"Sorry, my friend didn’t agree, so..." Leo shrugged.
Laura’s manager was left speechless. He couldn’t believe someone refusing an autograph from Laura Kiels.
Previously, he refrained from mentioning Laura’s name when approaching people, fearing someone might take a video or picture and share it on social media.
However, after struggling to convince a few individuals, all in vain, he felt he had no other option.
Upon observing these two, who appeared to be ordinary employees and relatively young, he dared to offer them Laura’s signature.
Nevertheless, he hadn’t anticipated their refusal as well.
"You seriously didn’t recognize my talent? Fine! You’ll regret your decision, man... If someday we meet again and you ask, I won’t give you!"
The manager looks at the handsome man sharply before turning to the woman ahead.
When the manager noticed the woman ordering the same coffee that Laura usually drank, a brilliant idea immediately dawned on him.
The manager cleared his throat while smiling warmly at the woman.
"Miss... Hello... Wow! You look so pretty, dear!" The manager greeted Bella cheerfully. Looking at Bella’s striking features, including her flawless face and sharp gray eyes, he was shocked.
He couldn’t help but think that this woman had the potential to be a movie star.
’Should I recruit her to enter Stellar Entertainment?’
An idea to recruit her popped up in his mind. However, a second later, he dismissed the idea. There’s an urgent matter he needs to take care of.
He continued, "Miss, I will pay triple the normal price for your coffee..." His tone sounded urgent, but he didn’t cease to smile at her.
However, Bella only stared at him without expression. He continued again to convince her, "How about four times? No!? Alright... This is my final offer, five times... take it or leave it!"
Leo was rendered speechless, hearing this foolish manager’s words. How dare he challenge Bella’s calmness?
Bella narrowed her eyes at the manager, looking at him from head to toe as if she was starting to remember his face to take revenge.
After a few seconds, she didn’t utter anything but glanced at Leo and gestured to him to take their coffee. Then she walked away, leaving the manager looking at her in annoyance.
’Huh!? Why did she leave just like that? Did she agree or not?’ he mumbled under his breath.
"Miss, wait? How about our deal..." He asked, still trying to be polite while following Bella even though his patience was now as thin as paper.
"Forget it!" Bella said coldly without looking back.
The manager was even more annoyed, and his hot temper arose as if someone was boiling water in his heart.
"Seriously... Who are you? Why are you so arrogant?" The manager shouted.
He was really pissed off that someone was threatening him cruelly like this, ignoring him. It was the first time someone ignored him even after he confessed he was actually Laura Kiel’s manager.
The coffee shop wasn’t too big so all visitors could hear the manager’s conversation with Bella.
They were all surprised to hear the annoying fat man raise his voice as if he had just scolded someone.
Everyone now looked at him with their disdainful gaze. Then they turned to look at Bella and saw her stop before she reached the door.
Instantly, a little chatter could be heard among the coffee shop visitors.
"Wah, look... Look, that woman was about to piss off now."
"That fat man is really annoying. How could he threaten all people like his lowly peasant?"
