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
Feeling that Gerald's explanation was too strange, one of the guests asked, "Gerald, if that's the case, why does Mr. Lechter have to go through all the trouble of putting on a show?"Another guest retorted, "That's right. Many people know that Mr. Lechter doesn't hesitate to raise a weapon against those who oppose or challenge him. He only needs to point his revolver at Jack's head, and Jack will surely leave without having to bow down, pay respects, let alone offer a dinner together.""One more thing, if Mr. Lechter really came here to get rid of Jack, why did he bring a beautiful woman instead of a guard? Besides, it's too strange that his class has to handle such trivial matters. There are plenty of guards who can do that for him."Gerald swallowed before smiling. "My friends, the reason is obvious. Mr. Robert Lechter and I have a good relationship. As much as I respect him, he respects me greatly. What you should know is that despite his cold reputation, he takes customer satisfa
Robert left the restaurant without bringing his two personal guards. Immediately, the atmosphere inside the place became very different. "Different" here leans more towards tense or eerie. The two guards opened their eyes wide, looking around, observing people with serious and unsmiling faces. Gerald swallowed hard, struggling to find good words to defend himself and refute the bad situation. Everything was too obvious!Robert threw Gerald away like trash and looked up to Jack like a master. It was all done blatantly and mercilessly. Gerald felt he had no pride to defend. Moreover, the presence of the two guards made it impossible for him to brag about Robert Lechter.Although Robert's two guards had already succeeded in making Gerald's breathing become labored, there was something even more frightening, namely the stares of his friends. Everyone was looking disgustedly at him.Gerald had opened his mouth to explain something. Although he knew that whatever he said could not change
