StarIn Shine Hotel is a hotel with the largest membership in the Rhineland area. The hotel is popular with many people because it is equipped with a mall area, restaurants, a super magnificent swimming pool, and other facilities that pamper its visitors.Someone must be a member at the hotel in order to enjoy the various facilities available. Another option to get in is through invitations from members with a minimum level of Gold.There are four levels of membership, starting from ordinary members, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and the highest is Diamond. Each has different rights and conditions.Unfortunately, just to become a Gold level member is not an easy thing. Someone who gets it is usually an important person with a high social status.Now, Jack was standing in the hotel courtyard to attend a reunion invitation held by his college classmates. He looked casual wearing a gray t-shirt and jeans. A black leather sling bag also complemented him.Actually, this was not the first time for
In order to avoid a similar situation that occurred on the night of his engagement, Jack decided to walk down to the hotel lobby by himself. However, on his way, the guards continued to insult him."If Mr. Lechter finds out that you stepped on the marble in his hotel, I'm pretty sure he'll point a revolver at your head! Then, boom! Your head explodes! Hahaha," the guard said as he approached the main entrance."Wait, are you referring to Mr. Robert Lechter?" Jack stopped in his tracks and asked."Who else would it be? Everyone knows he's the owner of StarIn Shine Hotel. He's notoriously cold and doesn't hesitate to commit crimes when necessary. So, if you still want to live, get out of this hotel. Get out!"Jack continued walking until he crossed the threshold of the door. Another guard was waiting for them there. "How did it go?" the other guard asked. The guard who was with Jack shook his head with a mocking smile at his colleague's question. "Just as his appearance suggests, he's
Jack returned to the third floor with Robert. When the guard standing in front of the restaurant saw him, he immediately panicked. Before a major disaster occurred, the guard took the initiative to approach the boss. He bowed low before Robert. "Mr. Lechter, I'm sorry. This is indeed my fault as well. None of this should have happened." The guard grabbed Jack's arm. This clearly surprised Robert. The guard said again, "I shouldn't have let him set foot on this floor. I know, I should have acted quickly by preventing him from getting out of the elevator. But, sir, don't worry. I will take care of this rascal now."Robert almost fainted at the insolent words of his employee. With great difficulty he apologized and showed his anger to the two guards at the main door, now the other guards were acting up again.Robert didn't even dare to look Jack in the eye. How had his errand boy so brazenly grabbed Young Master Roodenburg's arm?Even though Jack's face remained calm, Robert felt his
The sound of loud, vibrant music burst out as Jack opened the door to the restaurant. It seemed that no one had noticed Jack's arrival yet. He looked around, observing his old classmates. Jack smiled as he said, "Hello everyone!"Several people who heard Jack's words, turned their heads towards the door. One man then raised his hand. The music immediately stopped. People turned their heads to the right and left to see what happened.The man who had raised his hand shouted, "Jack! It's Jack Marshall!"Everyone followed the direction of the man who called Jack. They stood still for a moment staring at Jack who was still standing in the doorway.Jack smiled. He closed the door before stepping forward. "Sorry I'm late."The atmosphere was noisy again when some people approached Jack. Some of them gave Jack a warm hug or simply shook his hand before returning to their places.While the rest of the people remained standing where they were. The people seemed to be keeping their distance from
Jack's face was still calm. He accepted Gerald's business card, then nodded. "I'll do it.""Good!" Gerald smiled with satisfaction. To him, by accepting the business card, Jack had admitted that he was better than the pizza delivery guy. "Since you're already here, let's just forget about all the economic problems that plagued you. Now, it's time for us to have fun and eat!"People cheered at Gerald's call. They had been wanting to eat dinner for a while now. Not everyone got the chance to enjoy a meal at the hotel's luxurious Gold-level restaurant. They quickly made their way to the menu table that was filled with mouth-watering foods.The waiters served the people kindly. They placed the food on the plates as designated by each guest."Thank you," Jack said when the waiter had given him the food he wanted. He then looked for a chair to sit on.Jack looked around. His eyes fell on an empty chair. He walked over. However, just as he pulled the chair back, a man who was at the same tab
Luna seemed to let out a long sigh. "That's true. But I'm already under contract as a cleaning service. So, I have to finish my contract first.""I see." Jack held his friend's arm. "It's okay Luna. It's not a bad job. Think of it as a stepping stone. I'm pretty sure a woman like you will find a much better job someday.""Thank you, Jack. You've always been kind and never picky about your friends. If I have time, I'll take my younger siblings to eat pizza at your place."Jack then turned to Scott. "As for you, Scott. What do you do now?""I help my uncle run the convenience store." A heavy sigh escaped Scott's mouth. "I used to work at a hotel, as a human resources officer. I enjoyed that job. But, I decided to quit because I had to take care of my mom.""Is your mom sick?" Jack put down his food and focused on listening to his friend's story.Scott nodded. "She's had cataracts in her eyes for almost three months now. It's made her vision very bad. She once spilled hot water on her ow
Gerald felt as though he had been struck by lightning when he heard Elena's words. He smiled kindly and greeted Robert and the secretary, but received no response in return. Despite Robert's unsettling behavior, Gerald attempted to remain composed and responded with a wry smile.In order to avoid giving Elena the impression that he was being ignored, Gerald attempted to justify Robert's behavior as typical for important and busy individuals. "Elena, people who are very busy sometimes don't have time to be friendly. It's not that they don't care, but they are focused on their goals. Let's go meet with Mr. Lechter. I believe he has some good news for me, and I want to make sure he feels welcome.Top of FormGerald hurriedly followed Robert. Similarly, Elena was thinking of applying to be a member of StarIn Shine Hotel after seeing firsthand how amazing the hotel was."Why?" asked Elena when Gerald suddenly stopped."Look over there! Why is Mr. Lechter approaching the table where Jack is
Seeing Jack leave the restaurant with Robert, the people who had refused to share a table with Jack became very sorry. They cursed themselves for being so stupid. If only they had shared a table with Jack, it would have been them who now had the good fortune to have that luxurious dinner, and not Scott or Luna."If I had known Jack was so respected by Mr. Lechter, I would never have laughed at him.""I felt sorry for insulting him, too. We all know that Jack has always been very modest. Just because of his modest appearance and occupation, we thoughtlessly put him down. Oh, I even told him to sit by the toilet earlier.""Right, we've made a big mistake. In fact, during college, Jack was always on his best behavior. And now, he might be living a simple life, but who knows, he might be close to many important and powerful people in this city. Perhaps, he is also close to the Roodenburg family."If the reunion guests had been talking bad about Jack, now they were talking bad about themse
