CHAPTER TEN
YOUR TRICK WOULD NOT WORK ON ME Startled, James and Ayra both turned around to glance at the source of the voice.Ayra instantly became confused while James became stunned."Hadn't I told you that I'm no longer interested in you?"The voice continued angrily."Sarah, is this guy monitoring you around, why would he be here waiting for you?""Maybe he still thought he would be given another chance?"James' eyes became wide open when he heard what Sarah and her friends were saying.'What the hell is with these people?!"Ayra is already staring interestingly at the scene being played out at this moment.She already gained a little understanding of what was going on, so she does not intend to get involved."Did I not just tell you today, never to show before me again in the remaining of your life?"Sarah stared angrily at James as if she couldn't wait to butcher him."Who is this person?"One of the girls beside Sarah questioned while scrutinizing James.The moment Sarah heard the question, she became embarrassed.She instantly gave her two best friends an eye, communicating with them indirectly not say a word."This is a poor dude who said he is interested in me, could you imagine such a great insult?"She responded naturally, looking at James disgustingly.The instant James and Sarah's two best friends heard this, they became shocked to their core.They never knew that someone naturally good at lying like this exists in this world.Sarah's best friends instantly felt amazed, while James felt disgusted by this."Oh… so it is someone that does not know his level..."The person, a girl that looked so ugly in James' eyes also stared disgustingly at him."That's right, I wonder who even let him enter in the first place?"One of Sarah's best friends hurriedly added.Looking at these people overestimating themselves, James could only shake his head helplessly.He does not feel moved at all, nor was he mad.In fact, he does not feel a thing.It might be because they were unworthy of his attention.He decided to ignore them and go do what he came here for.'Wouldn't I become one of them if I joined them yapping like someone that had never seen wealth before in his life,' James thought.He gave them an expressionless glance."Let's go," James said to Ayra, then he waited for her to lead the way."Hun… he- he is walking out on you!"Sarah's other best friend sounded so exaggerated in shock, but James does not care, he was busy staring at Ayra.(Pa.....)A slap suddenly reverberated in the hall, making everyone around James stunned.Nobody was expecting that at all.Even the girl that told Sarah James was leaving has her mouth became wide open at this instant.Slowly, James raised his hand, still in shock, he touched the part of his face that felt so hot and heavy at this moment, then he began to feel pain.He wasn't expecting this at all.Not even in his wildest dream.He began to turn so slowly to gaze at his side."How dare you trash intend to walk out on me?" Sarah stared angrily at James, not even the slightest remorse could be seen on her face.A wave of enormous anger began to rise from within James.Anger that would cause great damage if it was to burst out.He clenched his fist with all the strength he could muster, controlling himself not to do something he would later regret."Boss..."Ayra became stunned.She also wasn't expecting this at all.Although she pretty much understood what was going on here, she never saw this coming for once.Anger also began to rise from within her.In their territory, someone had dared to humiliate her boss, who also happens to be the third most powerful person in their company.What sort of person would she be if she couldn't fight for him? Also, looking at James' current expression and body signs, she realized that he might do something he would regret if she does not step in at this instant."How dare you slap my boss with that filthy hand of yours?"The moment her voice sounded, everybody there finally turned their attention to Ayra.They were just noticing her for the first time.It might be because she was standing at the back, or because it was James their attention was focused on since the beginning, but nobody noticed Ayra before.They couldn't help but become dumbfounded when they saw how beautiful this person looksNone of them standing there could hold a cup behind her beauty.Their brain abruptly stopped working when they heard what she just uttered."You... You said he is your boss…. Are you mistaken?! This thing here could not even eat two square meals a day!"Sarah spoke what was in her mind and the mind of her best friends.Unlike their remaining friends that were there, they knew James the best, and knew the sort of work he does, so how could he be the boss of this beautiful and elegant young woman?Ayra does not care what they think, so she is not interested in talking with these fools."Send these sloths out!"James breathed forcefully after calming down a bit.He knew the more he saw this thing before him, the angrier he would be."What?"Ayra that was still planning what punishment to give this team that insulted her boss became stunned.She does not expect this new boss to be this big-hearted, of all things she thought."I want them to be blacklisted from every Mcdonalds' branch in the world," James said slowly and quietly, his voice hiding a deep fury behind it.Sarah and her friends had become completely and utterly stunned at this moment, they couldn't understand what James and this beautiful woman were talking about.Ayra who has realized that her boss has already made up his mind finally sighed.She dialed a number on her cell phone and told the person to send some security guards to her ASAP."Hahaha….."Sarah