2023-04-11 23:23:05" If I may ask, why did the card not work when that young man used it earlier? Was there something wrong with it?" Griffin could not afford to forget what was baffling him.
He was almost disgraced and dragged away because of that.
The manager sighed and lowered his head a little. " The issue is that the general machine over there can only process and approve transfers under 500k dollars and nothing more than that but you wanted to pay 1 million dollars. Only the machine inside the VIP room can process that. I am very sorry for my workers negligence, Sir. " The manager explained and apologized.
Griffin breathed in relief and smiled. " It's okay then. I was just baffled, that's all. " He replied.
The manager bowed one more time before turning his head to look at his workers. He sighted the young man that attended to Griffin earlier and called him over.
" You! Don't tell me you don't know that the machine there can only approve 500k dollars. Why did you have to go try it on that?" He asked, his voice turning extremely cold. A vast difference from when he was talking to Griffin.
The young man sighed. He lowered his head, falling ashamed. " I'm sorry, sir. It's my third day at work and no customer has gotten something more than 500k dollars. I'm really sorry, Sir. " He apologized sincerely.
" You don't know? You really don't know and you call yourself a staff here?!" The man hollered angrily!
Griffin felt uncomfortable seeing the manager yelling so loud at the young man. This young man had created a great impression of himself toward Griffin and Griffin really appreciated it.
He walked forward and waved his hand. " It's okay. He said he is a new staff here and he did not know. That is enough, Please." Griffin apologized on his behalf and as he expected~
The manager formed a smile and bowed " Okay sir. " He turned to the young man " Mr. Griffin just favored you. You can return to your work. " he said.
The young man raised his head and his eyes were full of appreciation. He smiled happily and bowed ~ " Thank you very much sir! Thank you, Sir!" He kept shouting as he rushed back to his work.
" Oh No! I'm in trouble!" Amy cried! Her face turned pale and her lips quivered!
" How did Griffin become so rich in few years? I knew him to be very poor!" She was baffled but most of all, she knew it was over for her!
The pot bellied man noticed Amy's pale look and his heart raced. He looked ahead and his heart sank when he saw the way the manager was acting totally respectful toward Griffin ~ " What have I landed myself into?" He grumbled.
He was terrified. The pot bellied man was from a third tier family and he wasn't even the henchman of his family but just a member who had no hope of becoming the henchman any day.
The manager was something he looked up to because he was richer than him but... " The manager himself is richer than I am but this young man seems to be even richer than the Manager. I guess I've landed myself in a hot soup this time around. " The man cried inwardly.
" I've always been careful so that I won't offend big shots but today... Oh No! What do I do now?" He wailed inwardly and cursed Amy in his heart. He wouldn't have been in this trouble if Amy hadn't talked about someone being poor in front of him!
The pot bellied man looked around and his eyes twitched. " I must make amend before anything else. I need to curry favor from him or I might lose everything I have left. " He told himself and walked toward Amy.
" You, why did you have to do that? Why did you have to insult someone of such caliber and..." He paused as he searched for what else he needed to say. ~ " Wench, you manipulated me and made me offend a big shot. You need to take responsibility right now!" He yelled and without warning, he landed a heavy slap across Amy's face!
Amy staggered backward and held her cheeks! Her eyes turned red and she looked at the man with wronged look. " But..." she immediately stopped as the man raised his hand, indicating he would slap her again.
The pot bellied man dropped his hand, rolled his eyes at Amy and turned to face Griffin and the manager. His fat face curved into a warm smile as he bowed respectfully ~" Oh! Mr. Griffin. You must have been shocked, right? This silly man had forgotten his place earlier and joined that dirty wench to insult a royal blood like you."
" I don't know what to say to justify myself but I hope you will be magnanimous enough to forgive me. I'm sure you don't want to waste your time dealing with a poor man like me and I really hope you will forgive me, Handsome Mr. Griffin. " He apologized while also trying to buttlick him, turning himself to an ass kisser!
Griffin who was busy discussing with the manager was taken aback when he heard the pot bellied man voice. He turned his head to look at him and the look on his face disgust him.
" pleading now, huh?" He muttered inwardly and sneered.
" I will like to take my leave now. " Griffin said to the manager as he couldn't afford to wait a minute longer in the room.
The manager smiled excitedly and bowed. " Okay, Sir. You can come back after 4 hours, I would have processed all the documents before then and I will make sure to attend to you myself. " He replied respectfully.
Griffin nodded, bowed a little and walked out of the building with his shoulder up in the air. He felt extremely happy and fulfilled! " This was the life I've always wanted!" He mumbled with a big smile on his face.
The manager watched Griffin walked out of the building before he raised his back to stand right. He had stayed in a bowing position since the moment he found out how rich Griffin was and his back was starting to ache.
He breathed in relief and sighed. " Thank goodness, I was able to pacify him and make him smile before he left. I can't imagine what will become of this company if I failed to pacify him. This is really great~ I feel so relieved. " He mumbled to himself with a big smile on his face but his smile soon turned to a big frown as he took his eyes away from the entrance and faced the pot bellied man.
" You and you. I never knew you two were so close that you could think of ganging up to insult a client whom you should have worshiped." He muttered and shook his head.
He turned to face the other staffs and cleared his throat. He pointed to a woman sitting at a corner. " Process Amy's sack letter. I don't want to see her in this place ever again. " He announced coldly and Amy gasped!
The manager walked over to the pot bellied man and looked straight into his eyes " As from today henceforth, I must never see you set your feet into this place again or I will make you regret it for the rest of your pathetic life. " He warned and made sure his voice was loud enough for the staffs to hear.
The man was shocked. He looked at the manager with terrified gaze~ " Who is that man?" He asked with curiosity in his tone.
The manager rolled his eyes and sneered. " I see you don't know but that card belongs to the Edward's family only. " He replied and the man fainted!
