Losing Everything

Ronald, who was not far from the scene of the dispute, approached William and Andre. "Why are you fighting here? Don't you realize that you're ruining the image of this restaurant?"

Andre immediately bowed to Ronalad. "I'm sorry, Sir. I only reprimanded William because a customer complained about his service. It seems like he had some problems with his girlfriend, so he wasn't really concentrating on his work. Maybe he should just take a break, let me do his work."

Everything Andre said was a lie, but Ronald seemed to believe it.

"He's not telling me that, Sir. He lied." William defended himself because he didn't want Ronald's judgment to be bad for him.

"No need to defend yourself, William. I have already reprimanded you. Look, once you make trouble today, I will fire you on the spot. You should be grateful that I kept you here. Instead of behaving yourself, you have the nerve to lie to me. You called earlier that you couldn't come to work because you were sick, but it turns out you just had a problem with your girlfriend."

William looked down at Ronald's words. This wasn't fair. In fact, it was Andre who had been provoking him all this time. Why was he the one being scolded.

"Now hurry up and deliver the order at table 10. They've been waiting since earlier because you're working so slowly!" Ronald ordered William.

"Yes, sir."

William brought a tray with two empty glasses and a bottle of wine to the table mentioned by Ronald. He had to be careful now because after all he needed a job to continue his life. He would work hard and become rich so that Selena would regret leaving him. Although it was impossible for him to beat Tom's wealth, he was a son of a rich businessman..

William's eyes widened and his chest rumbled when he saw the two people at the table he was about to serve. Tom, who was sitting opposite Selena, took Selena's hand and kissed it. The tray William was holding fell over and made everyone in the restaurant look at him. Shattered glass was everywhere and the wine whose bottle had broken splashed on Selena's dress.

"Oh my, my expensive dress!" squealed Selena as she stood up and looked at William.

Tom also stood up and moved to see the state of Selena's cream-colored dress which was reddish from the wine.

Tomlooked at William. "Do you know how much this dress costs? Even if you sold your heart, you wouldn't be able to afford it."

William was so angry that his hair was on fire. But, he realized his position as a servant. "I apologize."

Selena looked at her hands in front of her chest. "Apologize? You think by apologizing, my dress will be clean again?"

"I can't believe this restaurant employs someone as incompetent as him," Tom said. "And I can't believe you lived with him. How could you stand staring at his ugly face every day, Darling?"

Selena rolled her eyes. "I lost my appetite looking at his face. I didn't even know someone like him could work in this expensive restaurant."

William didn't understand why Selena was insulting him now. Just because she had a new rich boyfriend didn't mean that the year they had spent together was gone, right?

Tom took Selena's hand. "Come on, darling, we'd better find a place to eat where the waiter is better than this place."

"Customer, I apologize for the negligence of my staff. Don't leave yet. As an apology, I will ask another waiter to reserve our VIP room for you," Ronald said, trying to hold Selena and Tom back.

"No need, if I want to eat in the VIP room of this restaurant, I already did. I don't want to eat in a restaurant that doesn't know how to choose waiters," Tom refused.

Selena grabbed Tom's arm. "Come on, Darling. I'm going to throw up when I see that trashy man's face."

William's chest thundered at Selena's words. The man she called trash had once made her life.

"Follow me!" Ronald commanded William, then quickly stepped from the dine-in room.

When they were in the kitchen, where there were only restaurant employees, Ronald immediately slapped William.

"You bastard! Not only did you break an expensive wine, you also made this restaurant lose a potential customer."

William stood straight on the spot. He just clenched his jaw to stifle the sting on his cheeks.

"Look, that wine cost $20,000. You think a poor guy like you can replace it?"

"I'm sorry, Sir. I won't do it again. I'll try to pay for it with my salary."

"You think this is a charity foundation? I don't want to know, tomorrow you have to bring the money. Otherwise, I will report you to the police. Also, starting tonight you are no longer a waiter in this restaurant. You can only make a loss."

"No, sir. How can I pay the compensation if I'm fired."

"I don't care how you do it. This place is only for competent people, not useless people like you." Ronald called out to Steve who was there with a hand code. "Drag him out of here. I don't want to see his face anymore."

Steve happily grabbed William's arm. Andre, who didn't want to lose the opportunity to get rid of William, accompanied Steve. The two men dragged William from the kitchen and out towards the garbage dump. They pushed William until he fell next to the garbage.

"Trash like you belongs here," said Andre.

Steve laughed, then spat and hit William's hand. "Get out of here! You stink like a rat."

Being dumped by Selena and losing his job didn't seem to be enough to subvert William, now when he arrived at the front of the apartment, his belongings were already outside. And Carol, the owner of the apartment, was standing waiting for him.

"I've been waiting for two weeks, but you haven't paid the rent. I've been patient enough, but this is the limit. Pay now or get out of here!"

"Didn't Selena already pay it? She said she paid this month's rent."

So far, William had always paid the rent directly to Carol. However, before going on vacation, Selena asked for the rent and said that she would pay it to Carol.

"You think I'd wait like a fool if Selena had already paid it? Hurry up and pay the rent or get out of here right now."

"Carol, just give me a break this month. I really don't have the money."

"No leniency. I need money too, there are still many people who want to rent this apartment. Give me the key?"

Reluctantly, William handed over the key to the apartment to Carol. After Carol left, he sat down among his clothes that were scattered on the floor. She checked her cell phone which suddenly rang.

[A system will be installed. Did you receive it?]

Thinking that his cell phone system was requesting an update, William agreed to it. However, after he approved the installation of the system a bright light suddenly appeared. When he opened his eyes, he was in a room made of holograms.
