Wiles of the useless son in law

7

Daxon whispers to Lewis and asks for a few minutes in order to approach and talk to Cecelia. From the look of disgust on her face, he can’t help but remember Veronica and how she looked at him in the same manner. Cecelia makes his way towards him, folding her hands and tucking her hair behind her ear.

Daxon? Is it really you? She asks, using a hand to cover her mouth as she chuckles.

“Obviously…” Daxon says. He wants to keep their conversation short and simple.

“What are you doing here? How did you even get here? Sorry…why did they even allow you to enter?” Cecelia says, eyeing him from top to bottom.

“I’m here to relax. Is that a problem for you?” Daxon asks and her eyes widen.

“Relax? Do you mean in the security guard or cleaners section? Is that why you are here? Honestly, I don’t think they will hire a man like you who doesn’t even have a college degree.” Cecelia spits at him in complete disrespect.

“I don’t care what you think.” Daxon replies.

Cecelia folds her hands before replying.

“Daxon or whatever your name is…this is a ten star hotel. I and my business prospects had to wait for six months to book our conference despite being influential people. This hotel is for the one percent of the society.”

“And you, Daxon, you are nowhere close to the one percent. If you die right now, the world will move on.” Cecelia says.

“So, what does that have to do with me? Like I said to you, I’m here to relax.” Daxon replies.

“You are here to relax! You are a darn servant, a bartender and an errand boy. Look at you from head to toe, you are dressed in shabby clothes that look like you’ve worn them all your life.”

“Just wait here, I will ask the security guards to come pick you up and instantly disgrace you in the face of everyone.” Cecelia threatens.

“That’s enough!” Daxon raises his voice and she snaps.

“Did you just raise your voice at me? Do I look like Veronica to you!? She told me that you caught her in bed with her lover. How did it feel when you found her in bed with another man? It must have sucked because she never let you touch her body.” Cecelia says.

Daxon claps his hands and chuckles.

“Are you done? Oh my goodness! I am so hurt by your words and I will shoot myself in the head. Is that what you want to hear? If you are done blabbing rubbish, I will take my leave now.” Daxon says and her eyes widen in surprise.

“How dare you speak to me like that!? Don’t forget that I’m not in the same social class with you. I will ruin you in a snap! You should consider shooting yourself in the head because Veronica can never be yours.The man you are trying to compete with is Matthew Creed, the CEO of Oceanic enterprises.”

“Look around you, errand boy. Oceanic enterprises is a subsidiary of Bright group, the owners of the very hotel that you are standing in.” Cecelia says and Daxon arches an eyebrow.

“Really?” Daxon repeats and Cecelia folds her hands to reply. She doesn’t know that he is the heir and owner of Bright group and every company under it. Matthew Creed or whatever his name is, it didn’t matter, Daxon is his boss.

“Yes, Oceanic group! Are you scared? It would take you a thousand years to even get to his level.” Cecelia taunts him.

A smirk grows across Daxon’s face and he just cannot wait until everything unfolds. Without saying goodbye, he begins to walk away and she eyes him.

Cecelia isn’t looking at where she’s going and she bumps into a server carrying food and drinks. The server bumps into another server and all together, the bottles of wine they are carrying which are worth insane amounts shatter to the ground.

“Oh my goddess! What in the world! Can’t you watch where you are going!?” Cecelia shrieks at the servers.

Daxon, who was about to be escorted by Lewis to the VIP lounge, stops to watch the scene.

“Ma’am, I apologize but you didn’t watch where you were going. You bumped into us.” The female server politely says and Cecelia hits her immediately.

“How dare you!? Don’t you know the customer is always right? Where is the floor manager? I’m going to get you fired.” Cecelia yells.

“Ma’m, please control your anger.” We can settle this amicably. These are $10,000 worth of drinks. You bumped into me and caused us to break the drinks.” The female server says, trying to be discreet so that other customers won’t feel disrespected.

“I bumped into you? Where is the proof that I bumped into you? You won’t only lose your job today but I’ll make sure you are the one who is fined for the drinks!” Cecelia yells again.

“Ma, please…”

“Shut it! You don’t know who I am? The owner of this hotel is someone I know and if you continue to blame me for these drinks, you will suffer consequences.” Cecelia says, sharply.

Daxon cannot believe it. Cecelia has lied that she knows the owner of “Castle hotel” when she doesn’t. It almost makes him want to laugh.

Her voice is loud and everyone in the lobby can hear and see the catastrophe that she is pulling off. It is disturbing the guests who are having a silent conversation and those who are trying to lodge in. It is a major disturbance.

“As the new owner of the hotel, it is his responsibility to deal with matters like this.”

“Lewis, don’t do anything. I will handle her myself.”

Daxon says and walks into the conversation between Cecelia and the server.

“What is going on here?” Daxon asks.

The female server who has been informed of the change in ownership of the castle hotel immediately recognizes Daxon.

“Sir…this customer accidentally bumped into…” the server is obstructed by Cecelia before she can finish talking.

“Why are you answering this fool!? I am a high profile customer here and you are listening to this security or errand boy. I’m not even sure what he is!” Cecelia yells.

“Ma, please, you are talking to a VIP.” The female server says and Cecelia looks at her in confusion.

“Do you mean VIP of the cleaning committee? This is Daxon I’m speaking to, he is an errand boy and nothing more than that!” Cecelia says.

Instead of calming down, Cecelia is growing the tension and the important customers in the lobby are watching.

“You, Daxon says, referring to another server.”

“Yes, sir?”

“Go and get the camera footage of what happened here immediately.” Daxon says to a different server.

Cecelia claps her hands in fury and confusion.

“Daxon, I don’t know how you managed to fool everyone here thinking you are a big shot dressed in rags but I will spoil your game plan today!”

“Look, everyone!”

“Look at this man, he is pretending to be a big shot! How could ‘castle hotel’ allow such a ridiculous person to be in the VIP lounge!?” Cecelia says and everyone begins to whisper.

Judging from Daxon’s outfit, it seems as if there is truth in what Cecelia is saying.

“You can hear that right? No one here believes your facade. If you want me to pity you, get on your knees and lick my shoes. Then, I will not inform the security guards and you can be on your merry way.” Cecelia says with pride.

“I won’t do that, Cecelia.” Daxon says.

“We should call security, he could be a thief!” A customer says and Cecelia smiles.

The customers around are taking her side and Cecelia loves it.

“How about this? Go ahead and report me to whoever you want to. However, if you are the one that is dragged out of here. You will be banned from ever entering the castle hotel!” Daxon says and she frowns her face.

Cecelia does not buy it. She does not believe that she can be banned from the castle hotel. How can an errand boy who lives on cents determine that?

“Just wait here, I will get the security guards to kick you out myself!” Cecelia says and she walks away to alert the security guards on standby.

The server returns with a flash containing the footage of what really happened. It is inserted in a big screen at the receptionist corner and also, Cecelia returns too.

“Here he is! This is the imposter who is pretending to be a customer and that server…make sure you fire her too! They are in this together.” Cecelia says.

There are two security guards behind her, they are following her and she points her hands at Daxon, believing he is still the errand boy who can be bullied

The security guards bow their heads and shiver the moment they realize it is no other than the son of Christopher Winter, Daxon, who has been appointed as the heir to Bright group. Earlier, a meeting was conducted for all staff and employees to take notice of the new heir.

Daxon folds his hands. There is a smirk on his face because the tides are changing and his enemies will be swept in it.
