Emile 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. We had the information of a security breach, and that was why we came in here,” the leader of the squad said as he addressed the manager.
“Yes, that is him.” Emile said, pointing at Bruce.
“He is the intruder. Take him away from here.”
The security guard motioned against Bruce, but he hurriedly pushed Emily to himself and stood behind him as a human shield.
All the guards pointed their guns at him.
Emile was scared as hell and began breathing rapidly.
“I am not leaving here until I get my money,” Emile said.
At this point, everyone in the room was on their feet.
“Calm down, young men. Please lower your guns. Let's settle this amicably. Sergeant, you can leave with your men now. We will sort this out,” the board chairman told the head of security.
He signalled his men, and they lowered their guns and left.
Bruce left Emile and arranged his creased Lacoste.
“This guy is crazy. He is doing all of this intentionally so we can give him money. He asked me for money yesterday and I refused him. He threatened to collapse this hotel if I didn't give him the money, and I fired him on the spot.
I can see he is in pain. That is why he is doing this.” Emile screamed as he tried to catch his breath.
He had just realised that Bruce was very serious, and with the sudden display of knowledge he seemed to have about his job, Bruce could jeopardise his chances of getting his contract renewed by the company’s owner.
Now, his latest plan to counter that was to spill lies and make Bruce look like a bad person.
Everyone in the room became surprised at the revelation Emile had just made.
Everyone looked at Bruce.
“How true is this, Bruce? '' The board chairman asked Bruce.
Bruce smiled witily.
“I can see that his last resort is to plant lies here. Anyway, he is lying, and I can say that he is only trying to make me look bad. Besides, he does not have any evidence to back this up,” Bruce replied and grinned loudly, looking at Emile.
The assistant board chairman had been quiet all along.
He seemed to know the story and know what was going on, but he had kept quiet.
He looked at Emile and winked, and Emile winked back.
Jack caught the wink and knew that something was up.
“Young man. I have seen you work for a long time, and I see you work well.
However, now is not the best time to go through all of this. I think we should talk about this sometime later. However, I understand you have lost your job. I want to compensate you for this by offering you a job as a cleaner in my own company. At least that will settle the scores.
But before that, I want you to apologise to Emile and all of us here for being a nuisance,” the board chairman, Paul, offered.
The whole room went dead silent right after that.
Of course, everyone was expecting him to accept this offer on this spot. Considering the fact he was now jobless.
Bruce smiled widely and shook his head in the negative.
He looked around at his sudden audience and let out a short, mischievous laugh.
“I am sorry to disappoint you, sir, but I am not interested in the job. I know of you, and I know you are working together with Emile to dupe people around here. Like I said, he is going to be next, and you will follow,” Bruce replied.
Bruce saw the disgust and surprise on the faces of the people in the room.
He could hear them murmur to each other.
He had thrown in another punchline.
The board chairman looked at his assistant in surprise.
The manager's phone began ringing.
Everybody turned their attention to him. He smiled sheepishly and took out the phone from his suit.
He glanced at the screen, and it was an incoming call from the man who had given him the contract as the manager of the hotel. He was the caretaker of the company.
The manager let out a broad smile.
He knew the caller was about to announce his contract extension.
Emile answered the call and placed it in his ear.
“Hello, good day, sir,” he greeted the caller.
“Good day, manager. I have news for you,' the caller said in a hoarse voice.
“I'm all ears, sir,” he said with a grin, maintaining his smile.
“Well, I'm sorry to tell you this but we can't renew our contract with you as the manager of the hotel anymore.
Your contract has been terminated, and you are no longer the manager with immediate effect. You should go take all your belongings from the office.
," the caller said, and the line went dead.
Emile's face changed.
On seeing the line go off, he quickly smiled.
He did not want the guests, especially Bruce, to know that he had lost his job.
He knew that would make him the loser, and Reuben had the upper hand.
Now that he has lost his job.
He was going to be miserable and useless in the city.
