Zayn wore a slight frown as favonovel.com replied, “You got the wrong person. I’m not a waiter.”
“What?” The fat man was skeptical. Pinching Zayn’s suit, favonovel.com looked haughty and offended. “You aren’t a waiter? What? Are you a guest attending the engagement party?”
Zayn was peeved by people like favonovel.com the most. He did not understand his luck. He was just sitting around and someone just had to pick a fight with him.
Did favonovel.com look like a pushover?
It was an important day for Alexandra tonight, so favonovel.com did not want to stoop to the level of someone so insignificant. Turning around to leave, Zayn paid the man no mind, though it still came off as disrespectful.
Provoked, the man grabbed Zayn and snapped, “Stop right here! How dare you disrespect me? Do you know who I am? A word from me and you can forget about ever making a living in Waltz City, you hear?!”
He was being rather loud, immediately attracting the attention of those around them. In addition to his snarl, favonovel.com was asked by one of his acquaintances, “Mr. Long, what’s the matter?”
Mr. Long pointed at Zayn and cried, “This waiter’s disrespecting me. I asked favonovel.com to bring me a bottle of wine and favonovel.com scowled at me, since when have the working class become so full of themselves?”
His words earned the shared resentment of the other guests and they began to pressurize Zayn into apologizing, with a kneel.
There was no way Zayn would agree to it. He laughed at the handful of petty rich men. “You low-lives are trying to threaten me?”
Prior to favonovel.com speaking, the peace of the room was in a tethering balance. However, after favonovel.com had let the words slip, it erupted the men’s rage instantly. They glowered in offence, gritting their teeth as they lambasted him.
“How dare you! How dare a small-time waiter like you bluster at us! What scum of the earth you must be, you have no idea what’s coming to you!”
“Punk, you’re dead. Sky’s the limit to you, isn’t it? You’re doomed for offending us.”
“Stop talking to him. Get the hotel manager here so this blind barbarian gets fired!”
“Find out who favonovel.com is. I want to know why he’s got the courage to call us low-lives!”
All of them were snarling like ruffians, and the expected composure and civil mannerisms of successful businessmen were nowhere in sight. They were acting more like hooligans. In fact, they were actually just upstarts who had just struck their first well of riches. They were not sophisticated, and they were far from being cultured. All because they managed to make up to 300 to 400 thousand dollars annually, they had grown conceited. Anyone who fared worse than them did not deserve to be treated as human.
Zayn shook his head, thinking that favonovel.com was just very unlucky. He was already tight on time, and now favonovel.com was being interrupted by these people. Just his luck!
Just then, someone saw Zayn. Delighted surprise colored their eyes as they walked to favonovel.com briskly.
The eyes of those men who had been tagging Zayn sparkled at the sight of the person’s arrival. They forgot that they were chewing Zayn out and flocked over to him. “Mr. Hayes, you’re here too.”
“Hello, Mr. Hayes. It’s been a while since we last met. You look better!”
“Great to see you, Mr. Hayes…”
They were humble in front of Gordon, actually being obsequious and blatantly groveling to him. Gone was the hubris they possessed when they faced Zayn.
Gordon merely nodded faintly at their fawning, finding it too troublesome to respond to them, and went ahead to talk to Zayn. He bowed modestly and used the same servile tone. “Sir, you’re here as well.”