suddenly burst into a peal of laughter."Oh… you think you are big shots, hun?""How dare you try to deceive me? You think I would be scared with this little trick of yours?"She gave a ridiculing smile to James and Ayra."You…. I never knew you were a pretender like this in the past…"She spat heavily at James and automatically ignored their threat."She knew James the best here, and she knew how much James love her."'How could this bastard that is poor both in and out pretend to be rich and powerful?''Does he think I would be moved?''He could have found a better lie, though!'Just as she was busy with her conclusions and thoughts, some men dressed in security uniforms walked in and matched toward them. They bowed at the beautiful lady."Good evening Manager!"Sarah and her friends, "_"'Don't tell me this is real….'"You see these things here,'Ayra pointed her finger at Sarah and her friends."I want them out of here at this very moment, whether dead or alive.""Also, I want them blacklisted from every Mcdonalds' branch in the world from now on.""Yes ma'am."The men hurriedly nodded their heads respectfully without an ounce of query nor reluctance to her orders.They knew they dared not, even though they are very curious to know why their nice boss would give such orders.The men instantly gave Sarah and her friends threatening gazes, as if telling them to do as ordered, or else they would regret it."No… no… you can't do this to me… you can't do this… who do you think you are?! How dare you all embarrass us like this?"Sarah yelled angrily.At this moment, people began to take notice of the commotion happening there.They do not notice before due to how few people are there, but now that the security guards came in, they finally took notice."That beautiful young woman is the manager here," some people pointed to their partners."I think those girls are being chased out," some people instantly got the gist of things even though they do not know the source."They must have done something that angered the manager for her to give such an order."Feeling the huge commotion, Ayra told James to follow her, to which James complies to.He is already feeling his eyes become stung right now, staring at the sloths in his front."No… no, you can't leave, how dare you bastards do this to me…"She screamed hysterically and tried to rush toward James and Ayra that were walking away.The security men instantly dragged her back and began to pull her away, in tow with her already embarrassed friends that were covering their faces."How dare you bastards, how dare you? Do you know who my boyfriend is?! I will make sure he got your manager fired for what she did to me today!"[Wow!!!! What an interesting movie!]James that was feeling mad and depressed by what just happened was suddenly interrupted by his humane system.'You think this is a movie, right?' James questioned angrily in his head.[Is this not a movie?]James instantly sighed helplessly."You shouldn't think of someone like that again."Ayra who was walking in front suddenly stopped and advised James honestly.She thought James was sighing because of what just happened.James could only smile helplessly.How could he tell her that he wasn't thinking about Sarah anymore?Not that he wasn't thinking about her, but not in the way she thought.He was only blaming himself for being blind in the past.'How could I have sacrificed so much for someone like this in the past, why?"'I truly deserve this, for being stupid and ignorant.'James decided to stop thinking of this already."Thank you, hope the documents are ready?"“Sarah… did you not say that the boy is nothing, how could he be the manager's boss of this place?” Outside Mcdonalds’ building, six girls dressed in revealing clothes stood embarrassed at the side, waiting for the cabs they ordered to arrive. At this moment, confusion was written all over their faces as they waited impatiently for Sarah's explanation.They did not know that Sarah is as confused as them right now.After Sarah was dragged out, she finally has enough time to think through what just happened.Although she does not believe that James is the boss of that woman called manager, she knew he must be related to her somehow, or else, she wouldn't have fought for him.As for him being the boss, she found it ridiculous.‘With everything he has gone through in the past, how could he be the boss of this place, and I would not know?’Although she was busy thinking of this, she does not want anything to show on her face to her friend, or else they would start looking down o
“Good day sir!”Just as it reached James' turn to be attended to, the cashier instantly sat up straight.She gave James a praiseful glance as she recollected what he did yesterday.She could still remember clearly how shocked she had been yesterday when she saw James give a meal card worth $200,000 to a father and daughter duo.Where would one see such people in this world?Her eyes began to shine with bright light as she stared at himSeeing this young girl that is busy gawking at himself, James suddenly felt a bunch of goosebump crawl over his skin.He could not understand why she would stare at him openly like this.‘Perhaps she has fallen in love with my handsome and charismatic self.’[Congratulations to the host for successfully receiving the tag! narcissistic host!]James instantly blushed slightly when he heard that, he couldn’t help but retort in his mind; ‘Didn’t I take that from you?’“Hello,” James greeted awkwardly and waved his hand in front of the daydreaming girl.“I wo
