The Secret Heir Of Slytherin Empire

19. Ask everyone here

Walking into the store, Loe could not believe the crowd he saw gathered at the front section of the store where a few watches were on display.

"Oh dear God," He uttered and rushed towards the scene, worried that something has happened to his boss, Loe was already freaking out so much.

As he got to the scene, Leo noticed that Oscar was still standing and he looked fine, but the problem at hand was the fact that numerous people were accusing him of theft.

"I'm sorry what's going on?" He asked one of the customers to confirm what was going on so he'd know how to intervene.

"Oh, this man came into the store to buy something with money he stole from his boss...

"What the hell?" Leo exclaimed,

"And Oscar being such a nice man, wouldn't even try to defend himself properly, sigh, at least this has given him a clear image of what this place is like." Leo thought to himself before taking out his phone.

"Excuse me!" He finally made his way through the crowd to the centre of attention, where the bodyguards surrounded Oscar like a protective wall, but as soon as Leo came in, they gave way for him to see Oscar.

"Are you okay sir?" He asked and sighed,

"These people won't let me go, they think I am a thief...

"Which you are!" The salesman from earlier yelled, and Leo turned to face him,

"Oh you, just shut the hell up!" He snapped giving the salesman a deadly stare,

"If you have any ideas who you are accusing right now, you will be sorry," Leo added with a loud voice and the entire store went silent.

He reacted this way on purpose to give Oscar a hint on how to handle this kind of situation in the future, being all-kind isn't the best at the moment.

"You must be here to defend him huh? Just hold on, the cops will be here in no time... the salesman was yet to complete his statement when Leo silenced him with a slap across the face.

"Leo!" Oscar yelled in shock,

"I'm sorry that you have to witness this sir, but it had to be done," Leo replied, and while the salesperson struggled to fight back from being slapped, the store security held him back.

"Hey!" One of them yelled,

"You can't just walk in here and slap an employee."

"Where is the manager? Will you bring him out here or should I call her by myself?" Leo asked, and the security man rolled his eyes.

"Fine, I'll call her," Leo took out his phone, and in front of everyone, he called the store's manager.

"Hello?"

"This is Leo Angus, I'm very sure you remember who I am, and who I work for. You had better make your way to the ground floor and stop your employees from mocking me boss, or else they'd regret it."

"Ha, this idiot thinks that a fake phone call can fool us huh?"

"What is going on!" An elegant lady rushed into the scene hurriedly with a worried expression.

"What is going on?" She asked.

Her name is Stella Smith, and she knew who Leo was because Amy Slytherin never bought her jewellery elsewhere but here, and back then, Leo was her assistant.

"Where is Mrs Slytherin?" She asked Leo, hoping that her employees hadn't made her upset, because that would mean big trouble.

"She's not here," Leo replied and turned to introduce Oscar to her,

"This is Mr Oscar Fred Slytherin," He said, her jaws dropped in astonishment, the fact that this man was a Slytherin could only mean one thing.

You must be the CEO that I heard about," she said and tried to shake hands with him but the bodyguards stopped her from getting any closer.

"The CEO?" The crowd murmured in astonishment, no one could have guessed that a Slytherin was in front of them.

The salesman and even the security men were dumbfounded, and as for Oscar, he stood there speechless, he did not even know what to do next or how to react.

"My boss came in here to buy something and was accused of stealing money from his boss. Please, I would love your employee to explain to me, why the CEO of Slytherin Empire would steal money for his boss when he is the boss himself?"

The manager turned to the salesperson with an expression of surprise, and then back to Loe,

"I'm sorry, did they do that?" She asked and Leo shrugged,

"Ask them," He replied,

"Ask everyone here."

She turned back to the salesman who was already overwhelmed by the unexpected turn of events. Guilt was written all over his face, and suddenly, the talkative had lost his voice.

"How dare you?" Stella asked him, the anger in her tone was enough to send a shiver down his spine.

"I... I swear I did not know he was... I thought... I am very sorry...

"That's how you treat customers now?" She cut him off

"You randomly accused them of theft? Do you have any idea what you have done, do you know who the Slytherin's are? Do you want to put the store out of business?" She questioned him relentlessly, and without a second thought, she slapped him across the face on the same spot that Leo did.

Then she turned to Leo to apologise.

"Don't apologise to me, my boss is the one who is offended by your employee's behaviour."

Unable to even raise her head to meet Oscar's gaze, Stella fell to her knees,

"I am very sorry sir, this is not how my staff behave on a normal day, I beg you, please forgive him."

"Seeing that Oscar was already wearing an empathetic look, Leo stepped in,

"I assure you that my boss will never shop here again, and this will be the last time anyone in Axel City hears of this store after what you all have done!" He snapped, and then turned to face Oscar,

"Please let us leave sir, I will place an order for the jewellery you want."

Oscar stared at the young lady and the salesman who just stood there like a statue. He couldn't help but wonder how they would react to a poor man or even a normal-looking man.

He could already see that these people had no regard for anyone, all they see is the money, they judge your worth by your appearance and treat you based on their assumptions, such people deserve no mercy.

"Maybe next time, think before you react, you are lucky I'm not the one who slapped you," Oscar uttered, looking directly at the salesman. As for the manager who was begging for mercy, Oscar just ignored her and walked out of the store, he had already learned all he needed from Leo, maybe not everyone deserved forgiveness on the spot.
