Who was Jenna Lockhart?
People might not know her in the first ten years, but everyone in Darlsbury knew that she was Zivon’s fiancée ten years later.
She was neat, decisive and a workaholic. She was also very strict and demanding outside, so she would never allow something stupid like that to happen.
But at this moment, she was actually interceding for the chefs when she was injured?
The madams helplessly stared at her, astonished.
The manager was also stunned. He had heard that both Young Master Burton and Mrs. Burton were people that they could not afford to mess with. Hence, he personally came here tonight to stand guard and take care of them.
Why would Mrs. Burton in front of him be so easy-going?
No. Young Master Burton was so angry just now, so he had to give an explanation for this incident. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would only invite trouble to himself.
He said seriously and solemnly, “Mrs. Burton, it’d be more reassuring for us to look into this matter. After all, this incident happened because of our dereliction of duty. The chefs deserve to be punished.”
Xavia was really anxious.
In the past three years, she had tried seeking countless jobs and knew that getting a good job was something extremely cherishable. So, she could never harm anyone.
She pursed her lips and said seriously, “Manager, there’s really no need for you to do that. In fact, I was also at fault because I wasn’t paying attention when I drank the soup. I won’t blame you. Don’t make a big deal out of it either. I don’t feel any pain now. You guys can retreat first. It’s fine.”
She was serious, determined and sincere.
Instead, her kind words and gestures made her seem to be begging him not to make things difficult for the chefs.
The manager felt that she was a gracious person. He really wanted to thank her and leave the room but when he thought of Zivon, he did not dare to do so and could only look over at Zivon apprehensively.
Zivon glanced at Xavia. When he was certain that she was fine without any major problem, he relaxed his brows. “Retreat. Don’t repeat the same mistake in future.”
“Yes! Yes! Thank you, Young Master Burton. Thank you, Mrs. Burton.” The manager was deeply grateful and bowed three times consecutively in front of Xavia before exiting the private room and heading to the kitchen for investigation.
The atmosphere in the private room calmed down.
Zivon took a step closer to Xavia and sized her up, “Are you really okay? Why don’t I ask Zayne or Fiona to come over and take a look at you?”
Keith also said, “You better let a doctor examine you lest other people worry about you.”
Both of them sounded concerned.
However, Xavia knew clearly that Keith was acting like this simply because he had an illicit relationship with Jenna under the table.
