Chapter 208
Even though he had lost his job, he still wanted to know who the man in the restaurant was At least then he’d understand why he ended up in such a mess.
Now that Kevin was fired, Louis felt a bit more relieved from his lear and anger.
Moreover, considering he’d accepted quite a few favors from Kein in private, he didn’t hang up immediately. With a snort, he said. “You really don’t know who you’ve offended?”
When Louis made an exception to promote Kevin to manager, he wondered if his young age might lead to problems.
Louis thought, ‘Now, it really seems like it has. Maybe he is still too young
Kevin anxiously ruffled his hair, filled with frustration. “I honestly have no idea. If I knew, I wouldn’t be calling you
If it really was someone else, he felt like bursting in right then to confront that gity.
Louis was silent for a moment before responding “The head office president’s office specifically called to demand your firing. What do you think?”
The words “president’s office” kept echoing in Kevin’s mind. He collapsed to the floor.
If he remembered correctly, the president of the Howerton Group, Samuel, was also quite young. So, the person inside was. Samuel.
It was at that moment that Kevin realized he had provoked a major figure, and simply being fired was already merciful. Kevin hung up the phone with a defeated expression
He suddenly lifted his head, eyes filled with a mad hatred. “Melanie, that witch!” If it wasn’t for her, none of this would have happened today,
Suddenly, Kevin noticed Melanie hailing a cab by the roadside, so he quickly got up from the ground and headed straight towards her.
In the restaurant, Isabella and Samuel were finally free from any annoyances, and the spectators gradually left.
Samuel looked at Isabella, leaned back in his chair with a frown and said, “Mrs. Howerton, it seems like tonight’s date didn’t go as planned.”
They had expected to enjoy a pleasant evening, only to be interrupted by such incidents.
Isabella smiled and shook her head, looked up at Samuel and softly said, “They’re insignificant, not worth letting them affect our mood.”
Even though she was genuinely angry at the time, now that Melanie’s boyfriend had faced the consequences, she felt there was no need to stay upset.
As for Melanie, she probably wouldn’t have an easy time ahead. Isabella could see that Kevin valued his job a lot, and now that it was gone, he was probably going to take his anger out on Melanie.
The serious look on Samuel’s face gradually softened, and he quietly said to Isabella, “You’re right.”
He was worried Isabella might be affected, but it seems she wasn’t. The cold aura around Samuel slowly started to fade away,
At that moment, the store’s speakers suddenly came on. “Today’s themed event is about to start, and we kindly ask all couples who want to join to go to the area in front of the reception desk.”

Chapter 208
Isabella turned around and made eye contact with Sammel, both of them looking puzzled. Isabella had never eaten here before, so she didn’t know what a couple’s event was
But Samuel got up and reached out his hand to Isabella. “Come on, let’s take a look”
Isabella’s eyes were filled with surprise. She thought, is this really the usually aloof man?” She smiled slightly and reached out to take Samuel’s hand. The two of them stood up and walked towards the front.
The space was large without any dining tables, reserved especially for games.
It was clear that this game was probably a tradition at their restaurant.
Moreover, nearly half the couples in the restaurant had gathered here, eagerly looking forward to the game.
With the crowd being quite packed, Samuel stood right behind her, using his body to shield her from the pushing crowd.
So Isabella didn’t mind and instead watched the activities ahead with bright eyes.
Everyone stood in a circle, leaving the middle open, where a lively, cute girl with a microphone was hosting the event.
The girl was just in her early twenties, with two little braids in her hair and a face with cute pink makeup. Her white fluffy dress made her look like a little fairy straight out of a fairy tale.
She held the microphone and gave a slight bow to everyone before beginning. “To thank you all for supporting our shop, our boss has specially changed the rules today. The event is very simple, and the prizes will be quite generous.”
Immediately, the crowd burst into enthusiastic applause, with everyone cheering and whistling, making the atmosphere incredibly lively.
Samuel and Isabella stood in the crowd. Whether it was their strong presence or something else, many people instinctively kept their distance, giving them plenty of space despite the crowd.
The host smiled and gestured with her hands for everyone to quiet down.
She went on to announce the rules and said, “Today’s challenge is a couple’s harmony test. You can’t use your hands; just press your foreheads together to move these small balloons, Whoever has the most balloons in their basket wins.”
This was indeed a very simple little game. In the past, their games were always about testing the couples‘ chemistry. Today’s game felt more like a treat.
Then, with a mysterious smile, the host added, “And today’s grand prize is a pair of couple rings.”
With those words, the cheers from the crowd grew so intense it seemed like the roof was about to lift off. The price for this pair of rings was more than 3,000 dollars.
For Samuel and Isabella, it might not be a big deal, but for most couples, a pair of rings costing more than 3,000 dollars was quite extravagant.

Isabella gazed at the game, her eyes glinting with interest. She hadn’t tried these activities before.
Though the prizes weren’t that tempting, doing this with Samuel would surely be fun.
However, she was not very
ry sure that whether someone as aloof and elegant as Samuel would do this with her.
Right then, Samuel leaned in close and whispered in her car, “Come on, let’s give it a try.” He took Isabella’s hand and walked straight to the middle.
Isabella glanced at Samuel with surprise, a simile spreading across her lips. It seemed he was truly becoming different from the Samuel she remembered.
Chapter 208
By now, the staff had serup all the game props, and the entire restaurant was decorated with colorful balloons, conveniently placed at about five feet off the ground–perfect for shorter girls
Isabella raised an eyebrow slightly; the design was quite though. When the staff handed Samuel a bag, he received it with a frown.
Isabella chuckled softly at Samuel and said. “Maybe we should skip this.” Group activities like these were indeed a bit of a challenge for Samuel.
Samuel looked back at Isabella, raised an eyebrow, and said, “Fus, it’s about to start.”
At that moment, the host shouted, “Is everyone ready? Let’s cou down together, three, two, one…
With the countdown reaching zero, Samuel lowered his head and pressed his forehead against Isabella’s with a small balloon between them. Seeing how determined he was, Isabella didn’t say anything else.
Both of them were taller than the average man and woman, so they had to bend over. Isabella coped better, but it was especially challenging for Samuel.
Their foreheads touched, bringing them close together. Samuel could only see Isabella’s check as they started to press the small balloon between them to take it down.
The small balloon slipped and fell to the ground, and by inertia, their lips brushed against each other.
Isabella was immediately stunned. In that moment, she finally understood the essence of the game.
-All the prizes and rankings were insignificant compared to this. It was purely designed to create closeness between couples
