Arnold set foot at The Diamond Rose Hotel. Seeing his arrival, the hotel workers' eyes fell on him. They started whispering to each other and laughing at Arnold.
“Look at that loser; he has no shame in coming to this hotel again. What does he want to do?”
"Look, isn't he the man who ruined Victor Galvoir's proposal last night?"
“Yeah, you're right. He was the one. What happened to him? Why is his hand bandaged?”
"If I were that woman, I would also choose Victor instead of spending my life with a loser."
Laughter could be heard from various corners. Arnold's eyes glanced sharply at them, and the workers just covered their mouths with their palms while holding back laughter. There was no fear of a loser like Arnold.
Arnold rushed to the reception desk so he could meet the manager. He wanted to prove that he could pay the fine, even though the hotel was still owned by his family.
Arriving in front of the reception desk, there were a couple who were being served by the receptionist. Judging from their appearance, they came from the upper class. The woman even carried a limited-edition Hermes bag. They asked the receptionist, and she answered with joy and a smile that never left her lips.
When they left and the receptionist saw Arnold, her expression suddenly changed.
“Excuse me, I—”
"What are you doing here?" The receptionist interrupted Arnold before the man finished his sentence. She looked at Arnold sharply and scanned his appearance.
Arnold wore clothes given to him by his grandmother. They were expensive clothes, but with hidden brand labels. The old money usually wears that brand of clothing.
'I think he used all his savings to buy these clothes. These clothes are neater and look expensive. Or maybe he bought it at a black thrift market,' thought the receptionist.
"Excuse me, I came here to meet the hotel manager who took care of last night's event," Arnold said in a higher voice.
“For what? Do you still have unfinished business? Oh yeah, you didn't get paid for your bad work last night. You've ruined an important event for someone like Victor Galvoir and made him angry," she quipped, rolling her eyes.
“I didn't come here to collect my salary. I came here to pay the fine!” Arnold replied in a firm voice.
The receptionist snorted. Her hand reached for the telephone receiver, but before she could make a call, the manager's arrival distracted them.
"There he is. You can talk to him," said the receptionist scornfully.
The manager grinned when he saw Arnold. The hotel was not very busy that afternoon, so the workers around there witnessed what Arnold was going to do.
Arnold's eyes thinned, and his facial expression looked annoyed with the attitude of the hotel workers who looked down on him.
The manager folded his hands across his stomach while snorting. "So, have you got the money to pay the fine?" he asked in a teasing tone.
"Of course. I came here to pay for that," answered Arnold. His eyes filled with anger, but he tried to calm himself down.
Instead of letting Arnold immediately pay the fine, the manager asked something offended.
“Where did you get that much money? I was suspicious looking at your bandaged hands; who knows, maybe you just stole and were beaten by people."
The workers laughed at Arnold.
“Watch your mouth!” Arnold exclaimed.
“Wow, how dare you! Who do you think you are?”
Arnold snorted, and a grin appeared at the corner of his lips. "I warn you that if you continue to try my patience, I will make sure that you will be fired from your job!" he threatened as he pointed his left finger. His eyes bulged with all the anger reflected in them.
"What are you saying?" The manager chuckled at Arnold's threat. “Who do you think you are? The heir to the family that owns this hotel?”
Arnold looked at the manager sharply, and without saying anything, he immediately took out a card from his wallet.
“Don't waste my time! Hurry, I want to pay the fine!” Arnold protested. Seeing Arnold's serious expression, the manager gave him the opportunity to pay.
"Okay, let's go to the reception desk."
Apart from the receptionist who was indifferent to Arnold earlier, there was another receptionist who had just arrived there. She smiled when she saw Arnold's arrival.
"Good afternoon. What can we assist you, Sir?" she greeted Arnold.
"You don't need to be friendly with him; he's just a loser who ruined Victor Galvoir's proposal last night," replied another receptionist.
"I want to pay a fine of 5,000 dollars," said Arnold as he handed over his card.
Even so, the other receptionist's attitude did not change. She accepted Arnold's card with a smile. Before swiping Arnold's card into the EDC machine, she looked at the card and saw that the design of the card was not like cards in general. It looked so exclusive and was certainly not owned by just anyone.
The payment was successful. The receptionist handed Arnold's card back. "Thank you, sir."
