Adrian scoffed, placing a hand on the counter while staring at Sophie like she was some piece of bug that just shat on his face. “Look here, don't you think you're a little too old for this kind of immature behavior? Security? No, I think you should call the manager, let him explain why he employed an irresponsible staff,”Sophie's face reddened with mad rage. She opened her mouth, stuttered, then snapped it shut again before stomping a hand on the counter. “W…hat did you just call me?”“I didn't mince words. If you were responsible, you wouldn't be picking a fight with a customer who was minding their business,”“I don't blame you. Give me some time and I'll make sure Layla locks your pathetic ass in prison once again. You won't get to see daylight ever again,”“It'll take the whole of Layla's minions put together to pull out a strand of my hair, talk more of inventing another stunt to land me in prison,” He chuckled, flipping his hair back. “Oh, you didn't know?

We need more business owners like that in this country,” She looked up at him. “What do you think about appreciating him?”Adrian's brows narrowed. “Appreciating him?
