Conglomerate Children Who Look Poor
chapter 17
It was hard for Afzal to explain his feelings for Alice.
Alice is a beautiful and elegant girl.
Alice's temperament was not favored by Afzal. Alice is not only arrogant and arrogant, but also often demeans those who are considered poor. It was difficult for Afzal to accept Alice's attitude like that.
Afzal could not understand Naomi's way of thinking. Can Naomi think of setting her up with Alice?
That's why Afzal avoided the lunch event, he imagined for sure the situation would runyam.
But Afzal did not until the heart refused the invitation of his best friend.Afzal did not want to disappoint his true friend who sincerely accompanied him all this time.
The luncheon was located at their favorite dining venue, Bludhaven.
Of course it is impossible for a Harper to treat his friends in a five-star restaurant like the rich kids like Danny and Yuri do.
Alice came in the six with her roommate.
Meanwhile Afzal also came six with his roommate, a total of seven plus Naomi.
Because Afzal was not in the dorm, so he left alone to the event.
“Naomi, I think it's best for 12 people who take lunch, so it's not weird. So we are six, plus you and five people from Afzal dorm, how?” alice said as she sat down to enjoy a glass of fruit juice in her hand.
Actually Alice has a pretty good impression of Harper and she admits that Harper is a mature and mature figure.
Too bad Harper's parents are ordinary people with ordinary lives like most teachers in high school. This Harper family background was of course below the standard Alice wanted.
“Yes, I agree with Alice. Why do we invite Afzal to come with us to lunch? Ahh.. I remember all the shitty things he did last night! Really sucks!” Hayley.
“Okay, okay. Alice, Hayley, you've had enough to mock Afzal. I think Afzal is a very good figure if you really want to know him?” Naomi said with a smile that could not be separated from her lips.
“Yes, Afzal is a very good person.” Harper followed their conversation.
“If he really is a good person, he shouldn't have let us twelve sit here waiting for him one, right? What do you think Hayley, really not my opinion?” Alice said while grunting in annoyance.
“Oh, look! Finally Afzal came too!”
Naomi stood up and waved at Afzal cheerfully and asked him to join her at the dinner table immediately.
“I'm sorry I'm late. I have to go back to the dormitory for a very important phone call. There's something I need to sort out right away.”
Afzal explained as he smiled at Naomi.
Naomi sat opposite Alice.
A while Naomi looked doubtfully before she decided to stand up and pull Afzal to sit in her chair, “Afzal, sit here!”
Afzal can guess Naomi's intention to do it all.
Without thinking much more, Afzal just followed what Naomi said.
“Jacelyn! Come on, change seats!”
Alice stood up and asked her friend to switch places with her, her face stiff and cold.
“Sorry Alice, I don't want to change seats with you. I don't want to sit face to face with the poor, I don't want people who see later to misunderstand and they think he's my girlfriend!”
“Why? Should you be proud to be Afzal's girlfriend? He could afford a bag for fifty-five thousand dollars! Hahaha!”
“Iya, true Jacelyn! You should have taken this golden opportunity!”
Jacelyn Leigh is a very graceful girl, she is crazy about fashion and make up.
Jacelyn comes from a family of friends, so it's no wonder that she also spies Afzal.
Jacelyn taunted her friends, “If you think Afzal is cool, why don't you just ask her to be your girlfriend!”
“Ahh! I surrendered. I lost.”
Instantly the beautiful girls stopped their jokes.
Each mentions the reason they refused to be considered Afzal's girlfriend, most arguing that if that happened then their dignity would fall.
Harper and Benjamin were actually upset by their conversation, but they refrained from commenting.
Afzal moved from his seat.
“Naomi, come with me to sit there. I'd better sit a little far away!”
Afzal could not help but amused and laugh at the treatment of the beautiful girls to him who treated him like he was facing a plague.
If they knew that Afzal was a wealthy man, they were guaranteed that their treatment of him would be as different as 180 degrees.
At the moment, no one among the girls is going to be Afzal's girlfriend. The situation would have been different had they known that there were countless valuable assets that Afzal had.
Afzal could have used his property to win the girls' hearts, but he didn't want to do that kind of thing.
Uhh!
Afzal decided to move away.