“Can I borrow a telephone from this hotel?” asked Arnold.
The manager and a receptionist did not want to accommodate Arnold's wish, but the friendly receptionist immediately agreed to Arnold's request.
“Of course, sir. Who do you want to call?”
Arnold handed her a piece of paper containing Sebastian's number. He wanted to contact the old man and report the hotel manager.
"Okay sir." The receptionist called the number, and the phone was connected.
"It is sir; the phone is connected." The receptionist gave the phone to Arnold.
“Sebastian, it's me, Arnold. I want the manager of The Diamond Rose Hotel named Dimitri to be fired right now!" Arnold ordered while glancing at the manager's name tag.
"Alright, young master. As you wish."
Arnold ended the call. The manager and a receptionist immediately laughed when they heard Arnold's order.
“Who is Sebastian? Is he your friend?” The manager teased.
"Just wait and see!" Arnold stepped out of the hotel.
Not even 5 minutes before Arnold left the hotel, the manager's cell phone suddenly rang as he returned to his room. He took out his cell phone and saw that the person calling him was the general manager.
"Good afternoon, sir," said the manager.
"Dimitri, from this moment on, you are no longer the manager at The Diamond Rose Hotel. You have officially been fired!”
The general manager's words were like lightning that struck him in broad daylight. His head was spinning wildly. He felt he had done nothing wrong.
“But why, sir? I didn't do anything wrong.”
"You stupid! You have made a fatal mistake. You've made Young Master Winster angry. No forgiveness for you!” The general manager immediately hung up the phone unilaterally.
The manager's phone slipped from his hand. His mouth opened agape, and he realized something. “Young Master Winster? Is that loser Young Master Winster?”Arnold went to a mall and bought a new cell phone. He logged into his email, and the important numbers stored on his old cell phone were backed up.Arnold also keeps Elizabeth and Sebastian's numbers. He messaged them and told them his new number. After finishing setting up his cellphone, he immediately contacted his best friend, Albert.The call was connected."Hello, who is it?" Albert asked in wonder when he saw an unknown number calling him."It's me, Arnold," Arnold responded.Albert's eyes widened, and he immediately straightened his back, which was initially leaning against the chair.“Arnold, what happened to you? Where have you been? I came to the park last night, but you weren't there. Is everything okay?” There was worried evidence in his tone."Yes, Albert, everything is fine. Last night, there was a little trouble, but it was that trouble that brought me luck. I'm very grateful, even though what happened last night was quite painful," explained Arnold. He smiled faintly.
Arnold has arrived at the building where the party was being held. The driver immediately got out of the car and opened the door for his master. Arnold's appearance looked different compared to the other guests. His hand, which was still bandaged, didn't allow him to wear a tuxedo, so he wore a black, short-sleeved shirt with black trousers. His appearance was very simple.When Arnold arrived at the entrance, the doorman immediately looked at him with probing eyes. He looked more like a waiter than a guest. If he was a waiter, then he shouldn't have entered through the door specifically for guests."Hey, what are you doing here?" snapped the doorman.Arnold stared at the man sharply. Without saying a word, he showed the invitation he had brought. The doorman's expression immediately changed. His face turned pale.“So-sorry, I thought you were a waiter. If you are a waiter, then you shouldn't go through this entrance," he said while looking at the invitation. Fear was evident in his voi
“Come on, Sebastian!” Elizabeth invited her grandson and Sebastian to leave. They were leaving people curious because there was no explanation from Elizabeth.Eric continued to stare at them, who were leaving, until they had disappeared from his sight. "It's possible that stupid guy is Elizabeth Winster's servant," he muttered.Arnold was invited to a room not far from the ballroom. The servants immediately lowered their heads when Arnold and Elizabeth arrived. They entered the room, and their arrival was greeted by a man sitting in a chair with his back to them.Realizing they had arrived, the man got up from his chair, and his gaze immediately looked towards Arnold.His eyes were sparkling with tears. His lips trembled and opened slowly. “Arnold.” He immediately approached Arnold and hugged him tightly.Arnold returned the 45-year-old man's hug. He could tell from that man's attitude that he loved him.“Arnold, this is your uncle, James Winster. He is your father's younger brother,"
