Return Of The Unparalleled Lord

Chapter 8

“Mr. Jacquline, what are you doing here? I was not expecting to see you here.” The manager sounded like he was scared when he saw the man standing by the door.

The man standing by the door was the owner of the Phoenix Spring Hotel and the city’s third richest man. He was not the best of people to hang around but it was known that he hardly came by his Hotel.

“I know you might think that there is a problem here but I will assure you that everything is being taken care of and you will no need to worry about anything.” The manager was looking at Mr. Jacquline as he was looking at the way the guards were holding Keith like he was some kind of criminal.

“Mr. Jacquline, your manager is one of a kind. There is no other person on this planet earth that would be able to handle such a problem without messing up and it would have the end of this establishment.”

Jared butted in, he was trying to make the manager sound like a good guy to the hotel owner, he was only doing it to make sure that he was seen as a good man and that his respect at the hotel would rise.

“Unhand that man this instant,” Mr. Jacquline spoke up and he was not smiling or even laughing, he was looking at the guards and they were surprised that he had told them to let go of Keith.

“But sir this man came here and he talked trash about one of our most respected customers and he also said that this place was filled with trash. I was only trying to make sure that he did not get away with all those insults.” The manager was nervous but he didn’t know why Mr. Jacquline would order for Keith to be released.

“I told you to release him don’t you know when you are given an order!” Mr. Jacquline was not happy and it was strange that he was even yelling for someone like Keith.

The guards dropped Keith, and everyone there was a bit shocked that Jacquline would be angry that Keith was being held. It was like he knew who he was but they didn’t want to know.

“You don’t understand Mr. Jacquline, this man is meant to be behind bars. He was trying to put allegations in my father’s name. I am Jared Williams, I have a gold card and I am one of this hotel’s most important customers. You have to listen to me,”

Jared was irritated, he wanted to know what was going on but there was nothing clear to them why Jacquline would side with Keith.

“Oh is this about cards then, I wonder Mr. Jacquline is this how you are running this place? Marx told me you were doing a good job taking care of it but if you are letting filth like him have the chance to do whatever they want then you are far from making this place a success.” Keith looked at Jacquline.

Everyone there knew that there was something wrong and that Keith was not who they thought he was. “Who in the world is he? There is no way the owner of the hotel would take this from a common man like this.”

“Who do you think you are to talk to Mr. Jacquline like that? He is the owner of this hotel and he is not at your level.”

“Silence! Don’t you know when you are being told to keep quiet, I am here trying to fix the mess you caused and you still want to rant your mouth. I know you think that there is anything you can do here?” Mr. Jacquline shut the manager up, his attitude was bizarre and there was no explanation as to why he was behaving like he was in front of the devil.

Mr. Jacquline turned to Keith and bowed his head shocking everyone present in the Hotel Lobby, “I am sorry sir, I was told you were going to show up here a the Hotel but I didn’t know you would be here this evening.”

“I see you were not informed that I was going to swing by this evening, I didn’t expect you to even know that I would show up here.” Keith smiled, his composure was one in a million.

Keith’s conversation with Jacquline was so calm, it made everyone there know that Keith was someone that should be scared of but it was like they had messed with the wrong guy.

Eleanor was shocked to see that the city’s third richest was scared of Keith, she thought that there was something that she didn’t know about him. ‘There is something I am not seeing here, Keith is nothing but a stay-at-home husband and I know that he is no one of importance so why is this man treating him like there is something he can do.’

Eleanor was still trying to put what he was looking at together there was no way she would even think that Keith would have any importance in the city. She thought he was some kind of bum that needed help for the past three years

“I don’t know what you are doing, I know you must be joking. I don’t know what the both of you have together but there is no way you will want me to believe that this bum has something to do with the owner of the Phoenix Spring Hotel,”

Jared was not going to buy anything Keith and Jacquline told him, it was going to be one of the things he would not even think of doing at that moment. He was not going to believe that Keith was important to the Hotel.

“Don’t you dare speak in that manner; do you know who he is?” Jacquline was about to say something else but Keith raised his hand telling him not to go far.

“I know what bothers you is the fact that I am being treated like royalty, but you see there are some things your father’s money can't buy Jared Williams and this is one of those things.” Keith had a smile on his face that showed Jared that there was something he didn’t know.

“What in the world is going on here? I am not going to believe that you will treat this thing like he is something of importance when my father is one of the reasons why your hotel even has financing.”

Jared was filled with rage, he wanted to make sure he didn’t let Keith win the fight with him. ‘There is no way he is of any importance to the city, he is a bum and he will remain a bum.’

Jared was looking at Keith, it was still like a movie or yet an illusion to him that Keith was being treated like a far more important being than him.

“You know, I warned you and your friend there but you would not listen. But now you are left in shock and things are only going to keep getting worse and worse for the both of you.”

Keith was smiling, he was about to make sure that he made that encounter with them a memorable one and one that they would not forget.

“What in the world are you saying? I know that there is no way you would be thinking of doing anything. You are nothing but a failure and a bum!” Jared had let his anger get the best of him and it was going to be what would be his downfall.

“Mr. Jacquline, I would like it if you would relieve the manager here of his post and please make sure that the Willams are not treated like they are royalty when they get to this hotel.” Keith had a smile on his face that would show anyone there that he was not joking around and that he meant what he said.

“I know you are crazy, there is no way he would even do a thing like that because you told him to. What do you think you are?” Jared was losing his mind, he didn’t know who Keith was or how he was even talking to Jacqueline like something was holding them together.

He looked at Jacqueline trying to see if he would say anything.  Mr. Jacquline took a deep breath, “Okay sir, whatever you say.”
