The Inescapable Celibate Heir Chapter 33: VIP Room

When they got to the Royal Sapphire Bistro, they bumped into Ella and her crew hanging out in the lobby.

The manager came over with some tea, "Sorry, Ms. Scott, the previous guests are taking a bit longer. Could you wait another ten minutes?"

Ella held back her annoyance and said, "It's fine, but you really need to manage your time better. I am a VIP, after all."

Lila nodded eagerly, "Yeah, Ella's from the Scott family. We've got a private room reserved, so why are we still waiting?"

Natalia, munching on the free snacks, asked with crumbs flying, "These snacks are good. Can I take some with me later?" She started stuffing some into her bag.

Wendy shot her a disgusted look.

The manager smiled politely, "Of course, all our guests at the Royal Sapphire Bistro are esteemed. If our service is lacking, we appreciate your understanding."

However, the manager secretly despised them, 'How ridiculous! Mr. Diaz in the private room is a regular, while this Ms. Scott is just borrowing someone else's card. Besides, she came early before her reservation time. If it weren't for my professionalism, I'd show her some attitude. Such pettiness.'

Natalia snorted and saw Victoria and Mira walking in through the main door.

"What are those two doing here?"

The four of them looked towards the entrance.

Victoria looked like she belonged there, not like them, who were awed by the fancy decor of the Royal Sapphire Bistro, which looked like a palace out of a TV drama.

Lila said, "Why is that bitch Victoria here too? Is she hoping Ella will invite her to dinner again?"

Wendy looked equally disdainful, "Seriously? So shameless. After insulting us, she still follows us!"

Ella laughed, "Don't say that about Victoria. She's in a tough spot financially and can't afford a place like this. It's understandable if she wants a free meal. As long as she's willing to apologize to me."

Then she stood up and walked towards Victoria and Mira, as if afraid they wouldn't find her.

"Victoria, you still came? We're waiting for our private room. It will be our turn soon."

Victoria looked at them, puzzled.

Natalia said, "What's with that confused look? You're not going to say you came here to eat too, are you? What a coincidence! Ella invited us here for a meal, and you just happened to come as well?"

Wendy added, "Yeah, some people wouldn't go to such lengths to impress others by paying for it themselves, would they?"

Victoria raised an eyebrow, "Isn't everyone here to eat?"

Lila felt a surge of jealousy. Why did Victoria act so nonchalant? She couldn't afford to eat here.

"Victoria, can you afford a $2,000 meal? You're no longer the daughter of the Scott family. You should know your place. Are you still planning to squander the Scott family's money?"

Mira stepped in front of Victoria, "Are you guys crazy? Suddenly blocking our way. Who said we wanted to eat with you? So self-absorbed!"

Ella said softly, "Victoria, think about your budget. If you blow all your money today, what about tomorrow? Come with us, it's on me."

Victoria, not wanting to deal with them anymore, pushed Ella aside.

Ella stumbled and almost fell. Natalia quickly stepped in to support her, "Ella, don't be nice to this ungrateful person. She doesn't appreciate it!"

Lila chimed in, "Yeah, let her dig her own grave."

Just then, a chubby man in a suit and tie came down from the third floor, smiling. He approached Victoria, "Are you Ms. Hamilton? This way, please!"

Wendy stepped forward and yelled, "Are you a waiter here? How can you be so clueless!"

The manager quickly ran over, "Miss, this is our boss, Mr. Torres. If you have any questions, I can assist you. He only attends to guests in the luxury suites."

The boss frowned and glanced at him, "You take care of them. I'll take our esteemed guest upstairs."

He then turned to Victoria with a fawning smile, "Ms. Hamilton, this way, please."

Ella couldn't believe it and muttered, "No way, that can't be true!"

Natalia, equally shocked, asked the manager, "Are you sure there's no mistake? She's going to the luxury suite? But she's just an ordinary person!"

The manager shook his head and smiled, not wanting to explain further, "Miss, I think you must be mistaken. Your regular suite number 7 is now available. Would you like to go now?"

He thought, 'How ridiculous. The luxury suite is the only one, while there are twenty regular suites. The difference is huge. How dare they challenge the guests of the luxury suite?'

Ella's expression darkened. She was utterly embarrassed and wanted to leave immediately.

However, Natalia didn't want to miss the chance to enter a suite at the Royal Sapphire Bistro. She held onto Ella and said, "Ella, let's not worry about her. Who knows what means she used? Your regular suite was booked with your family's status. Let's not waste it."

Lila also tried to please, "Yeah, Ella, you promised to treat us. We've been waiting and are hungry."

Ella quickly composed herself. At least she couldn't be embarrassed in front of these people. 

Forcing a smile, she said, "Of course, let's go in. Order whatever you like, it's on me."

"Yay! Ella is so generous!" The three cheered together.

By this time, Victoria had already reached the third floor. Eric was emerging from a suite and greeted Victoria.

"Victoria, you finally made it."

Victoria nodded, "Are they all here?"

Eric replied, "Yes, just waiting for you. And this is?"

"Mira, my friend."

At that moment, Ella looked up and immediately exclaimed, "Charming Four? Eric?"

Natalia followed her gaze, "Yes, it's him. No wonder Victoria is so confident. She knows Eric!"
