Chapter 300: Chapter 300: The Only VIP
"What could I possibly know?"
Soon, Nathan Jacobs hid all other expressions, once again presenting his gentle and affectionate demeanor.
"Previously, didn’t Nina Quinn approach you? Did you two team up again?"
Is the old flame rekindled?
Holly Houston dared not ask that final question.
Because she also feared facing the fact that the person she had admired for so long might secretly reconcile with another woman, cheating on her.
"You’re overthinking. How could I possibly collude with someone as despicable as Nina Quinn after what she did to me?"
Nathan Jacobs felt disgusted just thinking about Nina Quinn now.
Moreover, not long after their breakup, this woman got involved with Justin Callahan.
A woman so accessible to everyone; if it weren’t for getting rid of her and the child she carries, he wouldn’t want to help her devise plans!
"But what did she come to you for that day?"
Holly Houston always felt that something significant must have happened to make two people who were in deep conflict meet that day.
"What else? She just wanted to retrieve the jewelry she left behind at my place. Just some junk; she thought I’d cherish it. I don’t know what she was thinking!"
There’s no way Nathan Jacobs would tell Holly Houston about the child.
After all, this matter involved Nathan Jacobs plotting against the Callahan Family of Esteria.
Even if they aren’t one of the four major families in Esteria, they are definitely not someone Nathan Jacobs can offend easily.
So for this matter, the fewer people who know, the better.
Thus, Nathan Jacobs casually found an excuse to brush it off, and he seriously warned Holly Houston, "Don’t ever mention Nina Quinn in front of me again; it’s simply nauseating!"
Seeing Nathan Jacobs angry, Holly Houston immediately promised, "Okay, okay, I won’t mention her in front of Brother Nathan again in the future. Please don’t be mad."
"If you accompany me to have French cuisine tonight, I won’t be mad!"
In love, Holly Houston is considered a fairly savvy woman.
So she quickly shifted the topic directly to French cuisine, showing that Nathan Jacobs was all she had eyes for.
"What kind of French cuisine has Brother Nathan so captivated?"
"I heard from a friend that there’s a newly trending French restaurant chain called Forbidden Fruit; their dishes are truly outstanding. I’ve always wanted to take you there to try it."
"Chain restaurant?" Holly Houston lost interest as soon as she heard it was a chain restaurant.
After all, they’re from distinguished families; visiting a chain restaurant might be laughed at by others.
"Darling, although it’s a chain restaurant, it’s incredibly popular, with customers lining up every day. The key is, they don’t have VIP services yet, it’s based on first come, first served."
Nathan Jacobs heard from friends who had been there that not only was the food excellent, but the service was top-notch, even better than five-star hotels.
Even his uncle, Miles Jacobs, recently became a regular there.
Recently, a little trend has emerged in their circle, where dating or dining out is marked by visits to the Forbidden Fruit Restaurant.
Nathan Jacobs has always considered himself a trendsetter, so he’d rather be late than miss such a fashionable trend.
"Is it really that good? Then let’s go experience it later!"
Hearing Nathan Jacobs raving about it, Holly Houston wanted to see it for herself.
"If we’re going, we need to set off now. Otherwise, we’d have to queue up too."
"So troublesome?"
Holly Houston disliked queuing the most because it made her feel akin to those of lower status.
"Just this once. I’m currently trying to find out who the owner of that restaurant is, hoping to purchase the restaurant and its techniques. If successful, you’ll be the only VIP customer of Forbidden Fruit Restaurant in the future."
However, up to now, the owner of Forbidden Fruit restaurant has remained incredibly low-key, rarely appearing publicly, and no one in the circle seems to know the owner.
Nathan Jacobs speculated that the owner might not be a native of Westmarch.
But it doesn’t matter; even if he can’t buy the entire brand and technique, Nathan Jacobs plans to invest a substantial sum into it.
That way, whenever he thinks of dining at Forbidden Fruit Restaurant, he can eat there anytime, staying as the shining star in the circle.
As for his plans, Holly Houston was unaware.
All she knew was that she was thrilled by Nathan Jacobs’ comment "the only VIP customer," and she immediately went to change clothes, deciding to check out the mysterious Forbidden Fruit Restaurant as soon as possible.
