Rise Of The Disgraced Heir

"Our reservation is in a few minutes." Ian announced as he got up. "We should head to the restaurant."

"Or we could have dinner here." Camilla suggested. 

"It's an idea." Ian said as he considered the suggestion.

"Oh, no." Seth said as he shook his head. "The two of you are going to take full advantage of Solaire Tower's full amenities. I'm pretty sure you don't even need to pay for dinner." Seth said with a laugh as he dragged the pair out to dinner.

"I can't believe I slept the whole day away." Ian said with a sigh as they descended in the elevator.

"Well, we did have an extremely eventful day yesterday." Camilla said with a laugh as the elevator doors opened.

Just as what had happened the day before, everyone turned their attention to the people stepping out of the VIP elevator. 

Everyone was aware that this elevator was only accessible to a select number of units in the building, and those units were not for sale.

According to the rumors that had spread, the only way that you could get those units were if you were someone truly important.

"I really hate it when they stare." Ian grumbled as they made their way into the restaurant.

"Mr. Lim, Miss Montero, this way." A waiter greeted them as he led them through the tables and to a secluded area at the other end of the restaurant.

"Ah, this is nice." Ian said with a smile as he took his seat.

Their table was blocked from the view of other patrons, while still providing them a glimpse of  the famous capital skyline that could only be seen from a select number of locations. 

"My manager thought that you would prefer a more private dining experience after what happened yesterday." The waiter said in a respectful tone as he handed them their menu.

"Thank you." Ian said with a smile. "I appreciate it very much." He said as he nodded at the waiter.

"We would also like to apologize for yesterday's incident." The waiter said. "If we had placed you in a more secluded area, none of yesterday's events would have happened." He told them apologetically.

"It's not your fault." Camilla told the waiter. "To be honest, it was quite entertaining to see Ian in a different light." She said with a slight laugh, making Ian roll his eyes at her.

"It's no one's fault." Ian said reassuringly. "The only person to be blamed is Manuel Juan and his sister. They should have acted accordingly."

"Thank you, Mr. Lim, Miss Montero, for understanding the situation." The waiter said with a bow. "Most people would have blamed it on us."

Seth laughed at the waiter's comment.

"Do you really think these two are most people?" He said with a grin.

"You know Seth, if anyone is to blame, it should be you." Ian told Seth with a cunning smile.

"What? Why me?" Seth asked as he gave his friend a confused look. "I wasn't even in the building when that happened. Had I known I would have happily joined in the fray."

Camilla suddenly laughed as she realized what Ian meant by the events being Seth's fault.

"You really don't get it?" Camilla asked as she stifled her laughs.

"What?" Seth asked as he gave her a confused look. 

He was clearly unaware of what Ian had meant.

"Seth, why were the Juan siblings here?" Ian asked his friend as he smiled knowingly.

Seth was a smart man, he just liked to over think things. That's why he didn't understand the joke at first.

"Oh shit." Seth said as he laughed at how long it took him to realize what Ian meant. "They were here to see me." 

"Bingo, so if anyone is at fault, it's you." Camilla said as she shook her head.

"Why did you put them in such a publicly visible spot?" Seth asked the waiter.

He knew for a fact that the VIPs living in Solaire Tower had their own dining area, the space they were in was one of them.

The other tenants would pay anything to have their meals where they were now seated.

"We thought that they would like to boast of their status." The waiter explained. "After yesterday's events we came to the realization that Mr. Lim and Miss Montero are nothing like the other occupants of this building."

"You should have read their file." Seth said as he shook his head. "They are both quite low key."

"There was nothing about it in their files." The waiter explained. "We are only allowed to know a limited amount of information about them, so we had to adjust on the fly."

"Kudos to you and the rest of the staff then." Ian praised with a nod. "Now if you will ignore our friend we are ready to order." 

"Yes, ignore me." Seth said with a laugh.

They quickly gave the waiter their orders and the man went off to the kitchen to have them prepared.

"This is a really nice view." Camilla said with a sigh as she looked out the ceiling to floor window across their table.

"Many of the tenants would kill to eat here." Seth said with a laugh.

"What do you mean?" Camilla asked.

"This room is only accessible by the tenants of the VIP floors. Other people can't eat here, no matter how important you claim to be." Seth said with a shrug.

"I just want to eat in peace with my friend." Ian complained. "Why does it have to be such a highly coveted spot?" He grumbled.

"I think everything you have now is something a lot of people would kill to have." Seth pointed out.

"Seth, you can't tell anyone about us being under the direct employment of the CEO." Ian said with a frown as he looked at his friend.

"As long as you don't tell anyone that I'm the son of a powerful mafia family." Seth said with a chuckle. "Of course I would never tell anyone. I know the CEO has his reasons, he is a smart man."

"Thank you." Camilla said with a sweet smile.

As they waited for their food Seth's phone began to ring and he had to excuse himself.

Ian and Camilla watched as his expression changed from happy to angry in a matter of seconds.. The pair looked at each other, worried about their friend.
