Chapter 371 - REGRET YOUR WORDS (2/2)

At the reception area, a beautiful woman decked in tasteful designer clothes and fine jewellery looked at the establishment with arrogance. Her entourage waited for her ȧssessment as they stood behind her with a look of superiority.

”Bring me to your finest private room.” The woman ordered Benji.

Benji looked at the rowdy crowd and knew they were up to no good. Even though the opening was not as grand as it usually was, he would never welcome people who were there to ruin the ambience.

”We have no available space. Please return on another day.” Benji said.

The two girls flanking the beautiful woman stepped forward aggressively and looked ready to beat up Benji.

”Do you know who you are talking to? This is Izumiya Mio. She is not only from one of the five great families, she is also an influential force in the entertainment industry. Are you sure you want to offend her?” One girl asked.

Izumiya Mio waited to see Benji crumble in horror as soon as he realised her identity. However, he maintained his calm and easy face as if he was unaffected by the information. The disregard made her angry.

”And don't act like the restaurant is full. We do not see many vehicles outside, and this place is as quiet as a graveyard. Who are you trying to fool? We only need one online post to make sure this place disappears from Mountain Ridge forever.” The other girl added.

The young ladies and gentlemen behind them created a loud clamour, insulting Elements and calling it a trash place. With the mob mentality and the authority of Mio, they did not feel like they had anything to fear.

Benji did not change his stance. ”We cannot accommodate you tonight. Please return on another day.”

”Are you sure this is your final choice? You won't regret your words?” Mio asked as she took out her phone.

”I do not regret anything,” Benji replied.

Mio gritted her teeth as she took a cute but sad selfie and then crafted an SNS post on the spot: I wanted to treat my friends for a meal at Elements, but I was chased away like a dog. Could it be I look too shabby?

She posted it online directly. As a successful actress, she had a lot of fans, and she knew how to keep them hooked. Her image did not allow her to say anything bad about Elements outright. But she knew this message was enough to rile up her loyal fans.

She did not care about the mess she created online as she exited the platform. She only needed to see the results of the joint getting destroyed. She had heard there were branches, so she hoped her fans would cause enough of a mess to eliminate the whole business directly.

”What is happening here?” A male voice spoke from behind the group.

Mio also turned to look at the newcomer. Her sour face immediately changed into a sweet smile as she looked at the man she had chased unsuccessfully for a year.

”Brother Seiji! What are you doing here?” Mio's voice lost its arrogance and became gentle like water.
