Before the employee of that the shoes store could reply, Lily Osborne moved closer to Jack and snatched the luxurious shoes from Jack's hand who was surprised to see Lily standing nearby. The beautiful girl scrutinized the material of Jack's chosen shoes and also the price. Not wrong. The shoes indeed cost 200,000 USD. Lily even had to count the zeros on the back of the number two to make sure the price was correct."Are you kidding me, Jack? The price of these shoes is even more than your salary for all those years as a waiter. So, how can you possibly afford them?" Lily said in a disbelief. Tobias walked closer to his lover. "Never mind, let it go, Lily. How could he possibly have the money? He must just want to trick us."Lily handed the shoes to the employee, "Just put them back where they belong. He won't be able to pay for it. He's ... just lying to you. I'm sure when he gets to the cashier, he'll give an excuse that he can't pay for some reason. It's very predictable. That's
"Stealing? I didn't steal at all." Jack shook his head firmly.Tobias snorted loudly, "You think you can cheat me? How could a sewer rat like you have that much money?"Lily supported her lover Tobias's argument. She added in a mocking tone, "You can't even buy food sometimes. So, how could you pay for 200,000 USD shoes now? Obviously this doesn't make sense, Jack. You can't lie to me."Jack looked at the two people in turn. The man who was still holding his old-fashioned cell phone responded, "Why does it not make sense? You guys saw how I paid for it. I paid for it myself."He tried to control himself but almost lost it."You are just a liar. You must have contacted someone, right? You are only a cheater, Jack!" Lily accused with a mocking smile. Tobias Gray said quickly, "Wait a minute, Lily. Didn't you just say that he has some pretty rich friends? Well, although I'm pretty sure he's not richer than me.""Who is that person? Maybe he's helping this liar." Tobias gave Jack a condes
Aletta Miller's body shook violently at the Gray Mall owner's son's threat. The young girl was naturally very scared. She couldn't imagine what would happen if she didn't have a job. She still had a little brother who still needed a lot of money. He was only twelve years old. Next year, Aletta had to send him to another school after graduating from elementary school. How could she do all that if she was fired from the mall? Her tears fell as soon as she thought about how miserable her life and that of her brother would be if she became unemployed."Finding a job is not easy. I think you know that too," Tobias looked at the girl with an annoyed look."Forgive me, sir. But, I don't understand why my attitude is said to be wrong. I was really just trying to do it according to company regulations. Rule number 12, sir." Although Aletta was very frightened, she did not want to just give up. She wanted to prove her innocence.Suddenly Tobias laughed sarcastically, "It's my family that makes
Aletta Miller immediately wiped away the tears that had rolled down her cheeks. She then tried to look up at Tobias Gray, the son of the owner of the large mall where she worked. The young man was now standing not far from her. They were no less than three meters apart so Aletta could see how serious Tobias looked saying that. "Do you really mean it, sir? Will I not be punished?" Aletta asked in a very soft tone.Whoever heard the young girl's voice, they could easily know that the girl was indeed very scared.Lily Osborne was growing impatient and becoming increasingly annoyed with the girl who was no less beautiful than her. She was also getting jealous of her. She was afraid if Tobias was interested in her. It would be bad for her if that happened.Meanwhile Tobias still looked calm and authoritative. "When do I joke about things like this, Miss ....?""Aletta Miller," Kevin, the manager said when Tobias turned to him as if to ask him a question.He was very sad because he could n
A burst of laughter instantly filled the vicinity of the shop. It was the laughter of Tobias Gray and Lily Osborne. How could they not laugh, because in their eyes Jack Morland was the poorest student in their college. Then, they saw him defending the female employee by offering her a job. Who would believe in him? "Jack, wake up from your dream! Please don't go crazy!" Tobias shook his head and was still laughing loudly. Lily wiped away the tears that had fallen from laughing at Jack's silliness. She then responded, "Jack, come on. You're still in your right mind, right?" Jack didn't respond and instead he took Aletta's shoes that were left not far behind him. Aletta was still confused as to how she should act. "Sir, are you serious?" Aletta finally asked. "I'm always serious." Jack gave Aletta's pair of shoes to the owner. Lily rolled her eyes. Jack had always been nice to her. When she saw Jack being nice to other girls, she didn't like to see it. This did not mean Lily sti
"Sir, I really apologize to you very much. But, it's not what you think. I just feel ... I don't want to burden others." Aletta paused for a few seconds, as if thinking of the right words that would not offend Jack. Looking at Jack who seemed to be waiting for her, she quickly continued, "You helped me earlier, sir. I think that's enough. I can find my own job." Jack understood. He knew the young girl in front of him did not really trust him, but he was glad Aletta spoke in such a polite manner that he did not mind. "Alright, if that's your decision, Miss. But, if you need any help, you can contact me. I would be happy to have a worker like you." The man said as he asked Aletta to save his number. Aletta frowned but still recorded Jack's cell phone number in her phone. When Jack left the shop, Aletta immediately muttered, "If he has a company, even if it's a small one, shouldn't he have a business card? Why doesn't he have one?" Aletta shrugged, "Maybe he really wants to hide hi
When he heard the young master's order, Gideon was immediately excited. Without asking the purpose of Jack Morland wanting to buy the restaurant, the man replied obediently, "Yes, Young Master. In a few minutes, the company will be yours." "Oh, there's no need to rush, Gideon." Jack said in a low tone. "Why, Young Master?" Gideon asked in a surprised tone. "I'm going to the other mall first to submit my resignation letter as a toilet cleaner, so I'll be back at Luxen Restaurant in about two hours," Jack explained quickly. Gideon quickly understood, he then replied, "Yes, Young Master. Then, do you also want to buy the mall where you previously worked, Young Master?" Jack thought for a moment but he quickly said, "No. But ... I want you to investigate one mall. But... I want you to investigate about another mall, it is Gray Mall." "Gray Mall? What should I investigate, Young Master?" Gideon asked so as not to get his assignment wrong. "Everything, along with who the major shareho
"Yes, Young Master. I understand what you want." Gideon answered from the other side. Jack Morland was greatly relieved. It seemed like what his grandfather had said was true. Gideon was always reliable. So, after ordering Gideon to do his job, Jack immediately hung up the phone call and hurried back to Luxen Restaurant. However, just as he was about to enter through the main door, the two guards who threw themselves at him earlier held him back. "Hey, loser, what else do you want to do here?" One of the guards said while restraining Jack from entering by blocking him right in front of Jack. "I came as a guest." Jack said as he tried to get away from the guard. The guard laughed mockingly. "Guest? Who do you think you are? Do you have money to pay for food here?" The guard's friend added, "To buy the cheapest food, I'm pretty sure he can't afford it. How is he going to eat here?" Jack flashed a faint smile. "I'm not here as a dining guest, but I want to meet the director of thi
