Conglomerate Children Who Look Poor
chapter 18
“Alice, your koq is like that bad mood, what's up!” quinton exclaimed as he went down the stairs and hid his hands behind his pocket.
Quinton's heart rippled every time he looked at Alice who looked much prettier than two years ago when they last met.
“Nothing, really. I'm just kind of pissed off at someone!”
Alice looked at Afzal with a cold expression.
“Really! How, there are people who do not know themselves and pretentious like that?”
Jacelyn and her friends seem to compactly hate Afzal. They all looked hard at Afzal.
Quinton looked at Afzal.
From the beginning of the meeting, Quinton could feel that Alice was upset with Afzal.
And now, he could see that Alice's frustration with Afzal was growing.
Could it be that between Alice and Afzal there is a special relationship?
Haha. It seems impossible!
Quinton deduced it from the clothes that Afzal wore.
The total price of clothes worn y, no more than thirty dollars. Quinton believes that men with Afzal-like appearance are not the type of men Alice dreams of.
“It looks like there was a misunderstanding between the two of you, huh? Why not just talk about it? Aren't you classmates so it should be open to each other!”
Quinton smiled and his eyes focused on Afzal.
“Include, my name is Quinton, nice to meet you.”
Quinton shook Afzal's hand. He stretched out his hand in such a way that the golden-colored Rolex watch that wrapped around his hand was visible.
The golden Rolex watch inevitably fascinated the girls and became even more amazed at Quinton.
Afzal knew Quinton's introduction was insincere and he could sense the malicious intent Quinton was trying to conceal.
Quinton shook Afzal's hand, Quinton suddenly exclaimed in shock, “Wow! Bro, what's your shirt brand? A brand foreign! Is this maybe a new brand? Understandably I have just come from abroad so do not know the development of the latest clothing brand.”
Quinton looked at Afzal with a mocking look, his countenance frowning, one hand holding the tip of his chin while his lips formed an arch as if he was thinking hard.
Quinton intended to attract Alice's attention by participating in the fight against Afzal to show his partisanship to Alice.
“Hahaha. This is indeed a cheap clothing brand.”
Afzal had no interest in serving up Quinton's taunts.
For Afzal, Quinton was not a match.
Actually Afzal had planned to buy some clothes using Universal Global Supreme shopper's card given by his sister. Unfortunately the minimum transaction using the card was fifty thousand dollars, Afzal felt that the amount was too big buying clothes worth fifty thousand dollars was a waste.
“Ooh. Pantesanese. Harold, by the way have you ever seen this brand of shirt? I deliberately asked you because you never went abroad?”
Quinton turned his body towards his friend.
Harold was a blond man and was staring at the beautiful girls, his eyes moving from Alice, Hayley and Jacelyn. Harold immediately caught Quinton's intention of asking and went straight into Quinton's game.
Harold shook his head, smiled and replied, “No, no, I never knew there was this brand. Try me to check on the internet for a minute, huh?”
The two acted as if they were having a serious discussion.
Everyone understood that they were actually mocking Afzal.
Surprisingly, Afzal did not feel the slightest bit riled up by all the ridicule.
Alice and the girls seemed to be pleased with Quinton and Harold's action.
“Hahaha! Your own fault, Afzal! How envious of Quinton! So yes just accept if someone reminds you who you really are, poor people!” Jacelyn said with a laugh.
“Again, Quinton just returned from studying abroad. Not level when compared to Afzal!” Alice chimed in with a slightly shrill voice.
Alice knew, as did Danny, that Quinton's act of insulting Afzal was for her sake. The difference is Quinton does it more impliedly than Danny.
Quinton did it in a more subtle way.
Alice was happy because it meant Quinton was smarter.
“Quinton, introduce them are my friends.
A glance at Afzal before Alice introduced all her friends to Quinton.
Quinton introduced Harold to Alice and her friends. Harold's family is the owner of the largest training institute in the city of Mayberry.
The two sit down and Quinton chooses a seat opposite Alice.
It seems Harold is interested in Jacelyn and Hayley.
The girls unceasingly admired Quinton and Harold while continuing to chat. They forget the original purpose of the luncheon that day, which was to celebrate the relationship between Harper and Hayley.
Quinton's presence changed everything and Harper was saddened by it.
Afzal can feel Harper's anger.
Afzal does not accept seeing his best friend Harper ignored just like that.
But Afzal has prepared anticipation for this unpleasant situation.
Before leaving the dorm, Afzal called Zack, the manager of Wayfair Mountain Entertainment. Afzal asks Zack to order a table and arrange everything for him and his friends.
Afzal doesn't want Harper to lose face in front of Hayley!
In addition, Afzal also wants to please Naomi because he knows that Naomi really wants to come to Wayfair Mountain Entertainment.
Harold tendentiously asked Harper a few things when he learned of Harper's lunch dedicated to Hayley.
Afzal couldn't wait to get them all to Wayfair Mountain Entertainment once they finished their lunch together.