After they finished eating their meals and allowed them to settle down, James told the father and daughter duo to follow him, and they left the restaurant.“Where do you live?” James faced the little girl that was currently busy glancing here and there.With her tiny voice, she replied; “I and father live in hun… hun….”The little girl entered a deep thought, her eyes squinted together, making her look extremely cute.She probably does not know how to describe where they live.James could only turn to face the armless middle-aged man who has kept mute from the beginning.“Sir, I know you might not want to owe me much, or you might be thinking I’ve gotten some objective or motives in mind for everything I’ve been doing….”The man suddenly raised his head to stare at James' face, his face completely blank, that one would not know what he was thinking.“I swear, my mind is very clean, okay? and I would beg you, for your daughter's sake, let me make her dreams come true.”The ma
Thankfully for James and his party, the girl with huge glasses has her car, a small pink car.James and his party could only cramp into the pink car which was then driven by the girl to a suburban district where there are a lot of nice and beautiful houses.The instant they got to their destination, James and his party became deeply stunned by what they saw.Although the building is not huge, it is truly the definition of beautiful.Just as if it was taken out of a cartoon, it sat there elegantly.“So beautiful,” the little girl muttered dreamily. Although the building looked like an animated building, it is by no means childish.Just more like a girlish house, with its bright colors.The attendant with huge glasses on her face also stared dreamily at the building in her front at this moment, almost becoming sad that it Is finally going to be sold out.This is her dream house we are talking about.“Please, come in sirs…” She unlocked the entrance door and invited James and his party i
James couldn’t help but stare at the middle-aged man whose eyes has began to ooze out tears like a baby at this moment. He felt speechless and does not know how to react, or what to say, but he knew he should at least find something to say this instant, or else they'd become the focus of attention.They were still standing by the roadside.“I know you have so much to say, but could we return home first.”James paused a bit to make sure the middle-aged man is getting what he was saying.“And I would so much hope you would not stand on ceremony.”Finished saying this, James hurriedly flagged the incoming taxi to stop.He did not notice the tear that fell from the middle-aged man again, nor the gratified smile that formed on his lips.“Intellectual Primary.”James said to the driver, then he opened the door so that the little girl and her father could enter.The little girl is literally getting restless at this moment, as she began glancing around happily.A smile formed on J
A few minutes later, the payment was completed, and the receipt was signed and given to James, along with some forms was which were given for him to fill.It is these forms that made James feel helpless.He knew that it was not in his right place to fill the form, instead, Lola's father, but what could he do when the other party is armless?Wouldn’t passing the form to him now, be like he was indirectly giving him dark humor?“You can fill it sir, she is now your little sister, so you can make decisions for her from now on.”The middle-aged man who has seen right through James' thoughts smiled and told James, making James embarrassed.“Can we take this home and bring it back when Lola resumes?”“Yes sir… yes sir… you absolutely can do that.”“Thank you, then we will get going.”Mrs. Teresa already stood up to escort them out.Since she knew that this person is a big shot, she decided to please him to till the end, even though he was only a young boy.She is feeling
“Uncle….. Are you not going to follow us home?” Outside Stomach Empire's building, the trio; James, Lola, and her father were currently standing beside each other. At this moment, all the excitement previously in Lola's eyes could no longer be seen, instead, her face has long been downcasted. James glanced below, at this little girl's face, and couldn’t help but ruffle her hair lovingly. “It’s okay, I would not be following you today, but hope you haven’t forgotten that I will be there on Sunday and Monday?” James questioned quietly. Unfortunately, this does not seem to brighten her mood a bit, instead, she looked like she would start crying anytime soon. James could only look helplessly at the middle-aged man whose name he still does not know. When the man saw this, a small smile instantly formed on his face. “Lola, be a good girl, okay? Big Brother needs to go and rest home, he has been going around since early today.” The man is also feeling speechless at his daughter this
“Leader, are you finally going to take up your position again?”In the fairy-like house James bought for Lola and her father yesterday, some figures dressed in black hoods from head to toe were currently standing respectfully before the armless man, their back bowed.All these figures were emitting a deep killing intent that could make someone faint from fear.James would have become stunned if he was here at this moment.He would have thought in shock that he was seeing the wrong person.The armless man has completely transformed into a whole different person at this moment.He has become a person that was reeking of blood.He is currently staring expressionlessly at the figures bowing before him.“No,” his voice sounded so cold, like the voice of a devil that could strip someone of their soul.“I did not have any intentions of coming back.He paused for a while, “for now at least.”“Oh….” The figures instantly sounded disappointed, their voices also sounding scar
