Chapter 965
"What do you mean?" Lauren asked.
Sticking out her head, Lauren frowned angrily and said, "Are you looking down on us? There are so many seats. Are you lying? We have the queue number!"
Was that their way to entertain guests?
They had waited for almost two hours just for a meal. How could they fool them like that? Her good mood was instantly replaced by anger, and Lauren was really frustrated.
At the time, she was really starving to death!
After taking a look, Carney was also stunned. He then took a step forward and pulled Lauren behind him, and said, "Brother, what's going on? We've paid the deposit, and there aren't many guests today!"
Wasn't it said that there were 88 tables there? Also, the spring chickens were not served at one go. How could there be no more seat at the time? Then, he took out the queue number card and the receipt and showed them to the man.
Without looking at them, the man smiled politely and said, "I'm sorry, sir. Today's seats have all been reserved by someone, so we won't receive any more guests!"
Was there someone who would make a block booking even in such a place? How rich was he?
It was a tourist attraction and the restaurant was opened 24/7. At most, there were times when there were more crowd and some other times with less crowd. It was important to be as quick as possible, so that they could serve more guests. There would not be a sane owner who would agree with block booking!
Carney was quite puzzled when he saw that there were still people eating and drinking inside, and some guests were even walking out from the restaurant. He asked, "Someone's coming out. Can you let us in and rest for a bit?"
Once he moved, he was stopped again. The man said, "I'm really sorry, sir. All the seats have been reserved by the guest, and the guests inside are waiting to be cleared!"
At the time, there were people coming and asking one after another, going in and out. The two of them were quick to realize that only they were the only ones blocked from going in.
Carney looked for the manager and tried to communicate with various parties, and he was even willing to pay a higher price. However, ten minutes had passed and apart from being angry, their situation hadn't been resolved at all.
As their eyes met, Carney was also extremely depressed, while Lauren was very annoyed.
Although it was not the first time for her to encounter unfairness, it was just unusually annoying for them to have come from afar, paid but to be stopped from entering the restaurant.
"Forget it! Let's go to other place! We won't die even if we don't eat it!" Lauren scolded angrily and said, "Carney, let them compensate you. Let's go! I won't come to this kind of place again in the future, not even if they beg me to. This is basically paying to suffer!"
She would rather not eating the so called spring chicken for the rest of her life than letting them earn her money. It was so infuriating! "Laura... Okay, let's go somewhere else!" Carney said.
He wanted to comfort her initially, but when he saw that she wasn't looking too pleased, Carney took her away after a few words of negotiation. Besides the hotel, there were only some old and small grocery stores around. After looking around, they couldn't even find a place to make a pit stop. It was really strange. Occasionally, they would pass by a fast food store, but it would also be almost fully booked.
Along the way, they were both thirsty and tired. Other than the stone benches at the roadside, there wasn't even a place to rest. What was worse what that there were not many stone benches, and they were all occupied. In the end, Lauren really felt uncomfortable and leaned against a tree and rest. Carney was also very helpless. Seeing her tired face, he went to a small store to get a small stool.
"Sorry, we don't have inte here, so we only accept cash!" The shop assistant said.
"Huh?"
Carney was used to mobile payment, so he didn't bring much cash with him. Along the way, his wallet was basically empty! The items in the tourist attraction spots were obviously more expensive than usual, and even the cheapest ones would cost more than a hundred dollars. He was very anxious. As he walked around, he stopped a few people, but he didn't get to exchange any money with them.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
"Sir, could you please..."
He stopped another man, but Lauren grabbed him by the arm and said, "Carney!"
After sending the man off, Lauren walked up to him and smiled. She said,
"Thank you, you really don't have to. I'm not so delicate. It's just that I didn't change my shoes when I came out. My feet were a little painful, but they are fine now!"
She vaguely felt that something was wrong. Feeling frustrated, Lauren had lost the interest in staying, and said, "It's getting late, so let's go back! Instead of asking for help from others, it's better to go back to the car and rest!"
She would never go to the place again!
Carney looked at the time subconsciously and he was even more depressed. He hadn't thought that things would turn out that way However, they had been waiting for so long, and suffered quite a bit. Due to his innate sense of wanting to be compensated, he'd feel like he'd been at a disadvantage if they returned empty handed at that time.
Therefore, Carney took Lauren to one side, and took off his thin jacket and put it under the shade of a tree and helped her sit down. He said,
"No hurry, you take a rest first! Just
give me ten minutes! Since we're here, we can't waste our efforts. At least, we have to get the spring chicken to take away! You must be hungry, right? I'll go to the
convenience store over there to buy you some bread and water..."
While speaking, Carney pointed to another path.
Lauren roughly remembered it, but it didn't seem to be nearby. She grabbed his hand and shook her head.
"Carney, don't go!" It would take him a lot of time to go forth and back. Moreover, she was not that hungry.
They were arguing under the tree, and also had some tugging and pulling. From the window upstairs, Willy was watching the intimate scene of them from a distance. He gritted his teeth in anger.
In the end, Carney still bought the spring chicken, but because he couldn't take it away, and he couldn't leave the designated restricted area of the store, they had a picnic under the tree. However, no matter how delicious it was, it was not a wonderful meal.
After eating some of it, and after most of it being fed to the puppy, they got up and walked back towards their car. On the way, Lauren also complained,
"It's really the first time I've seen such inhuman rules! I really don't understand why there are still so many people going after it? Why would they wait in queue and spend money, just to suffer here?"
With her current emotions, Lauren really didn't think that the so-called famous spring chicken was delicious.
"Haha, maybe this is the ugliness of human nature!"
Carney suddenly lamented, "It's just like how in many cases, sincerity doesn't necessarily gain sincerity in return, and good people don't necessarily have good karma!"
They stopped and looked at each other. Both of them thought of each other's experience. In an instant, there was absolutely a connection between them. Lauren looked gloomy again when she walked again. When she got on the car, she then said again,
"Although I've always known it, I'd rather believe that 'good and evil will always be rewarded in the end'. If even such hope is being taken away, what do people live for anymore?"
Although what she had experienced in her life was too negative and depressing, she had also met many very kind people. Lauren still tried to persuade herself to be grateful.
"You're right! Sit tight, let's go!" Carney said.
They smiled at each other and the
car started slowly. Just as they got into the main road, a black car
suddenly sped up and got to their et
front, and Carney dodged it instinctively. He was panic and broke out in cold sweat, and said, how
"What the hell? Does b
to drive?"
The familiar car license plate suddenly entered her sight, and Lauren's eyes instantly widened in astonishment.
