Mrs. Xu smirked when she heard that but had no intention to let the salesperson go.

However, before she could speak further, the Manager barked at the saleslady. He knew she wasn’t at fault but an egoistic woman like Mrs. Xu should be allowed to have her way.

“Why did you barge in so impudently?!”

“S–sir, I came to inform you that the Lu brothers and their family have been on the third floor-”

“Wh–what Lu brothers?” The Manager stuttered in alarm. The two people who are mostly addressed as the ‘Lu brothers‘ are Maverick and Rex. But he might be mistaken, which was why he questioned, not daring to believe his intuition. After all, Maverick or Rex would come here to shop.

“Rex and-”

“You goddamned woman!!” The Manager yelled at the saleslady before he sped out without caring about Mrs. Xu and her husband who was in the changing cabin of the VIP room. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

He didn’t entirely abandon them though, almost half of the staff were lined with their heads bowed to attend to the spoiled woman but she insisted that the Manager roam around with her.

The saleslady didn’t wait around, she also ran after her Manager.

Mrs. Xu was astonished. How dare that Manager abandon her because of Rex? Isn’t ber husband, Davis, more important than Rex?

Mrs. Xu left what she bought and left the room, hoping to go cause some drama. Moreover, Davis told her a few days ago that the Organisation is unstable, so now, they can cause trouble for the Lu brothers and if possible, kill them.

Meanwhile, on the third floor, the Manager was seen bowing in front of Maverick with his body dripping sweat. No one told him the god of Country M had been waiting for so long. If he had known, he would have run here sooner.

While the Manager was praying for Alpha Chaos to not get mad, Maverick, on the other hand, didn’t care about the Manager and staff all lined in front of them with their heads bowed.

His eyes were closed as he rested his head on the headrest of his couch, same as Valen who was sitting close to him.

But troublesome Rex wanted to have fun.

“Manager, do you not want us in your store? We’ve been here for almost two hours and didn’t see you. That’s not too good, you know.”

“S–sorry Mr. Lu, I, I wasted ti-”

Rex didn’t let him finish and cut him off. “And what do you think you’re doing right now, Mr. Manager? Aren’t you wasting more time? Instead of you giving my sister–in–law the things she asked for, you ran down here without anything? Are you serious?” Rex raised a brow.

Jeslyn who was sitting beside him on a single sofa sighed. “Brother–in-law, please don’t be upset. He must have had another customer to attend to.”

Hearing the woman speaking up for him, the Manager felt like crying. She’s so nice, he thought.

“R–right away, you, hurry to the storeroom and bring out the new belt.” The Manager ordered one of the senior salesladies before he hurried to his office to get the cufflinks that were recently brought in.

Upstairs, Mrs. Xu saw everything but the only people she failed to see were Maverick and Valen.

She didn’t believe that Maverick would have the time to come shopping with Rex and Jeslyn regarding the chaos happening in the Dark Age Organization.

She believed that the back of the head she was seeing might likely be Rex’s friend or one of Rex or Jeslyn’s guards.

When the Manager returned, Xu smirked and slowly started to walk down the stairs from the fourth floor.

“So, because of Rex Lu, you abandoned me, Davis Xu’s wife, with a bunch of worthless salesladies? Impressive. The people of this Country never cease to amaze me,” She said.

Her words caught everyone else except Valen and Maverick’s attention.

Everyone looked back to see a pretty Young Lady walking down the stairs.

Jeslyn shook her head and returned her gaze to the new cufflinks that were brought.

“Manager, these two look good. And that belt too. Pack those for me,” she said.

“Y–yes, Ma’am.” Just as the Manager was about to pack them, Xu Davis‘ so–called wife stopped him with her words.

“Why did you not tell me there are such dashing cufflinks? I’ve been thinking of buying my man something elegant and classy but couldn’t think of anything as gorgeous as this. Let me have them. That should be your payment to me for ignoring me.” She was still walking over and hadn’t seen the ‘lion‘ who was sitting quietly on the couch with one leg over the other.

Valen finally got interested in the woman who dared to intentionally go against his mother in his presence. He got up and looked behind him. Seeing that his mother was prettier and classier, he

snorted before sitting b

ack down and closing his eyes to sleep with his head on his father’s arm. 1
