"You're like the main character in a superhero movie," she giggled, unable to contain her admiration."Really?" Zane responded nonchalantly, a slight smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. "It's not that impressive, Emma. They're just no match for me. These are just basic fighting skills," he explained, shrugging off his impressive display of strength."Zane, I can't tell if you're being humble or just showing off," Emma chuckled, playfully nudging him.

It's your responsibility to serve your customers! But instead, your staff is slacking," she retorted with disdain dripping from her voice.Undeterred by her provocations, Zane faced her squarely. "Ma'am, if you do not wish to wait in line and make a scene, you are free to leave. We serve all our customers in the order they arrive," he calmly explained."How dare you speak to a customer like that!" the woman exclaimed.But Zane wasn't finished.

What concerns us now is the undue distress you've caused my staff with your behavior."Pointing to her drenched hair, Mrs. Amber retorted, "Look at me! I'm a mess because of your employee's incompetence."Her arrogance seemed to have no bounds as she continued, "But I'm not surprised, after finding out that you're the boss. I think all the employees here are really incompetent. Can't you afford to pay them more?"Zane, however, redirected the conversation to the main issue.

It’s disgusting."“Hahaha, Zane Gardner, I don’t know what John told you. But, yes, you two were pretty close. I was hurt—it felt like unrequited love, hahaha.”“Stop your nonsense.”“Wow, you’re braver than John, huh? He should’ve learned more from you, hahaha.”Zane remained where he stood.
