Chapter 538: I Want to Court You

The manager hesitated for a while. When he saw that she kept looking at the table by the window, he
immediately understood, “You’re here for that man, right?”

Ellie saw that she had been seen through, so she simply admitted it. She spat out her tongue and said
embarrassingly, “Yes, yes, I am courting him, but he is so cold and unmoved by me, so I have to come
up with such a solution to impress him so that he can know that I love him very much.” Ellie was an
actress after all, so she did not even blink when she lied.

The manager believed her immediately, ‘Young people nowadays are indeed creative to come up with
so many ways for the sake of love.’ Thinking that there were not many people in the shop and the girl
was beautiful, he let her work in his shop for one hour.

“Okay, just for one hour. You can’t disturb the other customers.”

“No problem, no problem. I won’t move around. I’ll just concentrate on serving.” Ellie pointed, “That
table.”

The manager’s heart skipped a beat, ‘It’s good to be young. One can be so flamboyant and
unscrupulous. One can be reckless for love. Ah, I’m old. I’m old.’

The manager mourned for his youth for a few seconds, and then he asked a waitress to bring Ellie to
change her clothes.

Ellie jumped happily and followed her at the back, not realizing that everything she did had been seen
by a pair of sharp eyes.

When Ellie came out, she had changed her dress and replaced it with a very ill-fitting Scottish-style
shirt and skirt.



The waitresses in the shop were old, obese women. There was no shirt and skirt which could fit Ellie.
She could only stand at the bar in such a ridiculous outfit.

Not long after, one of the customers rang the bell. Ellie volunteered herself to serve coffee to the
customer. She carried a tray with two cups of fragrant cappuccino on it. It was so fragrant that she
wanted to take a sip stealthily. In the process of delivering the coffee, she passed by Kayden’s table
and deliberately slowed down to listen to their conversation.

Ellie slipped accidentally and she lost balance. She hastily pulled the table aside to avoid falling, but
the two cups of coffee had already spilt to the ground.

“Oh my god!” The manager shouted in exaggeration, ‘I know something will happen! Her hands are fair
and tender. She definitely does not work before. She probably has never held a soy sauce bottle at
home. It will be strange if there’s nothing happen when she works as a waitress.’

Ellie apologetically spat out her tongue and acted coquettishly at the manager who was walking
towards her with an angry look on his face, “Manager, don’t be angry, the floor is so slippery and I didn’t
expect the accident to happen. I will help you to clean it up, I will definitely help you to clean it up.”

***

The manager opened his mouth. When he was about to scold her, he suddenly lost his voice and his
face was flushed. He came back from his absent-minded after a while. He waved his hand and said,
“Forget it, you don’t have to clean it up.” After saying that, he hurriedly asked someone to clean up the
floor while he turned around to wipe away his sweat, ‘Oh my god, the man’s expression is horrible, as if
he was saying, ‘If you dare to scold her, I’ll put you in trouble.’ The expression is abnormal. Normal
people will not have that fierce expression.’

‘It’s horrible! It’s horrible! Some terrible person has entered my little shop!’



Ellie could not help but cheer in her heart when the manager did not look into the matter, ‘It seems that
beauty can work well in any country.’

Kayden slowly withdrew his gaze and continued to discuss the topic with Thompson, “To be honest, ZH
Clan is very interested in cooperating with your clan. However, the request you make is too harsh. ZH
Clan provides the manpower and equipment, but the share is divided in a fifty-fifty ratio, this is
unreasonable, right?” The Mafia had only sold a few pieces of information and it was not difficult for ZH
Clan to get that information, they just did not want to waste the time.

“That’s not true, without my information, how will you guys know where the mines are?” Thompson said
as he smoked his cigar and exhaled gently.

Kayden smiled significantly, “However, the truth of the news will only be known at the moment it is
mined, especially these metal ores, there is no way to prove that there is something underneath without
digging. Your clan has been in turmoil lately. There are many factions and the accounts are extremely
chaotic. You are worried that if you leave it to your men, they will fight over the resources, but if you
leave it to someone who is not in your clan, you can’t gain the maximum benefits. You want to achieve
your goal but you don’t want to give in. Mr. Thompson, there’s no such thing as a free lunch.”

Thompson’s face changed, ‘I don’t expect that he knows about this!’ When he was about to speak, he
was interrupted by a clear and melodious female voice.

“Hello, this is our signature dish, ‘Crock Pot Chicken Milano’, a gift today to thank our customers,
please enjoy yourselves.” The person who came was none other than Ellie.

Kayden raised his eyebrows and met Ellie’s soulful eyes. Ellie blinked and that was seductive.
Kayden’s heart skipped a beat and his hand trembled. Then, he lowered his eyes and continued
drinking his coffee.



‘Damn!!!!!!!!’ Ellie was scolding him in her heart immediately, ‘I have let go of my ego and even done
this for you but you still pretend that you’re embarrassed! Can’t you give me some responses! Will you
die because of paying attention to me!’

