Rich Nights of a Penniless

Chapter 8 Young Master...

Amidst the chaos, Nicolas was overwhelmed that his manager was finally here looking at him doing his duty, and after noticing his sincerity, he will be promoted to a better position.

But Leo had already planned about the position of that man.

In just a few minutes Mr. Roberts barged in a scramble, all that he saw was Mr. Leo, the young master who spent millions of dollars just for fun a night before, being dragged by a useless worker of his.

Leonard was so relaxed, he didn't even defend himself because he had his plans.

Soon as some kind of thunderstorm struck him, Mr. Roberts furiously stormed forward and forced a sharp kick on Nicolas's ass. Nicolas stumbled ahead and fell hitting his beautiful face on the floor.

Bleeding through his nose, a lump formed on his forehead, he turned around shockingly. Spectaculating what had happened but before he could even see the man who hit him clearly a roar echoed around him.

"What the hell do you think you are doing?" Mr. Roberts yelled without giving a second to the man to explain and everyone jolted to see who the forceful owner of the voice was.

All gaped as they found a rare guest among them, the head of the management department, Mr. Roberts.

They were shocked to see that he was standing in front of them. Startling and frantic he was here in a hurry and furiously shouting at Nicolas.

Why would he?

Mr. Roberts was a known person in all their offices, being someone with authority, he had full powers over all the employees in their branches.

He never visited this place before without any particular reason, but he did today and was totally fumed by that one employee.

All the spectators stood stunned. What had this Nicolas do to offend Mr.Roberts and why was Mr.Robert so anxious and terrified?

"Sir, I am really very sorry," he rushed over to Leo, holding his hand regretfully, his voice filled with guilt, "I am so sorry that I am late"

He looked unnerved, brushing gently Leo's collar where there was a slight crush on it. But more terrified and surprised were the audience around them.

Such a big shot, was begging this unknown man, what was going on? Who precisely is this man?

Mr. Roberts called for the manager and was furious at him as well when finally Leo opened his mouth.

"Was this the service you were talking about, Mr.Roberts?" Leo asked in a composed yet sarcastic tone. He chunked his shattered hair back with his hands. His eyes narrowed as he looked at the man, Nicolas gaping at them both, tending nill about his bleeding nose.

What is this? What was going on before him?

He was puzzled, more than his pain, he was terrified about the fact that he had made the mistake to piss off Mr. Roberts and his job was hanging on the brink.

"Please forgive me, Sir," Mr.Roberts politely apologized, then gritting his teeth turned to Nicolas,

"What are you doing, you scrub...? Lick on young master's foot and beg for mercy" he yelled with a grunt and Nicholas shifted his gaze at Leo, in disbelief.

Young master...?

He was sure that this man before him was a waiter at a shabby cafe that he visited in the evening just a few hours ago, how could someone's life changed dramatically? or was he just pretending to be poor?

What had just happened?

His mind was prowling around in the maze of thoughts but he thought it through that he was not mistaken it was the same man. He looked at Mr. Roberts and confidently tried to convince him,

"Mr.Roberts, you are mistaken, he is not what you think....!" before he could explain any further, Mr.Roberts strode to him and hit him with his boot, right on his face.

"You bloody trash...! Apologise...! right now..!" Nicholas rolled at a distance, his mind now got cleared that he had nothing that can be explained, if he wants his job, he had to set aside his pride.

He reluctantly crawled over to Leo with his head hung in disgust, he forced himself to utter a few words of apology. Still, his mind was reluctant to believe that Leo was rich.

"I.... a...am....sorry...Sir" he stuttered gritting his teeth.

Leo narrowed his eyes over him, all those trashy words from earlier flashed in his mind. The way Nicolas treated him before was awful, that Leo could hardly feel better.

Mr. Roberts made the initiative to cover up the matter.

"Take this man away from here" he commanded the security guards to take Nicholas away but Leo's mind was not satisfied yet.

"Oh...! Mr. Roberts, I am hurt so badly, and is this all you could do for my pride?" Leo mocked and turned around to get out of there.

"I better find another place to enjoy" his words hit like a huge blow on Mr. Roberts's face, how could he let a VIP customer go away just because of a mere employee?

"No, Sir, wait, it's great to have you here....! You won't be disappointed" he turned to Nicholas again, his demeanor turned devastating, and with his eyebrow raised he grunted,

"You are fired...! Get the hell out of here" Nicholas's soul jerked out of his body and so were the others watching them. An assistant manager, with a salary of about twenty thousand dollars a month, was fired just because he offended this man.