Quinton suddenly said, “By the way, there was a bird news that the Fhiser family went bankrupt and had to release the Grand Marshall Restaurant in the Mayberry Commercial Street area! Adam Fisher, Nigel's father was my father's best friend. I'm trying to help them buy back that restaurant!”
Alice gasped and opened her eyes.
What happened to Nigel and his family has become an open secret.
They were with Nigel when it happened.
The girls were thrilled to hear of Quinton's plan to take over the Grand Marshall Restaurant. They wanted to be friends with Quinton.
Alice nodded faintly and said, “Yes, we know what happened to Nigel and his family. The info we heard, Nigel has offended a very influential person in Mayberry City, as a result of which the entire Fisher family business went bankrupt overnight! The Fisher family's main income is from the Grand Marshall Restaurant in Mayberry Commercial Street area, I can't imagine they will survive after this.”
Quinton greatly enjoyed the look of the girls admiration towards him.
Quinton nodded and said, “My father agreed to my idea of taking over the restaurant. I'm sure you all know the value of the business and effort at Mayberry Commercial Street. Once you open a business there, it is certain that the business will make money for you like running water! My father said in the area now there is a palace that is very magnificent and luxurious even in it there is a hot spring!”
“Wayfair Mountain Entertainment!”
All the compacts exclaimed for the sake of hearing the word palace that there was a hot spring inside.
Quinton nodded and smiled before saying, “Have any of you ever been there?”
Alice recalled the embarrassing incident the night before.
Alice didn't want to hide that from Quinton.
Alice briefly explained everything to Quinton.
As soon as Alice finished with the story, Quinton smiled and said, “I don't see why Nigel did such a foolish thing. Alice, instead, I want to take you and your friends to Wayfair Mountain Entertainment right now! Wait, I'll call my dad first, yeah.”
“Ahh! Seriously, huh? You are so cool, Quinton!” Jacelyn said cheerfully.
“Serious, dong. Wait, yeah. I called my dad first.” Quinton took the phone out of his pocket and contacted his father.
Quinton ended his phone call.
“It looks like we have to go now because the more noon will be more crowded visitors. If the afternoon visitors are very rame, it will be difficult for my father to work the table for us.”
“Okay! Let's go!”
The girls did not mind leaving at that very moment.
“Alright, Harold and I will get a car so we can get there with.”
“But Quinton, two cars only fit for us girls. How about them?” Alice asked as she pointed at Harper and her friends.
Quinton looked at Harper and asked, “Lho, you didn't bring the car here?”
Harper shook his head, he was distressed by Quinton's question.
“Already, you guys just go by yourself.”
The situation becomes very uncomfortable and makes Naomi worried. But then he decided, “If they don't go then alu also don't!”
Afzal felt sorry for Naomi who was always in a difficult position. Afzal knows how much Naomi wants to go to Wayfair Mountain Entertainment.
Hurriedly Afzal said, “Naomi, you go first with them. Me and my friends will follow. We also have a table message complete with menus!”
Afzal deliberately emphasized his words to provoke Alice and Hayley's reaction.
Afzal is upset that Alice and her friends do not appreciate Harper. They will just leave without tasting the slightest bit of food that has been served at the table.
As a sensitive person, Alice could feel that the words Afzal said were directed at her. Then Alice replied, “Hahaha. You're gonna catch up with us? Who do you think you can get into Wayfair Mountain Entertainment without Quinton? Anyway, why are you circus? Tell me if you want me to pay for all the food you ordered?”
Harper hastily prevented, “No need, already, you guys just go now. See you, Hayley!”
Harper looked at Hayley, inwardly she still wanted to spend time with him. But Alice was right, that it was impossible for her to catch up with Wayfair Mountain Entertainment, she must have been rejected at the entrance.
Alice and her friends go with Quinton and Harold. Harper is grateful that while both are unpleasant, the situation is not as bad as last night.
After Hayley and her friends pass, Harper's heart breaks and loses her appetite.
Harper was discouraged.
“Harper, don't give up. I'll say we're going to the palace and I'll make sure we can do it. Please this time you believe in me.”
Afzal patted Harper on the shoulder to strengthen her.
Harper smiled bitterly and said, “have it, forget it. Come on, we eat then go back to the dorm and sleep!”
Afzal knew that Harper was trying to be tough to cover up his disappointment.
Afzal smiled and felt that it was time for him to show his true self. It was enough that Harper and his friends experienced insults and ridicule because of him.
Afzal was also very disappointed.
Afzal pulled out his phone and started calling Zack.
“Zack, after this my friends and I are going to Wayfair Mountain Entertainment. Please send two cars to pick us up, okay?
At the end of the phone, Zack answered with great respect.
“Good, Mr. Crawford. Of course I can, I'll get ready soon. Please send us your location, Mr?”
Afzal sent his location to Zack and hung up the phone afterwards.
Harper looked at Afzal in surprise.
“Crazy, you Afzal! Who do you think you just called?”
