2024-11-25 17:07:29REVENGE INITIATED
It was the early morning of the day.
The premises of the Grand View Hotel were decorated beautifully.
The day was bright, and so were all the workers.
Everybody was neatly dressed and presentable and had huge smiles on their faces.
Emile emerged from his office to the reception with his assistant, glancing at his wristwatch.
He was dressed smartly in a piece of suit with a matching pair of shoes.
He walked over to the receptionist with a serious face.
“Any sign of him and his group yet?” Emile asked the receptionist.
“No, sir. But according to the time they gave us, he should be here any moment from now,” the receptionist replied with a smile, gazing at the door.
It was evident that they were expecting the arrival of an esteemed guest in the hotel, hence the change in the mood of everyone.
Emile looked around and grinned loudly.
“Since he is not yet here, I will go talk with the other workers and the members of the board. We have to be adequately prepared for the arrival of our boss.
Whenever you see him around quickly, I'll beep my phone so I can come around and meet him before taking him in,” Emile said, and with that, he left the reception with his assistant.
Bruce got down from the taxi in front of the Grand View Hotel.
He looked at the decorations around and smiled to himself.
He was dressed normally, in a pair of trousers and Lacoste, and he wore a sandal.
Bruce walked into the hotel with a smile on his face.
The security men at the gate smiled and nodded at him, opening the door for him to enter the reception.
Bruce smiled back and entered the reception.
He saw the receptionist looking eagerly at the door and somehow sighing when he saw him in.
He noticed the receptionist frown.
He walked to her with a smile.
“Hello Josephine, How are you doing?” Bruce greeted.
“What are you doing here, Bruce? I thought Emile fired you yesterday.” The receptionist asked Bruce with a stern gaze.
Bruce shrugged and forged a smile.
“Well, no. He didn’t. I quit the job myself. Besides, I am here to see him,” Bruce replied.
“I don't think this is the best time to see him, Bruce. He is expecting a very important person today, the owner of this hotel. I think you should come back later,” the receptionist told Bruce.
“I am well aware of that, Josephine, and he knows very well that I am here, so kindly tell me where he is so I go see him,” Bruce replied calmly.
The receptionist looked at him suspiciously and picked up her telephone.
She punched some numbers and was about to call, but then she hesitated and dropped the receiver.
“Security!!” Josephine called out.
“Why are you calling the security?” Bruce asked almost immediately.
“I am sorry, Bruce, but Emile said not to allow you in. You have to leave this place now.”
By the time Josephine was done speaking, three security men were already behind him.
At that same moment, the personal assistant of Emile came in and saw Bruce.
“Security, please escort Bruce out of the premises,” Josephine told the security men.
Bruce was not surprised. He had anticipated it, and he looked very calm.
“Come with us, sir,” one of the security men told him.
Bruce looked back at the men and smiled. He then turned and tried to make his way into the conference room.
“Hey, you stop!” The security shouted as they ran after him and held him.
Bruce was expecting a reaction.
He quickly grabbed the arm of the first security guard and twisted it, leaving him screaming in pain.
The second guard got a kick in his balls, and the third raised his hands in surrender, seeing what had been done to his colleagues.
Emile’s assistant and the receptionist all looked shocked at the happenings.
The assistant took out her phone and tried to dial something, but Bruce was faster.
He grabbed the phone from her.
“There is no need. I need to see Emile, “Bruce said as he dropped the phone on the ground and hurriedly made his way into the inner part of the hotel, but then he stopped.
“Where can I find him?” He asked.
“In the conference room,” Josephine replied shakily.
Bruce smiled and nodded and quickly made his way to the gate, leading to the conference room.
Josephine and the assistant looked at each other in shock.
Bruce hurried down the corridor and got to the gate of the conference room.
He could hear voices in the room that were happy people.
Without knocking, he opened the door and walked in.
All gazes in the room were directed to him as he entered, and he could read the disappointment in their faces.
“What on earth are you doing here and who allowed you here?” Emile fumed angrily at him.
He looked very surprised to see Bruce there.
“I walked right through the door, sir. I came here in peace. I only came in here for my salary,” Bruce said calmly with a smile.
The smile was like adding salt to injury.
“Get the hell out of here before I lose it,” Emile retorted.
“No, wait, Emile. I know this young man. He seems to be the cleaner of this place. What does he mean by his statement?" The board chairman interrupted him before he could finish with his action.
Emile clenched his fist in anger.
“He was, sir. He was the cleaner here. I fired him yesterday,” Emile replied, trying as much as he could not to sound rude to the board chairman.
“I quit, sir. I have been working for the past year without salary,” Bruce quickly chipped in.
Emile flashed him a deadly stare as if trying to pierce Bruce with his gaze.
The board chairman and the other members of the board all looked surprised.
“That's a... ” Emile tried to explain but was cut short as the board chairman raised his hand, signifying him to stop.
“Young man, you claim you have been working for a year without a salary. How did this happen?” The board chairman asked with interest.
“Well, sir, I have been working with this hotel for a year and he has refused to pay me my wages. I quit the job yesterday after he treated me like trash. I am only here today to take my money because I know his contract with this company has expired and is not going to be renewed,” Bruce said and smirked.
Emile looked at him in shock. His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

THE ALL-KNOWINGEmile frowned at Bruce. He looked all surprised, and he could also tell the shock on the faces of the board of directors.“This is a very serious allegation, young man, but first, explain to us how you got to know that the contract of your manager here has expired,” one of the members of the board asked.“I just happen to know, sir. I was one of the few loyal people in the company, and per what I know, Emile’s contract today will not be extended. He will be sacked, and he has a bad record already,” Bruce said and smirked.Emile quickly feigned a mysterious laughter.“Listen up here, loser. I am not like you and will never be like you. I am the best manager in the history of this hotel, and I know very well that I am going to be retained.”Emile could not finish his speech as the door of the conference room barged open and five security men entered with guns.They lowered their guns on entering and seeing the board members.“We are sorry, sirs.

Would any of you like to take a drink?” Bruce asked with a mocking smile on his face.Now it was Jones' turn to be surprised. It was like he had seen a ghost, and he could not believe his eyes.“I remember getting your supervisor to fire you this morning. Why are you still here, and why is he saying he let them fire you a few minutes ago?” Jones asked in surprise.“Would any of you care for a drink?” Bruce replied and feigned a smile on his face while intentionally ignoring the two questions from the men.The manner in which he ignored the questions sparked anger in both men.“Where the fuck is your manager, huh?” Jones requested.“He is in there.
