THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 423

Private Party?

Raven’s expression turned icy as she stared down the staff member blocking her path.

Unbelievable. Absolutely insane.

They actually dared to stop her?

Didn’t they know she was the guest of honor for tonight’s event?

If it weren’t for her, there wouldn’t even be a private party here tonight.

She snapped, her voice sharp with anger, “Why don’t you take a good look at me and see who I am!”

Just a server, and yet he had the nerve to get in her way.

The staffer flinched, clearly startled and unsure what to do. At that moment, the restaurant manager strode out, smiling warmly. “Miss Cartwright!”

Raven was the top VIP at Lakeside Bistro, always personally greeted by the manager. Every senior staff member in the restaurant knew her by sight.

She shot the manager a withering look, her brows drawn tight. “What’s wrong with your staff these days? Even I can’t walk in without being hassled? You should probably fire people like this before they ruin your restaurant’s reputation!”

In hospitality, service is everything. So the manager didn’t argue—he nodded repeatedly, placating her. “You’re absolutely right, Miss Cartwright. We’ll focus on training and make sure our staff meet the standards you expect.”

Raven snorted. “Lucky for you, I’m in a good mood today. I’ll let it slide.”

With that, she strode toward the dining room.

But the manager quickly stepped in front of her. “Miss Cartwright, please wait a moment.”

She let out an exasperated sigh. “Now what?”

The manager tried to sound apologetic. “I’m truly sorry, Miss Cartwright, but the restaurant’s been reserved for a private event by Master Gordon. We’re closed to the public tonight. Perhaps you could come back another day?”

He couldn’t have been clearer.

Raven wasn’t getting in.

She almost laughed at the absurdity of it. “Do you even know who Master Gordon reserved the place for tonight?”

The manager shook his head calmly. “I’m afraid that’s private information, Miss Cartwright.”

Even as a top VIP, Raven wasn’t entitled to that answer.