Arnold snorted. What repay favors was Eric talking about? The man and his wife tortured Arnold, and they just threw him away. They have also caused pain in his body and left trauma, but they talk about repaying favors? How funny. Arnold sighed heavily before speaking. He tried to respond to the man in front of him with a calm attitude. “Mr. Johansen, you and your wife were the ones who chose to adopt me, and then you tortured me. I will never forget that for the rest of my life, so now don't ever talk about repaying favors because it's so ridiculous!” he exclaimed.“I don't understand why someone like Elizabeth Winster would employ you as her servant. Doesn't she know who you are? If she knew who you were, she would definitely fire you straight away.”“Watch your mouth, Mr. Johansen!” Arnold exclaimed while pointing at Eric.Eric grinned. “You don't even have a family, Arnold. It seems like your parents deliberately threw you into an orphanage," he teased.Arnold's hands were clenche
Seeing one of Elizabeth's servants nearby, Eric and Gabriel approached the man. He wanted to ask directly about the relationship between Arnold and Elizabeth.“Do you know who the young man is with Mrs. Elizabeth Winster?” Eric asked.The man nodded. “Of course I know who he is, sir. But I can't tell you."“Is he a servant?”The servant shook his head. “No, sir. He is not Madam Elizabeth's servant.”"So what? Mrs. Elizabeth Winster is his sugar mommy?” Gabriel asked bluntly.Eric immediately glared at his son and stepped on his shoes. He shouldn't have asked Elizabeth's servant like that, because if Elizabeth was offended, then everything would be over.“What do you mean, sir? Of course, Madam Elizabeth didn't hire a young man for such things. But what is clear is that he is not Madam Elizabeth's servant!" The servant answered firmly, and with an annoyed face, he immediately left there.After the party ended, Eric and Gabriel immediately left the building. Eric's gaze was still scannin
After washing his face and brushing his teeth, Arnold went to meet his personal assistant with his pajamas still on. Being rich gave him the courage to meet other people without feeling anxious. They wouldn't scold him or look bad at him, even if he was only wearing pajamas.The 45-year-old man was waiting in the living room. Seeing the arrival of a handsome young man with Elizabeth, he immediately got up from his seat and gave a greeting."Good morning, young master," he said as he bowed his body in respect to Arnold.“Good morning, Charles,” replied Arnold. Her grandmother had told him the name of his personal assistant.Arnold invited Charles to sit down, and they started talking about company tasks. Charles would handle everything, and Arnold would only order and approve a decision by signing documents. Charles had been chosen by James and Sebastian because of the man's abilities. Charles has worked for 20 years as a personal assistant to the richest businessman in another countr
The elevator doors opened, and Arnold went inside followed by several bodyguards. Sebastian and James were in different cars, and they had arrived at the meeting room first.Arnold walked down a luxurious hallway, and one of his bodyguards walked first as a guide. Arnold was in the middle of his bodyguards. Several hotel guests who passed him immediately turned to look at him in stunned silence. They knew that the handsome young man who came across them was definitely not an ordinary person.In the middle of his steps, Arnold suddenly had the urge to urinate. He drank too much water before leaving here, so he had to go to the toilet quickly, or else he would have to hold it in for a long time in the meeting room.Seeing Arnold suddenly stop in his tracks, the bodyguards frowned.“Is everything alright, young master?” asked the bodyguard in a caring voice.“I just want to go to the toilet for a moment. Where is the toilet?” Arnold asked."The toilet is over there, young master," he ans
The corner of Arnold's eye glanced at Vin's face, who was mocking him. Arnold's expression looked calm, and he didn't react to Vin's words.Arnold admitted that his performance while working at The Drunken Chicken was not at his best. He was often 15 minutes to an hour late because he still had to finish house chores at the Aderwin family's house. But because he was late, he still had to work during the specified hours and came home later than his colleagues who were on the same shift. He was always responsible with his work.“Arnold, I think everyone knows that The Golden Stone Hotel is a 7-star hotel. It is the most luxurious hotel in this district. Did you think about that before setting foot here?” Vin spoke again after finding Arnold not responding to his words.Arnold sighed heavily, then replied. “I already know about that. I set foot in this hotel one hundred percent conscious. I came here with a purpose.”“But if your purpose is to work here, I suggest you to give up. They won
