Chapter 38: When the table and chairs glided out of the restaurant, everyone in the pavilion was taken aback. Such an extrsetup was beyond anyone's expectations Connor immediately stood up, his eyes locked on the two figures rapidly moving in the air, his expression filled with concern. Domenic, Marc, and Terry felt chills run down their spines, overwhelmed by anxiety. They had heard of such thrilling dining experiences at Lovers' Cliff, but these typically occurred in secure, enclosed cable cars, guaranteeing safety. Yet, today, Marissa and Derek were held up by iron chains and lacked even the basic security of seat belts. Any strong wind could potentially lead to a disastrous fall. Marissa was clearly putting her life on the line As Connor watched them drift further away, he stormed into the restaurant and confronted the manager, saying, "How could you allow such a dangerous setup? Don't you care about your customers' safety?" The manager, visibly sweating, admitted that they wouldn't dare offer such a dangerous experience. But with his boss's explicit orders, his hands were tied "Get them back here immediately!" Connor demanded Stay connected at gVlnoves"Sorry, but the remote control is with my boss...

What do you think?" "No, I refuse to do this again!" Derek protested "You can't reject my invitations. I'm the hostess of the family," Marissa countered "You're not Tiffany Nash.
