2024-10-29 19:42:56The man eventually turned around as the boy whom he believed to be the host had not yet taken his briefcase, which he was holding out in his hand. He shifted his gaze to Marcel after sharing another affectionate kiss with his flirtatious girlfriend.
'Excuse me! Are you alright? Please take this briefcase off my hands.' Once again, Marcel remained silent, patiently waiting for his turn in the queue. 'How may we assist you, sir?' the receptionist inquired upon noticing the disagreement between the two gentlemen. 'How can you help me when this incompetent individual, whom you consider as staff, can't even carry my briefcase?' He expressed his annoyance.'I apologize, sir, but I don't believe he is a staff member here. Our staff would not dress so poorly, and we have our own uniform,' she responded, giving Marcel a disdainful look. This clearly indicated that she recognized Marcel as the maintenance guy. How could she not? Marcel had been forcefully and shamefully removed from the hotel during his previous visit. She almost chuckled as she recalled that unfortunate incident. It was quite amusing.'What could bring him here again? ' she thought to herself."Oh! ah! silly me, he is not even worthy of being a staff member here, let alone touching my briefcase with his dirty, poverty-stricken hands." The man man snorted "Yet he acts as if he is the boss," his girlfriend affirmed."Can you believe it? If he is not employed here, then what is he doing here?""We apologize for the misunderstanding. I believe he is possibly here for repairs," the receptionist responded, although she had doubts as she was not informed of any malfunctioning systems.Hahaha!'"Really, just a maintenance worker," he arrogantly exclaimed while chuckling with his girlfriend."A maintenance worker would even be more respectable. Darling, let's spare ourselves this embarrassment and go have our dinner," his girlfriend suggested.The man glanced at Marcel and then smiled spontaneously. He reached into his pocket and scattered some dollar bills onto Marcel and then said"Just go and treat yourself to something nice and please stop polluting this place with your presence."Marcel observed the rude man in front of him and instinctively bit his lip. His prominent, thick eyebrows furrowed in anger, emphasizing the intensity of his emotions. However, he managed to restrain himself, mainly due to his hunger."We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. May we kindly request for your card?" The attractive woman states with a polite smile."Yes, certainly." The man hands over his 3rd class membership card to them.After a brief moment, they finished their transaction and were guided to their designated area."What can we assist you with this time? It appears that you are quite persistent. You have failed to grasp the intended message from our previous encounter," the receptionist stated, her tone abruptly becoming harsh and direct after attending to the man and his companion.Although the receptionist's words were abrasive, Marcel managed to maintain his composure."I would like to dine here this evening," he answered, his tone devoid of warmth.Hahaha!"You must be joking, right? Does this establishment resemble an ordinary, casual eatery? Know your place, young man."Marcel felt caught off guard, perplexed by the girl's apparent knowledge about his ploy at the restaurant just across from them, the Dick and Tom restaurant. Nonetheless, he was determined to continue.She pauses and then continued"I don't have all day you see, you either tell me what you want to repair or history will repeat itself" She was now referring to the last incident on Marcel's last visit where he was rudely dragged away by the giant looking security personnel on the demand of a lanky rich boy who felt bad when his girlfriend flirted with the handsome Marcel."Young lady please I will like to have my dinner here" one could sense little anger from his tone"Ok I can see you're a clown but sorry they is no audience for your kind here but since you insist that you want it the hard way I will help you achieve that"Frustration tinged her words as she addressed MarcelMarcel's comment only seemed to further agitate her. 'I understand that you may find amusement in this situation, but there is no need for theatrics. However, if you insist on taking the difficult path, I will assist you in achieving it.' With determination, she called someone for assistance and then turned her attention back to Marcel, who watched her intently. His coy smile sent a sense of unease through her.Please, can you get down here, we have a situation" she drops the phone to face Marcel who was busy watching her."Don't you think you're being a little dramatic, Emilia?" Marcel said as he smiled mischievously while calling her name based on the name tag on her breast side.Emilia is a fair beautiful girl with pretty long legs. Her hair was very combed and styled that one may think that she uses a whole day to make her hair look that beautiful."Dramatic huh!_, Good day mam" she attempted to reply but ended up greeting the young lady that appeared before them." What's happening here?" Ruby asks as she casts a fast stare on Marcel who was clad in a poor and worn out outfit."Ma, he said he wants to have his dinner here""And then?" She hurries her"Ma, he's just a maintenance guy and nothing else, he won't even be able to buy a single bottle of water here let alone getting a membership card" Emilia statedLooking from her perspective she then said to Marcel "Young man, please this place is not for your kind" she said trying not to sound too harsh and rudeRuby is the head of the food and service department of the hotel. She supervises and overseas activities relating to customers meals"How much is the membership card?" He asks reluctantlyJust then the security guard appeared, the same one that forcefully dragged him away from the hotel the other time.He was very harsh and rude to him. He should have at least put himself in his situation but rather because of the $100 being threw on him by the lanky lad, he turned into a war maniac using him as a punching bag"What brought you here again?" the security guard sounded with his voice being very deep and would probably send anyone running but not for Marcel who ignored him."We have three membership cards, the 3rd class membership worth $3 million, 2nd class membership worth $5 million and then 1st class membership worth $10 million" Ruby listedOn finishing this statement all eyes were on him. They wanted to have their moment. They have endured his untold confidence and rudeness.They can't wait to pounce on him even if it means running into his hut."How about I make 24 months subscription ""Oh! Common! He is bluffing " The guard responded

"That should be $240 million dollars" Ruby replies"Oh God, madam don't tell me you believe this …whatever " the security personnel laments in disbelief."Let's see," he said with a mean look as he brought out his card, a card like no other. The card landed on Ruby's hand. Everyone was surprised, one could sense their trepidation and uncertainty.'could it be that this guy is a rich folk, no it just can't be. He is just bluffing ''I will make sure he pays if this transaction declines. I will make sure he is disgraced and dragged out just like the other time' the guard thought to himself'hmmm, uhm.. a mere maintenance guy whose girlfriend left for another guy.