Who is this man?

What power did he hold that the management head was here trying to appease him?

All imagined Leo to be a powerful young master who could destroy their lives in just a few seconds.

There was no other option left for Nicholas, he fell over Leonard's legs and pleaded.

"I am sorry, Sir, please have mercy....please don't fire me, I will do whatever you want me to" he cried shedding his blood out when the security guards grabbed his arms to drag him outside the gate.

"Wait" Leo hissed after thinking for a while, then heaved a sigh settling himself at a seat behind him.

Crossing his legs across, he kept his foot on his knee so that his boot was swinging at Nicholas's face.

Nicholas felt that his chances are still alive, jolting near him immediately, he started wiping Leo's shoe with his shirt sleeve.

"Sir, please forgive me" he pleaded again, "I promise I will do whatever you ask me to do"

Leo rolled his eyes at him. The staff surrounding him all gaped in surprise, such a rude man Nicholas was, but now he was actually pleading with someone and wiping his shoe...!

It was a rare thing to see.

Some doubted that the scene before them was just an illusion, it was so rare to be true, what they were just catching a glimpse of with their own eyes.

"Ok, I will give you a chance to make it up" Leo mumbled and that cloud over Nicolas's head subsided where a slight satisfaction sprinkled over him.

"Thank you, thank you very much, Sir" he expressed his gratitude.

A sharp smile tugged across Leo's pretty face, he bend forward and whispered,

"Don't be thankful so soon dude" his words held a deep mysterious meaning that was above Nicholas's guess.

A huge crowd was gathered around them as this movie was way more interesting than the one they were here to watch. Some even captured these things on their phones to share on their social media.

Leo was escorted inside the multiplex in the most decent manner that any other VIP customer could have ever received. All the others returned to their jobs and places respectively.

A luxurious multiplex, a sophisticated and upscale cinema complex designed to provide the ultimate movie-viewing experience. It goes beyond the conventional movie theater setting, offering a range of high-end conveniences and services to cater to the discerning audience.

First and foremost, as they reached in, Leo was offered the most convenient personal chamber where his seat was cleaned by Nicholas himself as an act of gratitude. Mr. Roberts and Nicholas stayed back with two of the efficient waitress to serve him and the rest of the staff took their leave. As the door was about to get closed, Leo stopped them.

"I have a guest I am expecting," he said and everyone in there was surprised. They were curious to see the guest that this young master was waiting for.

They all thought it must be some exceptional beauty who will accompany him or that might be the richest man in the city who can discuss some business here or even thought that this young master might be waiting for some politicians with the highest position. Anything is possible for a wealthy man like him.

Another seat was set beside Leo, though that cabin has only one seat usually they made an exception by setting another one for Leo.

Leo's phone rang and he answered quickly. The one on the other side of the phone informed him that he has arrived.

"Oh, you are here....! Come in" Leo called him, and the door to the cabin soon opened with a slight creek revealing the driver.

All thought that the guest Leo was expecting was his driver but that driver moved aside revealing a dog standing beside him.

"Sir, I did as you said," the driver said and Leo nodded with a smirk.

He took out his phone and paid the driver for his work.

"What...! A dog...!" exclaimed everyone who witnessed that.

Mr.Roberts looked at Leo questioningly, as it was against the rules to bring pets to the multiplex.

"Sir, I am afraid, this guest of yours is not allowed in here...!" he let out concerned.

"Don't worry, I will pay for him and he won't make any trouble for you, as he will be taken care of, well" Leo replied. Though reluctantly, Mr.Roberts agreed.

"Sir do you want me to call someone to take care of your guest?" he asked because he thought that it will be better if there was someone who particularly keeps an eye on that dog.

"No, I have one" Leo replied.

They looked at the driver but that driver left after getting his payment. Then who...?

All those doubts ebbed as Leo stared at someone behind Mr.Roberts.

"Mr.Nicholas...!" Leo called him and he hesitatingly moved forward.

"Me... Sir but I...!" he looked at Mr. Roberts to help him out but Mr.Roberts understood that this was what Leo had planned to punish Nicholas and he silently moved away.

"Well I take my leave for now, I shall arrange everything else for you" Mr. Roberts fled away after greeting Leo once again.

Nicholas unwillingly forced himself toward that dog. Afraid of being beaten by it. Smelling gross, that dog growled furiously, showing its unfriendliness to the man.

In just a few seconds the whole room was reverberated by Nicholas's scream.

"Argh...Ahaaa...!"
