Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 424

Vivian Zora was the human resource manager of the restaurant. She had sharp eyes and a large mouth. Her appearance was particularly sharp and sarcastic which earned her the nickname 'Zora the Skinner' among the staff behind her back.

Her specialty was buttering up her superiors and then turning around to undermine the benefits and wages of the restaurant's employees. For example, she embezzled the attendance bonus of the two apprentices for her own gain.

When the two apprentices found out and confronted her, she sent her lackeys to threaten them while arrogantly declaring that they could either work or get lost! After all, there were plenty of people willing to take up such low-level positions like apprentices!

Emmanuel couldn't stand by and watch, so he stood up against her lackeys and fought for justice for the two apprentices.

Since her lackeys couldn't do anything to Emmanuel, she held a grudge against him.

Now that he wanted to resign and loavo, Vivian deliberately withheld his salary as a form of revenge.

At this moment, she took the opportunity to complain to the general manager. "Madam Lofis, this waiter has been working in our restaurant for less than 15 days and now wants to be paid even though he's quitting midway. It's really shameless. So, I brought him here to see you!"

The general manager's name was Mariah Lofis. She was 38 years old this year, but she wore pink cat-eye glasses to appear younger. Frankly, that did nothing for her complexion as it only highlighted the fact that she was an old shrew!

Vivian was her trusted confidante as she was cultivated by Mariah herself. Of course, Vivian was able to act recklessly in the restaurant because Mariah was just as dishonorable and cruel as her. They excelled at teaming up to exploit the staff and generate profits for the hotel.
At this moment, Mariah took a sip of coffee before sizing Emmanuel up. She didn't expect this male waiter to have such a good physique!

He looked strong but not greasy, and his muscles didn't appear artificially
enhanced.

A faint covetous light flickered in her eyes, but she maintained a calm demeanor on the surface.

"Miss Zora, you're being too harsh. It's only natural for someone who has

-Worked to receive their wages!" Mariah stood up and walked toward Emmanuel while speaking.
Vivian was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Mariah to speak up for

Emmanuel. Was the sun rising from the west?

However, she quickly reacted and wondered if Madam Lofis had taken a liking to the man in front of her.

Although it was a bit unexpected, as the saying went, the sexuality of a woman increased as their age increased. Mariah had been divorced for ten years, and she probably hadn't had a man to nourish her in all those years. Perhaps she was secretly desperate for a man now?
Was she trying to keep a man for her pleasure?

While Vivian despised Mariah for giving into her baser instincts, she nodded and smiled obsequiously while saying, "You're right. I will heed your orders."

Mariah ignored Vivian and reached out to touch Emmanuel's cheek. "How is it? Is the work hard?"

Emmanuel was startled and quickly took a step back. What was going on? Did the general manager really care about the employees like this?

"It's a bit hard, but it's all for the wages," Emmanuel said while maintaining a distance and a wary look in his eyes.

Mariah's expression instantly changed when she saw his actions. Her eyebrows suddenly twisted, and her eyes became incredibly sinister.

The number of men she took an interest in was extremely rare, and this loser in front of her didn't know what was good for him!

Did he still expect to be paid?

He was simply delusional!

"Madam Lofis, I have been working in the restaurant for 14 days. Please pay me according to the rules."

Once again, Emmanuel voiced his demands. Although he had come to Onza to work as a way to divert attention and avoid arousing suspicion about his journey to the Northern Region, he believed that if he had worked, he deserved to be paid for his efforts.