“Just put it down, there is no more business for you here, you can leave now.” Thompson could not
help but voice out unhappily when he saw that Ellie was reluctant to leave. ‘Damn, the waitress of this
shop doesn’t know how to behave properly. How can we discuss our issue if she stands here? I
seriously don’t know why Kayden chose this place. It’s bullshit saying that the merrier place is safer.’

Ellie rolled her eyes, ‘You’re busybody, idiot!’

Kayden was nervous. Seeing that Thompson suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked fierce, he
hurriedly spoke to distract him.

“About what I just said, I wonder what Mr. Thompson’s decision ...is.”

Thompson really focused back on the issue. He snorted, “Dividing the share in fifty-fifty ratio is the
biggest concession we can accept. You are taking all the benefits if we divide the share in thirty-
seventy ratio.” They had taken the lion’s share. The Mafia was not satisfied with the small profit that
was leaving behind.

Kayden held a cup and smiled, “Thirty per cent of the share of metal ore is already quite a lot. It’s
enough to support an army.”

Thompson snorted, “Thirty per cent. Are you sending away the beggars?”

‘Forget it if you don’t want.’ Kayden shrugged his shoulders. He thought that they would agree. He was
just dragging the time so that Kerr could have more time to prepare. It was only his whim to ask
Thompson to discuss here as he wanted to see how Ellie was doing lately.



‘I have to say, Nico’s coaching really works.’ Recalling the first time he saw Ellie flipping through the
book seriously at the opposite side, he was mesmerised.

‘But she has become so perfect, I’m less confident and less secure.’

“Hello, would you like to have a refill?” Ellie came again.

Thompson glared at her, ‘Why is this girl so annoying! Just now she broke the coffee cups and
interrupted our conversation, then she interrupted us by serving us chicken for no reason, and now
she’s here to refill! Who has said anything about a refill!’

Thompson suddenly narrowed his eyes, ‘I think I’ve met this girl before.’ He was old but he still had a
good memory.

Kayden was familiar with that look in his eyes. It was the look of a leopard when it was judging its prey.
Once it was sure of its next step, it would tear its prey fiercely. Kayden was nervous, ‘Has he
discovered Ellie’s identity?’

Ellie had originally come for Kayden. When he had given her the cup, she had no intention to stay there
any longer. However, thinking of her promise to the manager to be a competent waitress, she thought it
would be better for her to ask again, “Excuse me, do you need a refill?” She grinned and showed the
standard eight teeth.

Thompson instantly remembered, ‘Hadn’t this girl once appeared in front of my villa? She was with
Nico at that time. How can it be such a coincidence to meet here again.’

‘Could it be that ...’ Thompson stayed calm and collected and looked at Kayden and Ellie. He pondered
in his heart.

“Yes, I need a refill,” Thompson said indifferently.



Ellie took the cup and walked towards the bar counter gracefully.

“It seems we can’t get into an agreement today, so let’s talk about it another day.” Thompson got up
and said abruptly.

Kayden had exactly the same idea, ‘It will be a waste of time to discuss further. My time is precious.’

After they shook their hands, Kayden sent Thompson out.

When Ellie returned with the coffee that had been refilled, they had left and the table was empty. She
looked around and saw them standing in front of the shop. Without any hesitation, she chased them.

At that moment, Kayden had just sent Thompson away. He turned around and saw Ellie running
towards him out of breath.

He hurriedly turned around to leave. After he took a few steps, he was stopped by Ellie.

“Wait, don’t go.” Ellie was panting.

Kayden looked at her indifferently, “Is there anything wrong, Ms. Jones.”

Ellie’s heart was broken as he called her “Ms. Jones”. It was a strange and indifferent appellation.

‘It has only been two months since we last met, have we already become so distant? Is it really
irreparable?’

‘Even if I’m willing to put aside my pride and change for him, it’s still impossible to restore our
relationship?’

“I want to court you!” Ellie looked straight at Kayden and said it out loud.



Kayden was extremely happy in his heart but he looked indifferent, as if he was not touched, “I
remember when I said that we were over last time, Ms. Jones even said that we were not in a
relationship since the beginning and told me to stop posing as if we were breaking up.”

***

Ellie was retorted and she could not say anything. She stammered for a while before saying angrily,
“I’ve never been scolded since I was born. You scolded me in front of so many people, I couldn’t stand
it. You know that I’m impulsive and have a bad temper, why do you take the words that I said when I
was angry seriously?”

‘Ellie is really good at confounding black and white. If she hadn’t been so unreasonable first, I wouldn’t
scold her.’ Kayden was expressionless, “Has Ms. Jones finished talking?”

Ellie was dumbfounded, ‘I had said so, but he still calls me ‘Ms. Jones’ indifferently.’

“Haven’t finished.” Ellie shouted and stood with arms akimbo to block him, “I said I want to court you.
I’m informing you, not asking for your opinion. Whether you will agree or not has no conflict with
whether I want to court you or not. Also, I know that you don’t like me to behave like this, so I’ve
decided to change myself and will try to be the kind of girl you like!”