Naomi still wants to fix the situation because she feels that Afzal and Alice can actually be a compatible couple.
Alice and Afzal are both best friends.
“Alice?”
A handsome, tall and sturdy man clad in branded clothes from head to toe, approached their table and looked at Alice with a surprised look.
“Are you Quinton Ziegler?”
Alice was also very surprised. She fixed her hair before standing up and put a sweet smile on her pretty face.
“Yes, Alice. Long time no see, I think it's been more than two years, look at you now, it's getting pretty. I barely recognize you,” Quinton said with a smile.
“By the way, Quinton, didn't your father send you abroad for college? When are you coming home?”
“I came home two days ago and I contacted some friends to ask for your contact! By the way, I hope your problem with Emperor Karaoke Bar is over, huh? A friend of ours at High School, Desmod, called me and said that you have a little problem with them!” Quinton said as he showed a concerned expression on his face.
Alice closed her mouth with both hands so surprised.
Alice's friends were also shocked and realized something.
“Ahh! Quinton, so you're the one who helped us solve the problem that happened last night?”
Alice was surprised.
It turns out that Quinton helped Alice solve their problem, she must have asked her father to call the manager of the karaoke bar, Flynn.
Unfortunately, Flynn won't pick up the phone.
Although confused by Alice's question about whether she really helped Alice solve her problem last night, Quinton chose not to ask further.
Instead, Quinton nodded in agreement, “Iya is right, I asked my father to finish it.”
Alice was happy and proud.
Alice was flattered and she believed that real women were worth fighting for.
Suddenly, everything became clear to Alice. It turns out that the person who helped him solve his problem last night wasn't Nigel or someone else they contacted last night. It turned out that the man was his childhood friend, Quinton. He not only assuaged Flynn's anger but also took all the damage done by Alice and her friends.
Alice and Quinton had a close relationship in the past because their parents knew and were close friends.
The Quinton family business continued to grow and grow, and Quinton's parents decided to send him to study abroad.
Since Quinton moved abroad, practically the two no longer communicate with each other.
But once back from abroad, Quinton was present as the hero of Alice's rescue with the action to clear up the problem last night.
Alice is increasingly amazed by the Ziegler family for their ability to negotiate with someone like Flynn.
“Quinton, thank you for everything you've done for me?”
Alice was grateful and happy.
Afzal felt uncomfortable watching Alice thank Quinton excessively.
Afzal had taken pains to get rid of Nigel, but the fruits of his labor were taken for granted by Quinton.
Afzal wanted to tell them all that he was the one who helped them solve the problem last night. He was the one who saved them from last night's mess.
But she realized it would be useless, so Alice would hate and ridicule her even more if she said it now.
Afzal chose to remain silent because he no longer wanted to fight with Alice.
Afzal thinks maybe he should just let it all go.
“I'm here to attend the birthday party of one of my friends during High School. Alice, I'll go down first. I'll contact you again after the show! Later you can also introduce your friends to me!”
Quinton smiled and bowed his body as good as a gentleman.
“Wow! He's really handsome!”
“Alice, kog can you know with him?”
“Alice, does she have a boyfriend?”
Jacelyn and her friends scout Alice with questions driven by their curiosity for Quinton.
Alice answered proudly, “Quinton is the dream man! Do you know the Southern Food Industries company? Well that company belongs to the Quinton family they are the tycoons for the food processed industry!”
“Wow! Southern Food Industries is already “go public” and the number one company in Mayberry city! Not play!”
Their conversation was more exciting until before Afzal suddenly interrupted the conversation.
“I heard the news that the Southern Food Industries Company is having financial problems and is having capital difficulties?”
At first Afzal wanted to be quiet, but the longer the chatter they lure Afzal to open his voice.
As soon as Afzal opened his voice, instantly the low boisterous chatter stopped and the atmosphere became cold for some time.
Alice's view implied anger towards Afzal.
“What do you mean? Is it not uncommon for large companies to face capital and financial problems? You envy, huh?”
“Most people when they feel envious of someone, then they will do anything to look around for the gap of someone's weakness and used to bring it down. Absolutely disgusting behavior!” Jacelyn exclaimed with a contemptuous look.
Afzal's remarks really sparked anger...
“Alice!”
Quinton and his friend came down the stairs to their place.
