Kagern's words stung Jennifer like a scorpion. She remembered saying them. How arrogant and overconfident her tone was when she said she would lick his shoes if he could pay.'Let me just apologize!'With her head lowered, she said, "Sir, I'm so sorry! I was just... joking!"When a few seconds passed without receiving any reply, she decided to raise her gaze only to see Kagern staring at her with a mockery smirk on his face, his gaze unwavering.'Is he really going to make me lick his shoes?'She shuddered at the thought of it but summoned her courage to say, "Sir, you cannot tell me to lick your shoes. It was a joke!"Both Kagern and Bingle were quite but Jennifer's guilty conscious pushed her to keep talking."Miss Spears, I'm the hotel's receptionist. Doing as he suggests can bring disrespect to the hotel."When Bingle heard her name being mentioned, she snorted and said, "So, was it an honor when you disrespected him?""No! But...""No buts! Do what you said you would do and don't
"How dare you remain seated while I'm talking to you? Didn't your parents teach you how to respect the elders?"The man's voice was so high as if he was telling the whole city. All eyes in the restaurant shifted to their table, making Belinda nervous. She was going to stand up but Kagern touched her hand and signed for her not to.Seeing their hands touching one another's enraged Mr. Hako even more. "Stand up, you bitch! This is not where you get to sexualize each other."Kagern would have said something but Belinda had a reply ready. "Mr. Hako, are you blind or something? What's so sexual about holding hands?"The people around nodded in understanding, making Mr. Hako feel embarrassed. He was not the type that accepts defeat, though. He said, "Do whatever you want but not in my hotel!"This time, Kagern couldn't contain himself anymore. "Your hotel?""Of course! My hotel!"Mr. Hako was one of David's distant relatives who became bosses in Golden Heart Hotel after the Hako family
This piece of news stirred the crowd as if a snake was released among them."Miss Spears loves Jayden," said one of the waitresses who once saw Bingle staring at Jayden contemptuously. "That's why she's doing all this. How else can a waiter pay 10 million dollars?"More people joined the gossip, giving Mr. Hako a chance to speak. "He just paid for membership? Ha! What's bullshit! Miss Spears, be wise and step back if you still love your job. Don't confuse this to one of those leftover situations where you got to speak for him.""Don't be ridiculous Mr. Hako!" Bingle replied as she took a few steps toward him. "How can I lie about such things?"While replying, Mr. Hako glanced at Kagern. "He's young with blue eyes and a nice physique. You are aroused when you see him so you're compelled to lie for him."Every waiter and waitress broke into laughter mostly because of how familiar Mr. Hako's answer was.They had heard it countless times and they knew that it was the other way around. H
Bingle didn't want another prolonged conflict so she said, "She's with a V-VIP client."The man wandered his eyes around but didn't see any VIP client. Just Bingle, a waiter and a waitress... plus a few gorgeous women in black. Thus, he felt like asking but Kagern raised his VIP card before the man could open his mouth. He too was tired of dealing with the Hako fools.First, it was David Hako cheating on him with his girlfriend and refusing to give him his money, then Mr. Hako from the hotel restaurant and lastly, this fool in charge of the Golden Pathway. He was tired of seeing their similar faces and listening to their similar arrogant voices.As for the man, he stepped back and bowed to Kagern when he saw the golden card in his hand. It had been 5 months since he saw another one of those cards. Many people bought membership of a million dollars but not even a dozen had bought the 10 million dollar one since the establishment of this hotel. So, though he knew Kagern to be a waite
"Bro, we're in trouble!"Upon hearing the word trouble, Kagern didn't want to hear the rest before jumping into the car and telling the guy holding the door for him the location to Eric's place. "Lorenzo Residential Area. Block 13.""Copy, sir!" replied the bodyguard as he closed the door and instructed the others to start the engines. On top of being his best friend, Eric was Kagern's editor. All his scripts were there. Thus, the fact that Erica was his twin sister didn't matter. Kagern didn't care bumping into Erica there or what. He just needed to save his manuscripts.Meanwhile, Eric continued explaining the situation. "Some guys in black just showed up at my door, called me a thief and locked me inside of my house," he said in an angry tone.Though it was a phone conversation and Eric could not see it, Kagern couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows. "Called you a thief?"Eric let out a sigh before answering, "Sorry that I didn't tell you but the gangs from yesterday gave me a co
Normally, Belinda could have got scared after seeing Kagern pinned on the ground, the culprits licking their lips and making such vulgar comments about her. However, she knew there was a group of skilled and strong men ready to step in for their rescue if things continued going south.That's why she kept quite and just glanced at Kagern... of course with a questioning look.Kagern was no fool. He could read all the questions on her face; one of them he deduced as, 'You're rich now. You have bodyguards. Why let these brats treat you like this?'He could only glance at Eric's house as a reply to her silent questions.Belinda, too, was no fool. She knew what he meant by gesturing at the house.Eric. Now that these guys said they were here to kill, he couldn't risk acting rashly. What if Eric was with one of them? If his bodyguards attacked the ones outside, the one inside might harm Eric. Bearing this in mind, he glanced in the direction he had left his bodyguards into so he could war
Kagern could see it from ten meters away, a few steps behind 5 girls who liked it when a person called them Naughty Girls. He was always told to mind his own business but he didn't think picking up a card for a classmate was something bad. That's why he picked it up and took a few fast and wide steps toward the Naughty Girls."Excuse me, miss!" he said as he tapped Karen on the shoulder. He was a few meters away when the card fell but he had seen who it fell from. Karen. Naughty Girls had earned themselves a reputation of being arrogant and spoilt. They thought themselves as not-on-the-same-level as other people at 4TA University. Now... now someone like Kagern was tapping on their leader's shoulder.They turned around all at once, wearing mockey expressions on their faces. They were ready to teach him a lesson. Kagern had no intention of being misunderstood so he hurried to explain himself. "You dropped this!" he said, his gaze fixed on Karen.To his surprise, Karen gave him a
As soon as Karen saw Kagern, her face brightened with a mischievous smile, turning into a wide grin as if met an old friend. "Oh! What a surprise!" she exclaimed as she walked towards him. Her bodyguards walked close-by. "I didn't know you're a thief in real life.Like usual, she wore a designer dress that hugged her womanly figure, as white as her silver hair and with a slit that left her right thigh exposed. 'Only if her actions were as decent as she looks!'With this thought, Kagern took a step to meet her, angered with her comment. He said, "I'm surprised that you still remember me. After all, you've bullied too many people in your life to remember their faces. But let me advise you, mind your words! I'm not a thief.""Ha! What are you doing here if you're not a thief then?""Heard you called my friend a thief and sent your men to kill him so I came," replied Kagern.By now, Karen was a few inches from him. She glanced at Belinda, then said, "Oh! So your friend is the thief? She
